[Oh? Oh, that's what Ryou wants? Ryou gets rewarded almost immediately for asking, as Atem slithers up a bit further, to get a new angle in the kiss, to get more of himself on Ryou's chest, and stops kissing like a curious snake so he can start kissing like a human boyfriend. His own mouth stays open, warm, responsive; his hand holds Ryou's jaw, running a thumb along his cheek, under an eye, before sliding back into Ryou's hair. Atem tilts Ryou's head back into the pillow and kisses him with that contentment-mixed-with-restlessness he's been feeling, not pushing for anything further and secure in the knowledge that this kind of can't venture into territory he's unsure of, one of the upsides of having your whole lower half be a snake...
He thinks that as his coils shift gently against Ryou, brushing over warm fabric, taking in what it feels like to be wrapped around him. It's really, really nice. He's positive the only thing he has to worry about is making sure his upper fangs don't extend, there's venom sacs in his face but it won't get injected into his mouth as long as he's not trying to defend himself or eat. Other than that, he can just lean into winding fingers into Ryou's hair, kissing him deeper, letting the warmth of him sink below his skin and mingle with the answering warmth Atem's feeling in his heart. Even though his movements are slow, and so are his snakes', it's still dizzying. Between kisses, he murmurs against Ryou's mouth, only getting a few words out at a time:]
You do.
[A contented sigh.]
I want to remember it forever...how nice you smell...the way you taste...
[It's probably super weird to hear that kind of thing from a monster! Who eats people! But Atem sure is saying it anyway!]
