Useless Things part 30
It's been quite a while, hasn't it? I'm hoping that this will wrap itself up ~31 or 32.
As a reminder, this is Nago/Wataru, spoilers 28. Rated 13+
Keisuke nodded in satisfaction as Wataru slept. He knew that the King - if Wataru was going to become King - was impressionable. The Fangire had certainly emphasized that enough.
Keeping him from going anywhere was a challenge. Keeping the Fangire from taking him somewhere and isolating him was another. The Fangire were going to have a human-sympathetic king if Keisuke had his way.
"How is he?" Dr. Takamoto asked, as she closed the door behind her. Keisuke tolerated the Fangire doctor because she was competent in her craft and understood the need to restrain patients. But she was still Fangire.
"Sleeping," Keisuke said firmly. "He didn't even try to go anywhere today."
"A shame. I was hoping to use my hunting skills even though I had my fill. But injured prey is not so fun, and he's hardly prey." She smiled at him. "But still, it's good to keep one's skills up, isn't it?"
"Not on your King," Keisuke said, reminding her that Wataru *was* King, and he would be a good King.
"If he's acting AMA, I'm perfectly within my rights, bounty hunter," the doctor said, arching an eyebrow. "And you know you wouldn't have it any other way." She walked past him to check on Wataru. And despite his knowledge that she didn't mean Wataru any harm, he still kept a sharp eye on her.
But the doctor just performed the exam he'd come to expect from her. It looked like she wasn't out to harm Wataru. This time. "You want to become his doctor, permanently," he observed.
"Of course," she said. "I'm better equipped than Dr. Takada. And I know when to restrain my patients." She nodded at Wataru. "Not that most of them are as troublesome as this young royal. Though I wouldn't mind chasing him down again. Just to get a better baseline of what he does when he's refusing treatment."
Treatment was very much not optional with this doctor, Keisuke realized. She *would* make a good doctor for Wataru, he was sure of it. He was also sure she shouldn't be allowed to be. "I trust that you'll keep him complacent while he's changing."
"Oh, I will," she promised. "I'll make sure of it." She appraised him. "By the way, Nago Keisuke, I am now your primary care doctor."
"My primary care doctor has been more than adequate," Keisuke informed her stiffly. "Why would I want to change?" He was not going to have, could not, have a Fangire for a doctor. He couldn't.
"Because you are the King's bodyguard," she said. "I *do* treat humans, you know. And I have a vested interest in your health, since the King prizes you highly. Therefore, you are now my patient."
"I refuse," Keisuke said, folding his arms. "My primary doctor can take care of my needs. Please return my care to him."
"No," Dr. Takamoto said calmly. "You're not getting away that easily. You are now my patient, and you will obey me." She folded her arms firmly, as unwilling to budge as he was.
