The first thing he noticed was that it was quiet, then it was the fact Lucy was completely gone.
Where was his favorite person and personal butt scratcher?
He trotted over to Tim's room, wondering where his other owner was.
The door was still almost shut- like hours before- but the silence from before was replaced with quiet sobs. Nuzzling his nose against the door to open it, he trotted up to the side of the bed.
Noticing Tim still in the clothes from nights before, he hops onto the bed. Normally, Tim would tell him to get down, but today was different. Tim hadn't moved, and didn't seem to notice that Kojo was in there.
"S-she's gone, Ko." Tim chokes, curling tighter into a ball, "But, it's the best for her right?"
Kojo tilts his head.
"God, I'm talking to a dog." He laughs wetly, "She's probably better off without me. I screwed up, and this is what I get."
Kojo shuffles around the bed, then lies closely to Tim's back.
"I deserve this." He shakes his head.
Kojo does the only thing he can think of, and barks.
Tim turns to face him, his eyes reddened and clearly tired.
He shakes his head, grumbling, "I'm putting to much thought into this..."
He curls back to his ball, the two laying side by side.
Man and his best friend- his ex-girlfriends dog.

"How trustable are the LAPD Background checks?"
He perks at the voice, recognizing it instantly. He would trot over, but he wants to finis-
Actually? No.
He turns toward the door, trotting over to his favorite human.
"Oh, hey baby..." Lucy smiles, scratching his butt, "I've missed you."
He wags his tail happily.
"Feelings mutual." Tim smiles at her, and Kojo stops his tail-wagging abruptly.
This time is reserved for her attention, and I get it.
Lucy stood up, standing awkwardly with between him and Tim.
"I'm gonna..."
"Yeah, uh, I'll walk you out."
Lucy smiles brighter, "Thanks."
Kiss and make up. Please.
They walk out the door, leaving him behind.
Damn it.

Lucy shows up on their doorstep a couple months later, and this time was at the worst time.
12:01.
At Night.
Lucy walks in, fully focused in on Tim.
I want some attention too. He pouts, following them slowly.
"You wanna ask questions or do you want to take your pants off?" He hears Lucy mutter- after impulsively kissing Tim and backing him toward his bedroom.
Tim shuts up, and the two back into his room.
Wait for me! I have small legs!
He trips over Tim's pants.
Then Lucy's bra.
Then he decides to look up.
The door is open very, very wide.
Dear god.
Kojo backs away, looking down at the floor.
I. Am. Traumatized.
He lies down in his bed, unable to close his eyes.
---
"Bud, why are you shaking so badly?" Lucy asks, noticing the look on Kojo's face.
Kojo doesn't look up, just walking away.
I will never be able to look her in the eye normally again.
(He happily got a butt scratch as she left that night.)
~~~~
Lucy walks into the house, dropping... keys into the bowl.
Why?
It's not like she's back together with Tim, right?
Lucy walks past Kojo, and goes straight toward to Tim.
"Hey, baby." She kisses him slowly, and smiles as she pulls out.
"This is probably one of the best ideas I've had in a while." Tim grins.
Tim. Grins.
He doesn't normally do that, not even to me!
"Mhm." Lucy looks him up and down, "You want to prove that you really want this, babe?"
Tim's grin shifts to a smirk, "Gladly."
Kojo catches Lucy shirt with his head, on complete accident, but would it rather be that than what happened on April Fools day.
The door to Tim's room shuts with a slam.
Not again...
---
Lucy and Tim walk out of the bedroom, wrapped in a blanket.
Kojo doesn't hear most of the conversation, but turns into the hallway, as Lucy kisses Tim on the cheek and walks out of the wrap of the blanket.
Kojo turns around immediately.
Why me?
(Kojo got a butt scratch later, taking that as an apology.)
