"SILVER!"
He flattens his ears and curls up tighter into his hiding space while listening out for his Owner. He jumps as he hears the Basement door open and lets out a small whimper at the anger he feels coming through the Bond.
Tony narrows his eyes and walks down the stairs to see if Silvers here. He checks the cupboard under the worktop and stops as he hears movement "Silver! You better show yourself!"
He sighs and tries to decide if the punishment for staying hidden is worth it...but realises it isn't. He takes a deep breath and slowly removes himself from the bottom of the boat.
Tony watches as the Tiger slinks over. When he is close enough he grabs his Collar and tugs him up the stairs "We need to get you packed and ready to leave!"
He flattens his ears and trots beside him to avoid being strangled. Once upstairs he changes forms while avoiding Tonys gaze.
He sighs and forces himself to calm down before he reaches out to stroke his bare chest "Silver...I know you don't want to go...it will only be five days till you'll be back here"
He looks up and gives him a watery smile "I-I..."
Tony frowns "What?"
He takes a breath and looks into the green eyes "I-I will b-be coming b-back?"
He sighs "That's why you have been hiding?" at Silver nod he chuckles and pulls him into a hug "Silver...you silly furball" he pulls back and strokes his face "Now listen carefully! I. Will. Never. Get. Rid. Of. You!" he pauses between each word to give him a kiss
Silver wipes his eyes "R-Really?"
Tony nods and sits him down on the bed as he sits beside him "It's only for fifty-two weeks and it will only be for five out of seven days"
Silver pulls him into a hug "Sorry for hiding...I...I suppose we better get packing"
He smiles and pulls him up "Go and have a shower"
Silver nods and heads into the bathroom.
As he walks into the room wearing nothing but a towel around his waist he stops at the sight of his 'packed' bag laying opened on their bed and flushes crimson at the look Tony gives him.
Tony smirks at the blush and shakes his head as he gestures towards the case "Any reason as to why all my clothes are in here?"
He looks at the floor "I...I wanted to take things that carry your Scent"
"Silver...I don't mind you taking a shirt or two...but you have to get used to wearing your own clothes" he watches as Silver continues looking at the floor while avoiding his gaze. He sighs and walks over "Silver...get dressed while I re-pack your case"
He nods and goes over to his wardrobe. As he puts on his demin shorts with the commandeered shirt he turns and holds up his leather Collar and cuffs set "Tony...?"
He looks up and shakes his head "No...you won't need those"
He puts them down and walks over to see what Tony has placed in his case. He waits until his back is turned to grab the grey NIS hoodie and chucks it into his case.
Tony turns just in time to spot the move and smiles "Ok, ok you can have that but no more!"
Silver nods and zips up the case but stops at the sight of the plush tiger and striped collared hippo.
Tony notices the look and shakes his head "Leave them...you will be coming back"
He looks up and nods "Ok" before following his Owner downstairs to put on his converses and into the car.
He looks at the building he is to call 'home' and wraps his tail around his middle "Tony...can't I go back home?"
Tony huffs and turns to looks at him while passing him his case "We have been through this enough times Silver...you are going to stay here and become a full NCIS Agent"
Silver sighs and glances at the floor "Ok"
He reaches out and lifts his chin so he can look into the blue eyes "Come on...lets have a look at the place"
He smiles "Yeah" and follows him in.
As they enter reception a pretty young lady smiles at them but stops at the sight of Silver "Yes? How may I help you?"
Tony gives her a dazzling smile which widens as she blushes "I take it the SecNav has informed you about a Felenico coming here to train?"
She looks through her papers and then glances at them "Yes...a Silver DiNozzo"
He smiles and gestures to Silver "Well...here he is"
Silver narrows his eyes at his Owner before stepping forward and holding out his hand "Silver DiNozzo, Ma'am"
She blushes further "Emily Wright. Pleased to make your acquaintance . She lets go of his hand and passes him a room key along with a map "Here you go"
Silver smiles "Thank You Emily" and passes it to Tony as he picks up his case before following him.
They enter a room with two beds and a shared bathroom.
As Silver begins to unpack his bag, while Tony checks out the other room, he turns as the door opens and a young man walks in who stops at the sight of him.
Silver smiles "Hey...I guess you're my room-mate"
The mans eyes widen and he gives him a hesitant smile "Y-You're a F-Felenico!?"
He answers with a raised eyebrow as he lifts his tail "Yeah...what gave it away?"
The man blushes "S-Sorry...I d-didn't mean to o-offend you"
He shrugs "It's ok" and walks over to hold out his hand "Silver DiNozzo"
The man smiles "Roger B-Bond"
"Nice to meet you Roger...er" he looks at the two beds "Mind if I take this one?" he points at the door with the best view of the only exit.
Roger slightly frowns "N-No I don't m-mind"
Silver cocks his head to one side "Do you always stutter?"
He gives him a small smile "A-Always have done"
They both turn as Tony enters "Hey Silver...who's your friend?"
Silver smiles and turns to face his Mate "Tony, this is Roger Bond...my Room-mate". He then turns to face Roger "Roger, this is Tony DiNozzo...my Owner"
Tony looks him up and down before stepping forward and shaking his hand "Nice to meet you"
Roger smiles back "N-Nice to meet y-you too"
Silver watches them before shaking his head to continue with his unpacking but stops as he hears Tonys mobile go off
"DiNozzo"
He cocks his head to one side as a shocked expression crosses Tonys face
"Ok I'll be there in five" he shuts his mobile and gives Silver an apologetic look "Sorry but we've caught a Case and I need to be there"
Silver gives him a small shrug "Can't be helped...but you'll pick me up Sat?"
Tony smiles and pulls him into a hug "You bet...I'll miss you"
He nods and buries his face into the crook of his neck, inhaling the Scent he associates with safety and love "Bye Tony"
He turns and kisses his forehead "Bye Silver" and with that he opens the door and leaves, while refusing to look back as he discreetly wipes his face from the tears that form.
Silver watches him go with a heavy heart and closes the door once he can no longer spot Tony. He lifts a hand and wipes his eyes before straightening up and continuing getting unpacked as he wants his Owner to be proud of him.
