[Did Ryou somehow miss how weird snake-Atem got when Ryou was wrapped up in tail coils? Both times? Does Ryou know how close he came to not stopping? Because if Atem had been any more certain it would have been all right, between his own unfamiliar body and Ryou's exhaustion, all bets would have been off, and their first time together would have involved scales. It still might have, if he'd been in that form much longer.
But that doesn't matter right now. What matters is that he's being kissed with energy and enthusiasm, and Atem doesn't bother trying not to grin, or hold back a laugh that's low, but about as carefree as Ryou's ever heard from him -- his arms come up to wind around Ryou's neck and he returns the kiss, opening his mouth, happily accepting and keeping up the pace that's been set. If Ryou steps closer, Atem's knees will be on either side of his waist, and that's fine; Atem's well past feeling shame about any of this. Why should he? He was telling the truth. This is something he wants.
assume nsfw in the metatext at least,
