It's been a while since we've heard from the narrator, but here's what he has to say: He's finally finished his novel, and he's in love with a guy named Takumi. He wants to know why he loves him, but he can't figure out how to explain it to a guy who's supposed to be at work all the time. So he tells the guy to "turn turn tick" , which basically means to say, "Hey, I love you, but I'm not going to tell you why until you've actually said it to me." Translation: I don't care what you say, I just want to know what you're thinking.
