Miroku shifted in his seat at the hospital, glaring at the magazine in his hands. Damn her. Susan... What a bitch. He should've known, though - She was always pretty vindictive; it would be just like her to do this to him. Ah! And how long would it keep him from his normal routine?
Once a month, Clara voluntarily did a shift for the STD clinic at the hospital. It looked good on her resume mostly, and it was a break from the run-around in her regular unit. Sending out her previous patient, Clara looked down at the wait list. Well well well, that name was familiar. She poked her head out into the waiting room and smiled. "Miroku Bosatsu~"
For the love of... Of course. It had to be the totally hot blonde he had been trying to nail since she moved in. "Hello~" he said. Fuck.
Professionalism Clara, professionalism. "Right this way," she said, indicting to the third examination room. While Clara hoped that all of her patients would come back with good results, a small part of her really wanted Miroku's to come back well since he wasn't a complete stranger to her. But the tests had to be done first.
Of course, this would ruin his chances of ever getting a piece. Nooo~ And she was so hot, too! Miroku followed her quietly, then sat down where he was supposed to.
"Have you had this particular test before?" Clara asked as she opened a drawer and took out the supplies she needed to conduct the test. One pair of latex gloves and one swab.
...What was that? "Um... No, I don't think so. I've - I've had a few tests before? The typical stuff everyone gets, but ah..."
Awww, Miroku was about to wish the hospital lab used a urine sample instead of a direct sample for the test. But a direct sample was what he was going to get. "I'm going to insert a swab into the opening of your urethra to take a sample, and then that will be sent to the lab."
Oh... God. Okay. Miroku coughed. "Wh... Really?"
"It's a smidge cheaper than taking a urine sample," Clara said as she put on the gloves. "Plus this way we know for certain the sample was taken correctly."
Miroku nodded reluctantly, then unzipped his pants and got ready. "How long will it take to know?"
"Not very long at all," Clara said before breaking open the swab packet and quickly taking the sample. Sliding the swab back into its sleeve, she resisted the urge to make any sorts of comments. Entirely unprofessional, even if it would have been a compliment. "You'll get a call tomorrow."
Miroku shook his head. Son of a bitch. And some guys got off on that shit? "Ah, thank you."
"You're welcome," Clara said. Disposing of the gloves, she tucked Miroku's chart under her arm. "Do you have any other questions?"
"Not really." He finished buckling his belt, then sighed. "It's treatable, right?"
"Yes, we use antibiotics to treat it," Clara replied. "As prevalent as Chlamydia is, it's one of the easier ones to treat completely since it's caused by a bacterium."
Miroku nodded a bit. "And this is just between us, right?"
"Doctor patient confidentiality," Clara said with a nod. "I might not be a doctor but it still applies to me."
Ah! Yes, of course. "Thank you, Clara."
"Of course." Crossing to the door, she smiled and tapped his chart. "I'll see this to the lab personally," she said, referring to the swab she'd stuck inside.
"All right. I'll see you around."
Clara nodded and stepped out into the hall. "Just take the same door you used to come in from the waiting room."
Miroku nodded and did just that. Well, that wasn't so bad...
Oh wait, except for the fact that he had to do it! That was the worst part, really, you know, the fact that it happened. Damn!
