Heh...

[He shuts his eyes.]

It's a bit dirty.

I think about...how, instead of fighting with you, I could kiss you instead. It makes me want to get a little rough...I want to push you around, but you don't make it too easy. I want to leave bite marks, so you don't forget what happened, or that I did it. I want to pull your hair!

[He gazes up at Komaeda then, and the look in his eyes is full of surprisingly sincere longing for such a violent confession.]

I want to fight...the kind of fight we both win.

[And then, maybe Atem would hold Komaeda the way Komaeda wants.

Then, though, Atem looks down and away.]

Besides that...I want you along with me, beside me, while I dig my hands into Ryslig and pull out all the good things it has, one last time. I wouldn't want to if I were alone...but, with you by my side, I do. It's only worth it if I experience it with you...

[He brings his froggy feet up closer to himself, Komaeda's tail tucked between thighs and torso, and rests his arms on his knees.]

So...traveling together, as more than friends. That's what I've imagined.

[And, you know, the dirty stuff.]
