[Atem agreeing to work together takes a little bit of the weight off Beat's shoulders. It eases his grip on the hug, less forceful, but still solid and there. He snorts a little into the Vampires shoulder, smiling to the idea of Atem facing down Gods.]

Damn right, an' I'll be right there 'sidechu. Faced down my fair share of shit that called themselves Gods, yo. Demons, Angels, Reapers, whatever you wanna call them. They can be beaten. Uh. Or in one case, converted into yer boyfriend. Don' ask me how I did that, I ain't even sure. Some otome visual novel shit or somethin' goin' on there. Point is, I'm pretty sure I won that one too.

[Grinning, Beat eases up on his hug, a hand coming up to dig into Atem's hair and promptly mess it up in a gentle rub. A friendly noogie.]

An' when I say Ima be there fer you, yo, by yer side or at yer back, I mean it. I don' wan'chu ever thinkin' fer a moment you can't call me up for anythin'. I don't care how unimportant or whatever you might think the issue is. Call me.
