"", "writing": "Chapter One\n\nKnuckles heads through the revolving doors into the main lobby of a doctors office where he was scheduled to be. No one appeared to be in the strange red chairs that were sprawled about as if to make it feel more comfortable to be here, but instead it feels ominous to the solo echidna as he surveys the room and finds the reception desk.\n\nAs he approaches it, the lady behind the counter smiles up at him from her computer screen and asks for his name.\n\n\"Knuckles,\" he states in a slightly lowered tone of voice and clears his throat as she types on her keyboard. After a moment she looks back at him.\n\n\"Surname?\" she questions cheerfully.\n\n\"...The Echidna.\"\n\nMore typing could be heard as the young female fox jots it into her computer.\n\nKnuckles raps his fingers on the table top.\n\n\"Alright, Mr. Echidna. I'll need your birthday and proof of insurance.\"\n\nKnuckles's brows furrow and he puts both hands on the desk in front of him. \"I don't know, and I haven't got any.\"\n\nIt takes a moment for the fox to reply as she decides to rephrase the first question. \"You have a birthday, don't you?\" She looks visibly shaken as he answers with the shake of his head.\n\n\"Not that I know of. Can I see the doctor or not?\"\nThe young receptionist looks to her colleague, a big purple bear with a brunette ponytail who looks inquisitively from the girl to Knuckles.\n\n\"Well, you are scheduled to see the doctor today, and you're already here, so...I guess it doesn't matter.\"\n\nThe younger is relieved and once again smiles to the echidna, pushing paperwork in his direction. \"Here you are, then. I'll just need you to fill out this paperwork and sign at the bottom of the back page when you're done.\"\n\n\"Great!\" he exclaims, taking up the paper attached to its clipboard and pen before he goes over to a random seat at the far end of the room and sits. Fumbling with the pen in hand, he curses quietly to himself in his attempts to properly hold it. Once he settles on holding it tip down, he starts to fill out the paperwork, quickly realizing he doesn't understand half of it. There were questions pertaining to his own medical conditions as well as his family, to which he boldly crosses off. Once he signs the back after ten minutes of struggling, he reports back to the receptionist and hands in the paperwork. The fox-girl looks it over and gives him another bright smile.\n\n\"Great!\" she cheers, \"The nurse will meet with you shortly.\"\n\n\"Nurse?\" Knuckles questions, raising his brow. \"I thought I was seeing a doctor!\"\n\n\"You are,\" the bear chimes in. \"The nurse takes your vitals first.\"\n\n\"Vitals?\" Knuckles is obviously confused. \"I'm breathing, aren't I?\"\n\n\"Yes, but-\"\n\n\"So what's with that?\" Knuckles continues. \"How do they do that? They'll be able to see I'm still breathing and my heart is beating. What more could they check for?\"\n\nThe receptionists just look at each other.\n\n\"Besides,\" he carries on, \"I've got a clean bill of health. I'm gunna pass this exam, no sweat!\"\n\nThe fox doesn't know how else to respond as all she can do is smile and tell him to sit and wait over by the door for the nurse.\n\nKnuckles does as he's told and watches the clock on the wall above as it ticks loudly. It wouldn't have been so loud in a busier area, but seeing as there was no one else in sight, and it was so quiet here, the clock's inner workings could be heard clearly down to the gears.\n\nHe had never been to the doctor before. The thought hits him as he glances around the room. \n\nThe two girls behind the desk have a quiet conversation and one prints something which was almost as loud as the clock. Going to the doctor's had never crossed his mind, but now that he was here, he slowly starts to realize that he doesn't know what to expect. He wonders if he should ask the girls behind the counter, but he doesn't want to embarrass himself. \n\nMinutes seem like hours as he quietly waits as patiently as he possibly can given the circumstances. The ticking of the clock penetrates his ears, louder and louder with each click. Just as he can't stand it any longer, the door opens, and out steps a striped gray cat with her hair pulled up in a bun who smiles at him and calls his name.\n\n================================\n\nChapter Two\n\nKnuckles follows the nurse through the door that leads down a hallway toward a scale, which Knuckles has never seen before.\n\n\"What's this?\" he asks.\n\nThe nurse tilts her head slightly and smiles warmly. \"This is a scale. It allows us to weigh you.\"\n\nKnuckles's eyes widen and he looks back at it in wonder.\n\nWhen she instructs him to step on the scale, he looks at her as if to say something, but does as he's told instead.\n\nHe secretly questions if he should have taken off his shoes for this.\n\nOnce she jots something down on her notepad, she asks him to follow her and he steps off the scale before being led away from it. He glances back at it in confusion.\n\n[i]Should I have taken off my shoes, though? [/i]he thinks, [i]Wouldn't that be indecent? She's a woman. I can't do that.[/i]\n\nShe rounds a corner with him and leads him down another hallway filled with doors and strange posters.\n\n[i]Do they take my shoes into account? Like, do they subtract the weight of my shoes from my actual weight? How would they know how much my shoes weigh if I don't take them off?[/i]\n\nOnce they approach the exam room, she leads him inside.\n\n\"You can take a seat there for me, Mr. Echidna,\" she tells him, motioning to the bench covered in a fresh sheet of paper.\n\nKnuckles pulls his lips into a thin line as he briefly examines the strange seat-table then plops himself down on it.\n\nIt crunches as his butt and tail make impressions into the thin paper-lined cushion.\n\n\"Alrighty,\" the cat starts, \"I'll need you to lend me your left arm for a moment.\" She approaches him with a strange device, but without asking what it's for, he lifts his arm and she wraps the weird-looking sleeve around his bicep. Once she velcros it taunt into position, she takes up her stethoscope with her free hand and begins to pump at the rubber ball in her other while placing the metal saucer to his inner elbow.\nAs she pumps, the cuff gets tighter. At first, Knuckles thinks it's just strange, but his confusion quickly turns to concern as the cuff tightens too much. Just when he thinks it can't get any tighter, his fingers begin to tingle, and panic sets in.\n\n\"Stop! What are you doing?-\" he cries out, but just as he does, the sharp hiss of the air releasing from the cuff could be heard, and with it came the relief from the deflating torture device. The nurse listens through her stethoscope for a moment before pulling back and removing the cuff.\n\n\"Good! It's a little high, but that's normal.\" The nurse puts her things away in a cupboard as Knuckles watches questionably.\n\n\"High?\"\n\nShe hears the nervousness in his voice and smiles back at him. \"Oh, it's nothing to worry about. Your blood pressure is just slightly elevated when you're nervous or stressed.\"\n\nKnuckles hones in on her gaze and his face flushes slightly. His expression quickly changes to rage. \"I'm not either of those things! My heart just beats harder to protect the Master Emerald!\"\n\nThe nurse retains her composure and resists a chuckle as she makes her way to the door. \"The doctor will be in shortly,\" she explains with certainty. \"It was a pleasure meeting you.\"\n\nWith that, she was gone.\n\n\"What a strange way to check to see how fast my heart is going,\" he tells himself before waiting another so many minutes. Looking around he spots the many health-related posters on the walls, one talking about the dangers of STDs. He reads something about prevention measures and wonders what a condom is, and if he should get some.\n\nWith so many weird-looking tools on the wall next to him, he can't help but to pick one up and examine it. It was a strange, wand-like tool attached to the wall by a sort of coiled bungeecord of some kind. Weirdly enough, he's able to pull it closer to get a good look at it. When he presses the button a bright light shines in his eyes and he has to stop it from slingshotting away when he almost drops it. Hearing the door handle suddenly turn he puts it back quickly and the door to the room opens again, revealing a tall, golden dingo with a broad chest, dressed in a long lab coat.\n\n==================================\n\nChapter Three\n\n\"I'm Doctor Fiddles,\" the dingo introduces himself as he heads across the room to his computer. As he sits he adjusts his black-rimmed glasses and looks over at his crimson patient. \"Tell me, what brings you in today?\"\n\nThe side of Knuckles's mouth winces as he clicks his tongue and sits more up straight, crossing his arms over his chest in the process. \"You should already know that. You're the doctor who took the appointment.\"\n\nInstead of getting angry, the dingo lets out a chuckle and looks back to his computer. \"I like your sense of humor.\"\n\n\"I'm not laughing.\" The echidna grits his teeth, not liking to be mocked.\n\nThe doctor sighs after composing himself. \"Well, you know I know, so let's get to it.\"\n\nKnuckles watches as he stands and goes to the cupboard from where the nurse put away her things earlier.\n\nShifting on his crunchy seat, Knuckles uncomfortably adjusts and looks around the room again. \"You know, I don't actually need to be here,\" he says under his breath, just loud enough for the dingo's ears to hear. \"I'm healthy.\"\n\nDoctor Fiddles turns to his patient and studies him for a moment before Knuckles notices and their eyes meet. \"You don't have to go through with this. You have the right to leave.\"\n\nThis dingo sounds so serious, yet challenging to the echidna's ego that he can't just let it go.\n\n\"No,\" he growls. \"I'm here for my exam, and I will pass it.\"\n\nShaking his head, the doctor pulls out a tongue depressor and a small flashlight and makes his way over to his patient who looks nervous, yet determined to do what he has to do.\n\n\"Okay. Stick out your tongue and say '[i]ah[/i]',\" instructs the doctor.\n\nKnuckles opens his mouth and does as he's told. He studies the doctor's face and feels the big popsicle stick weigh down his tongue. The light is then aimed into his mouth and the doctor takes a moment to look at a few things in there. Moving the tongue depressor back slightly, the echidna gags and reels back, coughing and covering his mouth with the back of his hand.\n\n\"What are you trying to do? Make me puke?\" he questions accusingly. \"Is that your gimmick? Are you trying to make people sick so they come back to see you?\"\n\nThe doctor just stares at him with a blank expression for a moment before he inhales deep through his nose and sits up. Pushing his glasses back up on his nose, he exhales softly. \"I am checking the back of your throat to see if there is anything out of the ordinary, like inflamed tonsils.\"\n\n\"Well, why do you need to gag me in order to see that?\" Knuckles questions. \"Seems a little unorthodox.\"\n\nThe dingo smirks. \"Well, you've got a tongue, and it gets in my way, so I had to move it.\" This was the best way he thinks he can explain it, and surprisingly it works.\n\nKnuckles lets out a lengthy \"Oooooh,\" and tells him to carry on.\n\nNext, the doctor takes up the side of the echidna's throat and feels with his thumb and forefinger. The crimson blushes slightly in awkward confusion as the sensation of having someone's hand wrapped around his throat didn't exactly make his fists ball up. He feels as the fingers touch around certain areas, then the hand retracts.\n\nThe doctor returns to his computer for a moment to jot some things down and Knuckles grimaces.\n\n\"What are you writing down, anyway?\"\n\n\"Notes,\" he's told.\n\n\"Like what?\"\n\n\"Observations and findings.\"\n\nKnuckles squints. \"Aren't those the same thing?\"\n\nThe flashlight clicks on once more and flashes into the echidna's eyes. He complains but is told to follow the tip of the dingo's finger with his eyes, so he does.\n\n\"You could blind someone doing that, you know,\" he remarks, and the doctor puts away his flashlight and grabs another strange-looking device that Knuckles hadn't seen yet.\n\nThe doctor moves around to the red's side and lifts his dread-like quills to search for his ears. \"What the…?\"\n\nAfter a moment of searching, and the ever-growing look of concern on the doctor's face, Knuckles speaks up once more.\n\n\"You might as well just skip this part.\"\n\nGiving up on that, the doctor puts on his stethoscope and places the saucer-part to Knuckles's chest, just over his heart.\n\n\"It really was a stupid idea to come here. I'm perfectly fine, I know that!-\"\n\n\"Could you please,\" the doctor interrupts, \"be quiet for a moment. I'm trying to listen to your heart.\"\n\nAs the doctor goes back to what he's doing, Knuckles takes a moment to realize that the device the doctor was listening through allowed him to hear heartbeats.\n\n\"Are you serious? That ear-thing lets you hear hearts?\" The echidna can't contain himself. Taking it from the doctor, he fixes it to his own head and presses the saucer against the dingo's chest.\n\nTaken aback, but unmoving, the doctor allows him to geek over the medical instrument as he listens to his heart.\n\nStrangely enough though, the doctor could only wonder how he was capable of listening to anything if he didn't have ears.\n\n==================================\n\nChapter Four\n\nInhaling slowly, Knuckles watches as the nurse re-enters the room bearing some things that are laid out on the small table just below the cupboard, then exhales as the doctor listens to his lungs. \n\n\"Good,\" the dingo says.\n\nKnuckles perks up. \"So is that it?\"\n\n\"Not quite,\" the cat chimes as the doctor nods in her direction. She tears open a small paper packet and pulls out a small white wipe from it as she approaches him. \"I'm giving you a couple shots today to get you all updated on your mandatory vaccinations.\"\n\n\"My what?\" questions the echidna, but lets her brush his fur apart on his upper arm and apply the wipe to his skin. He smells the alcohol, but doesn't stop her.\n\nShe pulls out a syringe and removes the cap, revealing the sterile needle to him before moving it toward the area she had wiped. \"I'll make it quick, okay? I'm going to count to three.\"\n\nShe gets it into position before counting. On three, she inserts the needle quickly and removes it just in time to witness the echidna become visibly distraught as he jumps back and grabs at his arm.\n\n\"What was that!? Ow! What did you do to me!?\" He squirms around on the paper before settling back down as the nurse explains why getting your shots are important and what they do. \"Well, it doesn't need to be so painful,\" he notes.\n\n\"There's one more,\" she says, and he grumbles a bit but bites his tongue and braces himself for a second round. She counts again and pricks him on three, but he stays still this time. He was already embarrassed to have made a scene over it. No need to show them how scared he actually was anymore than he already has. After all, he was the guardian of the Master Emerald.\n\nNothing was supposed to scare him.\n\nThe nurse thanks him again and leaves once more and the doctor pulls on some rubber gloves.\n\n\"Can I go now?\" the echidna exhaustedly asks.\nDoctor Fiddles grimaces and looks over at him.\n\n\"There's more, but if you're done-\"\n\n\"No,\" fights the determined patient. \"No, I can take it.\" He had already been through this much. [i]How much worse could it get?[/i]\n\n\"Okay,\" the doctor sighs. \"I'll need you to stand up, turn toward the chair, and bend over. I need to check your prostate.\"\n\nKnuckles purses his lips and thinks about it for a moment before he asks, \"What's a prostate?\"\n\n=================================\n\nChapter Five\n\nKnuckles stares wide-eyed as the doctor explains what a prostate is and why males have them. In disbelief he just listens, learning how the procedure is done and how they check for abnormalities.\n\nIt takes the echidna a moment to process this and he swallows spit, thinking deeply about what he's gotten himself into.\n\n\"All males have it checked, so there's no reason to feel embarrassed,\" the doctor assures him. \"It's understandable if this is too much for you, but-\"\n\n\"I'll do it,\" Knuckles utters quietly.\n\nThe doctor watches as the echidna's face changes from horrified to determined.\n\n\"I can do this. If this is what I have to do to pass my exam, then I'll let you do it!\" He balls a fist and nods reassuringly toward the doctor who secretly questions his choice of career.\n\nKnuckles gets into position, spreading his legs slightly and holding on to the edges of the chair to brace himself with. He can't help his tail as it heavily weighs down on the area where the sun doesn't shine, usually. He can hear as the doctor opens the cap to some kind of tube, then follows the juicy sound of some liquid that's applied to his gloved fingers. Knuckles exhales deeply as the cap clicks shut to the unknown bottle.\n\nHe feels his tail being pulled upward and held in place as a finger meets the outer rim of his anus. A sharp, short breath is all he can manage to suck in before that finger invades his space, forcing its way inside the walls of his rectum.\n\nThe echidna gasps, feeling his face heat up and his knees getting weak. They wobble and almost buckle under him as he holds himself up with his shaking arms. He'd never felt so violated before, but the question he begged the need to know of was [i]why does it feel good?[/i]\n\nThe finger presses further in, and even though the doctor takes a moment to question if his patient was okay, he gets no response.\n\nKnuckles can barely breathe.\n\nHe tries his best not to, but reluctantly lets out a soft moan as the doctor's finger brushes against that sensitive part inside of him, and suddenly it feels like he's ready to explode. He wants to cry out, but goes mute even with his mouth open and rather ops to bite at the back of his own hand in order to stop anything else from passing his lips.\n\nJust when he thinks he can't take it anymore, the doctor pulls his finger out and Knuckles lets out a breathy sigh of relief before panting lightly from holding his breath for too long.\n\n\"Good,\" the doctor says. \"Stay like that for a moment.\"\n\nBefore Knuckles can properly respond, the dingo takes Knuckles's balls in hand, startling him.\n\n\"What the hell!?\" His muzzle brightens to almost the same shade as his coat.\n\n\"Relax. I need you to cough a few times for me.\"\nThe vulnerable echidna closes his eyes and lays his forehead onto the seat in front of him, then coughs as instructed.\n\nThis was an absolute nightmare.\n\n\"Okay. All done,\" Doctor Fiddles says, \"you may sit back down.\"\n\nSitting became somewhat difficult as the crimson struggles for a moment to do so, but settles on leaning to one side, a hand over his bulging crotch, and the other holding his weight.\n\n\"It looks like you're perfectly normal. No strange abnormalities or need for concern.

Knuckles heads through the revolving doors into the main lobby of a doctors office where he was scheduled to be. No one appeared to be in the strange red chairs that were sprawled about as if to make it feel more comfortable to be here, but instead it feels ominous to the solo echidna as he surveys the room and finds the reception desk.

As he approaches it, the lady behind the counter smiles up at him from her computer screen and asks for his name.

"Knuckles," he states in a slightly lowered tone of voice and clears his throat as she types on her keyboard. After a moment she looks back at him.

"Surname?" she questions cheerfully.

"...The Echidna."

More typing could be heard as the young female fox jots it into her computer.

Knuckles raps his fingers on the table top.

"Alright, Mr. Echidna. I'll need your birthday and proof of insurance."

Knuckles's brows furrow and he puts both hands on the desk in front of him. "I don't know, and I haven't got any."

It takes a moment for the fox to reply as she decides to rephrase the first question. "You have a birthday, don't you?" She looks visibly shaken as he answers with the shake of his head.

"Not that I know of. Can I see the doctor or not?"
The young receptionist looks to her colleague, a big purple bear with a brunette ponytail who looks inquisitively from the girl to Knuckles.

"Well, you are scheduled to see the doctor today, and you're already here, so...I guess it doesn't matter."

The younger is relieved and once again smiles to the echidna, pushing paperwork in his direction. "Here you are, then. I'll just need you to fill out this paperwork and sign at the bottom of the back page when you're done."

"Great!" he exclaims, taking up the paper attached to its clipboard and pen before he goes over to a random seat at the far end of the room and sits. Fumbling with the pen in hand, he curses quietly to himself in his attempts to properly hold it. Once he settles on holding it tip down, he starts to fill out the paperwork, quickly realizing he doesn't understand half of it. There were questions pertaining to his own medical conditions as well as his family, to which he boldly crosses off. Once he signs the back after ten minutes of struggling, he reports back to the receptionist and hands in the paperwork. The fox-girl looks it over and gives him another bright smile.

"Great!" she cheers, "The nurse will meet with you shortly."

"Nurse?" Knuckles questions, raising his brow. "I thought I was seeing a doctor!"

"You are," the bear chimes in. "The nurse takes your vitals first."

"Vitals?" Knuckles is obviously confused. "I'm breathing, aren't I?"

"Yes, but-"

"So what's with that?" Knuckles continues. "How do they do that? They'll be able to see I'm still breathing and my heart is beating. What more could they check for?"

The receptionists just look at each other.

"Besides," he carries on, "I've got a clean bill of health. I'm gunna pass this exam, no sweat!"

The fox doesn't know how else to respond as all she can do is smile and tell him to sit and wait over by the door for the nurse.

Knuckles does as he's told and watches the clock on the wall above as it ticks loudly. It wouldn't have been so loud in a busier area, but seeing as there was no one else in sight, and it was so quiet here, the clock's inner workings could be heard clearly down to the gears.

He had never been to the doctor before. The thought hits him as he glances around the room.

The two girls behind the desk have a quiet conversation and one prints something which was almost as loud as the clock. Going to the doctor's had never crossed his mind, but now that he was here, he slowly starts to realize that he doesn't know what to expect. He wonders if he should ask the girls behind the counter, but he doesn't want to embarrass himself.

Minutes seem like hours as he quietly waits as patiently as he possibly can given the circumstances. The ticking of the clock penetrates his ears, louder and louder with each click. Just as he can't stand it any longer, the door opens, and out steps a striped gray cat with her hair pulled up in a bun who smiles at him and calls his name.

================================

Chapter Two

Knuckles follows the nurse through the door that leads down a hallway toward a scale, which Knuckles has never seen before.

"What's this?" he asks.

The nurse tilts her head slightly and smiles warmly. "This is a scale. It allows us to weigh you."

Knuckles's eyes widen and he looks back at it in wonder.

When she instructs him to step on the scale, he looks at her as if to say something, but does as he's told instead.

He secretly questions if he should have taken off his shoes for this.

Once she jots something down on her notepad, she asks him to follow her and he steps off the scale before being led away from it. He glances back at it in confusion.

Should I have taken off my shoes, though? he thinks, Wouldn't that be indecent? She's a woman. I can't do that.

She rounds a corner with him and leads him down another hallway filled with doors and strange posters.

Do they take my shoes into account? Like, do they subtract the weight of my shoes from my actual weight? How would they know how much my shoes weigh if I don't take them off?

Once they approach the exam room, she leads him inside.

"You can take a seat there for me, Mr. Echidna," she tells him, motioning to the bench covered in a fresh sheet of paper.

Knuckles pulls his lips into a thin line as he briefly examines the strange seat-table then plops himself down on it.

It crunches as his butt and tail make impressions into the thin paper-lined cushion.

"Alrighty," the cat starts, "I'll need you to lend me your left arm for a moment." She approaches him with a strange device, but without asking what it's for, he lifts his arm and she wraps the weird-looking sleeve around his bicep. Once she velcros it taunt into position, she takes up her stethoscope with her free hand and begins to pump at the rubber ball in her other while placing the metal saucer to his inner elbow.
As she pumps, the cuff gets tighter. At first,  Knuckles thinks it's just strange, but his confusion quickly turns to concern as the cuff tightens too much. Just when he thinks it can't get any tighter, his fingers begin to tingle, and panic sets in.

"Stop! What are you doing?-" he cries out, but just as he does, the sharp hiss of the air releasing from the cuff could be heard, and with it came the relief from the deflating torture device. The nurse listens through her stethoscope for a moment before pulling back and removing the cuff.

"Good! It's a little high, but that's normal." The nurse puts her things away in a cupboard as Knuckles watches questionably.

"High?"

She hears the nervousness in his voice and smiles back at him. "Oh, it's nothing to worry about. Your blood pressure is just slightly elevated when you're nervous or stressed."

Knuckles hones in on her gaze and his face flushes slightly. His expression quickly changes to rage. "I'm not either of those things! My heart just beats harder to protect the Master Emerald!"

The nurse retains her composure and resists a chuckle as she makes her way to the door. "The doctor will be in shortly," she explains with certainty. "It was a pleasure meeting you."

With that, she was gone.

"What a strange way to check to see how fast my heart is going," he tells himself before waiting another so many minutes. Looking around he spots the many health-related posters on the walls, one talking about the dangers of STDs. He reads something about prevention measures and wonders what a condom is, and if he should get some.

With so many weird-looking tools on the wall next to him, he can't help but to pick one up and examine it. It was a strange, wand-like tool attached to the wall by a sort of coiled bungeecord of some kind. Weirdly enough, he's able to pull it closer to get a good look at it. When he presses the button a bright light shines in his eyes and he has to stop it from slingshotting away when he almost drops it. Hearing the door handle suddenly turn he puts it back quickly and the door to the room opens again, revealing a tall, golden dingo with a broad chest, dressed in a long lab coat.

==================================

Chapter Three

"I'm Doctor Fiddles," the dingo introduces himself as he heads across the room to his computer. As he sits he adjusts his black-rimmed glasses and looks over at his crimson patient. "Tell me, what brings you in today?"

The side of Knuckles's mouth winces as he clicks his tongue and sits more up straight, crossing his arms over his chest in the process. "You should already know that. You're the doctor who took the appointment."

Instead of getting angry, the dingo lets out a chuckle and looks back to his computer. "I like your sense of humor."

"I'm not laughing." The echidna grits his teeth, not liking to be mocked.

The doctor sighs after composing himself. "Well, you know I know, so let's get to it."

Knuckles watches as he stands and goes to the cupboard from where the nurse put away her things earlier.

Shifting on his crunchy seat, Knuckles uncomfortably adjusts and looks around the room again. "You know, I don't actually need to be here," he says under his breath, just loud enough for the dingo's ears to hear. "I'm healthy."

Doctor Fiddles turns to his patient and studies him for a moment before Knuckles notices and their eyes meet. "You don't have to go through with this. You have the right to leave."

This dingo sounds so serious, yet challenging to the echidna's ego that he can't just let it go.

"No," he growls. "I'm here for my exam, and I will pass it."

Shaking his head, the doctor pulls out a tongue depressor and a small flashlight and makes his way over to his patient who looks nervous, yet determined to do what he has to do.

"Okay. Stick out your tongue and say 'ah'," instructs the doctor.

Knuckles opens his mouth and does as he's told. He studies the doctor's face and feels the big popsicle stick weigh down his tongue. The light is then aimed into his mouth and the doctor takes a moment to look at a few things in there. Moving the tongue depressor back slightly, the echidna gags and reels back, coughing and covering his mouth with the back of his hand.

"What are you trying to do? Make me puke?" he questions accusingly. "Is that your gimmick? Are you trying to make people sick so they come back to see you?"

The doctor just stares at him with a blank expression for a moment before he inhales deep through his nose and sits up. Pushing his glasses back up on his nose, he exhales softly. "I am checking the back of your throat to see if there is anything out of the ordinary, like inflamed tonsils."

"Well, why do you need to gag me in order to see that?" Knuckles questions. "Seems a little unorthodox."

The dingo smirks. "Well, you've got a tongue, and it gets in my way, so I had to move it." This was the best way he thinks he can explain it, and surprisingly it works.

Knuckles lets out a lengthy "Oooooh," and tells him to carry on.

Next, the doctor takes up the side of the echidna's throat and feels with his thumb and forefinger. The crimson blushes slightly in awkward confusion as the sensation of having someone's hand wrapped around his throat didn't exactly make his fists ball up. He feels as the fingers touch around certain areas, then the hand retracts.

The doctor returns to his computer for a moment to jot some things down and Knuckles grimaces.

"What are you writing down, anyway?"

"Notes," he's told.

"Like what?"

"Observations and findings."

Knuckles squints. "Aren't those the same thing?"

The flashlight clicks on once more and flashes into the echidna's eyes. He complains but is told to follow the tip of the dingo's finger with his eyes, so he does.

"You could blind someone doing that, you know," he remarks, and the doctor puts away his flashlight and grabs another strange-looking device that Knuckles hadn't seen yet.

The doctor moves around to the red's side and lifts his dread-like quills to search for his ears. "What the…?"

After a moment of searching, and the ever-growing look of concern on the doctor's face, Knuckles speaks up once more.

"You might as well just skip this part."

Giving up on that, the doctor puts on his stethoscope and places the saucer-part to Knuckles's chest, just over his heart.

"It really was a stupid idea to come here. I'm perfectly fine, I know that!-"

"Could you please," the doctor interrupts, "be quiet for a moment. I'm trying to listen to your heart."

As the doctor goes back to what he's doing, Knuckles takes a moment to realize that the device the doctor was listening through allowed him to hear heartbeats.

"Are you serious? That ear-thing lets you hear hearts?" The echidna can't contain himself. Taking it from the doctor, he fixes it to his own head and presses the saucer against the dingo's chest.

Taken aback, but unmoving, the doctor allows him to geek over the medical instrument as he listens to his heart.

Strangely enough though, the doctor could only wonder how he was capable of listening to anything if he didn't have ears.

==================================

Chapter Four

Inhaling slowly, Knuckles watches as the nurse re-enters the room bearing some things that are laid out on the small table just below the cupboard, then exhales as the doctor listens to his lungs.

"Good," the dingo says.

Knuckles perks up. "So is that it?"

"Not quite," the cat chimes as the doctor nods in her direction. She tears open a small paper packet and pulls out a small white wipe from it as she approaches him. "I'm giving you a couple shots today to get you all updated on your mandatory vaccinations."

"My what?" questions the echidna, but lets her brush his fur apart on his upper arm and apply the wipe to his skin. He smells the alcohol, but doesn't stop her.

She pulls out a syringe and removes the cap, revealing the sterile needle to him before moving it toward the area she had wiped. "I'll make it quick, okay? I'm going to count to three."

She gets it into position before counting. On three, she inserts the needle quickly and removes it just in time to witness the echidna become visibly distraught as he jumps back and grabs at his arm.

"What was that!? Ow! What did you do to me!?" He squirms around on the paper before settling back down as the nurse explains why getting your shots are important and what they do. "Well, it doesn't need to be so painful," he notes.

"There's one more," she says, and he grumbles a bit but bites his tongue and braces himself for a second round. She counts again and pricks him on three, but he stays still this time. He was already embarrassed to have made a scene over it. No need to show them how scared he actually was anymore than he already has. After all, he was the guardian of the Master Emerald.

Nothing was supposed to scare him.

The nurse thanks him again and leaves once more and the doctor pulls on some rubber gloves.

"Can I go now?" the echidna exhaustedly asks.
Doctor Fiddles grimaces and looks over at him.

"There's more, but if you're done-"

"No," fights the determined patient. "No, I can take it." He had already been through this much. How much worse could it get?

"Okay," the doctor sighs. "I'll need you to stand up, turn toward the chair, and bend over. I need to check your prostate."

Knuckles purses his lips and thinks about it for a moment before he asks, "What's a prostate?"

=================================

Chapter Five

Knuckles stares wide-eyed as the doctor explains what a prostate is and why males have them. In disbelief he just listens, learning how the procedure is done and how they check for abnormalities.

It takes the echidna a moment to process this and he swallows spit, thinking deeply about what he's gotten himself into.

"All males have it checked, so there's no reason to feel embarrassed," the doctor assures him. "It's understandable if this is too much for you, but-"

"I'll do it," Knuckles utters quietly.

The doctor watches as the echidna's face changes from horrified to determined.

"I can do this. If this is what I have to do to pass my exam, then I'll let you do it!" He balls a fist and nods reassuringly toward the doctor who secretly questions his choice of career.

Knuckles gets into position, spreading his legs slightly and holding on to the edges of the chair to brace himself with. He can't help his tail as it heavily weighs down on the area where the sun doesn't shine, usually. He can hear as the doctor opens the cap to some kind of tube, then follows the juicy sound of some liquid that's applied to his gloved fingers. Knuckles exhales deeply as the cap clicks shut to the unknown bottle.

He feels his tail being pulled upward and held in place as a finger meets the outer rim of his anus. A sharp, short breath is all he can manage to suck in before that finger invades his space, forcing its way inside the walls of his rectum.

The echidna gasps, feeling his face heat up and his knees getting weak. They wobble and almost buckle under him as he holds himself up with his shaking arms. He'd never felt so violated before, but the question he begged the need to know of was why does it feel good?

The finger presses further in, and even though the doctor takes a moment to question if his patient was okay, he gets no response.

Knuckles can barely breathe.

He tries his best not to, but reluctantly lets out a soft moan as the doctor's finger brushes against that sensitive part inside of him, and suddenly it feels like he's ready to explode. He wants to cry out, but goes mute even with his mouth open and rather ops to bite at the back of his own hand in order to stop anything else from passing his lips.

Just when he thinks he can't take it anymore, the doctor pulls his finger out and Knuckles lets out a breathy sigh of relief before panting lightly from holding his breath for too long.

"Good," the doctor says. "Stay like that for a moment."

Before Knuckles can properly respond, the dingo takes Knuckles's balls in hand, startling him.

"What the hell!?" His muzzle brightens to almost the same shade as his coat.

"Relax. I need you to cough a few times for me."
The vulnerable echidna closes his eyes and lays his forehead onto the seat in front of him, then coughs as instructed.

This was an absolute nightmare.

"Okay. All done," Doctor Fiddles says, "you may sit back down."

Sitting became somewhat difficult as the crimson struggles for a moment to do so, but settles on leaning to one side, a hand over his bulging crotch, and the other holding his weight.

"It looks like you're perfectly normal. No strange abnormalities or need for concern. I'd say you're a perfectly healthy mobian man."

It takes a moment before Knuckles looks up to the ceiling and cheers, "Yes!" he exclaims excitedly. "Take that, Sonic!"

The doctor's brows furrow, confusedly.

"I'm healthy! I've passed my exam! Ha!"

Shaking his head, the doctor moves toward the door. "Well, I suppose I will see you next time. You are free to go!" He opens it and waits, but the echidna stalls.

"I uh...I'm gunna need a moment," he suggests awkwardly, "Can't really move at the moment."

When he manages to gather his strength,  Knuckles checks out at the office lobby, earning him a sticker, and proudly makes his way out through the revolving doors from whence he came.

==================================

Epilogue

"-and that's when I learned that I'm perfectly healthy. I told you I would pass my exam!"

The blue hedgehog who was listening takes a moment to process the story he was just told before bursting out into roaring laughter.

"What's so funny?" Knuckles questions.

It takes a moment to catch his breath, but when he does he still can't stop the giggles from falling out between words. "I can't,  haha! Believe you-" his breath hitches, "actually went!" His laughs stop him from making more comments.

"What?" Knuckles questions. "I did it! You said I should get an exam, so I passed it! Why is that so funny!?"

Sonic places a hand on his crimson friend's shoulder and wipes a tear away from his eye. "You let them touch your butt," he says before chortling with laughs again.

"No! They-" Knuckles's cheeks burn up. "Shut up! That's part of the exam! Hey!"

Sonic continues to laugh, never thinking that a simple expression could be taken so far.
