[He was right, to think that Ryou would be more charmed than horrified. Atem's starting to get used to that...it's nice, really, to be close to someone who looks at all of the weird things about you and thinks they're neat. He grins, entirely too comfortable with this person, someone he invited to share a home with him four months ago without any idea it'd lead to this.]
Yes.
[He leans in again!]
You smell nice.
[He's been aware of Ryou's scent for a while. Unfortunate side effect of being a vampire! The way Ryou smells to him now...it's the same, but without the undercurrent of blood. Which is nice, actually...he's not distracted by thinking about biting down, about getting another taste of Ryou's blood. Instead, Atem can lean in for another kiss, and the only taste he's worried about is the one that's just Ryou's mouth.]
Or is it how you taste?
[It's said in the tone of someone who's not particularly interested in getting caught up in semantics, just making a quick, wry note about how weird monster stuff is before they're kissing again. It's a little bit low, too, and his snakes are back to doing that nuzzling thing, even before Atem closes the distance. If Ryou is good enough to open his mouth to this one, that tongue is going to slip inside his mouth then flick back out, that's just how it is, those are the rules, he doesn't make them (in this particular instance).]
