Res tugged at the black collar, with a pink heart dangling from it, uncomfortably as he entered the hospital. It may have been in place and on show, but it was not, honestly, all that uncommon for furries to wear them. Some wore them as a part of kink and some wore them simply because they were another fashion accessory. Some had other reasons entirely for collar-wearing -- or not, as it were. But the blue jackal had never chosen to wear the collar.
Once, he'd been tricked. And that once had been enough. The Collar of Obedience came with a curse and one night out with a fling and one night stand, well, it had been enough to get it in place. No one, so far, had been able to remove it from him, let alone Res himself. If he ever tried to, something, he couldn't say what, forced his paws back down to his sides and there was usually something humiliating to accompany it.
Res tried not to think about it too much. He tried not to think about how many times the collar had forced him to shout, "I've been a naughty boy!" back in the early days of wearing it, when he'd tried to remove it far, far too many times. Some said that it took him a long time to learn.
The fact of the matter was that the collar forced him to obey -- any order directed at him. It didn't matter what it was, but it set his heart racing in new environments, especially, even if no one there could have known what the collar did to him.
But it would be fine, wouldn't it? If he was in the hospital, no one there would do anything to him, not that he wasn't there already to do anyway. And that was fine, all fine... But the collar did have the ability to influence those around him, drawing their attention to it, raising their libido, drawing on sexual craving too.
He took a deep breath, signing in with a trembling paw. No, everyone there would be professional. He just had to remember that, that there was no real risk in it for him. None at all.
Just a check-up. Easy, right?
If only it was that easy.
The time for his check-up came so swiftly that Res barely had any time to calm his nerves before a nurse led him into the adjoining room -- or one of them, at least. It would have been silly for Res to assume that there was only a single check-up room just like that one at the entire hospital, yet his scattered mind jumped from one thing to the next. Thankfully, the blue jackal had managed to not let those words leap from his lips, which was an improvement on how things usually went with him...
"Now, what are we here for today?"
His nurse introduced herself to him as Jess, a curvy, lop-eared bunny with purple-shaded fur, though he tried not to think about just how busty she was. That was another effect of the collar in how it affected his sex drive, his need rising, even though it all very much was not the time and place for it. Maybe, one day, he would get the cursed thing off.
Res sighed. Maybe.
"Yes... Thanks, just a quick check-up. I have to get it for work, that's all, but it's just so that they can tick the box on the HR forms. You know how it goes."
"Oh, of course!"
Jess smiled, doing her best to put him at ease, though Res could already see how her eyes flicked curiously to the collar, wearing a nurse's tunic in white that set off the soft purple shades, dipping to white over her muzzle and down her neck, while her ears and paws were a far richer, darker colour. But he had to get through it as she looked in his ears, the cold metal making him jump.
"Oh!"
"Apologies, sweetie, I didn't think you'd be quite that sensitive."
Res blushed.
"Oh, no, it's my fault..."
"And could you take your shirt off for me? I'd like to listen to your heart and lungs."
Res hesitated, feeling the weight of the collar on his neck even more strongly than usual.
"Can't you do that under my shirt?" It wasn't an order, was it? "I'm really not comfortable... Oh!"
But the collar knew that the order had merely been phrased as a request, jolting the jackal into action.
"Oh, I'd love to get my shirt off and show off my little muscles to you, nurse!"
Jess backed off, eyes wide, for that was by no means a normal response from anyone getting a physical exam, yet the collar tightened a little around Res' neck. It did not offer him the ability to disobey anyone and the jackal gave a sexy little shimmy out of his shirt too as he set it aside. Of course, the collar did not make him fold it tidily, so it just ended up in a messy heap on the floor.
The nurse raised her eyebrows, the bunny's ears half perking up.
"Ooookay then!"
It was probably a joke, she thought to herself. It was not the jackal's fault that patients tended to become nervous when they were having an exam, that was very normal. But what she could not understand was just why her eyes kept going back to his collar, again and again, luring her in.
Her fingers twitched, though Jess could not explain her desire to touch it, not even as she listened to Res' chest from the front and the back, checking his lungs and heart respectively. She tried to be professional, but it was easier to let her eyes wander, to let a stray touch of her finger brush the collar, stroking across his shoulder.
Res shivered and jumped.
"Oh!" She pretended to be surprised, though Jess could not have known that the collar's influence was working over even her, albeit in a different way. "Did I startle you?"
Res blushed and squirmed, though he tried to hide it.
"Oh... No, no, not really..."
Thankfully, there was no order there, but he had to jump to attention before the collar made him when she asked him to give a nasal swab, a common virus check those days. Res' eyes watered and his nose itched and itched even as she told him to stand still, to let her do it.
Oh, how he tried, knowing that it was futile, that, even though he wanted to obey, his body could not. Not all obedience, after all, was within the jackal's control as he shot back, covering his muzzle for a sneeze.
"Achoo!"
Jess shook her head, putting the sample aside.
"You didn't let me get the sample properly, I -- "
