In this chapter, Shmoop explains that he's going to teach his friend Akira how to love him. He's not sure what that means, but he knows that Akira loves him. Akira has been with him since he was a kid, and he loves him even more than a kid loves his cousin. Shmo says that this is the best love story in the world, because it's about a grand adventure on a land of sweets. He tells Akira that if he runs away, he'll win. He says that if Akira stays the night, he won't be able to touch Akira without melting his skin. He asks Akira if he can touch her without melting her skin, and Akira says that he can. He wants to see him as a man, but Akira tells him that his class is in another room, so he can't touch her now. He wonders if they're giving him weird dreams, and then he asks how long they'll keep this up.
