Tony frowns as his ear twitches before he nuzzles his Mates neck and yawns as he presses closer to the warm body.
Jethro slowly wakes up and smiles as he licks Tonys cheek...but stills as he Scents home. His ears flatten against his skull as he gets up and looks around "Shit!" he quickly searches for their clothes and shoves the hoodie onto his Mate while looking around.
The Canine yelps at the rude awakening and growls as he is roughly dressed. He glares at his Mate before huffing and slapping the hands away from himself as he gets dressed. He cocks his head to one side at the Scent of the Felines worry and he lets out a whine "What's wrong?"
Jethro looks around "The boat has become beached...we are on the Feline side with no way to return to your side of the lake!"
Tony wags his tail in excitement "I can see where you live?"
The Feline flattens his ears in annoyance "My Dad would kill you without thought! He hates Canines...ever since he was a Kitten and almost killed by a Pack of Dogs"
His tail stills and he nervously licks his lips "So...what shall we do?"
Jethro huffs and slowly gets out of the boat before helping out his Mate "I have no choice but to attempt to hide you"
Tony follows with his tail inbetween his legs "H-How big is your Dad? You said that Felines grow slower...so just how big is he?"
He shrugs "He is just slightly taller with a full mane" he glances behind him and sighs at the fear within the green eyes "Tony...you shall be fine" with that he takes his hand and tugs him close "Do you trust me?"
Tony nods "Yes...with my Life"
A smile crosses his face as he gives him a kiss "Thank-You...now stay close" with that they make their way silently through the town and to the Store.

He checks the Store and flicks his tail as he whispers "All clear" he turns with a jump at the sound of crash and slits his eyes in anger at the mess the Canine has created
"Oops" he leans down and picks up the fallen pots and pans "Sorry"
Jethro huffs and helps him tidy "Just try to be careful" at the nod, he smirks and licks his cheek "For me?"
Tony smiles and wags his tail...only to still as he hears the door open "Shit!" with that he scarpers up and hides behind his Mate.
The Liger whines and pushes Tony into the shadows just as his Dad walks in.
Jack pauses at the sight of his Son and smiles as he walks up to him before tugging him into a hug "You never told me you were coming home Leroy!"
Jethro rolls his eyes as he attempts to get out of his Dads hold "Let me go!"
The Feline laughs and releases him "You were never one for affect-" he stops as he catches an odd Scent "What is that?"
Tony stills as the massive Feline heads towards him and he flattens his ears as he presses further into the shadows (Shit! He is huge!).
Jethro cringes as his Dad moves closer to his hidden Mate. He bites his bottom lip and states the first thing that comes to mind "I'm joining the Marines!"
Jack stills and turns to face his Son "What...?"
The Liger shrugs "I'm joining the Marines...I start training in a few weeks time and I have signed up for a five year Tour"
The Lion snarls in anger, tinged with worry, as he slits his eyes "Canines are in the Marines! If you wanted to help serve the Country...why didn't you join the Air Force!?"
Jethro snarls back "Because they wouldn't accept me!" his anger goes as he gazes at the floor while flattening his ears "I-I tried signing up for the Air Force...but got turned down because I am a Hybrid...a Halfbreed" he folds his arms across his chest in a defensive gesture "They only accept 'pure pedigree' Felines"
Jack sighs as his anger also disappears and he shakes his head as he gently tugs his docile Son into his arms while letting out a soothing purr "Ok, Son. Just...just be careful of the Canines, they can't be trusted!"
He nods as he hugs his Father back before pulling away as the bell on the door goes, signalling that someone has entered the Store. He gives his Dad a small smile and watches him go before heading over to his trembling Mate.
Tony nervously licks his lips and presses against the Liger while whispering "He is huge!"
Jethro rolls his eyes and takes his Mates hand, tugging him close before leading him upstairs and into his Bedroom.

He huffs as he watches the Canine wagging his tail as he checks out his room and shakes his head as he sits on his bed. As Tony is busy investigating his car magazine, he opens up the leaflet the Recruitment Officer gave him as he has a read as to what he has signed up for.
Tony huffs as he drops the magazine and goes to ask if there is something else to read...only to pause at the look of wonder on his Mates face. He cocks his head to one side and crawls onto the bed, pressing up against the Ligers back as he peers over his shoulder "Sniper Training? That's what you want to do?"
Jethro nods as he continues reading "My fur isn't exactly the right shade for sneaking up unnoticed...but I have also put myself down for Close-Combat Training aswell" he turns his head and licks his Mates muzzle "I know that we have only just Collared one another...and now I am off for a five year Tour...but when I come back I shall be twenty-two and fully grown" a smile crosses his face "I'll finally have my mane!"
Tony smiles and nuzzles the short tuft of silver fur "Yeah? I'll be twenty-one and...well, slightly bigger" with that he gives him a lopsided smile before licking his cheek "Five years is a long time...but I shall wait"
The Feline smirks and kisses him back before pulling away "Come, lets get that Canine stink off you"
The Alsatian flattens his ears "But...I am a Canine?"
Jethro shakes his head as he leads him into the small Bathroom "I'm Sorry that is small..."
Tony shrugs as he strips out of his clothes before stripping his Mate "Come, we'll both fit in"
A smile crosses his face as he allows his Mate to tug him into the shower.
Once they are both clean, Jethro slaps the wandering hands as he passes Tony some of his clothes before getting himself dressed...but pauses as the Canines stomach growls. He raises an eyebrow "I take it you are hungry?"
Tony smirks and shrugs "I'm still growing"
A sigh escapes his chest "Stay in here, I'll go get us something to eat" with that he picks up their dirty clothes and heads downstairs.
Jack looks up as his Son enters the Kitchen and smirks "Stew is almost ready"
"Thanks Dad" with that he begins cleaning the clothes. He turns at a shocked gasp and frowns at his Dads wide eyed look "What?"
The older Feline slowly moves forward with wet eyes and hesitantly reaches out to stroke his Sons Collar "You...you accepted anothers Collar?"
Jethro shrugs as his cheeks heat up "It's no big deal...he loves me and I love him"
Jack frowns but smiles "He? What is the lucky Felines name?"
The Liger lowers his gaze as his cheeks go an even darker shade of crimson "His name is Tony"
"And Breed?"
Jethro huffs "Does it matter? Does it really matter as to which Breed loves me as much as I love him?"
Jack flattens his ears as his Sons defences go up and he shakes his head as he tugs him into a hug "No...no it doesn't" with that he kisses his cheek before releasing him "Heck, I wouldn't care if it was a Sphinx you fell for! Anything is better than a Canine!" he chuckles at the thought "As if you'd ever fall for one of those mangy Mutts!"
He gives his Dad a false smile as he holds out his bowl "Yeah...well, I'm headed upstairs" he waits until his Dad nods before heading up to his room to his hungry Mate.
