It's not even about the sound, it's about the fact that he's laughing honestly! It makes Ryou unbelievable happy, and although he doesn't laugh, he gives a happy little grin, teeth and all. Atem probably doesn't even see it, because he's too busy burrowing into Ryou's hair which is...also very okay!]
