"Are you sure you can do this, P'Ohm?", Fluke asked with a frown, a look of concern taking over his face that usually carried a sweet smile."Of course, Noo! Don't worry, ok?", Ohm said, trying to look brave and carefree.
When News had scheduled the dentist appointment two weeks ago, they didn't imagine the schedule would get so tight that Ohm wouldn't have a few days off to recover after having his wisdom tooth removed.
Still, he felt his conscience wouldn't rest if he had to miss that day's interviews. Fans were excited and commenting on social media about how happy they were about the start of the promotions season for the couple's new series, "Love At 9", and he didn't want to let anyone down.
Fluke sighed heavily and reaching a hand to caress the side of his beloved's face that wasn't painful, he spoke in a warning tone, "Alright then! But if you feel uncomfortable, just say it and we'll ask P'News to bring you home, okay?"
"Okay!", Ohm agreed just to end the discussion without worrying his boyfriend, already knowing full well that he wouldn't give up so easily.
The schedule started around lunchtime and extended throughout the day, into part of the night. All of the cast were excited to finally be able to reveal to the world about their characters and share fun stories of moments they shared behind the scenes, but after so much effort, Ohm was starting to feel pain from the lack of the removed tooth.
Fluke looked several times in his boyfriend's direction trying to read his expressions, but was fooled by the other who just shook his head and gave him a calm smile as if he was feeling good.
When they finished the interviews and went out to dinner, courtesy of the great producer P'News, Fluke had more time to watch Ohm.
"P'Ohm, how's your tooth?"
"I can't feel what doesn't belong to me anymore, Noo!", Ohm made one of his infamous puns, then laughed and made Fluke give up asking. He knew all too well how stubborn his boyfriend could be, and they were about to head home anyway.
So, he would soon have the opportunity to take care of the other the way he wanted without the attention of 7 other pairs of eyes – from the cast members and their managers – who seemed to watch every gesture they made towards each other. Everyone was always ready to make jokes and teasing about how OhmFluke couldn't stay away from each other for too long. Which, in fact, was true! But it was a little uncomfortable too!

"Rest well, boys! Good night!", P'News said before starting the engine after dropping Ohm and Fluke in front of their house.
The couple soon entered the house and Ohm let slip the mask he had been wearing all day to hide his pain.
"Noooo~", he whimpered softly.
"I know, I know! Come with me, P'Ohm!", Fluke said, taking his boyfriend's huge hands in his and leading him to the bathroom.
After the two of them had showered, were in their comfortable bed, and Ohm had taken a painkiller, Fluke couldn't help but scold the other.
"P'Ohm! If you were in pain, why didn't you say so sooner?"
"Actually… I did! During the day I asked Phi News for some med to help me to endure the pain.", Ohm replied with a smirk. "Why do you think I insisted that you go in P'Bank's car instead of traveling in the van with the rest of the group?", he wiggled his brows playfully, but all he got from the smaller male was a scolding look.
Realizing he hadn't gotten any points for that, Ohm decided to appeal to Fluke's kind heart. "Nooo~! Don't be mad at me, please! I'm hurting, see?", he said pouting and pointing to the side of his face that was sore.
Fluke rolled his eyes and guided Ohm to lay his head in his lap. The taller one did as instructed, careful not to injure himself, being rewarded by his boyfriend.
Fluke handed Ohm a cold compress. The contact of the cold with the sore area brought almost instant relief, making Ohm purr happily.
"Do you feel better?"
"Yes, very much!"
"That's good, Phi!" Fluke smiled and began to comb with his fingers the boy's silky hair while he was lying on his lap. "For the record: I wasn't mad at you! Just worried that you suffered all day and I couldn't do anything about it to help!"
Ohm smiled at that confession and hooked a hand behind the back of Fluke's neck, making the boy lean forward and meet his lips in a kiss that was no more than a peck.
"I love you too, Noo!"
"Silly boy!", Fluke replied sheepishly, giving his boyfriend a light shove on the shoulder to make him lie back on his lap.
A little while later, Fluke took the ice pack from the other's hands. Ohm was dozing peacefully, finally finding relief after a tiring day. Fluke did his best to change position without waking up the other, then snuggled into the wide back, filling the big spoon spot for a change.
