[The excitement that Ryou feels as he's pulled along is...almost indescribable. The last time he can remember this happening, he had been all stammers and awkwardness and feeling as if he would never, ever be worthy.
Today, those feelings are silenced. Even his inadequacy is pushed so far down that it can only tickle at the edges of his mind, because this is his time with Atem.
And when he's finally brought to the table and presented with something that's for him, made by someone who he loves dearly...Ryou doesn't even speak immediately. His gold-and-black eyes flick across the entire table, taking in the sight of that beautifully cooked meat, the bread, the drinks...
It's so thoughtful Ryou feels as if he might cry. His heart feels as if someone's dipped it into an ethereal warmth, and there's butterflies in his stomach, as if Atem had just kissed him for 5 minutes straight. His fingers curl tightly around Atem's, while the other hand goes to his chest, showing how touched he is.]
It's...it's lovely.
[This isn't even Ryou getting choked up about food, it's the effort Atem had put in. The love. He didn't have to garnish with scallions!! He didn't have to put bread out, or a variety of drinks, or even do this as a surprise, but he did and hhhhhhh...it's such a touching gesture...

He has to pull Atem into a hug.]
