The ragdoll made a stupid “omg that is /so/ good” kitty face and shoved his skull into the floor, stretching his chin toward Tony. A very faint purr rumbled from his body. One paw reached up, brushing at Tony’s arm before flopping back down like the effort was just too much.

He snickered to himself.  “Nah, you don’t give a shit about my work.”  Still scratching the cat’s chin, he used his other hand to pick up the fuzzy paw, wiggling it around playfully.  “You probably don’t give a shit about all that much right now, so long as I keep petting.”

Helios contentedly let Tony flop his paw around, all limp tendons and boneless felinity. The purr increased in volume, and he slitted his eyes at Tony. A pink tongue licked at his nose and Tony’s arm.
