[Man...Ryou wishes he could roll over and hug Atem. Why does he have to lack the arm to do so? He feels personally victimized by the lack of close contact he can have.
In protest of such, he releases Atem's hand just long enough to twine his whole arm around the naga's. He pulls it close enough to press his face against Atem's forearm. Look it's not...he's just hugging him as a really good friend. Let him have this.]
Not sleeping...is terrible. I'm sorry for saying something so stupid, but...you have a nice laugh so I guess I don't feel so bad.
[Does he have a nice laugh in actuality? It doesn't matter. Ryou likes it. That's his reality. Atem laughing until there's tears in his eyes is...good. Ryou likes it. Now that he knows it's fine, his heart is practically swelling with contentment that Atem could break loose for 2 seconds. Even if it was in a sleepless haze.]
...Well actually. Your laugh is nice but I think you were doing some weird monster nonsense in the background. Because you were...extra-laughing.
[Ugh, that sounds dumb.]
Like. Laughing...but darker.
[No. That's worse. Ryou closes his eyes. He can't look at Atem after saying that, the words that are coming out of his mouth are stupid and he can't figure out how best to describe the resonant rumbling that had been emanating from his pal here.]
