Jeff woke up to the amazing sight of his handsome husband Nick returning from his morning run. Clothed in just a pair of black basketball shorts and a grey muscle shirt. He gave Jeff a quick peck on the cheek.

"Good morning sleepyhead, I'm going to take a quick shower. You should wake up and greet the day."

Jeff flicked off his duvet and sat up, his golden blonde hair messy and sticking up. He stumbled his way to the bathroom where Nickwas showering and grabbed his toothbrush. He began to brush his teeth only to be hit with a shock of pain in his mouth. "OW!" He yelled and dropped his brush in the sink.

"You ok honey?" Nick's voice trailed from inside the shower as he peaked his head around the curtain. "Fine, I just stubbed my toe..." Jeff had been keeping this problem of his hidden from Nick for a week and a half. He didn't want him to become concerned. Mainly because Nick was A dentist and Jeff was terrified of them.

After Nick's shower he and Jeff sat down to eat breakfast together. It was Jeff's day off and he liked to spend his mornings with Nick before he left for work.

"You want some waffles?" Nick inquired. They were Jeff's favorite but he was trying to avoid chewing too hard with his husband around. He knew if he declined Nick would get suspicious, so he cautiously accepted.

Nick placed a plate of waffles in front of his husband and poured himself some coffee. Jeff began slowly eating his breakfast.

"Is your toe ok?" Nick questioned. Jeff was trying to quickly come up with a response, and in his thought he forgot to concentrate on his food. He bit down on his bad tooth and cried out in pain "OW!" He yelled. Nick rushed over in concern. "What's wrong Jeff, is it your teeth? Are you ok?"

Jeff just looked up at Nick like a kicked puppy cupping his cheek.

"Let me take you to the office ok? I'll find out what's wrong and we'll fix it." Nick stated grabbing his coat. Jeff quickly argued "No really I'm fine I just hit my toe again honestly!"

"Jeff, your holding your face in pain. Now grab your shoes and let's go." Nick ordered

Jeff nervously put on his shoes and jacket and was lead out to the car by his very concerned lover.

The car ride over was silent an Jeff kept squirming uncomfortably in his seat. Nick noticed and told him to relax.

When they arrived at the office Nick briskly got out of the car and went around to Jeff's side expecting him to get out. Jeff just sat in the passengers seat staring at the building like it was going to eat him. "Jeff come on, it's time to get out of the car." Nick coaxed. Jeff was not as receptive to his persuading and quickly locked his door. Nick then in one swift movement unlocked the door and pulled it open. Jeff tried to push himself away but Nick dragged him out too fast.

"Jeff come on it'll be alright, you know I wouldn't hurt you." Nick soothed. Jeff merely gave a soft whine and allowed nick to lead him inside.

Once inside the office Nick didn't let go of Jeff's hand. They walked up to the receptionist and Nick spoke briefly with her before bringing Jeff to the back.

Jeff followed Nick back to the exam room. Nick walked through the door and began prepping what he would need. Jeff suddenly stopped in the doorway unable to follow Nick into the dreaded exam room. It finally caught up to him this was really happening. And now Nick was about to find out how much of a coward his husband was.

"Jeff, is everything alright?" Nick questioned with a concerned look on his face.

"Everything is fine Nicky, in fact my tooth is feeling a lot better. I don't think you need to look at it anymore!" Jeff stammered slowly taking a few steps back. Nick gave him a disapproving stare. He slowly stood up from his stool and reached a hand towards his husband.

"Jeffy, there's no need to be scared."

Jeff scoffed "I'm not scared... I'm just feeling better that's all..."

"Well then, why don't I take a look just in case." Nick soothed as he took Jeff by the wrist and guided him to the chair. Jeff whimpered low enough that Nick couldn't hear and slowly sat down.

Jeff could feel his heart beating harder as Nick brought over his tools. Nick placed a bib on Jeff and pulled on a pair of gloves and a mask. When he flipped on the overhead light Jeff's breathing became more uneven.

Nick noticed and gave his shoulder a reassuring squeeze. Jeff visibly relaxed and he gave his husband a weak smile. "You'll be ok." Nick soothed. He grabbed his probe and mirror and held them below Jeff's lower lip.

"Ok honey, open up." Nick ordered

Jeff shook his head and kept his jaw clenched tight. He gave nick a pleading look begging him to reconsider.

"We're not leaving until I find out what wrong with your teeth jeffy, now please will you let me see?" Nick coaxed. "It won't hurt, I'm just going to look."

Jeff opened his mouth slowly and watched nervously as Nick's tools entered his mouth.

As Nick checked Jeff's teeth one by one he grew closer to the problem. Jeff's knuckles were turning white from his grip on the armrests.

Suddenly he tapped the second molar on the bottom right and Jeff cried out in pain. His hand flew to cradle his face where the pain emerged from.

"It looks like you have a good sized cavity honey" Nick explained. "Is it sensitive?" Jeff slowly nodded his head " what d-do you h-have to do Nick?" He stammered.

"I'll just need to give it a filling, shouldn't take longer than 15 minutes max." Nick explained.

"Could it wait for a few days?" Jeff asked hopefully. Maybe if they waited Nick would forget about his tooth. Jeff would rather live with the pain forever than have a drill in his mouth.

"No honey it's already pretty bad, we need to fix it today." Nick concluded Jeff's face paled at the statement. "Don't worry Jeff, it'll be simple. All I have to do is numb you a little and you won't feel a thing, I promise." Nick assured him.

Jeff started to whimper as nick reclined the chair to begin his work.

Nick turned his back to the counter to grab the supplies he needed and Jeff took that as his only opportunity. Before nick could do anything Jeff bolted up from the chair and clamored away from his husband as fast as he could. "Jeff what the-"

Jeff sprinted down the hallway ripping off his bib as he searched for a place to hide from his lover.

Nick stood abruptly from his stool and pinched the bridge of his nose. He looked on in wonder as Jeff ran through the lobby and clean out of his practice. Getting him back in the chair would be impossible now, but Nick had another idea.
