Kurt was sitting in the recliner chair with his mouth wide open. Blaine was doing something, according to him, called periodontal probe and Kurt did not want to know what it was. It did not feel good at all, but Blaine was smiling here and there and Kurt started to think of being somewhere else, making Blaine smile for other reasons.
"Kurt, I must admit, you are doing an amazing job with your dental hygiene. Your gums are super healthy...", Blaine grinned and Kurt was about to answer, when he remembered that he had a bunch of dental tools as well as his husbands hands in his mouth, so he settled on just nodding. "I start scraping some stuff off your teeth, but because they are so clean it will only take a few moments. After that I am going on polishing them."
Blaine took a sharp thing and picked around in Kurt's mouth. It made and unpleasant sound and Kurt dug his nails into the arm rests. He knew that he was about to cry again, but he wanted to keep it in. It was not to bad and he could make it threw this. There were enough moments to come this day when Blaine would be getting worried and this simple thing should not be one of those. Kurt remembered their honey moon, snorkeling on the Bahamas. The fishes swimming around them, kissing each other under water. He noticed his muscles relaxing. Then he heard a sound and opened his eyes. The drill! He remembered that sound. Without thinking he closed his mouth and held his hand in front of it.
"I am sorry Kurt, I should have warned you. That thing to polish your teeth makes a really bad sound, but really, it is just an electric toothbrush. Look!", Blaine was holding a thing that really just looked like a toothbrush on the drill. Blaine took his hand and moved it down onto the arm rest again. "Kurt, will you open wide for me again?"
"Yes...", Kurt said feeling a little stupid.
"How are you doing this every six months?", Blaine asked. Kurt shrug before he opened again. There would come a moment to tell Blaine how long it had been that he saw an office from the inside, but it was not going to happen before this was over.
Blaine was putting on the polisher again and Kurt squinted his eyes really hard. "Kurt, you are doing just fine. This is over soon and then I will talk to you about what has to be done. Just relax. You will get everything you want; tonight.", Kurt did not relax. He would take this a lot longer if that meant no drill for him today. He would also trade every bravery reward for not having to do anything additional to this.
"Done, Kurt! You can close now. I will take a look at the X-ray before we continue. Then I will set up the rest. Just stay seated.", Blaine said when he left the room to get some things.
It actually has been quite a while since I have had my last dental exam, so this may not all be correct, just tell me if something is really off (I don't think I had a real cleaning done either, somehow it is not done in Germany I guess).
I hope you enjoy this chapter!
