The Dentist
He leaned back on the chair and rested his elbows on its arms. Patience was never his trait, and he was the last one in the waiting room. The problem was that he never liked coming to the dentist to get his teeth checked. He would keep his mouth extra clean so he could avoid coming here.
It was not only because he wasn't a fan of coming here, but also because of the man who became his dentist three years ago. He would go to another one, but he would have to go further away from him if he were to get to the next clinic. And, for some reason, the man had a way of peaking his interest.
The door opened and a woman with wine-colored hair tied into a ponytail on each side of her head peeked out. Her glasses were thick and she seemed awkward. She checked her notepad. "Ciel Phantomhive?" she asked, and he nodded. "Please come in."
Ciel stood and made his way to the door. Another person come out and went to the reception desk to pay for the treatment. Ciel followed her inside and into a smaller room, a large reclining chair with a bunch of gadgets around it. And the room was rather blue. It smelled so clean and sterilized as well. The window across the room was closed.
"Hello, Ciel," the dentist said with a slight smile, and took his face-mask off. "So, what seems to be the problem? Oh, have a seat."
"Just a checkup, Dr. Michaelis," Ciel mumbled and went to lay down on the chair. The other time, he had a tiny cavity in his back teeth that he hadn't noticed, so now he wanted to know if there were any more that he couldn't see by himself.
Sebastian put on a new pair of gloves and covered half of his face with a new face-mask. "Open up," he said, and pointed the bright light at Ciel's mouth. "Tongue out."
Ciel raised a brow briefly, but did it anyway. He jerked when the dentist held the tip of his tongue with two of his fingers. "Wha...?"
"Shh, just let me take a look," Michaelis said. Ciel could see a smile through the man's crimson eyes. The dentist then leaned closer and reached a small mouth mirror inside. "You know, you're always moving your tongue, so I have no choice but to hold it. It's quite soft, though."
He frowned weakly while the doctor began to massage his tongue with his covered fingers. What the hell was he doing? Ciel swallowed dryly and noticed Michaelis glancing at his throat. He moved his feet and hands restlessly without the doctor knowing.
Finally, the dentist moved away and placed the mouth mirror on the cabinet behind him. "Everything is perfect. You don't have to worry about anything," he said, and then perked up. "Ah, I almost forgot. Open up again."
Ciel licked his rather dry lips. He looked away quickly when he spotted Michaelis's eyes on his lips. "Okay." Sighing, Ciel opened his mouth again.
This time, the dentist didn't hold his tongue, and moved a dental explorer into Ciel's mouth. He began to inspect the spaces between the teeth. "Well, this seems fine," he said faintly, focused on what he was doing.
All of the sudden, Michaelis looked into Ciel's eyes. "Wha...?" Ciel tried to ask. What was up with those strange looks?
The dentist took the tool out as well and placed it down. He took the mask and his gloves off. "I have a feeling that you don't like me that much."
"Where is that coming from, doctor?" Ciel asked, and licked his dry lips again.
"Please, just call me Sebastian," Michaelis said. He wouldn't make eye contact with Ciel this time. "Anyway, I've been your dentist for a while now, and I thought that you would get the message."
Ciel tilted his head in curiosity. "About what?"
Sebastian shrugged. "About the way I look at you, of course," he replied. "Are you that oblivious? And don't tell me that it's not the same for you. I can see your reactions to the hints I give you. Your body notices, but your mind doesn't seem to do the same. I'll just have to be more clear."
"What are you say—?" Ciel was cut off when Sebastian leaned down and pressed a kiss to his lips. He widened his eyes. The man was close to him, his crimson eyes closed, and his soft lips pressing hard against his own. He could feel Sebastian's nearly frantic breathing brushing against his skin, the side bangs of his black hair touching his cheeks lightly. And with this closeness, he could smell the faint scent of fresh cologne.
"Do you get it now?" Sebastian asked against Ciel's lips, his eyes on Ciel's. "There's no one else outside for consultation. Wait for me to get ready to leave."
He stared up at Sebastian. He couldn't help but nod.
Please leave a review on what you think of this so I know if I should continue or not. Thank you for reading!
