Hope you are all well! Much love!
All of the boys were dating, and it was no secret that Liam and Niall were not fans of the dentist at all. They had to take Niall monthly which was always a hard task, but now they were having to take Liam as well, because they had found out he needed braces a few weeks prior at their checkups. Ever since Liam heard the words "you need braces," he hadn't stopped worrying. Getting braces was the only thing that consumed his thoughts lately, because he was so afraid. "Li, I know you are afraid, but you have to come out of the bathroom," Harry said as he stood outside their bathroom door. "No," Liam said sounding similar to a small child. Harry, Zayn, and Louis had all split ways to wrangle both of the boys to the car, but that had proven to be a harder feat than they had expected. "Liam, seriously, we are going to be late," Harry said getting frustrated. "Good, then I won't have to get braces!" Liam sassed from the other side of the door, and Harry sighed. "Fine, have it your way. We will just have the dentist come to us," Harry said knowing it would make Liam give in and come out of the bathroom. "They do that?" Liam asked cracking the door open, and sticking his head out. "No," Harry said sticking his foot in the door before Liam could shut it back, and Liam knew he had fallen for a Harry's trick. "Sometimes they can do house calls though. Just depends on the dentist," Harry said after pulling Liam into a hug. "I promise, we will be right there with you the whole time. You're going to do just fine," Harry said kissing Liam on the nose. "Look at Niall, he's worse afraid than you are, and he's perfectly fine after getting his," Harry said and right about that time they heard Niall come busting into the room, and Louis following right on his tracks. "Come here you little Irishman!" Louis said as Niall slipped Louis' grip and ran down the hall. "Well...mostly okay," Harry laughed and that made Liam feel a little better. "That boy sure is fast," Louis said hunkering over to catch his breath. "Caught him," Zayn said walking past the door holding Niall bridal style, and Niall had finally given up as they all went to the car.
The ride felt too quick, and before they knew it, they were all sat in the waiting room of the dentist office. "I hate this," Liam said as he shifted nervously in his chair. "I know, but it won't take long, and think about it. You're going to be so happy with the end result," Zayn encouraged as he wrapped an arm around Liam's shoulders. "You're right," Liam said but his nerves skyrocketed again when the door opened. "Liam and Niall?" the dental assistant said. "Ugh," Niall sounded before standing up, and following Louis and Harry to the door. "You've got this!" Zayn reassured and Liam nodded before going back with the group. "Okay, boys! So, we will start with Niall since he will be quick," she smiled as she led them to the first room. "I hate this so much," Niall said as he sat in the chair. "It's literally the same thing every time. It hurts and I'm sore, and it's just awful," Niall continued to gripe as the dental assistant laughed to herself, and grabbed the stuff to take his X-rays. While listening to Niall, Liam's heart started to pound even more. "It's okay, Li. It's just a little sore for a couple of days," Louis comforted noticing that Liam had whimpered at Niall's words. "Sorry, Li," Niall said as the dental assistant took his X-rays, and left the room for the dentist to come in. Niall's hands were shaking, and Zayn moved to sit next to Niall's seat. "You're okay," Harry smiled at Niall, and sat a hand on his shaking leg. "You're just a few months from being done with all of this," Louis reminded him as he held Liam in his arms.
A few seconds later, the dentist came walking in with a huge smile. "Hey boys! How are you?" he asked as he plopped Niall's file down on the counter, and started flipping through his x-rays. "We are good. Nervous as usual," Harry explained with a chuckle. "Well, everything is looking great if it's any consolation! If everything keeps progressing like it is now, you'll have those braces off after a few more visits," the dentist explained as he slipped on some gloves. "That's good news, Nialler," Zayn smiled and Niall nodded nervously as he watched the dentist grabbing the tools. "I'm just going to take a look first, and then I'll get on with the changing. Fifteen minutes and you'll be done," the dentist said and Niall looked at the boys frantically. "You're alright," they reassured and all made a move to get to where they could comfort Niall, even Liam who was in desperate need of comfort himself. "Okay, Niall. Just open for me," the dentist said and Niall did as he was told. "Good!" he said as he looked around quickly. "Great! Time to change the wire," the dentist said taking off his old rubber bands and wire, and when he went to put the tighter wire, Niall squeezed Zayn's hand and Zayn rubbed his thumb over his knuckles. "Mmph," Niall sounded at the tightness in the wire. "Almost done, mate," the dentist said before putting the last rubber band on. "Great job! Now, it's going to be sore as usual for the next few days. Just take some medicine, and the pain should go away. You can also use an ice pack if you need, you know the drill," the dentist smiled as he sat Niall's seat up. "Thanks doc," Niall said and rubbing his already sore cheek. "Alright! We will take you on back to the other room now Liam," the dentist said and Liam gulped.
"Okay, just follow me," he said and all of the boys walked to the other room down the hall. "Take a seat for me," the dentist instructed knowing that Liam was extremely nervous. "Okay, I'm just going to review your files and stuff," the dentist said while Liam tried to get comfy in the chair. "Are you sure we can't do it another day?" Liam asked and Harry shook his head. "You won't do it if we wait another day. We might as well get it over with now," Louis added. "They're right," Zayn said rubbing Liam's shoulder. "But Niall said it's awful!" Liam argued and Niall shook his head. "It's not that bad, Li. Getting them on is a piece of cake, they are just sore after. You know I just don't like the dentist, I always get nervous," Niall reassured Liam, and they all moved to put a hand on him. "Okay, everything looks ready to go. What I'm going to do is put this cheek retractor in, and then I'll clean your teeth really good. I'm going to put your brackets on with some glue and make sure they're nice and secure, then I'll put a wire on and rubber bands," the dentist said and Liam nodded and opened his mouth nervously. The dentist explained everything he was doing as he went along. "You're doing great, Li!" Louis told him halfway through. He could tell Liam was uncomfortable, and rubbed his knee to try and get his mind off what was going on. "You are almost done," the dentist said. "Okay!" the dentist said sitting Liam up, and handing him a mirror. Liam inspected the new gadgets in his mouth, and nodded in approval after a second. "Okay! So, here are all of your care instructions. Niall can also been of assistance too. They'll be sore for a bit, but you'll be good to go after a few days! I'll see you both in a month," the dentist said as they left the force. They were happy that it was finally time to take their two sore boyfriends home.
After the short car ride home, Liam and Niall both laid down on the living room couches. "How are y'all doing?" Harry asked they had both taken a small nap. "I'm sore," Niall said and Liam nodded as he rubbed a hand over his throbbing head. "Let's get you two some medicine," Harry said and ran to the kitchen to get them something to get rid of the pain they were dealing with. "Thanks," Niall and Liam said as they both settled back into their places on the couch. "We made you two some soup," Louis said as he and Zayn carried them in bowls. "It'll make you feel better," Zayn added. "Thank you," Niall and Liam said and the boys helped the two tired and sore boys eat. The next few days, the boys waited on Liam and Niall hand and foot, and within no time they were back to normal.
