Gunny curls up tighter in Tonys lap and beings to rock only to calm as Tony gives him his fingers to suck while he argues with the Doctor
"Why? He isn't dangerous and he isn't broken...it's like Tim and Doctor Mallard said, Jethro has built walls around his mind to protect himself! He just needs the encouragement and patience to allow him to slowly knock them down!"
The Doctor sighs "Tony...it has been two weeks since you have come here, he hasn't shown any signs of improvement...also we have found that he has suffered some head trauma that could make him turn aggressive! It might also explain as to why he switches off at times. It's for his own Safety that he'd be put into the Psychiatric Ward or a Mental Institution"
Tony shakes his head as he tugs him closer "No! He hasn't attacked anyone! He'll be Safe with me"
Gunny looks up and smiles as Tony strokes his face "Gunny is Tonys?"
He nods as he leans down to kiss the top of his head "Yes...Jethro is Tonys" with that he looks up with a glare "Am I fit to leave?" at the mans nod he gently moves Jethro off his lap as he gets changed "Fine. We are leaving"
The Doctor moves to block his path "You are fit to leave...but I'm not ok with Jethro going"
Tony turns and growls at the man "Myself and My Lover are leaving! He is fine!"
Gunny begins to rock (What's going on? Why doesn't the Doctor want me to go? Why is Tony angry? What have I done?) he quickly goes over everything which has happened since he has arrived here through his head and jumps as someone touches him before he scrambles into position "Thank-You...now take your payment"
He glances at the Doctor with teary eyes as he continues to stroke the slightly trembling mans back "He isn't a danger to anyone or himself...I'm taking him home and if you refuse to let us go...I will not be responsible for my actions" with that he turns back back and slowly moves him back into a sitting position "We're going home Jethro"
He looks up and smiles while letting Tony help him into a shirt "Gunny go home?"
Tony nods and bends down to help him into a pair of trousers followed by his socks and shoes before quickly getting changed himself "Come on...lets go"
Gunny nods and jumps off the bed to follow him, avoiding going anywhere near the angry Doctor, out of the Hospital and into Tonys Mustang.
He turns to glance at the man currently asleep in his bed before turning to the phone "I can't come in Captain...Jethro still isn't right and I can't leave him"
"DiNozzo...you have used all your holiday time and sick leave...either you come in or you'll end up outta Work"
Tony runs a hand through his hair "I can't...I'm Sorry but I just can't leave him"
He hears an answering sigh and then "Ok, I shall put it through as an Resignation and you'll get a Reference...I'm Sorry it has come to this"
He nods "Me too...My Brother will be round to collect my stuff"
"Ok, I'll get Stan to box it up for ya..."
"Thanks Captain"
"You're Welcome Tony" with that the line goes dead.
Tony stares at the blank screen and sighs before calling Tim
"McGee"
"Hey Tim...is the Job offer still going for your place?"
"Er...yeah we still have an opening...you interested"
He walks over and gently strokes Jethros hair, chuckling as he arches into the caress before answering "Yeah, although...on one condition"
"What is it?"
"Abby needs an Assistant...can you...you get Jethro the Job?" silence greets him and he bites his bottom lip as he begins to worry "Tim? Tim you still there?"
"Yeah, Sorry about that...I've just had words with Abby and she has agreed"
He lets out a sigh of relief as he lays down, smirking as Jethro crawls closer and settles across his chest before letting out a sigh of contentment. He watches him for a few minutes before turning back to the phone "Thanks Tim...I owe you"
"Think nothing of it...you both start next Mon"
Tony smiles "Bye Tim"
"Bye Tony"
He cuts off the phone and leans down to kiss the top of the silver strands "I want you to come back to me Jethro...you need to venture out behind those walls" with that thought in mind he lets himself drift not noticing that Jethro isn't asleep.
Gunny waits a while before moving into a sitting position and looks down (I'll try Tony...for you I'll try). He looks around the room and pauses as he spots his Photo, he glances at the sleeping man as he reaches out to pick it up. A small smile crosses his face as he spots the happiness on a younger picture of himself and he runs his fingers across the picture before replacing it back onto the beside table. He looks down as he gently strokes along the sleeping mans chest "I'll try...for you Tony...I'll try" he jumps as the body arches into the caress only to chuckle as arms wrap themselves around his middle to tug him down so he is laying across his chest
"Love you Jethro"
He snuggles closer "Love you too Tony" he nuzzles the slightly furry chest "Love you too" with that he joins him in sleep.
