"It's okay," Percy said as you held onto him. "I've got you."
"My moth hurs," you complained quietly as you climbed up the stairs with him.
"I know, love, don't worry we're almost at my mom's place."
You clung onto him as you ascended the stairs. "No more teeth," you said through the gauze.
"That's right," he said pulling out his key. "You don't have your wisdom teeth anymore."
You giggled childishly. "The Tooth Fairy's coming!"
He smiled with a nod as he led you inside. "Yes. Now you just keep this ice on your cheeks and try to get some sleep," he said setting you down on the couch.
You poked at your swollen cheeks. "Do I look like a chipmunk?" You asked looking up at him.
He chuckled. "Yes you do. But an adorable little chipmunk."
You smiled as you pulled the blanket over you. A small grumble erupted from your stomach and you frowned up at your boyfriend. "I'm hungry. Can I have some soup?"
He shook his head. "No, (y/n). The doctor said no hot foods until your third day. Right now you're on a strict cold liquid diet."
"But I want soup?" You said looking up at him with pleading eyes.
"No soup, sweetie," Sally said as she and Paul walked in from the kitchen holding a bowl of applesauce and a glass of water. "Why don't you try some applesauce?"
You hesitated but your hunger won out. "Just a little," you said with a reluctant nod.
Percy took the bowl from his mother kissing her check and sat next to you. "Okay. Take a sip of water so we can take the gauze out."
You obeyed and seconds later Sally was taking the bloody gauze to the trash.
Percy took a small spoonful of applesauce and held it out. "Open up," he coaxed.
You carefully opened your mouth and moved slowly to meet the spoon.
He slid it into your mouth and tilted it up allowing the sweet food to flow into your mouth.
You gulped it down hungrily. "Mmm."
Percy repeated that until the bowl was clean.
As you finished the rest of the sauce you looked at him with big eyes. "Please sir, may I have some more?"
He laughed and ruffled your hair. "You're such a dork." He stood up and took the bowl back to the kitchen.
You waited patiently for him to return playing with your ice and fitting the gauze back over your stitches.
He came back out with the TV's remote. "So I know that you're supposed to be sleeping, but I think we both know you won't. So I've asked my mom to hook up our old Nintendo so we can play. "

Your eyes lit up. "Super Mario Bros 3?!"
He nodded as he handed you one of the wired controllers. "Bought it just for you."
You threw your arms around him in a giant hug. "Thank you thank you thank you! You're the best boyfriend ever!"
He grinned as he started the game.
As the theme song played out Paul popped his head in.
"Is that Super Mario I hear?" He asked eagerly.
Percy nodded. "You know it."
"Oh I used to love this game when I was your age," he said sitting on your other side. "Mind if I watch?"
"Not at all," you said scooting over.
He watched the screen dropping hints secretly to you about what to do and what not to do. "You'll get a flute there," he said pointing to one of the boxes.
As you hit it Percy groaned
"Come on Paul! That's not fair!"
"It is perfectly fair. After all she just got her teeth taken out."
You yawned slightly. "I'm a bit tired. Here you are Paul," you said handing him the controller.
He nodded and took it from you playing as you.
You rested your head on Percy's shoulder as you slowly drifted off.
Paul looked at Percy as your head slumped forward. "You better get her to bed," he said pausing the game. "Her head needs to be above her heart and her legs need to be elevated.
Percy nodded as he tossed his controller to the side picking you up. He held you close as he carried you off to his room where he had previously propped up the pillows and added a couple at the door of the bed. He gently set you down on the bed pulling the sheets over you. He placed a gentle kiss on your fore head as he smiled down. "Sleep tight, love," he said as he left the room ready to beat Paul at Super Mario Bros 3.
*** Well like others this one has a ring of truth to it. I just got all four wisdom teeth removed and I will say this that my mouth hurts. And it sucks not being able to eat anything. Right now I'm craving soup and a Big Mac but I've been denied for at least another two days to give the stitches time to heal. This sucks.
And yes we do have an old Nintendo console which my parents dragged out last night Only my dad was playing Super Mario Bros 3 instead of Percy and Paul. But it's still fun to watch.
Are any of you getting your teeth out soon? Yes no maybe so? If so I can relate with you.
I hope you enjoyed Wisdom Teeth and if you did please vote and comment and I'll see you in the next chapter.
