Gel sneaks into Rhino's room once more, giggling softly to herself. I can't wait to see his reaction... She stands in front of him, her hindlegs twitching a bit. ...I know he doesn't want to do...that...but that doesn't mean I can't tease him a bit... She turns to the side and brushes her tail over his nose, smirking a bit. Her new journal floats next to her, a pen poised to record his reaction.
Rhino's nose twitches as the tail hairs drift across his muzzle. He sniffs as a hoof lazily comes up and swipes the air in front of him. His nose however, keeps sniffing at the small scent that comes from the tail.
She nods silently, writing in her journal. The sensation of my tail against his nose causes the expected reaction of a hoof trying to brush it away. He's sniffing the air, though, so that might be good... She moves herself closer to him, carefully bringing a section closer to the base of her tail near his muzzle.
As the source of the smell moves closer to his nose, his whole head tilts to get a better angle to smell it. His nose lightly burrow into her tail, ever searching. Finally, his mouth opens partially and grabs her tail, lightly tugging on it before letting go as he returns to sniffing.
She covers her mouth with a hoof, trying to muffle her squeak as he tugs her tail. ...h-he seems to be attracted to my scent...definitely a good thing... She takes a half-step back, watching him over her shoulder. Now for a final test... She lifts her tail, laying it on her back so her treasure is exposed to him, mere inches from his snout. She gently bites her lip, realizing that his actions had caused her to become a little more wet. I just had to get even more aroused, didn't I? She sighs softly, shaking her head. ...I'm gonna need a cold shower after this...
As if sensing the source of the smell, the stallion takes a single large sniff, the hormones in the smell doing their job. Suddenly, he closes in and sticks his tongue out, taking a quick lick of the source.
She sharply gasps, thrown from her thoughts by the action. She blushes brightly, realizing what just happened. ...oh my...I-I didn't expect that... She starts to shuffle her hooves nervously. ...I-I don't know if he'd be happy about this...I-I should end this before it goes too far... She takes a step away, trying to lower her tail. To her dismay, her tail refuses to budge, staying up in the air. ...of course it won't lower...great...
Rhino's nose has started up again, seeking out the smell that has become faint. He lets out a grunt as he stretches his neck off the bed and towards the mare. He pushes past the point of no return, causing his body to flop out of the bed, his head hitting the carpet with a muffled thump. A groan comes from his now rapidly awakening form as it lays on its side.
She squeaks in shock, quickly fretting over his prone form. "R-Rhino! O-oh my goodness!" She gingerly lifts up his head and moves behind him, effectively resting his head on her lap. "H-how badly are you hurt?" I can't believe that just happened! I need to be more careful around him!
His eyes slowly open as he smacks his lips. He looks around a moment before seeing her above him. He gives her a small smile. "Good morning, beautiful."
She sighs softly, glad he's not hurt too badly. "...good morning, Rhino...d-did you have a nice dream?"
He rolls his tongue around in his mouth before responding. "I... don't really know... Must have been some dream though, for me to end up on the floor. It does have better company than I expected though..."
She tilts her head to the side, confused. "...thank you, but...why are you doing that thing with your tongue?"
He shrugs. "This just seems to be one of those mornings where you wake up with a strong taste on your tongue. I can never identify it, but this one tastes much better than usual..."
She blushes brightly, quickly turning her gaze to the bed. "...t-that's interesting..." He likes my taste. I can't even...I don't think I should tell him what it is...he'd probably freak out... She takes his sleeping pillow in her magic, placing it under his head and moving next to him. "...y-you might want to be careful...you fell out of bed and hit your head..."
He lets out a quiet laugh. "Look at you and your rhyming." He puts a hoof to his head. "I feel fine... just a small headache." He shifts deeper into his pillow before reaching out and bringing her down next to him. He closes his eyes and snuggles up against her, almost like he is going back to sleep.
She squeaks once more, positively glowing with her blush, now. "...i-if you're sure..." ...well, this position is uncomfortable...I can't move my hindlegs, and my rump is sticking up in the air. She stay like this for a while, unable to pull away without disturbing him, before speaking up. "...R-Rhino? I-I know this might be odd, but...m-may I accompany you to work?" There we go, a plausible reason to be in his room so early - wanting to ask before he's getting to leave. She smiles softly at him, even through her embarrassment.
He cracks his eyes back open again. "Right... work..." He lets her go as he yawns. "Sure... you can come along if you want... should be fun..." He groggily gets to his hooves as he staggers towards the bathroom. "Should get ready..."
She squeals in joy, leaping forward and happily hugging him. "Thank you! Oh, I should go get ready, too!" And take a cold shower. I'm still aroused... She brushes her tail against his back as she rushes past him and down the stairs to the other bathroom.
***
They arrive at the clinic, Rhino checking his watch as they do so. "Good thing we left early, it took an extra ten minutes to get here." He quickly looks to her. "And before you apologize for that, I expected it to happen and it's fine. It's just the result of our different travel methods."
She nods quietly, looking up at the building. "Y-yeah, I guess." She bumps his side with hers, giggling softly. "Can't exactly do that spell of yours, can I?" ...so this is where he works...it looks nice, in all honesty...did they have some work done on it? She steps forward and pushes on the door. Let's see the inside, shall we?
Inside is a fairly normal waiting room/lobby. Smooth lighting, comfy chairs, central desk at the other end, the whole nine yards. Pictures of various pets and different species of Equestria dot the walls, most are simple pictures, but some are more anatomical in nature. Rhino flicks on the rest of the lights as they enter, strolling towards the hallway next to the desk. "I just need to get my stuff from my office and we'll be all set."
Gel blinks, following quickly behind him, curious. "What stuff, if I may ask?" She glances at a picture of a Minotaur's skeletal system as they passed, surprised at the detail. ...I know they tend to more than just pets here, but I didn't expect that... She lowers her head, deep in thought. ...do they ever take care of changelings? I don't remember hearing anything about that, if they did...
He takes out a key and unlocks a door, revealing a fair sized office. It too looks fairly normal, though it shows that its owner has not had it long due to the small amount of personal touches present. In fact, the only thing showing that this is his office is the plaque on the desk and the degree on the wall. "Oh you know, mostly the uniform, stethoscope, and the few things I keep in my pockets." He deposits his bags behind the desk and takes a pristine white coat off a stand on the corner, slipping it on. A few items float from the shelf beside it and into his pockets as a stethoscope drapes over his neck. Finally, a small book levitates from inside his bags to one of the larger pockets of his coat.
She stares at him for a few moments, blushing softly. ...r-right...a vet is an animal doctor... She gulps, giving him a nervous smile. "...y-you look good in that..." She bites her lip, carefully tucking her tail between her legs. ...I just had to have a thing for doctors, didn't I?
He smiles. "Thanks, it's nice for you to finally see my uniform after I've had the privilege of seeing you in yours so much." He winks as he opens the door and holds it open. "After you."
She silently nods, quickly rushing past him and out into the hall. I'd say something back, but my tongue is pretty much tied up at the moment... She walks ahead of him back down to the lobby, unconsciously swaying her hips with each step. ...I have to figure out a way around this...mental barrier...I can't just stay silent every time I see him like this...
He catches up and bumps her lightly with his side as he passes her. As he sits down he motions around them. "That was pretty much most of the tour right there. he only other place I could show you would be the examination room. The other few rooms are off-limits."
She nods, glancing at him before quickly turning away, her blush flaring up once more as she barely squeaks out an answer. "...o-okay..." She looks back at the hallway, wondering for a moment what the exam room is like. Probably sterile and warm at the same time. Need to make sure pets are healthy and calm, after all. She sighs softly, pulling out her journal and writing down everything she just learned into it.
Rhino smiles as he sees her write. He takes out his own book and sets it on the desk before settling in the chair behind it. "So, now we have reached the end of the tour, any questions or requests?"
She looks at him, shaking her head slightly before pausing, a hoof raised to her chin. "...um...a-actually, do you have a tissue?" Please don't bleed yet, I can't answer the question that might come from that...
He nods and pulls out a box of them from under the desk, setting it in front of her. "You don't have any pet allergies do you?"
"...I-I don't think so..." She takes two of them before backing away towards the hallway. "...I-I'm just going to be in your office for a bit...b-be right back!" She rushes off, tail still between her legs.
He tilts his head as she leaves. "Huh, wonder what that was about..."'He shrugs and starts reading his book.
She quickly enters the office, bringing a tissue up to her nose. Of all the times to get a nosebleed... She pulled it away carefully, noting the blue staining the white. ...I'm going to have to stay in here for a bit, aren't I? She sighs softly, leaning her head forward and applying pressure to the tissue. "...buck me..."
After 15 minutes, Rhino is officially very concerned. He walks to his office door and knocks. "Angel? Are you alright in there?"
"I-I'm fine! J-just a nosebleed!" She quickly tosses the tissue away in the wastebasket, sniffing experimentally. ...it seems to have healed...thank goodness for his love... "I-It's healed, now."
He smiles in relief. "Alright, just come out when you're ready. Glad you're okay!" He makes his way back to the front.
She sighs quietly, squirming slightly. ...still aroused, though...hope he doesn't notice... She quietly exits the room, heading back to the front as well. She sits down next to him, forced to move her tail to one side so she didn't sit on it on accident. She keeps her gaze on the desk, unsure of what to do. "...s-so...w-what do you normally do about now?"
"Honestly, I usually just sit around and kill time until the clients start coming in." He looks down at where she is sitting on the floor. "You know, you don't have to sit down there. I could always pull over a chair for you, we could share my seat.... I'm sure there are other options but those are the ones that come to mind first."
She squirms a bit more on the floor, a small wisp of steam coming off her head. "...I-I'm fine here, Rhino...r-really..." ...great...I really can't control myself, can I?
He folds his forelegs as he looks down at her with an eyebrow raised. "Angel... you don't sound fine..."
She whimpers, lowering her head. "...y-you know me too well..." She looks up at him, the beginnings of tears in her eyes. "...I-I can't help myself...I-I have a thing for doctors..." She blushes brightly, feeling her cheeks heat up from embarrassment and excitement. ...now what do I do? I can't stay out here, like this...m-maybe I could hide in his office until I calm down...
He cringes at the small tears. "Please don't cry... you just have a very healthy libido..." He rubs the bridge of his nose with a hoof. "I take it you are having trouble controlling yourself? How do you want to handle this?"
"...I-I don't know..." She sniffles softly, rubbing a hoof across her snout. "...b-but I don't think...y-your customers would like this..." She nervously laughs, trying to dispel the tension she feels is in the room.
"A crying mare? No, I don't think they would. It's not doing wonders for me either." He groans as he leans forward with his head in his hooves. "Why are you crying anyway? To be blunt, you're horny, so what?"
"...w-well..." That's a good question. Why am I worried? "...w-what about the pets? D-don't they have a strong sense of smell?" ...okay, I have no idea where I'm going with this. "W-what if one of them smells my...m-my..." She bites her lip, too ashamed to finish that sentence.
"First, eww. Second, most owners keep a handle on their pets. Third, if they try, don't let them. You worry too much sometimes, you know that?" He pats her head.
"...I-I know..." ...I really do have a problem, don't I? I'd better clean myself up... She gets up and walks past him before pausing, confused. She turns back to him, embarrassed. "...um...i-is there a bathroom in here? I-I kind of need to..." She glances at her own flanks, and the tail that suddenly refused to lower. ...well, that's a problem...
Not noticing her tail, he points to a door just before the hallway. "Right there, take the time you need to do what you need to do."
She sighs, shaking her head. "...I-I'll just be cleaning up...as much as possible..." She quickly rushes into the bathroom and starts gingerly cleaning herself, trying not to stimulate herself any more than she already was.
Rhino shakes his head as he goes back to reading his book.
She steps back into the waiting room and sits back down next to him. "...I-I think I'm better..." She rests her head on his lap, sighing softly. ...it's fine...just don't focus on it too much...
He floats his book to one side as he smirks down at her. "You know, I still say a chair would be more comfortable than the floor. Plus, can you imagine what ponies would say if they saw you in the position you are now, relative to me?"
She looks up at him, honestly confused. "...what are you talking about Rhino?" She shakes her head before laying it back down. ...I don't understand...I like how comfortable his body is... She gently nuzzles his leg, rubbing her mane into his belly by the same action.
He cringes slightly. "Ok, this is a little awkward for me..." He levitates another chair over before lifting her up and setting her on it as he places it next to his own. "There we go."
She frowns softly at him, upset. "...I like how warm and fluffy you are..." She leans over, resting her head on his shoulder, looking at the book. "...whatcha reading?"
"One book of my favorite series. It's a little difficult to put into words, but let me give it a shot...." He gathers his thoughts. "It's an adventure book I suppose. It centers around a great walled settlement, populated by peaceful creatures. In each book, there is an evil group that roams the land and threatens this place. They, along with their neighbors, band together and defend their home, what they hold dear. It is a tale of good and evil, of peace and battle, tales of individuals among the stories of groups, you learn to feel for the characters and their struggles. You cheer for their victories and mourn for their losses. There's a reason this is at least my fifth time reading this."
"...I see..." She closes her eyes, trying to figure out whether or not such a book would be worth reading. ...if he likes it, chances are I will... She leans closer, gently kissing his cheek before returning to her previous position. "...maybe I should read it, sometime..."
He flips back to the front of the book. "Well, I'm not that far in and we do have time to kill... Unless you had other ideas or course."
She smiles softly, nodding a bit. "...I'd like to read it together...if that's what you're offering..."
After a time, the doors to the clinic open and Manila walks in humming a little tune. She stops as she sees the two ponies reading behind the desk. With a sly smile, she approaches. "Well well, what do we have here?"
Gel looks up at her, blinking in surprise. "...hey, I know you...you were my first customer..." Wow, there's a lot of love coming off of her...did she just meet up with her coltfriend? She sits upright, tilting her head to one side. "...a-are you here for an appointment, Miss?"
Rhino chuckles. "Easy there Angel, she works here. Right where we're sitting actually."
She looks at him, confused. "...she works with you?" She glances suspiciously at her before standing up and walking over to her, smiling softly. "H-hi. You probably know me, already, but I should introduce myself again." She holds out a hoof. "M-my name is Angelic Grace, but you may call me Angel." ...so this is what jealousy feels like...huh...
The other mare smiles. "Nice to see you again! I'm Manila." She shakes the offered hoof. "So what brings you here?" She looks over to Rhino and raises and lowers her eyebrows suggestively.
"J-just seeing where, um...D-Doctor Rhino works." She giggles, rubbing the back of her neck. "Meeting one of his coworkers is a nice plus." ...nothing to be worried about, I think. That's good to know.
The stallion in question raises an eyebrow at the use of his title, but otherwise does not do anything. Manila simply continues wearing that knowing smile of hers. "Just seeing where he works huh? And I suppose getting to snuggle up close to him while reading was just a plus too?"
"O-of course." To Tartarus with dancing around the subject. She moves back over to Rhino, tenderly nuzzling his cheek. "...h-he is my coltfriend, after all..." She blushes brightly, looking shyly at the other mare. "...y-you have one too, right?"
The earth mare takes on a small blush. "Well, I mean not yet, but I'm working on him!" She clears her throat as she does a quick circle around Angel. "So you’re the one who finally caught his eye huh? I hope you're treating him right~."
She flinches, turning her gaze to the floor and pawing at the ground with a hoof. "...I-I'm trying...I-I've made a mistake or two..." She sighs softly, sitting back in her chair and resting her head dejectedly on his shoulder.
Rhino puts a foreleg around her while giving Manila a meaningful look. She nods as she continues. "Well, the important thing is to try. Mistakes happen, he forgives you, so who am I to say anything?" She shakes her head quickly before coming out of it with a genuine smile. "But enough of me being protective of our stallion. Good on you for bagging him. He's a keeper."
The stallion rolls his eyes while smiling at the mare. "Always gotta play wingmare, don't you?"
Gel smiles, turning Rhino's head so they're looking at each other. "...you don't have to tell me that, Miss Manila...he's absolutely wonderful..." She leans up, gently kissing him. ...and that's not being fair to him...
He chuckles. "Well, you know you're pretty exceptional yourself..."
Manila giggles. Alright alright, if you want to keep that up, you can just go to his office, I need my desk."
The white mare pulls away from him, blushing brightly. "...um...s-sorry..." She moves to head down the hallway, a small trail of steam following her. Just had to get excited...though I'm surprised I got that way from a simple kiss...maybe I'm missing something...
The earth pony tilts her head at the other mare before her eyes suddenly shoot open and her jaw drops. She quickly gathers herself and pushes Rhino towards the other mare using her head.
Confused, he asks. "Woah, hey, what's the big idea?"
The receptionist responds simply. "Trust me, she needs you right now, and I'm not even sure she knows it yet."
She closes the door to his office behind her, sighing softly. "...I need to figure this - ow!" She collapses on the ground, holding her stomach. "...w-what was that?" ...strange...I could've sworn that I suddenly got a cramp...but why would that happen? She shakes her head, moving over to sit by the desk. ...I'm definitely missing something, here...
Rhino enters the office, closing the door behind him as well. He sees Gel sitting by the desk and walks over. "Hey, how are you feeling?"
"...I-I don't know..." She glances up at him, eyes wide in worry. "...I-I'm getting easily aroused...m-my stomach's cramping..." She groans, resting her head on her hooves. "...I-I can't figure out what's going on with me..."
He hums in thought. "Well... can you remember another time when this happened?"
She puts a hoof to her chin, thinking quietly to herself. "...w-well, there were a few other times this past year...but those were-" She cuts herself off, realizing what he was getting at. "...oh, dear Luna...I-I'm in heat..."
Rhino's ears lie flat against his head as his eyes shrink. "Oh dear..."
