For the past 10 minutes Gavin has watched as Damien unsuccessfully tried to apply the numbing cream the doctor had given them for Lasko's gums. The air elemental was more or less awake now, however per the anesthetic effects, he was having trouble with his motor skills and awareness. Leading him to be adorably groggy and surprisingly combative to having fingers in his mouth. 

“Hm-hm”, Lasko hummed as he pressed his lips together and moved his head to avoid Damien's insistent fingers.

“Give him a break Wildfire, Lasky gets overwhelmed easily”, Gavin called from his spot in one of the chairs near the hospital room’s door. They had come as moral support for Lasko’s wisdom teeth removal appointment. Lasko had been freaking out over it all week, so Freelancer, as sweet as they are, suggested he bring company.

As it turns out only himself and Damien were available on the dreaded appointment day, and as it were they both loved Lasko too much to say no. 

“The doctor said to apply this after 30 minutes…It's been 40 minutes”

“But I don’t want to, my mouth hurts”, Lasko whined from the hospital bed. Shiny tears building up in those pretty eyes. 

“It hurts because you didn’t put the cream on when you were supposed to”, the fire elemental said, exasperated. 

“But-”

Damien let out a frustrated sigh, as he griped Lasko's face forcing him to stay still and  lifted his cream covered fingers in front of his lips once more, “I’m not going to tell again. Open your mouth.”

Lasko met Damien’s intense gaze. The cocktail of energies the interaction had produced was delicious. Frustration and determination from Damien, and from Lasko? 

Well lets say that if Gavin was in Damien's position he would no doubt take note of his likely blown pupils and wanton expression, as well as the very visible, even to him, heat that was crawling up his neck.

Finally, Lasko’s face split into a bashful smile and with flushed cheeks he said, “okay”.

Damien's mouth damn near fell open, “oh my god, you absolute freak”.

The fire elemental resolutely shoved his fingers into the now waiting mouth of said freak. Gavin couldn't help his amusement at the scene in front of him from spilling out any longer, “I’m glad that at least your love for being handled is intact”.

“Oh I’m sure Dear will be glad to hear that”, Damien huffed despite the pink coloring his of own cheeks and the heat emanating from his aura.
