Hope you are well! Much love!
There was nothing Niall hated more than having to get his braces tightened. He was terrified of the orthodontist, and he absolutely hated the atmosphere. "Hey Ni, it's time to go," Liam said as he walked into their shared bedroom. Niall slipped on his tennis shoes as he looked up at Liam, and gave him a look of disgust which caused Liam to chuckle. "I know you don't like it, but just think, it'll all be over soon, and you'll have gotten a perfect smile out of all of it!" Liam reminded Niall. "You're right...but I'm still not happy about it," Niall said with a soft smirk. "I know, but I'll be with you the whole time," Liam said as he smiled at his boyfriend. "Thank you, Li," Niall said as he gave him a kiss on the nose, and they went out to the car.
After Liam and Niall got checked in, Niall sat in the waiting room and looked through an outdated magazine to get his mind off everything. It worked momentarily, but Niall felt the butterflies return to his stomach the moment the assistant walked through the door, and called his name. "Niall?" she smiled as she looked in the room. Liam stood and Niall stood hesitantly after him. "It's okay, love," Liam said noticing Niall's panic-filled eyes and shaking hands. The assistant led them down the hall to the room Niall typically went in for tightenings, and told them the orthodontist would be right in. "I really don't want to do this, Liam," Niall said completely serious as he shuffled uneasily in the dental chair. "It's okay, Niall. You've done this so many times, it'll be a piece of cake! You know it only takes a few minutes!" Liam encouraged as Niall shifted again after looking at all the tools. "I know. I should be used to it by now, but I just can't get used to it. I hate having it done," Niall said as he looked over at Liam. "Well, don't worry. I'm right here," Liam said moving close to Niall, and grabbing his hand right as Dr. Craig walked in. "Hey guys!" Dr. Craig greeted as he took a seat, and they greeted him back. "So, we will just do a quick tightening, and you'll be on your way!" he announced as he laid Niall's chair back, and adjusted the light. Niall squeezed Liam's hand, and Liam gave Niall a reassuring smile as he had him open his mouth. Niall was okay at first, but the nerves eventually took over, and he turned his mouth away from Dr. Craig. "I can't do this," Niall said as he went to sit up from the chair. "Hey, lay back down, love," Liam said as he gently pushed Niall's shoulders back down on the chair. "Focus on me," Liam said as he took Niall's hand again, and rubbed his arm with the other hand. "Liam, really, I can't do this," Niall said as he began to panic even more. "Niall, it's alright. Take a deep breath for me. Nice and slow," Liam directed as Niall finally did as he was told. "That's it, baby. Just relax," Liam said and then told the orthodontist to go ahead with the tightening. "You're doing great!" Liam said trying to keep Niall calm. "Shh, baby," Liam said as tears started to run down Niall's face as Dr. Craig put the new wire on. Liam played with Niall's hair, and gently dabbed the tears off his face. "You're doing so good," Liam said as Dr. Craig quickly put the rubber bands on over the new wire. "All done! Good job, Niall," Dr. Craig said as he sat the chair up. "Thanks," Niall said as he got up, and Liam pulled him into a hug. "See you in a month!" Liam said as they walked out the door, and Liam took Niall home to cuddle.
