Holiday Request Ficlet #17: The Tools of Man

Title: The Tools of Man
Author: viciouswishes
For: spartacusjones
Fandom: X-Men Movieverse
Pairing: none, Nightcrawler
Rating: G
Prompt: Nightcrawler, dentist
Words: 161
Summary: As a child, the noise from the dentist's tools never frightened Kurt.

As a child, the noise from the dentist's tools never frightened Kurt. He would sit there and be thankful that someone was willing to look at his teeth. When he looks back, Kurt considers that these dentists were either mutants themselves or paid too much for their silence.

But since being under Stryker's control, Kurt does not trust the tools of man. And the squeal from the dentist's chair reminds him too much of chains and machinery and secret compounds deep under the snow.

Kurt doesn't mourn for Jean the way that Scott and Logan do, but he does wish she were the one giving him his exam. He longs for someone that beautiful, even if he knew her secret, to bandage his arm and check his surely broken teeth. To watch the space where her red hair meets her cheekbone. However, today he must trust a Dr. McCoy and his large furred hands that are the same shade as Kurt's.

I thought it couldn't be done. I was proven wrong. Go Nightcrawler!

Hate to say it, but your request wasn't the most challenging. That would be between [livejournal.com profile] amaresu (Wolverine, hugs) and [livejournal.com profile] cupiecake (House, crying over a kitten).

You're welcome. *g*

Very nice fic!

And love the icon. I'm a huge Emma fan (thing for bad girls).

Oh, that was great! Especially the last paragraph, with him wishing for Jean.
