He stretches himself out before snuggling back into the warm pillow...but pauses as he realises that his pillow is breathing. His eyes snap open and he flattens his ears as he glances up to spot sleepy green eyes gazing down at him
"Hey, Sleeping Beauty"
Jethro rolls his eyes at the term and goes to pull away, only to be tugged closer and cringes as a slobbery tongue licks his cheek "TONY!"
The Canine chuckles as he releases the Feline "What do you want to do today?" he gets up and wags his tail in excitement "We can watch more TV? Or play football? Or-"
Jethro holds up a hand to stop him "I've got to head home...Dad will be worried" he cringes as he realises that Jack will also scold him for biting Ed.
Tony pouts and gives him is best kicked puppy look.
He rolls his eyes with a huff "I might be able to return later? Or tomorrow?" with that he gets off the bed and puts his clothes back on "I'm Sorry Tony...but I need to let him know that I'm ok"
Tony whines but sighs as he nods "I understand, can I at least get your number?" at the confused look, he grabs his mobile "Phone number?"
Jethro lowers his gaze "Er...it's at home...still in the box as well-" he huffs and wraps his tail around his middle "-no-one wants a Halfbreeds number" he looks up at the feeling of strong arms wrapping around him and he closes his eyes as he leans back into the warmth, but pulls away "I would give you my number...if I could"
Tony smirks and pulls away to scribble on a piece of paper before handing it over and getting dressed "My number...text me when you get home?"
Jethro nods while folding the paper and places it into his pocket "Come on then!" with that he follows Tony out of the house and back to his boat.
As he reaches his side of the lake, he turns back to gaze at a lonely figure on the other side. A shiver of excitement runs through him as he hears Tonys long howl over the breeze and he lifts a hand to wave before running home.

He freezes as his attempt to sneaks upstairs fails when his Father grabs his tail before tugging him into a tight hug. He growls as his face is smothered into his Dads thick salt n pepper mane and he huffs before going limp
"LEROY! I was so worried! Charles had been round to complain about you fighting with his Son Chuck and biting Ed, I waited up all night for you to return and-" he stops as an odd Scent reaches his nose and he loosens his grip before sniffing at his Son.
Jethro cringes at the deep growl and flattens his ears as his Fathers thick mane puffs out
Jack slits his eyes as he opens his mouth to get a strong smell of the Scent "Where exactly have you been!?"
He wraps his tail around his middle "I went on my boat, after the run in with Chuck and Ed attacked me..."
"And...?"
Jethro flattens his ears and shrugs "I ended up on the other side of the Lak-" he yelps as he is suddenly crushed into another hug before being pushed back and he growls as his Dad checks him over
"You managed to escape!? The Canines let you go!?"
He frowns "Nothing happened...I saw a pup struggling and he ended up capsizing my boat-" he shrugs "-I helped him back to land and he offered me a place to get dry, of where I feel asleep" at the way his Dad has suddenly tensed up, he nervously moves from foot to foot "Dad...?"
Jack snaps out of his thoughts and snarls "You are NEVER to step foot on that side of the Lake EVER again!" he grabs his Sons shoulders and viscously shakes him "NEVER!"
He lets out a whimper as he tries to break the hold "Let go! You are hurting me!" as the hold is loosened, he tugs himself free and slits his eyes with a growl of his own "I go where I please! And it's nothing to do with you!"
The Lion narrows his eyes before backhanding his Son "If I ever catch you on that side...you will be in serious Shit! Because if the Canines don't rip you apart...I will!" he growls at the look of defiant and points up the stairs "Now go to your room!"
Jethro fights back the tears as he holds his cheek, he slits his eyes as he hisses at his Father before running up the stairs and slaming his door shut.
Jack sighs as he stares in the direction that his Son has disapleared to and shakes out his mane before glancing at a photo of his dead Love "Anne...you were so much better at understanding Leroy than I..." he huffs and runs a hand through his fur before deciding to let himself and Leroy calm down and then he shall make it up to him.
Jethro slits his eyes with a deep growl as his Dad opens the door to his room.
Jack sighs as he moves into the room and sits on the end of the bed before passing Leroy his dinner.
The Liger growls but accepts the food without a word.
He huffs and shakes out his mane "I'm Sorry Leroy...I shouldn't have lashed out at you" he goes quiet as he takes a mouthful of food and once he swallows, he continues "You're the only thing I have of Anne...I look at you and it's like she's still here-" he smirks "-but the stubbornness is from me"
Jethro flattens his ears before huffing "Dad, I know Canines are dangerous...but so are some Felines!" he holds up a hand "I didn't mean to go over there...the pup was struggling and would have drowned!" he shrugs "I couldn't let that happen!" with that he flicks his Dads leg with his striped tufted tail "I reckon I get that from you" at the smile, he rolls his eyes "Can we stop with the sappy talk?"
Jack chuckles and nods "Yeah...we good?" at the smirk, he sighs in relief and continues eating but pauses as he notices the mobile on the side. He pricks his ears up and gestures to the phone "You finally decided to use that?"
Jethro shrugs "It would have stopped you worrying if I had it with me" he sighs and flattens his ears "Problem is...I can't figure it out!"
He laughs at the look of hatred that Leroy gives the small object and shakes his head "Pass it here" with that he takes it and spends the rest of the evening showing his Son all the important things and how to work it before getting him to tidy up the Store as he sorts out the takings.

He smiles as he sits on his bed and texts Tony
-Hey Tony! It's Jethro! The Liger-
He bites his bottom lip as he waits for a reply and curls his tail in happiness as his mobile vibrates
~Hey! U finally txt me! I thought u weren't gonna :)~
Jethro frowns at the odd thing at the end and sighs before texting
-What is :)?-
~...it's a smile, turn phone/your head on its side~
A chuckle escapes his chest as he spots it and lays down in bed
-Ha! I see!-
~Yup! So wot u doin now?~
-Laying in bed and texting you-
~Oooo! Wot u wearing?~
He frowns before replying
-Nothing, I sleep naked-
~8} I wish I was there!~
After turning his head to one side, to check out the smile, he cringes at the thought of him meeting his Dad and shakes his head
-My Dad wouldn't like that! He isn't happy that I spent the night on your side of the Lake!-
~Shit! Did u get in much trouble?~
A shiver runs through him as he thinks back to his Dads anger
-Yeah, he was pissed! He banned me from going back-
~8'( but u promised!~
A sigh escapes his chest and he rolls his eyes
-I never break them Tony! I promise that I'll teach you to swim and I will do! But I shall have to make sure Dad doesn't find out-
~Yay! XD~
A noise from outside his door makes him pause and then he sighs
-I'm going to sleep now, I'll head over first thing?-
~I've got my Fratbros over, but they b gone 2moro! C u then x~
Jethro chuckles as he gets comfortable and replies
-Night Tony-
With that he drifts off with a smile on his lips as he dreams about teaching the Canine to swim.
