[Ryou isn't sure if he should feel flattered or not, but his fingers pause in their work when Atem says that.]

I'll always look after you. As long as we're together here, you're my priority. Even if it's something as small as this...you deserve to be taken care of, always.

[Too-long fingers continue their work after that, and Ryou releases Atem's arm from his care, before shuffling a little closer, as close as Atem's snake half lets him get.

(as if they weren't close enough already)

Whatever supplies are left float lazily back, settled on the nearest flat surface as Ryou leans down enough to press their foreheads together.]

The only risks I want you to take are calculated ones. But then...I trust you better than I trust myself with that kind of thing. H-haha!
