A Condition Called Love 1-11

"Our Firstlings All Alone Again" The monk and the monk are alone again. The monk tells the monk that his parents want him to be free, but the monk reminds him that he has a crush on him and that he will be free for a long time to come. When the monk asks the monk what he wants out of the relationship, the monk replies that he doesn't want the monk to break the law, but he does want him not to do anything that might upset the monk's parents. He then asks if the rings on his finger are all in pairs, which the monk thinks is unusual. He asks if he can make his love into a tangible object, and the boy replies that this is unusual, but that he never gave the monk anything in return for the gifts he gave him for Christmas. He also asks if they should look into other options first, since the monk is worried about the cost of the engagement ring. He says that if he ever gets "foggy" on whether they are friends or not, the ring will only take one glance at it to remember.
