Ten Times A Day Don't Keep The Dentist Away... [Prince of Tennis: Oishi/Eiji]
title: Ten Times A Day Don't Keep The Dentist Away...
fandom: Prince of Tennis
pairing: Golden Pair; Oishi/Eiji.
challenge: From vacivity: And I want one of them being afraid to go to the dentist! Maybe Eiji. (It can explain his obsessiveness about brushing his teeth.) He gets a cavity and Oishi someone has to convince him to go to the dentist? Or something. It doesn't have to be him, of course.
notes: Sickfic! Featuring Fuji. 1015 words.

They are losing, and Oishi can't help noticing Eiji flinches with every step he takes, until it gets to the point where he steps one step too hard and too many and, "OUCH!"
"Eiji? What, what have you done?!" Osihi cries, running over. Eiji is clutching at his mouth with one hand.
"I, uh, nyah, nothing Oishi!" Eiji says, attempting a grin. "I uhm, bit my tongue!"
"Hmmm..." Oishi says. "Okay, but don't let it put you off your game, or we're going to lose!"
"Us? The Golden Pair, lose?" Eiji grinned. "Don't be silly, Oishi!"
They win, just barely, but Oishi knows it could have been a much more dominating match, and it's because of Eiji; something is up and he's not telling. He attempts to follow Eiji into the locker room to find out what's wrong, but he feels a hand on his shoulder, stopping him.
"Wait." Fuji says. "Let him think he is alone."
They both peer in through the window, ducking as Eiji glances around to make sure no-one is nearby. He runs over to the mirror and pulls comically at his mouth, trying to see inside.
"This damn tooth!" He whines dramatically. "It HURTS!"
He looks around again, and notices a ball of string used mostly for quick repairs. He cuts off a length and knots it to the door handle, before checking again to make sure no-one is watching, and is about the tie it to his tooth...
"I can't let him do that!" Oishi hisses with concern. Fuji nods.
"Let's go inside, quickly." He says. "Follow my lead."
Oishi follows Fuji in, and Eiji quickly hides the string behind his back.
"Eiji, you guys won!" Fuji says happily. "Let's all celebrate! Let's get ice cream."
"Oooo, ice cream..." Eiji says, trying to sound excited, but only thinking how much that will hurt his tooth. "I mean, yay, yummy!"
Oishi glances at Fuji, but he's wearing his 'just trust me' face. The three of them grab their kit bags and go, but Oishi soon realises they're heading in the wrong direction. And Eiji does too.
"Hey, this isn't the way to the ice cream parlour!" He cries, his face turning suspicious. "Where are we going, Fujiko?"
Oishi thinks to himself, if this was your plan Fuji, it wasn't up to your usual standards. Fuji just sighs.
"Oh Eiji, you caught me." He says. "I was going to take you to that new place, Triples, where they do everything times three. Triple Chocolate with chocolate flakes and sauce, Triple Strawberry with chunks of strawberry and strawberry sauce, Triple Mint with crunchy mint pieces and..."
"Not mint sauce I hope!" Eiji says, pulling an awful face. Fuji laughs.
"No, but my secret is out!" He replies. "At least pretend to be surprised when we get there!"
When they get there, Eiji is surprised. He has only heard of the new parlour, never seen it, but it looks like a rather plain building to him. But he can see people inside eating ice cream, so he figures it is okay.
"Come on, it's the upstairs that is really great." Fuji says, heading up, Eiji following hurriedly. "They haven't finished the downstairs yet."
Eiji didn't know ice cream parlours could have an upstairs, but figures that just means more ice cream. And then he goes inside, and sees a waiting room. He smells that nasty clinical smell. And notices posters of teeth on the wall.
Oh no. A DENTIST'S SURGERY.
"Kikumaru Eiji?" The man in the white coat says with a smile. "We've been waiting for you."
"Huh, how, what? Nyah!" Eiji squeals, trying to turn away, but Fuji's grip is tight.
"I called ahead." He confirms. "Brushing your teeth ten times a day is not enough to keep you from here forever, Eiji."
"No!" Eiji screams, and flails wildly, trying to get out of Fuji's grip.
"Fuji!" Oishi says, grabbing Eiji's other arm to assist Fuji, and grimacing because he knows Eiji is so scared. "Eiji, it's for your own good! Please!"
"You guys hate meeeee!" Eiji wails. "Else you'd never bring me here!"
They wedge him into the dentist's chair, holding him down by putting their weight on an arm and a leg each, on either side of him.
"Sorry about this." Fuji apologises to the dentist. "He's uh, a little nervous."
"A little nervous?" Eiji squeaks. "A little nervous?!"
"Okay, a lot." Oishi stammers. "And terrified."
"Don't you want your tooth to stop hurting?" The dentist asks. "Just open up and I'll soon sort it all out. You won't feel a thing."
"That's so untrue!"
"Eiji!" Oishi says, going pink in the cheeks. "Don't be rude!"
"Don't worry about him," the dentist said cherrily enough, "I've had worse patients. Now if you'll just open wide..." Fuji smirked as he saw the dentist pull out some terrible-looking instrument that had obviously never been used and was there for show; all pointy bits and angles and poking. He certainly knew how to get back at his patients.
"Eiji!" Oishi said again, eyes widening as he saw Eiji faint where he sat in the chair. Fuji laughed aloud.
"Well, now he won't be a worry anymore."
The dentist went about his job as though it were perfectly normal for Eiji to be unconscious in the chair, and had almost removed the tooth when Eiji finally came to. Unfortunately he came to and began flailing, knocking both Oishi and Fuji backwards. As he tried to get up, his tooth came out with an unearthly popping noise, and Eiji almost threw up on the clean floor.
"Oh, that's so much better!" He said happily, putting a hand to his cheek. "It's a little sore, but the PAIN is gone! Let's have ice cream!"
"Okay Eiji," Fuji said, "but you're paying."
"Huh, wha?"
"Yes, I agree." Oishi said, rubbing his eye. "I think I'm going to get a bruise."
"And my jaw doesn't feel like it's in the right place." Fuji added. "Next time watch where you're throwing your arms about!"
"Oh, oops?" Eiji said sheepishly. And proceeded to buy them both Triple servings ;)
