Summary
Only somewhere around the fifth date, Xisuma casually admitted, over dinner that he was studying dentistry.
Keralis remembered staring at him."Dentistry?"
Xisuma had blinked. "Yeah."
"You mean... becoming a dentist?"
"...That's generally how dental school works."
If Xisuma had mentioned it on the first date, Keralis was almost certain there never would have been a second.
or
For thirteen years, Keralis has successfully kept one part of his husband's life at arm's length.
He's never visited Xisuma's clinic. Never met his coworkers. Never stepped foot inside the world of dentistry if he could possibly help it.But luck has a habit of running out.
Avoiding dentists has always been easier than confronting why he can't stand them, and Xisuma has never pushed. But as Keralis keeps finding himself surrounded by the very people he's spent years avoiding, he discovers that marrying a dentist does not, unfortunately, exempt him from ever needing one.
