[Ryou watches the mouth slowly close, waits until Atem's whole entire face comes back into view...then laughs a little, because what? are you saying, you dummy? Of course it was weird!

When the coils tighten around him, the laugh tapers off. It's not as if Atem had squeezed the breath out of him it's just...he likes it. He likes being wrapped up in the majority of Atem's snake body.]

It's alright if you think it's more than a little weird, it won't hurt my feelings. [He winks. It's silly, Atem pulls off winking much better.] But as for what I did...you don't owe me anything for that, I always want to help you. Whenever something difficult arises, we have to be ready to hold each other up, right?

[Atem has done so much for Ryou. So much...that helping with the shed doesn't even compare. Even if they were still just friends, he'd absolutely have put his all into it.]

Right.

[This time, he adds his arms to the hug. They'll stay there, most likely, until Atem dies, near dawn; this one is mercifully quick, a heart attack with very little pain, and his snake-body turns to dust and Atem the vampire sits up out of it.

He feels kind of bad about the mess! He will help clean it up...and at least Ryou has some intact shed parts to keep.]
