[ It felt like much of the Hunting Dogs lives revolved around doctors, and so Jouno preferred to avoid visiting them unless it was for his required surgery. Having to go to an impromptu appointment because something was wrong had left him in a sour mood for most of the day. Tetcho overreacting to the news hadn't helped either, but in hindsight, Jouno knows he should have kept it to himself until he knew more.

It's no wonder his blood pressure is up, really.

He knocks on the door to Takemi's office before opening it and taking a careful step inside. ]

Doctor, I'm here.

[ His nose is wrinkled slightly. He hates the hospital wing. The smells of anti-septic are always overwhelming. ]

Then you must know how your men feel. [how does it feel like to be on the other end of the power dynamic,huh?

Takemi measures a proper dose and fills a new syringe with the medicine.]

Maybe your body is telling that you have a crush on me, then? Fast heartbeat, higher blood pressure and low oxygen levels in the brain could all be sign of agitation.

Now this will pinch. [The needle she's using is thicker than the previous one and goes much deeper. She slowly injects him with the drug and once she's done she quickly wipes the spot clean before placing a bandaid on it.]

With a normal person this should cause nausea and strong dizziness. I have a faith in your body but if you happen to feel any of the mentioned side effects please inform me.

[pricelesstears]

You're not my commander.

[ But he does unfortunately have to listen to her. Even as she makes such off-color jokes. Wrinkling his nose in disgust, he forces a smile. ]

Sorry to disappoint, but I'm afraid you're not my type. [ She's too smart, for one. ]

Ow! [ Even with the warning, he whines this time, waiting until she's put a bandaid on the spot before covering it with his hand. ]

You're poisoning me, aren't you?

[the_plague]

That so? My poor heart. [She hums, enjoying a little his the reaction. It's not often you get to see a Hunting Dog in such position.]

Ah. You've caught on, I see. A little revenge for rejecting me.

[pricelesstears]

You'll have to try for one of the other soldiers. You might have better luck with one of the one's interested in women.

[ He rolls his sleeve back down once more. ]

When will the bloodwork be back?

[the_plague]

So someone like adorable Tachihara? [lol ok, now she's just messing with him but she's also interested in his reaction]

You are our top priority so I'd say the results should be back in two days.

[pricelesstears]

I did tell him women were a perk of the military back when we were recruiting him. Maybe you'll convince him to forget the Port Mafia. [ Even as a joke, it's clear that Tachihara's loyalty to the mafia is still on Jouno's mind. ]

Good. Let me know as soon as they come in. I made the mistake of mentioning this to Tetcho-san.

[ Which means his boyfriend is worrying to an annoying degree. ]

[the_plague]

Women do love men in uniform. Who knows, it could be refreshing to have a younger lover. [she loves some delinquent youth.]

Of course. [For once she wishes he hadn't told Tetcho. She really doesn't want it to spread that one of her patient's health was failing. She discards the syringe and walks back to the door. But before unlocking it she gives him a more serious look.]

You understand to keep all of this between us, correct?

[pricelesstears]

The Hunting Dogs do have superior stamina. [ Stop trying to sell Tachihara, Jouno, pls.

He stands up, putting his coat back on and fastening the clasps. ]

It can be our little secret.

[ Well, assuming Tetcho hadn't flipped out and told Tachihara already. Jouno much prefers to keep his private life private, and a health issue could jeopardize far too much for him. ]

[the_plague]

Trust me. I know everything about your physical prowess and other qualities. [she sees you guys naked every month after all.]

Excellent. I hope to see you back here next week for the follow up. Do not hesitate call me if you start feeling strange.

[pricelesstears]

How disconcerting. [ He doesn't seem too bothered by it, though. ]

Alright. I'll see you then, Doctor.
