Chapter 6: Patient

Leoroc opened his eyes, but left them half closed as he lay on the padded floor of his cell. The needling feeling of anxiety that had been accompanying his morning routine was already there.

How many days has it been? It has to have been weeks now... I don't think I've even seen a clock since I got here...

He shifted, the familiar feeling of the straight jacket pulling his arms into a soft hug around his middle still restricting his movement. The diaper between his legs, which at this point in the day was practically drooping with sogginess, crinkling obnoxious as it usually did.

He found it annoying that really the only form of measurable stimulation was moving around on his seat, listening to the crinkling of his diapers.

Of course, the fact that the steel cage was still firmly pressed down onto his bits didn't help either, and he had felt extremely embarrassed during the times the door to his cell opened and the guards found himself helplessly trying to hump the front of his wet diapers.

When they found him like this they usually chided him, teasing him that he wasn't allowed to get himself off until the doctor said so. And that no matter how hard he tried, the cage would make sure that he stayed a well-behaved, chaste kit.

"Just don't worry about it, you can just fill that diaper up in other ways."

The polar bear had joked, as they raised him to his feet, attaching the collar to his neck once again while the panda bear checked his diaper.

He groped the front of it, assessing just how much the pink leopard had wet it. Then he looped a finger underneath the waistband to check for leaks. Lastly he padded his behind gently, which always caused Leo to blush profusely.

"Come on Sadey, time to change that stinky diaper of yours. And then again tomorrow probably."

The two bears seemed to find endless enjoyment in their teasing, knowing that Leo could do absolutely nothing in retaliation other than blush and obediently follow along the leash they attached to him.

His day to day routine had stayed pretty consistent. He was fed through a feeding tube attached to his pacifier gag which the orderlies set up in his cell three times a day.

Tasteless gruel that was always a little bit difficult to swallow followed by water and a little bit of apple juice that tasted funny.

He always seemed to have to void his bowels in the evenings too, after the cell was shut for the night and he had finished his dinner.

The guards made sure to clip the bottom back buckle of his straight jacket to the leash in the center of the cell, to ensure that he 'wouldn't get up to anything we wouldn't want to deal with' and he would be left there until he inevitably lost the battle between his brain and bowels.

Leo wasn't happy with the fact that he was growing accustomed to having to mess himself while sitting directly on top of his diapered butt.

They'd always find him the next day, the cell filled with the smell of dirty diapers and a Leo who was desperate for a change.

The polar bear would always asked him if he wanted a change out of his dirty diapers, and Leo quickly learned that it was better to nod obediently than to offer any sort of resistance or insubordination.

He was beginning to value having a clean bottom more than his dignity, after refusing a change for several days had given him a wicked diaper rash.

There was one thing that he still didn't give up upon, and that was denying the fact that he was Sadey.

He had had a few more visits to the doctor, each time receiving an extra dosage of drugs to keep him docile.

The doctor had questioned him, much of the time Leo had forgotten the question as soon as it left the doctor's lips, leaving him to exasperatedly having to explain it once more to him, or ask one of the orderlies to give him an injection of caffeine on days where Leo's focus had left him utterly.

Still, whenever asked what his name and identity was, he was able without fail to always answer with, "I'm not Sadey, my name is Leo. I don't belong here."

At first, the doctor had scoffed and punished him for lying. But after a few weeks, even the doctor's eyes narrowed with suspicion as Leo had continued to adamantly state his claim.

After one of the sessions with him, he heard the wolf mutter under his breath something about Sadey never sticking to a story like this for more than a week.

One of the questioning sessions had actually seemed to be oriented around taking him seriously.

The doctor had grilled him about details about this supposed, "Leo" he kept claiming himself to be.

Leo had sat there, feeling himself grow red in embarrassment as he helplessly wet himself in his diaper right there in front of the doctor and described to him details about his life.

He told him about where he lived, the exact set up of his dorm as he left it, the location of where he lived, the school he went to, what kind of aspirations he had about his career, and so on.

The doctor had listened intently, occasionally asking him to stop as he looked something up on the internet, several times Leo saw his eyes widen and then narrow once more, the wolf's tail swishing agitatedly behind him as he returned his attention to Leo with another question.

"And how exactly do you know so much about Leo, Sadey? Did you know them before you were placed in this facility?"

Leo had sighed, feeling exasperated and exhausted from the interview. The small caffeine injection was wearing off, and he could feel his mind growing clouded once again as he responded in a tired tone.

"I know about Leo because I am Leo. Sadey tricked me, we're both pink leopards... You got the wrong person."

The doctor now stood up, obviously angered by this statement as he began to rant.

"You really think somebody who's been working in the psychiatric industry for decades would let something like this happen? You honestly expect me to believe that the team of people working on securing you back into this facility for treatment were so easily tricked? No, Sadey. You're not fooling anyone. We got the right person, and you're exactly where you belong."

At this he had snapped his fingers, and the orderlies quickly filed into the room. Unstrapping him from the chair and reattaching the leash to his collar.

The paci-gag was reattached, and Leo was only able to suckle on it pathetically as the doctor ordered them out of his office.

Leo's straightjacket was buckled once more to the strap on the floor, and he was left to sit there. Wondering if there was any hope left in his being released from this facility, or if perhaps he really was Sadey, and the drugs had just made him believe he was somebody else.

Leo whimpered softly. He was beginning to wonder if in fact he did belong in the facility.

~ ~ ~

The door to the cell opened suddenly, jolting Leo awake. He blinked, his mind still awash with the mixture of drugs and sleep that he was beginning to get used to.

The polar bear and panda wore smug expressions, one of them spoke up.

"Alright Leo, time to put your claims to the test. We've got a little guest today that I'm sure you'd love to meet. Let's get you into a clean diaper so you can greet your friend."

They helped him to his feet, and lead him over to the changing room. After wiping him down and repowdering his diaper area, they placed him into a thicker diaper than usual, and refastened the straps on his straitjacket into a firmer position.

"We're going to go to a different ward of the hospital today, so we've got to make sure you're extra secure for your journey."

The panda bear appeared in Leo's vision with a wheelchair equipped with straps he presumed would be attached to the rings in his straitjacket.

A few minutes later, his ankles had been securely bound to the chair along with his straightjacket, and he wasn't able to do anything other than turn his head and suckle instinctively on the pacifier gag still strapped into his muzzle.

He blinked a few times, trying to get his eyes into focus as he watched around him during the brief trip.

Various other cells with windows positioned too high above him to see into passed him by. Occasionally he heard indistinct yelling, and more times than he found comfortable he heard maniacal laughter, sometimes interjected with what sounded like sobbing.

He began to feel slightly grateful that these noises were impossible to hear inside the walls of his padded cell.

The party rounded the corner, and Leo felt his heart skip a beat as he saw Sadey standing there, wearing Leo's clothes like he had been wearing them all his life.

He nodded and smiled to the doctor as they conversed, smiling incredulously as he heard the doctor say.

"Ah yes, this is Sadey. He's been claiming that you are in fact he, and that he is actually you."

Sadey gave Leo a sideways glance, causing the restrained leopard to give him a withering look in return.

He stared daggers at the other pink leopard, who merely smiled back before returning his attention to the doctor, his tail raised delicately up in the air as if he didn't have a care in the world.

"Well I'm glad I can come and help sort this out, the last thing I want is to be wrongfully committed to a mental institution without doing anything. That doesn't sound like fun at all."

The doctor nodded sagely, but said nothing in response to his answer. He motioned towards the orderlies, and they began to follow the doctor and Sadey, who skipped up to walk beside him as they headed off in the direction of the doctor's office.

Leo shifted, feeling newly uncomfortable in his restraints as he was wheeled along, the straightjacket doing little to hide the obvious diaper snuggly hugging his waist. He had caught Sadey looking at it a few times with an amused expression on his face.

The doctor spoke, facing forward and seemed to be addressing nobody in particular, as he stared at a space in between the two.

"I shall be providing the two of you with a series of questions in order to determine who is telling the truth. There will be nobody leaving my office until the test is finished, and I shall be reading through the results immediately and determining who will remain in this facility immediately after I have analyzed the results."

Sadey, at this, looked back at Leo. Leo stared back, feeling his drug induced mind wallow in feelings of loathing as he looked at the person responsible for his current predicament.

Sadey smiled softly, dropping his gaze and returning to facing forward. The party of five soon arrived and entered the doctor's office.

Leo squirmed, feeling his bladder telling him that it needed to relieve himself. He resisted, not wanting to show Sadey just how pathetically he had been subjected during his time in the psych ward.

The wheelchair was positioned in front of the doctor's desk, Sadey taking a seat right next to him quietly.

The polar bear moved to remove the paci-gag, and upon doing so Leo immediately turned to Sadey and asked point blank.

"Why did you do this to me?"

"Enough, I would like to minimize interjections as much as possible during this test."

The wolf spoke sternly, staring pointedly at Leo until he returned his gaze to the doctor's. Sadey did not respond nor move to anything Leo said, which only further frustrated Leo.

The doctor sat down in his chair, and steepled his paw pads. He closed his eyes, and then sat forward and leaned his elbows on his desk.

He opened his eyes again, letting go of a breath and began to speak.

"What is your name?"

"Leo."

"L-leo..."

Leo cursed under his breath, catching the attention of the doctor. The drugs caused his responses to be slow and lethargic.

"And where do you live, Leo?"

The questions continued in this fashion, Sadey answered every question quickly and efficiently, sometimes before Leo even had a chance to respond.

Sluggishly, he echoed what Sadey said, much to his own chagrin sounding like he was only repeating what he was saying, instead of speaking his own truth.

This continued on for what felt like an hour, Leo getting progressively more and more tired, sometimes even answering the questions incorrectly.

At last, the doctor leaned back, nodding appreciatively towards Sadey. Leo felt as if there was no hope left in even trying. He felt utterly exhausted, his head pounded with a dull throbbing as the drugs did little to alleviate his cognitive fatigue.

All he wanted to do was go and lay down again.

The doctor typed something and then sat, reading something the computer display, out of sight of Leo's and Sadey's perspectives.

He nodded and turned his attention to Leo once again, who was now beginning to struggle to keep his eyes open, a line of drool escaping his muzzle and pooling on top of his straitjacket.

The doctor spoke up, addressing him directly, "What is your name?"

Leo opened his mouth to answer, but instead a small hissing noise filled the room. He looked down, and saw the front of his thick diapers growing darker and more yellow in color. He was uncontrollably wetting himself.

Sadey turned to the doctor, speaking up.

"You know, Sadey did have several boxes of diapers when I visited his apartment. He said that he enjoyed wearing them."

The doctor struggled to hold back a smile, but managed to shook his head and clear his expression of emotion once again. He spoke.

"What is your name?"

Leo's let his head drop forward onto his straight jacket, and he spoke up once more, his voice quavering as he uttered a single word.

"Sadey..."
