[Atem's got to take a moment for his brain to reboot when Ryou looks away and laughs, because sometimes, Ryou looks so pretty it makes Atem feel like he's been hit in the head. He's gone stupid. He can't think about anything else, not even creative murder plans, and it's a good thing Ryou doesn't ask Atem a question right now because anything besides "stare like an idiot" is beyond him.
The intermittent hissing quiets. He's kissed, and his eyes close, and his heart pounds, and the last of his snakes relax their hoods.]
Okay.
[--he says, like a dumbass, instead of someone who can form sentences that consist of more than one word.
He's been kissed, once, so that's okay...
Atem lets go of Ryou's hand with one of his and brings it up to Ryou's jaw instead. He leans in for a second kiss, not that much less chaste, but slower, and meant to be longer. He sort of wants to see...will kissing Ryou make him feel the same way he had in the tree dream? His hand slides around to the back of Ryou's neck, like it had before...
But...
...but a few seconds in, half a dozen little tongues flick against Ryou's face, over his cheeks and forehead, a dead giveaway for curiosity. One of them even pokes its little snoot into an ear, exploratory. Thp thp, Ryou.]
