A/N: I apologize for the long wait for this chapter I've been having computer problems.
Jethro headed back to the castle carefully carrying Tony. When he arrived he moved swiftly and quietly nobody would see them. Jethro let out a sigh as he made it to Tony's room undetected. That is until he heard "Hey Jethro…."
He turned his head slightly to see that girl Abby coming his way. Abby quickly noticed Tony unconscious and bleeding even in his beast form propped up against Jethro. "What the heck happened?"
"Oh um…Tony got into a little accident. I would appreciate it if you didn't tell anyone about this. I don't want his parents to freak out about it and all."
Abby nodded slowly in understanding. "I'll go get some hot water and some towels." Abby said before racing off.
Jethro shook his head as he went inside Tony's room and carefully placed him down on his bed. Tony started coming around he looked up at Jethro eyes narrowing slowly. Abby came in with a bowl of hot water and some towels.
"Oh I forgot the bandage wrap I'll be right back!" Abby said racing out the door.
Jethro went over and dipped a towel in the hot water ringing it out before heading towards Tony. Tony growled at Jethro as he began to lick at his own wounds. Jethro just stood there towel in hand at the way Tony was reacting. Tony is acting more beastly when there isn't any sign of the beast on him.
"Don't do that." Jethro said.
Tony just growled at him as he tried to move his arm away from Jethro.
"Just hold still damn it!" Jethro said as he tried to get the towel on the wound.
Tony let out a scream as Jethro finally got the towel on his wound.
"That hurts!"
"If you'd just hold still it wouldn't hurt as much!"
"If you hadn't run off like that this wouldn't have happened."
Jethro's eyes narrowed he was seriously blaming this all on him? "I was out looking for herbs to help break this fucking curse you're under. Now hold still don't make me use a contain spell on you!" Jethro threatened.
Tony grits his teeth as Jethro placed the towel on his wound again. "By the way thank you for saving my life."
Tony turned to look at Jethro. "Hey Jet how about we check out the village here it would be fun."
"I suppose." Jethro said.
Tony let out one of his huge smiles. "Great then it's a date let's get going." Tony said getting up.
Did Tony seriously just call it a date? Jethro doubted Tony noticed what he said.
"Come on Jethro we don't want to waste the day." Tony said as he swatted his butt.
Jethro jumped unexpectedly from being swatted by Tony, Tony just chuckled at Jethro's reaction.
"You know Jethro I'm rather surprised that someone like you doesn't have a steady girlfriend or what not. I mean those bitches in Balton had no right to say what they did but you're very aesthetically pleasing any girl would be lucky to have you." Tony said now inches away from Jethro.
Tony was so close that their lips were almost touching. Just then the door opened and Abby walked in. She saw the close proximity between Tony and Jethro not to mention Jethro was blushing. Her eyes went wide at the sight. She noticed that neither of them noticed her at all as they were both staring at each other. A smile crossed her face so wide it would put the Cheshire cat to shame as she put two and two together.
She would leave the two alone for now. However, Tony was supposed to marry princess Ziva. She quietly left the room she wasn't sure what to do about this knowledge. She knew she should probably inform the king about this, but that would cause chaos and the last thing she wanted is to see the magician get into serious trouble being executed.
Tony and Jethro left the bedroom to head out into town. Abby watched them go still unsure what to do with this knowledge.
"Hey Abby what's up?" Tim asked as he came to stand next to her.
"Tim, do you think there's something going on between Tony and Jethro?"
"Like what?"
"Like they're a couple or something."
Tim laughed. "That's a good one Abby, you know as well as I do that Tony is as straight as an arrow. I think you've been reading too many yaoi novels. It's messing with your head."
"No I haven't I'm serious Tim."
"Easy Abs it's not our place to make comments anyway."
Tony and Jethro roamed the small village before stepping into a pub. Jethro was reluctant at first but Tony dragged him in anyway.
Jethro looked around it was just an ordinary pub men playing poker and drinking beer. A large stage was in the back no doubt for entertainment. Tony pulled him to a table near the stage sitting down.
A young barmaid came over. "What can I get you your highness?"
"I'll have the usual Doris. Jethro what do you want?" Tony asked.
"Nothing for me thank you."
Tony raised an eyebrow. "You can't tell me you don't drink."
"Um… well I uh have a bad liver if I drink any type of alcohol I could die." Jethro said quickly covering his tracks.
Tony nodded in understanding. "That's got to suck; hey Doris is the show going to start soon?"
"Yea should be starting anytime now." Doris said before heading off.
The curtain rose and a young woman came out and began dancing provocatively around the stage. Jethro watched the woman dance in nothing but the balloons that covered her body as she occasionally popped them revealing a bit of her skin. Jethro took a glance over at Tony to find him gone.
He found him right at the edge of the stage looking up at the woman intentionally popping her balloons to show more of her skin. The woman didn't seem to mind at all as she continued to dance. Jethro's eyes narrowed what was so special about this woman she was just a prostitute those are a dime a dozen.
Seriously why did Tony bring him here just to see some prostitute? He suddenly felt sick to his stomach as he ran to the bathroom to throw up. When he finally came back after throwing his guts up he noticed the show was over and Tony was nowhere in sight.
"Excuse me Doris? Do you know where Tony went?" Jethro asked.
"Oh yea hun he went back stage to see Ms. Jeanne." She said.
Jethro felt his inside cramp up no doubt the baby didn't like hearing that any more than he did. "Hey are you alright?" Doris asked concerned.
"I'm fine." Jethro said.
Jethro headed backstage stopping at Jeanne's dressing room where he heard voices.
"Who was that man you were with?" Jeanne asked Tony.
"Man? Oh that was Jethro a magician of sorts." Tony replied.
"How's that?"
"Mmm…Jeanne that's good you know exactly where to go to make me feel good."
"It's what I get paid for your highness."
Jethro didn't need to hear anymore he knew what was going on. Tony was having sex with some prostitute. His eyes narrowed angrily before he knew what he was doing he purposely cast a spell before storming off.
He heard Tony and Jeanne scream and Tony calling out to him, but he didn't bother to look back. He was done now. He could get a different magician to break the curse on him. Curse, he deserves being stuck as a beast.
