A frown crosses his face as something is wrapped around his neck and he slowly opens a sleepy eye "To...ny?"
"Morning, Sleeping Beauty"
Jethro rolls his eyes before stretching himself out with a yawn, once finished he curls back up and attempts to drift off again.
Tony smirks as he runs his fingers through the short silver mane "You planning to sleep the day away?"
The Liger growls and curls up tighter "Trying to"
Tony huffs but smiles as he runs the tip of his finger against the leather Collar, playfully narrowing his eyes as he taps the buckle with a blunt claw.
Jethro frowns at the sound and lifts a hand to batter Tonys away but pauses as he feels something around his neck. He shifts off his Mate and turns to the mirror...only to still in shock at the forest green Collar adawn his neck "What the!?"
The Canine wags his tail as he presses up against Jethros back and licks his cheek while wrapping his arms around the stunned Felines waist "So? You like...?"
He just stares at it "Tony...this is permanent...it's a Marriage!" he shakes his head as he pulls away and removes the leather from his neck "I'm not ready for that"
Tony flattens his ears and hugs his knees "Y-You don't want me then?"
Jethro flattens his own while wrapping his tail around his waist "No I..." he sighs as he gazes at it (Do you really not want to be his? And him yours? Together forever?) at that thought, a smile crosses his face as a deep purr escapes his chest.
He moves forward and curls himself around him "Well then...it looks like I need to get you one"
Tony snaps his head up and wags his tail in excitement "You...are you agreeing to me mine?"
He nods and strokes the Alsatians face "Yes...and you shall be mine in return" he yelps in shock as Tony pounces on him and he sighs as he pushes him away "Careful! I'm still not 100%!"
He pulls back and licks the striped cheek "So...will you wear it? Or do you want to wait until we get mine?"
Jethro frowns before looking away in shame "I can't afford to get you a Collar yet" with that he turns away "Maybe in a year or two? Can you wait?"
Tony smiles and gently tugs his chin "Jethro...I'll pay for it, as long as you choose one" he leans forward and gently kisses him before standing and digging through his worn clothes, sniffing each item before nodding "Put these on"
Jethro cringes as the Scent of Canine assaults his nose and he shakes his head "They stink!"
He rolls his eyes "That's the point! You smell like a Feline!"
The Feline looks at him in amusement "Well duh"
Tony huffs "Just put them on! So we can pop to Town and get me a Collar"
Jethro stills as he tugs on the red Ohio hoodie "Town? As in a Town full of Canines!?"
Tony turns at the Scent of fear and whines as he presses close to his Mate "I know you are scared bu-"
A snarl escapes his chest "I'm NOT scared" with that he gets dressed into the stinky clothes and storms out of the room "Coming DiNozzo!?"
He scrambles up and quickly gets dressed "Jethro!? Jethro wait!"

He nervously presses closer to Tony as they pass some very, very big Canines and he wraps his tail tighter around his middle.
Tony spots the move and smiles as he takes his hand "David and Graham are Great Danes...they are practically the tallest Canines around"
Jethro nods but keeps his head down as they pass the Dogs that attacked him yesterday
"Hey Tony! You up for a game?"
Tony shakes his head "Sorry Michael, but I've got to visit Jessie's"
The Canines all look up and frown at one another
"The Collar Store?"
"Who you Collaring?"
Jethro growls as they head over and smirks as they pause in hesitation at his warning growl
"Who's your friend?"
Tony huffs while stepping protectively infront of his frightened Mate "Look guys...I'm busy!" with that he gently guides Jethro in the other direction.
Michael huffs and goes to tug the hood down, only to yelp in shock as he is bitten. He cradles his hand while flattening his ears "He bit me!"
Dans ears prick up as he sniffs the air "Hey Guys! I can smell a Feline!"
Jethro growls and retracts his claws but forces himself to calm down as Tony gives him a pleading look. He rolls his eyes before storming off in the vague direction of the Store while ignoring the uncomfortable way his tail is wrapped around his waist as he hides it from view.
Tony watches him go and sighs as he turns to his Frat Brothers "Thanks Guys! First time he has come here...and you upset him!"
Michael snorts while licking his hand "He's mean! He bit me!"
He rolls his eyes "He thought you were going to attack him!" with that he turns his back on them and heads off to find a pissed Jethro.
Jethro smiles as he finds the Store and heads inside, only to pause at the sight of a Canine in a beige coloured Uniform. He pricks his ears while cocking his head to oneside as he moves closer and gazes at the coloured ribbons pinned on the Pitbulls chest. He starts as a deep voice states
"You like what you see?"
He looks up but quickly drops his gaze at the look of shock while mumbling "Sorry" he goes to leave but gets stopped by a hand on his shoulder
"Hey, I didn't mean to startle you" the Pitbull glances around before whispering "I won't mention what you are"
Jethro hesitantly looks up, smiling as he only spots truth in the brown eyes "So...er...about your question" he nods "I-I like"
The Pitbull smirks "You want to be a Marine then?" at the look of uncertainty, he chuckles as he drops his voice "Marines are for both Canines and Felines"
He looks up in excitement "Really? How do I Enrol?"
The Marine smiles "Come and see me, I'm four doors down from this place. Ask for Tom"
Jethro nods and watches him go (A Marine! A place where I would be accepted!). He turns and smiles as Tony finally catches up.
Tony frowns at the look of longing and shrugs as he takes his hand before tugging him over to the Collars "What one?"
The Feline snaps himself out of the thought of himself in the beige Uniform and gazes at the leather. He shakes his head at the shades of blues "I want you to have one that matches my eyes...like the way mine matches yours"
He cocks his ears forward and nods "Yes! So when I glance at it...I shall think of you?"
Jethro blushes and nods "Yeah, as I shall do the same" he glances around and stills as he spots an iced blue one "There! I-I think that matches!" with that he takes his hand and leads him over "What do you think?"
Tony looks it over and nods "Yes...perfect" he wags his tail at the pleased look and leans forward to steal a kiss before purchasing the Collar while Jethro waits outside.
Jethro gazes at the Recruitment Office and nods as he knows Tony is going to be a while...so he heads in to Enrol.

Tony frowns as he glances around and cocks his head to one side as Jethro runs up to him "Where did you go?"
The Liger rolls his eyes "Nowhere...can we go back to yours?" he gives him a flirty smile "So we can put on our Collars?"
Tony wags his tail and licks his lips in excitement "C-Can we do the full Ceremony?"
Jethro nods "I'm ready Tony...lets Mate"
The Canine barks in joy and practically drags Jethro all the way back to his house not noticing the bag, with the Marines logo, in the Felines hand.
