[Through the haze of his own sleeplessness and dulled senses, Ryou cannot ignore what Atem said or did in that one moment. He can't pretend the fingers sliding up his back don't make his skin tingle beneath his clothing. Maybe...Atem does know?
But...when the hand relaxes, he exhales softly, and his ears angle down slightly. No. It was his imagination. Atem's just repositioning.
Ryou inclines his head towards Atem's anyway, pressing their faces just a little closer, and he comes to his decision as Atem begins to relax again. Subtly, he puts a hand on Atem's shoulder, activating his pain-taking. It's as easy as anything. He'll assure that Atem sleeps no matter what it takes.]
