[Atem stands, too -- but he pulls his free hand out of Ryou's.
He feels like the deck of a ship has bucked under his feet, and he's reeling, stumbling, scrambling to get a hold of anything solid. Atem's cheeks are blooming-bruise purple, spots of color brought on by dead blood spreading through disused capillaries he is embarrassed and angry enough to reopen.
He doesn't want to start this with an accusation, he realizes, tells himself, as he looks at Komaeda and registers how much Komaeda doesn't want to be here.
But Atem did this, he brought them into this situation because he let his selfish desires he still wonders if he had any right to ask for push him forward, and he has to deal with it.
One tiny vampire, his fists balled at his sides, stares down the two werewolves.
Don't start with an accusation, he tells himself, again. So, it's with control, tight control, that Atem asks:]
Why -- didn't you tell me you were dating Hinata?
[He asks because he wants to know, he needs to get the actual reasoning and not the secretive betrayal ones his mind is supplying, and does his very best to rein in the hurt and confusion that's a swirling stormcloud in his chest.]
