(A Week Later)
Gibbs yawns and stretches out his back, his tail curling over his back while his mane fluffs out before he shakes himself and stands "Well, Detective DiNozzo...looks like the Case is all wrapped up and I'm no longer needed here"
Danny growls as he snorts "Good riddance"
The Feline curls his lip but doesn't rise to the bait as he collects his things before turning to Tony, holding out a hand "Good Job"
Tony gives him a sad smile as he shakes the offered hand "You too"
Jethro nods and leaves the office before heading out the building.
The Alsatian watches him go and whines as he flattens his ears in distress.
Danny frowns at the sound and turns to his Partner "You...you want that Feline to stay? You seriously want a piece of that tail!?"
Tony growls and glares at his Partner "So...what if I do? What if I like Felines! What if I like Jethro and what if I say I'd Collar him if given the chance!?"
The whole building goes quiet and stares at Detective in shock tinged with disgust.
Tony snarls and glares at everyone before grabbing his badge and heads to the Chief, quitting his job and leaves the building while ignoring the dirty looks he receives...not noticing the ice blues watching him from the shadows.
+NCIS+
Tony jumps as a brick is thrown through his window and he sighs as he shakes his head "Time to move on, I think" with that he packs his stuff and leaves his Flat...but freezes at the sight of the Liger.
Jethro nods and gestures to his car "Follow me in your car...you can stay at my place while you get yourself sorted" with that he flicks his tail before getting into his Challenger.
The Canine yaps in excitement at the offer and quickly jumps into his Mustang, chucking his bags in the passenger seat as he follows behind the fast yellow car.
Jethro growls to himself as he calls on his contacts, smirking to himself as he pictures the look on that Pugs face, along with all the other Cops who discriminate against his kind...and who all turned on Tony "Never mess with a Felines Mate!" but pauses as he cocks his head to one side while driving on autopilot (Do I still see Tony as my Mate? Dad did explain about what really happened...but can you let him back into your heart?) he sighs and switches lanes to overtake a slow driver before huffing and shaking his head (You're offering him a place to stay while he finds a new job and a new place to live! That's all!). He sighs as he runs a hand along his Collarless neck (You want him though...this past week, working with him and sharing his Flat has shown you that he still loves you and that you still love him) he shakes his head "This is becoming like a Furry Romance..." he chuckles at the idea of this being like the movies and smirks as he concentrates on the road.
Tony gazes at the house which Jethro has parked outside of and quickly parks behind him while getting out of his Mustang. He glances around and smiles as he turns to the Feline "So, this is your home?"
Jethro nods and gestures for him to follow before entering the house. He heads for the Kitchen and grabs two cups "Fancy a coffee?"
"Er...yeah, thanks"
He nods and makes the drinks before carrying them through into the Living-Room "There's a spare Bedroom upstairs, Nigel has recently moved out and your welcome to take his room until you have found yourself somewhere to live"
Tonys smile falters and he lowers his gaze "Oh...well...er I better put my stuff away and...er well-" he shrugs and grabs his bag "Which room?"
"Second on the right" he watches him head upstairs before sighing and taking a seat on the sofa, grabbing his mobile and checks through his contacts before calling an old friend
"Fornell"
Jethro chuckles "Hiya Toby, I got an offer for ya"
A chuckle replies "Hey LJ, whats the offer? Don't forget that you owe me dinner!"
The Liger smirks as his tail flickers in delight "Yeah I know, anyway...I have found you the perfect Team Member, an old friend of mine"
Tobias sighs "Jethro...I've been told by my Boss that I need to have a Canine on my Team, as its bad for PR to have so many Felines here"
Jethro rolls his eyes "Toby, he is a Canine, an Alsation to be clear...it's Tony, Anthony DiNozzo"
"The Tony!? The one who broke your heart all those years ago!?"
A sigh escapes his chest "Yeah, the very same...but all is forgiven and he needs a job" he cringes "But I'd rather not have him working at NCIS and well-" he shrugs "-the FBI is better than the CIA or the DIA"
Laughter echos through line "Yeah, ok then...I'll pop round tomorrow for that dinner you owe me and I'll check him out, if all is well he could have a job"
"Thanks Tobias"
"No sweat, Jethro" with that the line goes dead.
Jethro smiles, chucking his mobile onto the table before heading into the Kitchen and grabbing two steaks.
Tony sighs as he softly strokes the broken leather of the ice blue Collar and flattens his ears "I want you back...why won't you take me back?" he shakes his head before rubbing away the tears that threaten to fall as he places the broken Collar on the table beside his temporary bed. He gets up and puts the rest of his stuff away in the chest of drawers before heading downstairs...and pauses at the scent of food. He licks his lips and follows his nose, leaning against the Liger as he groans "That smells wonderful!"
Jethro smirks and playfully nudges him "Come on, give me some room! Unless you want your one burnt?"
The Canine cringes and quickly gives him some room, watching as Jethro places the juicy steaks onto two plates and smiles as he is handed one "Thank-You, Jethro...for the place to stay"
Jethro nods and hands him a beer before digging in "It's only fair, considering I was the reason you resigned and had to move" he shrugs "Also, I have a friend coming round tomorrow...he has a space on his Team and well...I sorta mentioned you need a job"
Tony cocks his ears forward before flatting them "But I..."
The Feline shakes his head and looks away "No Tony...I won't feel comfortable with you working at NCIS"
The Canine nods and lowers his gaze to his empty plate "Ok Jethro...I shall see what this friend of yours has to offer" he gives him a hesitant smile "I-I know that you still don't trust me with your heart...but...but can we be f-friends?"
Jethro smiles and stands, taking Tonys plate with him as he heads for the Kitchen "Yes Tony...we are friends and...and I have forgiven you for the Past" with that he washes up the plates before heading upstairs "Come on, lets turn in for the night"
Tony smiles and wags his tail as he follows the Liger upstairs. At the top, he hesitantly smiles at him and holds out a hand "Night Jethro"
Jethro smirks and accepts the handshake "Night Tony" with that they head to their separate Bedrooms for the night.
