Kurt felt like the X-ray was taken way to fast, and, before he was able to really think about it, the dentist put it up over his head.

"Well, that is some good news!", the dentist said and grinned. Blaine gave Kurt a kiss on his forehead.

Kurt just blinked. "What is going on?"

The dentist smiled wider. "Neither did the cavity reach the root, nor do you have a second cavity. Well, you sort of do, but it is not gone past the enamel and if you come in regularly, we can just leave it for now. Does that sound good?"

Kurt felt the weight falling off. He could handle that. He was still scared, but one filling was manageable. And the one thing that was motivating him was that he would not be in the need of coming back. He could get this done and he would have six months of freedom. "It's good news, I guess."

They all started laughing. Laughing at the shop of horror? What was going on here? Kurt wasn't believing it.

"Okay, Kurt. I will just get you set up and numb you. We will wait for a few minutes, so the novocain takes full effect, and you will be ready. The actual procedure will take approximately twenty minutes, that includes the filling. Okay?", Dr. Epstein said, preparing the injection.

Kurt knew that the moment was coming. He was not to scared of the actual procedure, but he had a hatred for needles. Last time the doctor tried drawing blood, he was extremely close to running away, and when it came to the actual thing he had passed out. He hated being such a wimp when it came to medical related things. In many occasions he was rather brave, but this was certainly not one of those.

"And you can't do it without the anaesthetisation?", Kurt asked, knowing that it was a dumb idea.

"Kurt, dentistry does not need to hurt today. And I will numb your gums, before I inject the novocain. But a cavity that is that close to the never, is certainly no candidate for drilling without numbing you. I want you to not be afraid, not for you to gain any more bad experiences. And that includes a painless procedure. It will not hurt to get the injection, you have to trust me with this. And even if it was hurting, it cannot be worse than the pain you are already in. In fact, the moment the anaesthetisation is injected, your pain will be gone. So it would be great, if you found yourself to be able to do this. Do you think you can?", Kurt hadn't concentrated on the voice of the dentist yet. He had a deep, calming voice, and a slight British accent. And it made Kurt relax. He knew his fear was irrational and the dentist made him realise it even more.

"I thi...iink I c.. can." He was still feeling uncomfortable and he had started shaking again, but he knew as well, that he was able to get threw it.

"Okay. Again, if you need a break, just raise your hand. I will stop immediately.", Dr. Epstein took the injection, "Okay, Kurt. Open up."

Kurt opened his mouth and he felt Blaine's hand holding onto his. The first thing that he felt in his mouth was some soft stuff. It touched his gums and they felt weird after a second. The numbing gel had been applied. After a second he felt some pressure on his gums. "Close again.", the dentist said. That was it? Kurt was confused. The last injection he got had felt like there had been a flaming hot needle applied to his skin, and now he didn't even notice it being done? May be dentist weren't so bad after all. "I will leave you for a minute. When I'm back we will start, right?", Kurt nodded.

The dentist left the room and Blaine got up.

"Kurt...", he said, shaking his head. "What is going on here? You were so calm... The last time you were supposed to get poked by a needle..."

"I know. Please just let it go. And yes, you weird, British, hot...", Blaine raised his eye brow, "...sorry. That dentist is just amazing. I didn't even feel a prick, seriously... And my tooth isn't even hurting anymore."

Now Blaine smiled and Kurt felt pressure on his cheek. Blaine was kissing him. "You are doing great. We get this over quickly and you will get a treat, when you are done, deal?"

Kurt grinned. That was what he had hoped for. "Deal!"

Blaine started chuckling and Kurt grinned. He noticed that only one side of his face was moving.

"Do you think you are ready to go, Kurt?", the dentist's voice came from the door.

"I guess I am.", Kurt said and moved his tongue over the numb side of his mouth. "I cannot feel a thing..."

"Okay, great. I will just test, if you are really numb and then we will get started. Blaine?", the dentist asked and Blaine looked up. "Do you think you can move a little to the side? Freda will have to suction and the best place to do it from is where you sit. Could you sit there", he pointed to a place a foot to the right.

"Sure.", Blaine said and moved, not releasing Kurt's hand.

"Okay, let's get started, then. Kurt, you know what to do, don't you?", the dentist asked and Kurt opened. "Good."

The drill was started and the memories came flooding back into Kurt's mind and he was unable to think rationally. The only thing he could think of was the pain. He raised his hand instantly.

"I am so sorry...", Kurt said, tears in his eyes.

"It is fine... Do you know anything we could do to calm you down a bit?", the dentist asked.

Blaine looked up, then Kurt saw him walking around the chair and he felt a hand on his head. "I think I got this. You can restart.

The drill was started again, but the only thing Kurt was able to hear was Blaine's voice, whispering. Kurt started to feel the pressure, but he didn't care. Blaine was singing into his ear and stroking his hair, and it was the most relaxing thing that could have done. Kurt didn't notice that the time was flying and after what felt like a second to him, the dentist retracted his tools and the assistant went back to the PC.

"You are done, Kurt. Just bite down...", the dentist said. Kurt complied. "Is there any type of hump?"

Kurt shook his head.

"That means you are ready to leave, Kurt.", the dentist said, smiling.

Kurt got up and the first thing he did was hugging Blaine. He was standing there for an eternity, just holding Blaine tight. Then he started talking again. "Thank you. Thank you all. I could not have done it, without you, my love...", he said, nodding towards Blaine, whom started blushing. "And you, doc, you are just amazing. I could never have imagined to meet such a calming, understanding dentist. I am just about the happiest person on earth right now. You were amazing."

Dr. Epstein smiled. "I am glad you feel this way. You did amazing! I am so happy you got it done. And I think you will be coming back in six months, right?"

"I will. And I will do it, without being dragged in.", Kurt said and they all laughed.

They all shook hands and Blaine and Kurt were about to get out of the door, when Dr. Epstein stopped them. "Wait. You are done, Kurt. But I need to talk to Blaine..."

I couldn't just end it, so you get a little twist here. I hope you enjoyed the chapter, please state your opinion on it, if you have anything to say :)
