It was a chilly afternoon in Charles Darwin High School as Adam Lyon was heading into Nurse Gazelle's office for his sprain ankle from an accident in the gym, the feeling of dread coming over him with every limping step he took and the closer he got to her door, his heart beating quickly in his chest and he felt nausea deep in his stomach as he reached for the doorknob and opened the door to see a smiling Nurse Jacqueline Gazelle waiting for him with a stethoscope around her neck with the resonator between her breasts inside her half unbuttoned uniform as she gestured for the teenager to sit on the medical bed with a leering look in her blue eyes, his discomfort overriding the pain in his ankle.
" H-H-Hi Nurse Gazelle? I sorta sprained my ankle. " Adam told her nervously as he limped towards the bed, not liking the lustful gaze the older gazelle was staring at him with. " Coach Gills told me to rest here or tough it out. "
" Need me to massage it? " Nurse Gazelle suggested as she rubbed her hooves together, her tail wagging in anticipation. " Don't worry, I'm all out of painkillers so no needles for today! "
" It's horrifying how that's the good part of this visit..." Adam thought to himself as he watched Nurse Gazelle rub some lotion onto her hooves and was about to place them on his ankle before he instantly jerked it back. " No, that's okay. I'll just rest here for a bit"
" Nah, I insist! " Nurse Gazelle said as she pulled Adam's leg back towards her, rubbing the sprain ankle with one hoof and hold the leg down with the other while enjoying the contact a bit too much as she moaned, creeping out the kid even more...and even further when she started sniffing him.
"Ms. Gazelle? could you give me some space please?...you're freaking me out " He asked as he pushed her away.
" Kid, space is above Earth, that's literally impossible to do. " Nurse Gazelle pointed out while pointing up, much to Adam's chagrin.
" Woman...you can't be this stupid..." He muttered under his breath while pinching his temple, wondering still how she got this nursing job in the first place and managed to keep it after all these years.
" Oh I am very stupid...got a brain the size of a soy nut, babe. " Gazelle said matter-a-factly. " You look very nice today, Mr. Lyon...doing anything afterschool? "
" Getting away from you as quickly as possible, I hope! " Adam said as he quickly got off the bed and ran out the door, leaving a love struck Nurse Gazelle behind as the bell rang to signal that it was lunch time.
" I won't count on it if I were you, Adam Lyon..." She said to herself as she watched him leave with a disturbing smile on her face. " I got your scent locked in my nose."
Adam joined his pack for lunch as he opened his lunchbox and took out a sandwich, making sure to check to see if Jake Spidermonkey wasn't around him and protecting his sandwich.
" Hey, Adam you doing okay? " Ingrid Giraffe asked with concern for her beloved's well being, lowering her head closer to him almost to the point of uncomfortable levels. " I saw you hurt yourself in gym class, it must have been painful "
" I'm fine, Ingrid. just sprained my ankle is all, No biggie! " Adam assured her as he bit into his sandwich. " Thanks for caring"
" You're welcome babe.." Ingrid said before quickly correcting herself " ..I mean Buddy! yes, buddy! You know? hehehe...heh."
" Oye, chica you need to confess already! " Lupe Toucan whispered in the giraffe's ear. " or some other cabrona might snatch him up, tebien!"
" No, Lupe...we'll talk about this, later..." Ingrid responded sheepishly while twiddling her hooves together and smiling towards Adam, who noticed her staring at him creepily...as if Nurse Gazelle wasn't bad enough.
Speaking of, She showed up dressed in her skimpy school attire and sat beside Adam, much to a sneering Ingrid's jealousy, who pointed towards her with one hoof and made a throat slicing gesture with her other hoof, the gazelle rolling her eyes and putting her arm around the boy in response with a smug smile.
To which Ingrid responded with guilt as she quickly apologized to Nurse Gazelle. " I'm so very sorry, Nurse Gazelle. I don't know what came over me. "
" No problem, Ingrid...but do it again and I'll send you Principal Pixiefrog's office." Nurse Gazelle warned as she played with Adam's hair. " Besides, weren't we friends at the end of a certain episode...Hmmm? " She recalled.
" I remember...but it still hurts." Ingrid said as she pulled her beloved close to herself, only for Nurse Gazelle to close distance by hugging him herself.
In response, Adam wriggled out of both their grasps and pushed them off of him. " Enough! I'm not some prize to be won for you two to fight over, I'm my own person with my own thoughts and feelings and now if you excuse me, I'm out of here! " He said as he stormed off, leaving both Ingrid and Jacqueline with guilty looks on their faces.
After school and a long walk home, Adam Lyon exited out of the bathroom after brushing his teeth and getting dressed in his pajamas and finally getting into his bed to go to sleep...which he would have done if a giraffe hadn't climbed into bed with him, snuggling into his covers in an impromptu sleepover.
" Hey Adam. " Ingrid whispered as she craned her head to face him. " I wanted to apologize for earlier today and I couldn't sleep over the guilt. "
" Like breaking into my house and sleeping next to me isn't even worse? " Adam pointed out while staring at the ceiling. " It's alright, Ingrid...how long were you in my room? " He asked while looking up at her, the darkness concealing her blushing face.
" Oh...about the time you got undressed and went to the bathroom...your window was already open a smidge. " Ingrid said pointing to the closed window. " I swear I didn't see anything! "
" Well, that's one thing I'm not creeped out by..." Adam sighed. " You can stay here for the night, but you better be gone in the morning, Okay Ingrid? "
" O-okay, sure Adam...you smell nice..." Ingrid complemented while feeling giddy staying the night with her long time crush. " Thank you so much, Adam. "
" Don't mention it...to anybody. Promise? " Adam said as he extended his pinkie finger much to the confusion of the giraffe girl. " Right, animal...duh" he corrected himself by extending his hand towards Ingrid's hoof, who was doing her best not to hyperventilate and sweating profusely, her heart beating in her chest and her mind raced to think of a way to respond, gingerly taking his hand.
" I promise, Adam. " She responded.
" Good, Let's get some sleep, okay? Good night, Ingrid. " Adam said as he turned out the light...and suddenly feeling disgusted as he felt a long and black tongue lick his face in gratitude and the licker pulling him close and wrapping herself around him, feeling content to stay the night with her beloved. " I'll take that as an " thank you " "
" I love you...Adam...always have. " Ingrid muttered while dozing off.
' I like you too Ingrid..." Adam said wide eyed. " Kerry is not going to be happy. "
" She won't be the only one..." Nurse Gazelle said while peering through the window while sitting in a tree black and orange corset and eating leaves aggressively, before deciding to open the window and crawling inside for the night.
