The scene opens with a sigh from the narrator, who wants to eat the boy up right away. The boy doesn't seem to understand what he's saying, and the narrator blames himself for not saying the right thing. He tells the boy that he loves him, but that he can't figure out how to express it in a proper way. He's also worried that he sounds like a "grade school kid" . The narrator says that he'll show the boy how to say it properly, and he promises to tease the boy if he does it right. He says he loves the boy so much that he wants to be kind, but the boy is so cute that he makes the narrator want to tease him. The girl says that she's not sure what to do with herself, either, and that she needs to prepare herself for the kiss. She says she hasn't been feeling well lately, and she wants to make sure that the kiss goes off without a hitch.
