[Even though she's being as gentle as possible, Ryou still can't stop himself from making a pained sound. There's no helping it, he needed the wounds cleaned but having anything at all touch his most severe burns is almost more than he can bear.
He closes his eyes, trying to even out his breathing as the nurse works. Soon...soon it'll be over.
And once it is...Ryou can be alone with Atem once more. Just...a little longer. Just a bit more to endure...
His fingers twitch and he winces, not because of the pain, but because suddenly, he feels...heavy. Tired. A little dizzy. Maybe he'd been too distracted by confessing his feelings after all, and kissing Atem. He wonders if he'll even have the presence of mind to do anything like that again, or...if Atem would even want to.
He wants to. But...perhaps his exhaustion's catching up with him.]
