[But...he really doesn't like it when that happens without him agreeing to it...it was okay the first time, during monster-bingo, and when he'd died, it had been a gift, to die peacefully, even though it had been bad later....
It sits wrong with him to let it happen now, to let this pass unremarked-on. Atem stays where he is, his arms wound around Ryou's shoulders and waist; in fact, the one over Ryou comes up to hold the back of his shoulder, far enough from the injury not to hurt, but more secure, with purpose. They don't have to look at each other. But he does have to say this.]
But I need you to ask me first, before you do that again!
[He doesn't sound angry, and his voice is still quiet, despite falling into the exclaiming!! he does a lot, when there's pent-up energy and intensity. Atem is a very intense, bright-burning person in a very small body, and talking like that...it's a sign he's feeling more normal. Painshare means he's got a clear head to talk about this. ]
