I think I'm blurring the line between Mine and Tidus's predicament here. Ah
well. I don't think I was that mouthy, though. Even though he'll never read
this, this is dedicated to my wonderful dentist. I felt nothing during my
canal, though it hurts like a bitch at the moment. Um. the glasses thing?
*in story* That actually happened.o_0

"Boy, if you don't stop fidgeting, I am /going/ to do something you'll regret," Auron warned, glaring at the sixteen year old quivering beside him. Tidus didn't say anything, but dropped his head into his hands, his mop of blond hair pouring over his fingertips. Auron rolled his eye and grunted, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Oh, /sure/, Auron, be like that. It's not like you're about to have major surgery on /your/ mouth, old man," Tidus moaned, not bothering to lift his head. They were seated at the local dentist's office, the absolute last place Tidus wanted to be in the entire universe. Well, no, that wasn't true. That one new girl on the Abe's practice team? The really annoying one that had an overly obvious crush on him? Alright, maybe her bedroom was the absolute last place in the world. He could imagine himself, duck-taped to her chair or something.
"Well," Auron broke through his thoughts, "If you'd stop drinking that vile syrupy goo every day, morning noon and night."
"Auron, it's /soda!/ Everybody drinks it fer cryin' out loud."
"Odd, I don't see anyone else in here waiting for-"
"Ok, Ok? Shut up now? Thank you? God." Tidus moaned, one knee bouncing insanely against his elbow.
Honestly. Auron sighed again, feeling unbidden pity for his charge. "It won't be that bad, boy. What did the doctor say? The nerve was hurting? That's why you're in pain, correct?"
"Yea," Tidus mumbled from his palms. "It hurts like all hell after they filled my last cavity-" Auron cleared his throat, but Tidus ignored him, "so they're gonna take my nerve out."
"So. If they take out the part that hurts, then you won't feel any pain. Why are you so worried again?"
Tidus sighed in exasperation. That man was just dumb to modern technology.
"Imagine," Tidus hissed, rapidly lifting his face, coming inches to Auron's collar, "A big, nice drill going through your tooth and into your gum, /underneath/ the tooth. Spinning round' and round, tearing. grinding." All the while, the boy spinning one finger before the elder man's face. Much to his pleasure, Tidus caught the minuscule shudder that ran the length of Auron's body.
The young blitzer's lecture was cut short when a tall bond woman in purple scrubs came forward from the counter.
"Tidus?" She asked, though there were only two people in the waiting area. Tidus shuddered and whimpered, his angry resolve turning chicken shit. Auron cleared his throat, and patted the boy's cheek.
"Good luck, then. Think about something else while they're. working," Auron offered. Tidus glared at him. Well, Braska said he was horrible at comforting people in times of great personal pain.
Tidus stifled his whine and tried to stop shaking as he was lead into the office. A kindly man greeted him, a small smile on his face.
"Hello Tidus," Dr. Gilmer said, standing aside so that the boy could sit in the ominous chair.
"Hi," the boy said softly, folding his hands in his lap. As the dentist sat beside him, Tidus stole a look to his right. and felt his heartbeat quicken. A tray of long, spiraled drill bits was resting to his right, each piece of metal long and sharp, about 1 ½ inches long.
"It's all right," Dr. Gilmer said, watching the boy's eyes widen at his arsenal of tools. "I'll make sure you won't feel it at all."
"Really?"
"It'll be just like when I filled you cavity. No pain, I promise."
Feeling a little better, Tidus breathed deeply, though he could not stop his legs from shaking. Oh, the bravery here.
The dentist started humming, his voice somewhat relaxing, though not much. The assistant reached over to grab what was know to Tidus as The Big Friggin Shot needle. Crap. Crapcrapcrapcrap..
The dentist wiggled his cheek with one hand while administering the Novocain in the other. Well. damn. Tidus didn't feel it at all. Ok. This was workable.
And that was the last thing he felt. Was he saw, on the other hand, that was a different story all together.
I have more, but um I need sleep. This is the most retarded story I've ever written.. But it's fun! ^-^
