[In a deeper register, one that gives away how relaxed he is:]

Yes.

[Why lie? But, he picks his voice up out of that tone, back to something a little more normal, the feathers of both wings twitching a little.]

It's nice.

[He feels like, by the time Ryou's done with this, he'll have had all the rest he needs.]
knifemonopoly: ([event] conspire against the odds)

[personal profile] knifemonopoly 2021-11-16 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
All right.

[Atem leans back on his hands, propping himself up a little bit lazily, and turns his head and extends the other wing. He's looking at Ryou with clear, unabashed affection.]

It feels much better, now that it's dry.

[A quick flutter of the dry wing, then it's tucked back into place beside his face, just behind his bangs. All the feathers fall neatly into proper alignment, smooth and even.]

I'm glad I get to spend more time with you, too. It's not the same when you're asleep, no matter how cute your sleeping face is!

[Atem smooches him right back, wings curling forward. He's been wanting to smooch, an itch under his skin, since Ryou pulled him in by his waist and told him the thing that would drag him under in Ryslig most was losing Atem, and right now he's feeling cared-for and lazy, like a cat having its fur brushed out. The energy Ryou gets from the kiss is indolent and unrepentant.]

I'm sure you will.

[He re-extends the damp wing, and settles in for another couple of minutes of pleasant attention. Atem really would be purring, if he could...]

I might.

[He's enjoying this so much. It's so nice, being in the hands of someone he trusts....it's helping the horror, the fear he did feel at the prospect of being caught by AM, the brief but agonizing pain of going up in flames, fade out of sight.]

The feathers...they don't feel, like skin does. It's like having a jacket on, all of the time...unless you really get in there.

And it's hard to reach the ones on my back...
knifemonopoly: ([event] we can party like it's BC)

[personal profile] knifemonopoly 2021-11-16 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
No, no! Not at all. I mean, touching them near the base of the feather, where they connect. Like you're doing.

[A pause. And then:]

If you'd like me to brush your back, all you have to do is ask.

[personal profile] knifemonopoly 2021-11-17 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Fur shirt gets Ryou a heh heh!]

Not any weirder than brushing your hair. Or drying my feathers.

[He extends one large wing -- it really is big like this, as big as his fog form's bat-wings were.]

Should I lie down?
knifemonopoly: ([event] just a)

[personal profile] knifemonopoly 2021-11-17 02:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh?? He knows Ryou tends to run his mouth when he's sleepy. But he's gotten bold!

Atem obliges, stretching out on his stomach, wings hovering over his back, still fluffed up. When Ryou chooses one to start on, it will stretch out for him, feathers spread as best he can manage. He props his chin on his hands, and shoots that flirtation back.
]

Hm, you can do as you like, of course!

[His feet are crossed at the ankles, knees bent. It is terribly playful -- not meant to start anything, he knows there's a task to be done, but Ryou started to play, and Atem isn't going to shy away from it.]

[Atem's feeling atrociously lazy, incredibly unbecoming of someone whose job it is to maintain right and good order. This isn't a side of him that comes out much! There's so much that has to be done, most of the time! But, as a nephilim, he has so much time to do things in...and, he's trusting Ryou that Ryou wants to be awake more than he wants to be fussed at in the name of sleep, even with the fog on its way in. So, he lets his back arch under the touch to the base of the wing with another quiet laugh -- laughing from how nice it feels, for the joy of it, and settles in as Ryou sits.

Atem leans his chin on one hand, drapes the other off the end of the bed, and lets his heart flutter pleasantly in his chest as he watches Ryou work. Heartbeats? Great. He loves being alive. This really is one of the most restful things Atem can imagine doing...he's going to be completely refreshed once this is over.
]

This really is kind of you to do...

[He might be lazy and pleased by the attention, but he's not unappreciative.]

[personal profile] knifemonopoly 2021-11-18 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
I love you, too.

[The wing Ryou's working on curls around him a moment, like a big, imprecise hug. It might muss his hair a little. Atem's motor control is next-level, miraculous even, but this wing's not built for hugs. What is miraculous is that it doesn't knock Ryou over.]

[He's not sorry about the hair; that was adorable. But, if there's a better way to do this...]

...is there a position that'd be more comfortable for -- unh. ...for you?

[No, it didn't pull hard enough to hurt. The big ones are pretty durable, attached very firmly -- it'd take a lot more force to do much damage. It's just a very unusual feeling. Surprising. New. The kind of thing you don't allow anyone to do, unless you trust them. It feels a little bit like a tug at hair, where if it's harder, it would be awful, but if it's just a little...you make a little sound like that, open-mouthed because you're relaxed and you're in the middle of a sentence, and then finish your thought, because that comes before processing how you feel about it.]
knifemonopoly: ([event] so i'll take my time)

[personal profile] knifemonopoly 2021-11-18 12:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Hh.

[Ryou is doing it on purpose. For a moment, Atem's eyes lose focus, and the wing he's holding out for Ryou twitches. Really, living bodies...it feels so nice to have one back, but it can be so troublesome...!

He doesn't mention it, though. The rest of what Ryou is saying is too important.
]

O-of course!

Actually....I miss sleeping together, too. Being able to be awake all the time is very convenient! But it was nice to fall asleep with you, and wake up together at night.

[He really never thought he'd miss something like sleep.]
knifemonopoly: ([event] this is gospel for the fallen on)

[personal profile] knifemonopoly 2021-11-18 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hmmmm, fresh towel nice. Atem's eyes fall half-closed again.]

You'd have to nap, in your day form...and there's so few daytime hours this time of year...

[He knows what it's like to miss spending time in the sun. He got to have so much of it, as a naga...it's harder as a nephilim, this time of year, but at least Atem's always awake for it.]

Should I wake you up a little before sunset?
