Whenever Chris had to take Dodger to the vets he always made sure to go at awkward times that no one else went. The last thing he wanted was to be recognised, especially if Dodger was sick.

Today though it was just a general check-up and Dodger's annual jabs. The waiting room was quiet since it was now very late in the day. Dodger sat patiently waiting, his tail slowly wagging as Chris sat scrolling on his phone. Chris trying not to huff in annoyance as he still tried to get used to his new phone, wanting nothing more than to head home and get some rest after a tiring day of meetings.

“Dodger Evans?” A female voice called out.

Chris’ head snapped up since he was expecting his usual vet, one that was very much male. He blinked a couple of times as he came to his senses and stood up, wiping his hands on his jeans.

“Hi that’s me- I mean us- Dodger that’s Dodger,” Chris says stumbling over his words before pointing down at Dodger who was giving him a quizzical look.

You chuckle gently “well it’s lovely to meet you, I’m Dr Y/L/N, but please call me Y/N” you smile instantly putting Chris at ease, turning away to lead them to the examination room.

“Chris” he replied “I’m Chris” he clarified when you looked back at him slightly confused.

“Nice to meet you, now c’mon and let's get you checked out hey pal” you smile down to dodger before leading them into the examination room.

“Hey um I don’t mean to sound rude or anything but what happened to Dr Stevenson?” Chris asked as he shut the door behind him.

“He’s had to take some time off for a family emergency so I’ve taken over some of his clients, and since I’m new to the practice I’ve been given the graveyard shifts” you explain as you grab your stethoscope from the side.

“Ah nice, I mean not nice for you and for Dr Stevenson” Chris rambles scratching the back of his neck nervously.

You flashed him another smile that made him instantly relax and get more nervous at the same time. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d been so flustered around someone, usually he was pretty good at this but you were so different.

He could tell you were tired like he was but you still had the brightest smile on your face. Despite wearing absolutely no makeup and your ponytail being a little messy you still looked absolutely stunning in your pale green scrubs, a fact Chris would have to re-evaluate later once he was alone. The thing that amazes him the most though was the warmth you gave off, it made him feel like he was being enveloped in the biggest hug ever even though you were standing on the opposite side of the room.

“Right then pal shall we make sure everything is looking good?” You smile bending down to be at eye level with Dodger.

Dodger instantly started wiggling, trying to lick your face which just made you laugh “oh yes thank you, oh yes you’re very kind, can you sit for me? Sit?” You tell him, Dodger obeying without Chris needing to do anything.

Dodger sat patiently, his tail wagging as you checked the condition of his teeth, gums, eyes and ears.

“You’re such a good boy aren’t you? Now stay nice and still for me” you smile grabbing the stethoscope from your neck and listening to his lungs and heart.

“Yes you’re such a good boy” you smile scratching Dodger behind the ears before standing back up “how is he with injections?” You ask looking over at Chris.

“Oh um yeah usually pretty good,” Chris says nodding his head.

“Okay cool, well just to be safe do you want to just sit in front of him and give him some fussing since I’m a stranger that’s about to stab him with a needle” you joke making Chris laugh.

“Yeah sure not a problem” Chris smiles.

He crouches down in front of Dodger, stroking his head and reassuring him while you got the injections ready. Once you crouched down beside Chris, just out of Dodger’s eye-line, Chris’ heart skipped a beat when he realised how close you were to him. As you worked Chris watched you, noticing the small furrow of your brows as you concentrated and the light spattering of freckles across your cheeks and nose.

“You’re such a brave boy, well done!” You smile as you praise Dodger “I think you deserve a treat!” You add as you grab a chicken bite from the jar.

Dodger sits patiently as he waits for his treat, something that makes you laugh gently and Chris decides that your laugh was his favourite sound.

“So is everything all good?” Chris asks.

“Yep you have a very healthy and extremely happy dog” you smile nodding your head.

Silence falls in the room for a moment as you and Chris just look at each other. Chris trying to decide whether it would be appropriate to ask you out, he couldn’t see a ring but that didn’t mean you were single, and you might not even be interested. Just as he worked up the nerve the moment was ruined when Dodger let out a loud bark.

“Great, well um thank you for everything,” Chris says clearing his throat.

“I’m just doing my job, have a lovely evening” you smile.

“I will, you too” Chris smiles nodding his head “c’mon then bubba,” he says pulling a somewhat reluctant Dodger outside.

It was a couple of weeks later and Chris was sitting on the couch reading a new script he’d been sent. Dodger was nearby keeping himself entertained by throwing his toys around, chasing and diving onto them.

Chris smiled to himself as he watched Dodger play before turning his attention back to the script. He’d only read a couple more lines when he heard a crashing sound and Dodger yelping loudly.

Chris shot up from the couch and ran over to where Dodger was, finding him standing next to one of the side tables, his left paw raised. Chris crouched down beside Dodger, picking up the picture frame that had fallen, before checking out his paw. Chris couldn’t see anything obviously wrong with it but whenever he touched it, even gently, Dodger would whimper and whine.

“Okay pal let's get you to the vets,” Chris says opting to pick Dodger up and carry him to the car.

On the drive over Chris called the vets to let them know what had happened and that they were coming in. Once they arrived Chris carried Dodger straight into the examination room where you were waiting.

“I’ve heard we had an injured paw,” you say a look of concern on your face as you crouch down next to Dodger who was lying on the floor.

“Can you tell me what happened?” You ask glancing up at Chris.

“I dunno exactly, he was playing just out of my line of sight, I heard a crashing noise and him yelping and when I looked he wouldn’t put any weight on his front left paw” Chris sighs “I think he dived after a toy and crashed into the side table”

You hum nodding your head as you gently examine Dodger’s paw, Dodger whining and whimpering.

“He’s had a double hip replacement already because he has BB gun pellets in his hips, do you think that could be causing this? Pellets in his wrist?” Chris asks rubbing his chin.

“Potentially, but I think there’d be an obvious sign that there was a pellet since there isn’t much muscle there, and I’d be surprised if we missed it before,” you say thinking out loud “but we’ll get him an x-ray just to check and it’ll clear up whether this is a break or a muscular issue,” you say standing back up.

“That’s great thank you, do whatever you need to,” Chris says nodding his head.

It was an anxious wait for the x-ray to be done and the results to be checked. When you walked back into the room holding the x-rays Chris instantly spotted the concerned look on your face.

“Is it a break?” Chris asks nervously.

“No,” you say shaking your head “his x-ray came back completely fine, no break and I can’t even see anything that would indicate a muscular injury either, it looks perfectly fine” you explain, frowning slightly when you looked down at Dodger who was lying down a smile on his face as he wagged his tail slowly.

“So what do you think the problem is?” Chris asks confused.

“I have a theory but I need your permission to test it,” you say looking over at him.

“Yeah of course anything,” Chris says nodding his head.

“Okay cool,” you say grabbing a treat from the jar and walking to the opposite side of the room to Dodger, as far away as you could.

You crouched down and started calling for Dodger, holding out the treat as an incentive. Dodger pushed himself up and started limping over to you, his right paw raised in the air. Once he reached you, you gave him his treat a smile on your face.

“Good boy” you smile scratching him behind the ear “he’s fine his paw isn’t even injured,” you say standing back up.

Chris looks back at you confused “what? but he was just limping” he points out.

“You said it was his left paw he injured right?” You ask.

“Yeah” Chris confirms.

“Well he’s now acting like it’s his right” you explain “he’s been faking it”

“What? Why would he even do that?” Chris asks confused looking down at Dodger who was happily smiling up at him.

“Most dogs do it for attention, however, they stop as soon as the vet is mentioned, I’m surprised he carried it on right up til now” you explain shrugging your shoulders.

Chris shakes his head in disbelief as he tries to work out what Dodger's motives could possibly be. Why would Dodger want to come to the vets, he’s never had a problem with them but it was surprising that he did act injured so he’d go to the vets.

“Well I’m just as lost as you, I’m so sorry if we wasted your time” Chris sighs shaking his head.

“No not at all, it’s better to be safe than sorry but I assure you he’ll be fine, you probably just want some cuddles don’t you” You smile bending down to fuss Dodger who instantly sprang to live, confirming the fact that he wasn’t injured at all.

“I’m still really sorry, is there any way I could make it up to you? A donation or something?” Chris offers.

You smile up at him “how about a cup of coffee instead?” You suggest.

“Coffee?” Chris asks surprised, were you asking him out?

“Yeah or something stronger if you prefer, movie, I’m easy,” you say with a playful smirk.

You were definitely asking him out, Chris starting to work out Dodger’s motives “yeah sure um let me get your number and I’ll call you to set something up” Chris smiles nodding his head.

“Great and don’t worry about the bill today, it’s on us,” you tell him.

“No, c’mon I have to pay something” Chris states shaking his head.

“You can just pay for the drinks” you smirk making him laugh.

“Okay I can deal with that, thank you again and I’ll see you soon” Chris smiles

“I’ll see you soon, stay out of trouble Dodger,” you say scratching his head.

Chris gave you one last goodbye before taking Dodger who was now completely fine back to the car.

“Well bud, your methods were questionable but thanks pal, you’re the perfect wingman” Chris smiles.
