Damage tooth, discussion of teeth whitening!
***
Onoda looked around the dentist's waiting room curiously, keeping his hand tucked into Midousuji's for comfort. Midousuji had been so distraught about the broken tooth that Onoda had been the one to make the appointment for him because Midousuji wouldn't stop worrying long enough to talk.
"How often do you come here for whitening treatments?" He asked, studying a poster on the wall that promised 'teeth as white as Hollywood stars'.
Midousuji kept his hand raised over his mouth when he responded, speaking in a low mumble, "Four times a year."
"Do you think the whitening treatments could be weakening your teeth?" Onoda asked with a worried scrunch of his nose. "They scrape away the stained top layers, right? Maybe they scraped so far that the foundation of your teeth was weakened."
A woman who'd been sitting nearby enough to hear that theory suddenly got up and left. Onoda didn't notice.
Midousuji frowned, his eyes crinkling up as his eyebrows drew together and then he shrugged. Even since his tooth broke, he'd been doing as little talking as possible in order not to stress his other teeth.
"We should ask the dentist about that," Onoda decided. "If he says it's not a good idea to whiten them so often or that you should stop whitening them, we'll do other things! I heard that people used to rub their teeth with charcoal in the old days. If we get a few sticks from art stores, it'll be just like using a toothbrush - only black."
Midousuji made a groaning sound, his eyebrows now rising skeptically at Onoda. Onoda prompted pulled out his phone with his free hand and typed in 'brush teeth charcoal'. The best way to make Midousuji stop with that face was to show him proof! While Midousuji might doubt Onoda’s information, he had enough respect for doctors that if there were actual medical articles or historical articles about the topic, he’d believe Onoda then.
"See?" He said brightly, showing Midousuji the lists of articles. "You can whiten your teeth with charcoal. And the dentist will fix your tooth so you'll still have a wonderful smile too."
Midousuji's grasp on Onoda's hand relaxed slightly so Onoda leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
"I would love you even if you had no teeth at all," he said sincerely.
Oops. Wrong move. Now Midousuji was holding on tighter than ever!
