[Any further words that Ryou might have had on his mind, waiting to spill from his confused mouth are silenced completely by that kiss and he lets out a soft, quiet little murmur in the back of his throat.

Okay. He's shutting up. Atem has the floor and honestly...what he says is comforting. Ryou's not exactly sure what he's doing, but what he does know is that this? Right here? Is all he wants.]

Mmh, I can't really imagine being with anyone but you. H-heh, we haven't even dated yet and we're already talking about this...?

[He's calmed by their proximity, though a little thrilled at the fingers gently tracing at his throat. This is no time to fall into that trap though!

...But Ryou does move his hand up, slipping bandaged fingers up to the back of Atem's neck, just below the snairline, pulling him closer for another kiss. This one's not a shush. This one's an emotional one, because Ryou's heart is so full right now that there's no loneliness to ruin this moment for him. None whatsoever.

Nonetheless, it's a brief kiss, and his fingers slip away just as quickly as they crept to Atem's neck. They're still close when he speaks though.]

My plans are not as extensive as yours, Atem. I can't do even a one-month plan for what I expect. But...I think that, ah. I want you to keep me. As long as you want. That's what I want...and if it's what you want, then that's perfect.

[He probably said "want" way too many times, but...come on, he's tired, don't call him out like this.]
