Jethro awakes feeling groggy. He attempts to stand only for a strong hand to hold him down
"Duck hasn't finished...the Git is getting some more blankets"
He frowns as he spots three Tonys and heavily lifts a hand as he tries to touch one.
Tony cocks his head to one side as Jethro attempts to catch the air next to him. He frowns and takes the hand before turning to Duck "Is my Mate ok?"
The old man sighs "I have fixed up his leg...but I am not sure as to how it'll hold up" at the confused look, he states "Jethro has two form...I have fixed his leg in this one but I am not sure if it'll hold into the other"
Jethro just gives him a slightly drunk smile "Leg good?"
Tony nods and gently picks him up before carrying him over to the corner of the stable "You will get fully better and then mount me" he chuckles at the lusty look "Yes...I want you for Life" with that, he strokes Jethros face "Now go to sleep and heal"
Jethro nods and yawns before following the Command and drifting off.
The Mustang waits until he is asleep before standing. He turns to face the other man "Can you stay and watch over him? I have to speak with the Git"
Duck nods as picks up his bag and heads over to a sleeping Jethro before sitting down next to him "I'll look after him until your return"
Tony nods in Thanks and only when he is sure...he leaves the stable.

He jolts awake as pain flares up his leg and he glances around...only to frown as he notices that he is in his old stable (How the fuck did I get back here?) he pauses at the sight of his left leg all taped up and splinted "Wha-?" he turns at a chuckle and relaxes as he spots the Mustang.
Tony smiles as he stands and walks over "How are you feeling?" he lowers himself to the ground beside him "You have been out of it since I carried you here over a week ago"
He looks at him in shock before flashes of memory comes back to him...him up a tree getting away from the two horny Stallions...him slipping and snapping his leg...Tony helping him while James was nowhere in sight...himself riding Tony and telling him to head to Jack as they were chased...then darkness.
The Mustang watches as different emotions flash across the handsome face and frowns at the look of sadness "Jethro?"
Jethro looks up as a tear falls down his cheek "I have caused you to be chucked out of the Herds Grounds...all because I shifted into Man and broke my leg"
Tony sighs as he gently gathers him up into his arms "It was my choice" he bites his bottom lip before taking Jethros hand and placing it on his hip where skin becomes pelt "As was this"
Jethro looks down in shock and a warm smile crosses his face as he fingers the recently burnt skin "You...you accepted his Branding?"
He nods as he runs his fingers over the same letters that are on his Mate "We are both Branded...and so, we will be together forever"
He lifts a hand to wipe away the tears that form "You...you did it for...for me?" at the nod, he leans against the strong chest "Thank-You Tony"
Tony smiles as he kisses the silver hair "You are very much Welcome" with that he makes himself comfortable as he watches Jethro drift off again...

Jethro frown as he hears a strained grunting noise and slowly cracks open an eye to watch as Tonys form shivers between Man and Centaur. He gazes at the sight before lifting a hand to wipe the sleep from his eyes "To...ny?"
The Mustang looks over while panting and shakily stands "J...Jethro" he rubs the sweat from his brow "How...how can you do it?"
He just looks at him in confusion "What are you trying to do?"
Tony rolls his eyes as he attempts it again "I'm try...ing to shift...forms like you can"
Jethro cringes at the pain that is etched across his Mates face "Tony...Tony stop! Please, you'll hurt yourself!"
He instantly stops at the fear he hears in the voice and slowly walks over before lowering himself to the ground "I'll stop...please don't panic"
Jethro gives him a small smile as he drags himself closer and onto the Mustangs back, accepting the blanket Tony gives him, before smiling as his Mate stands "Can you take me to Jack? I want to Thank him"
Tony shakes his head "Jack has taken the...children out" he shrugs "It is only the Git that is here...other than Duck"
He frowns "Git? Who is that?"
He angrily stamps his hoof "Some Man! Who had the nerve to aim a shotgun at me!" he forces himself to calm down "I accept him only because he is a Gibbs and is a Member of your Human Herd" with that he heads outside and into the fresh air.

Leroy smirks as he passes Duck a cup of Earl Grey while drinking his black coffee "How's Jethro?"
Duck accepts the cup with a nod as he gazes out across the fields "He is healing well and his fever has disappeared" he gives his friend a warm smile "He will make a full recovery...and you can see for yourself"
He looks up and a relieved smile crosses his face as the wild Centaur leaves the Stables with an awake and alert Jethro on his back "Thank God for that!"
Ducky chuckles as he spots the relief that crosses his friends face followed by the narrow eyed glare he gives the Centaur "I take it that you are not impressed with Anthony?"
Leroy growls "Jethro could do so much better than that annoying, cocky Colt!"
He rolls his eyes "He said the same thing when you became involved with that Actor...and yet, you have been together for the past six years!"
He grumbles at the reminder and turns to watch as Jethro is brought over.

Jethro smiles as he carefully gets off Tonys back and accepts the help into a chair before tugging Leroy into a hug "I haven't seen you in ages!"
Leroy smiles as he returns the gesture "It is do good to see you Old friend!"
Tony stamps his hoof against the ground in annoyance as the Git blocks his view of his Mate. He rears up in a display of power before slamming his hooves into the ground "Get your hands off him! He doesn't belong to you anymore!" at the narrow eyed glare, he returns it with one of his own "You heard me Git!"
Jethro frowns at the odd behaviour and sighs "Tony...he is just worried and his name is Leroy...not Git" at the snort of dislike, he rolls his eyes "He is my friend and you'll have to accept him" with that he turns to Leroy "That goes for you aswell! Tony is my Mate and I won't accept another"
Leroy just stares at him before coming to a decision "If I have to accept that thing...you'll have to accept Michael as my Lover and Partner"
Jethro growls "You can have anyone...and yet you choose that skirt chaser!?"
He sighs as he rolls his eyes "He may look at others but he doesn't touch! Heck! He barely even looks anymore!"
Jethro goes to answer only to pause as a voice states
"Great! It's awake!"
