As you would expect from two boys in love they were nearly allways late for class an dit was nearly the same two boys who were in detention afterwards. This day was no exception and they spent time after school doing the most menial or repulsive chores the duty master could find.This particular day it was sorting out the gym pound.The last resting place of many boys gym shorts, socks and occasional underpants.They did iti silence not because they had been instructed to but because they only had 24 hours before they got their head gears .It was a time where they were silently contemplating life as a metal mouth with no reprieve in sight the hours went by all to quickly.
"I wonder who owns these "said Keith a she held up a pair of small whiteys. Judging by the size it wasn't a large boy so the First XV could be ruled out.
"Probably a Year 7 or 8 judging by the stains and their colour a boy who has only started to cum or is just learning about it"said Jason.
"Do you remember when you first found out you liked boys Jason and not girls.that your brain was sort of hard wired to boys and nothing can change that?"Keith inquired.
"Yes I do and I saw you from a long way away and thought wow what a hottie!"
"I'm blushing "said Keith and with that he gave Jason a loving kiss.
"We had better get a move on if we are going to finish this before the holidays in a month's time"Keith was under no illusion though he knew that tomorrow would bring new problems for him and Jason but he knew they could get over anything..
The next day dawned as it had the day before and before that but Keith was apprehensive about this day more than ever because today was the day that he and Jason get put behind bars (get their head gears!)
Keith was the first appointment with Jason behind him.Keith was a bit scared he didn't know why just was.The Ortho sat him down and tried to do the 'it's better we do this now rather than later' routine and Keith just gave him the 'who do you think you are kidding" look so the Ortho just got on with it.which was best for everyone because noone was kidding any one!
"Ok Keith let's have a look at your impressions "at least he was trying gotta give him 10 points for effort.
"When we last met I told you I may have to give you a high pull head gear to give you teeth a bit more force on them I am afraid I will have to do that and you will have to wear it for 16 hours a day for at least 6 - 9 months and if you try and defeat it you will have to have it wired in ..that will mean you will be excused from sports , I will give you a waterproof cap to wear so you can swim of sorts obviously no competitive swimming "This was like cutting Keith off at the legs because his swimming was like his life blood one of the things he was good at but one of the things it DIDN'T stop him doing that he was reasonably good at now was making out with his boyfriend ..this would be one of his few pleasures now and he was going to relish it..The facebow was in place and the cap was on Keith's head he felt like an A-Grade geek how will Jason look and what will he say when he sees Keith.
Jason was waiting outside in the reception area when Keith cam out. Keith needed all his strength to prevent a flood of tears.Jason saw him and went up to him and told him he was next and to wait because they were in this together.This gave Keith confidence and he gave Jason a small hug the sat down after the assistant had taken him to the smaller room to learn how to put the headgear on and take it off.
Jason was in a similar frame of mind. He had to have a double facebow but only for 12hours per day..He was nearly traumatised nearly but he knew the love of his life would be there come hell or high water.
Jason virtually ran out of the office after he learned how to manage his headgear straight out into the street without wearing his head gear his 12 hours didn't start until later he said to the Ortho who reminded him what happens to boys who don't wear their headgear..they get it permanently wired in!
Jason saw Keith hiding in the bus shelter and went up to him and told him they would never be apart it would take alot more than head gears to keep them apart with this Keith could have cried but he thought he shouldn't so he just grasped Jason's hand. lovingly.And being young boys they didn't make much of a effort to hurry back to school they would rather go up to "their place" in the bush and explore each other and each other's orthodontic appliance. That would keep them for the early part of the afternoon session of school and the next episode of the story... A word to the archivist it is ook to put "Love in the Orthodontist Room" under my name now as it is part of my creation..THANKS !
