Jack blushed when she asked him the question, and even more so when she gave him her own answer. His first instinct was to come up with a lie, some macho story filled with testosterone induced glory. But he couldn't do that to her, because the lie would some day come back to bite him in the butt. Just like what all lies do.

"To be honest, I've never done it. "

The birds seemed to halt their song for a moment as the silence grew around him, Jack finding himself looking away for a moment before looking back at her, giving a small laugh.

"It just never has felt like the right time before, ya know? No reason to lose it to someone who you don't plan on being with for the rest of your life. That's just me, I guess. I just want my first time to be special."
