His human was finally sleeping peacefully. She'd cried again later that evening, and all the purring and nuzzling in the world hadn't been able to make her stop.

It was the man in pink that'd made her sad. Just one more reason not to like the big hairy ape. It was bad enough that he stole all of his human's attention when he was around, but it was worse that he obviously didn't appreciate it.

Boo's human was sweet and gentle and moved like a cat, which was the highest compliment he could give. She was all graceful steps and clever petting hands. The man on the other hand tromped around everywhere like an earthquake and was too lazy to make a very good ear scratcher. Boo couldn't even count how many times he'd had to move at the last second to avoid being stomped on by the oaf.

He'd known the first second he'd seen the big lump that he was no good. Why his human insisted on keeping him around was completely lost on Boo. He especially hated when they took off their human clothes and started wrestling together. It always sounded like the idiot was hurting his human and he certainly wouldn't stand for that. Boo had gotten in quite a few good scratches before the man had learned to close the door on him when they did that. Even the door wouldn't have stopped him though, if his human hadn't always come out happy afterward. He didn't know what fun she saw in wrestling with the overgrown dog, but as long as she was happy Boo would tolerate it.

She wasn't happy anymore though. They'd both been yelling at each other tonight, and the big ape had thought he could touch her when she clearly hadn't wanted him to. Boo'd gotten a rather good bite in for that, and he had to say the man tasted awful. He hoped the wound festered and made the man's hand fall off. He deserved it for making his human cry.

He really should have known something was up when the big yellow furred onee-san had come over and fed him extra. The big ape was the only thing that kept his human from him for extended periods of time. He'd taken particular joy once in shredding the man's favorite piece of pink clothes when he was over after he'd taken his human away for a few days. He'd imagined the thing was still attached to the man in question.

The big ape had put something in his food after that which had left him woozy for days. His human had yelled at the man good for that one, but had unfortunately forgiven him. Boo had retaliated once he'd regained his senses and had quite enjoyed the look on the big ape's face when he stepped into his sandals only to discover Boo had peed all over them. His human had laughed so hard she'd had to sit down, and he'd gotten a big saucer of milk once the man left.

His human muttered again in her sleep and Boo watched over her until she quieted. She still smelled of the man with the long white fur who often accompanied the big baboon. The white furred man was actually rather pleasant and always hit just the right spot on his neck that set him purring. He also liked to bring treats and toys whenever he visited. Boo fully approved.

"Shunsui," his human muttered softly in her sleep. That's what she called the big ape. Well, that and idiot. Boo nuzzled closer into her side and she sighed.

He didn't remember much of his life before he'd adopted his human, but he knew it hadn't been nearly as nice. He still remembered being tortured by those human whelps and how his lovely graceful human had interceded. The big ape hadn't done anything useful and had distracted her from him the second he could. It served the man right that Boo ended up being the one she took home with her that night.

Ever since that first encounter, Boo had also been exceptionally fond of taking up whatever personal space the big ape was intent on. If he moved to put his arm around her shoulders on the couch, Boo stretched out above them. If he tried to take her hand, Boo demanded a good petting. If he tried to lay his big stupid head in her lap, Boo got there long before he did. It was quite fun to watch him get frustrated, and he quite liked hearing his human laugh.

She wasn't laughing anymore. If that big ape came around again, he was going to bite him in the crotch, and he was going to claw his way up the man's leg in order to do so. It might not taste very good, but you do crazy things for the humans you love.


A/N: Just a tiny fluff piece because I felt like it. I do love me some Boo :)
