[Ryou listens and...rather than tighten his grip or try to offer some reassurance, he sighs in frustration.]

Atem, just shut up. Shut up for once in your life, cope with your emotions, and let me help you. This is what it means to be in a relationship. It means...sometimes you have to get through the hard parts for someone you care about.

Me caring about you...doesn't mean we're done talking about this forever.

[And yet, Ryou does allow himself to nose more firmly into Atem's hair. It's a little selfish, but if that's what his whining, accusatory boyfriend has decided to force him into, then so be it.]

Just...stop looking for trouble...
