And the cuteness continues!

When Theo awoke the next morning, the first thing he noticed was the purring. Not only did it sound loud, it also sounded like more than one source of purring. He opened his mouth to say something to Andrew, who was curled against his chest, and was surprised when all that came out was a soft 'meow.' The tabby next to him raised his head and looked at him, and the expression clearly said, "hah."

Theo raised a paw and batted at Andrew's face, and the retaliatory swipe to his stomach tickled. He pounced, biting gently at the soft fur of his lover. A purr erupted from his throat unexpectedly, but he kept it up as he rubbed his head against the ginger fur, licked a twitching ear. Andrew rolled to his side and started to purr as he returned the favor, the two felines cleaning each other and unaware of the approaching footsteps. Neither of them heard the knock.

The door opened and James Norrington walked halfway through the door before he stopped abruptly and stared at the cats on the bed. He grinned and slunk cat-like across the room, startling the other two by leaping over them onto the cot. "I see you are now suffering the same thing as Andrew here, Theodore."

Both pairs of eyes narrowed and he laughed, reaching out and scratching both of them behind the ears. Theo immediately flopped over and pushed against James' hand, while Andrew refused to do the same, though he reluctantly granted James a jerky stop-and-start sort of purring, obviously disgruntled at the human's amusement. "Oh, enjoy the freedom Andrew. It won't last forever." Two pairs of brown eyes looked up at him in curiosity. "Ah, ah. That would be telling." James grinned again and tweaked their tails, whistling as he left the cabin.
