[If he knew what Atem was thinking, Ryou might argue that Monster World and the requisite mathematics are a labor of love, which...would actually only solidify Atem's point. But he doesn't! That's not the topic of discussion.
Actually, the topic of discussion was definitely...haha. Well.
Ryou had only meant to make a joke, but he sees the creeping red on Atem's cheeks. He only has a moment to wonder to himself exactly how well-fed Atem must be to blush like that, before he realizes that he's made a miscalculation with that joke, because now Atem's looming over him and he says...he says things like that.
Now it's time for Ryou to blush, a deep, dark gray, almost black, that spreads to the tips of his ears. It takes him a minute to process what Atem says, and maybe the other teen doesn't mean it, but the finger tracing down Ryou's nose, along with those words, have some kind of effect.]
H...haha...hold on a minute, you're--I'm not.
[Not beautiful, no. Pretty face was good enough for him but WORDS...LET'S TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE!!]
...I-I'm not sure I could handle seeing you less. I'd want to be by your side, and if it meant learning magic--ah, heka--then I'd do it. I'd be your k-king's-wife.
[Oof, can he blush any harder? Wife?!?! Help?! The joke backfired so badly, when will Ryou learn that his actions have consequences, and that Atem was always ready to prevail in a challenge? Any challenge. accidental gay chicken with left RPG is a challenge.]
