A great thank you to Gerri for the Chapter Title. *hugs*

"Ethan, I'm home!", I yelp when the blond twink shouts the name out loud.
For fucks sake, keep it quite man. My ears are bleeding from your shout right now!
To tell him a piece of my mind I bark, but before I have his full attention, I hear a mew from the middle of the room and growl, when I recognize from WHAT it's coming from.
This just has to be a nightmare.
Anytime I think it can't get worse, it does.
I turn around to Blondie and tilt my head.
"You're kidding, right kid?", I say and Blondie looks at me with a raised eyebrow.
Okay, for a moment I forgot that I was a dog and actually tried to talk to my "owner".
Who - of course - only heard me bark.
But back to why I was growling.
"Oh no! Now that little intruder definitely overstepped his bounds.", the grey cat walks closer to me and my growl gets some nuances deeper.
Stay the fuck away from me.
I don't want to get anything you may carry around with you!
Just as I want to jump forward to grab that cat around the neck I feel hands patting my ears and I calm down.
Yeah, just a little bit more to the left.
Yeah, right there.
"Cooper, I want you to meet Wolfram von Eschenbach.", the blond, I think his name was Justin, says and I swear I can see the mischief in his eyes.
Why in gods name did he name that cat with a title when he finds it as ridiculous as I do?
I bark and growl again at the cat.
"Be nice, he's my boyfriends cat. Or at least be nice to Wolfram as long as Ethan is around.", he whispers in my ear, and I bark to show him that I understand.
Otherwise he wouldn't get any tonight huh?
I mean, if his boyfriend is such a freak about that damn cat, what will he say about a dog?
I don't think he will like it much.
I certainly wouldn't.
Justin lets the necklace off my neck, I roll my head and walk forward.
Directly in front of the cat.
"Back off Pussycat.", I growl and the cat looks up at me with an arrogant bow of his head and tail.
"Excuse me, Puppy, but I was here before you and I certainly will still be here on my cozy pillow after you and that blond intruder are looong gone. You are going to go straight back to the animal shelter with no one to love you, and the human... Well, wherever the hell he came from.", I swear to god, if I would still have my human face I would raise an eyebrow right now.
What the hell, does he think he is?
And what the hell will this Ethan guy be like?
I just decide to ignore that cat.
For the first time since I entered the small flat I look around, and I'm totally disgusted.
How the fuck could somebody live in this.. this... dumpster?
°*°*°*°*°*°
Justin bit the inside of his cheek when he saw the reaction of Cooper toward his Boyfriend's cat.
He just knew that the dog couldn't stand the cat.
He went over to the couch and took off his coat, but not before he scratched his dog behind the ears again.
Somehow he had the feeling that the dog could need a little gentle attention.
Since he found him in the animal shelter he felt somehow connected to the dog.
More then he ever felt connected to Ethan, or any other man for that matter.
He let himself fall down on the old sofa, sighed and moved a little to the left so that the spring couldn't hurt him more in his already hurt back from the broken mattress.
Just as he wanted to close his eyes he felt a warm spot on his trousers, and as he looked down on himself he could see why.
Cooper had laid his head on his thighs...
He opened his eyes wide when he saw what his dog had in his mouth.
"Where the hell did you find it?", he shouted but the dog only opened his mouth to let the canvas drop to the floor and barked.
With that said the dog tugged at his trouser leg and Justin followed the dog to the storeroom.
Justin smiled and looked at the canvas again.
Drawn on the canvas where a pair of eyes and dick doodles.
Again he bit the inside of his cheek.
How stupid he had been when he was younger.
He really had done scatches of the dick of the guy who he lost his virginity to
It was quite funny to say the least.
'I couldn't remember the guy's name or face, but his dick.', he thought to himself and shook his head.
Just as Justin wanted to put the canvas back into the storeroom Wolfram jumped forward to jump on the canvas, but before he had a chance to come closer to the drawing Cooper stepped forward and snarled at Wolfram.
°*°*°*°*°*
"Don't you dare come near that drawing.", I growl at the cat and snarl.
"Why are you so overprotective about that damned picture? It's a human cock he drew. It's just gross.", Mister von Eschenbach purrs and I shiver.
"It doesn't matter what's on the canvas! It belongs to Justin, so back off!", I step closer to Wolfram and finally he backs off.
"You have to leave sooner or later. Ethan can't stand dogs. Especially one that is as ugly as you are.", that's it cat. You just overstepped your bounds.
I jump and my paw lands at the neck of the cat. One swift move and Mister von Eschenbach is yawning like he's dying.
"Cooper! Stop it!", with that I feel a hand tightly clinging around my neck.
Fuck that hurts. I yelp and sit down.
The cat runs away to his cat tree and sat down on the top of it and looks down at me with an arrogant expression in his eyes.
"Yeah you smirk asshole. Next time there won't be a human to rescue you, and that's a given.", I grumble and for Justin it sounds as I would continue to yelp and so he let's loose of my neck.
"Okay Cooper, so before Ethan comes home, the two of us go for a walk in the park. On the walk you also can calm down.", Justin whispers in my ear and just when he finished the sentence I feel the collar around my neck again.
I roll my eyes.
He doesn't really need that thing for me.
It's not that I could actually run away without getting caught again.
Justin tugs at the leash and off we are.
