[Look at that! Look at those sharp little teeth. Something about one of them poking out when he smiles is adorable. Atem really likes a lot of the Ryou-smiles he's seen. He's not so much a fan of the ones that are obviously masks, meant to distract and hide what's actually going on, but the real ones? Jeez. That was part of why Atem fell for him, wasn't it? Seeing one made him realize Ryou wasn't just a close friend he felt comfortable around and cared a lot about, but was a close friend he felt comfortable around, cared a lot about, and also wanted to kiss. Ryou's got a really cute smiling face, that's just fact!
Ryou gets gazed at during this break, shamelessly and affectionately -- until Ryou says I'm glad we're here.
It reminds Atem again of how close to danger, to death, Ryou's been skirting lately...how there was a very real chance Ryou might not have been here.
Atem doesn't tighten his coils, he can't imagine that would be comfortable, especially with injuries, but the snakes grip Ryou's hand a little closer. His eyes and his tone darken, turning more serious above the thumb on his cheek, and he presses his forehead to Ryou's.]
Me too.
[Atem's mad about a lot of things, but he's going to take a moment to appreciate what he has. He's gonna appreciate it with more intensity than before, having fallen into a different mood, but he's still appreciating it with his mouth, and with a hand buried in Ryou's hair.]
