Justin was ready with a counter attack on Susan's whole..."understanding" act. But it seemed she just...kept going and going and when she finally stopped Justin had forgotten what he was going to say. He had to pause a long moment to think about an appropriate reply - he certainly hadn't been expecting that one.
"Your...first?" he asked rhetorically obviously at a loss of words. Seriously - her first kiss? Well...that made things a bit more awkward than he would have liked seeing as the kiss, as he recalled, was definitely not his best and far from it. Susan had never really struck him as the never been kissed sort and now that he knew he felt strangely obligated to her. It was hard to explain but knowing that he'd practically stolen her first kiss made the boy feel a bit guilty. He wasn't entirely sure why - but it probably had a lot to do with Justin never really being one for playing with untouched girls.
After he'd gotten over the whole business of mutually losing his innocence with his first physical girlfriend some years prior he'd always been involved with people who'd taken that step as well. Virgin's, especially now at their age, were like fragile trinkets you admired in a shoppe, but didn't dare touch or take home to play with. The politics involved with getting involved with them seemed like they'd be more trouble than they're worth. Not that...Susan wasn't worth it. Just...well... this entire thing was so bloody strange!
He closed his eyes tight and rubbed at his forehead as to rub away the mildly inappropriate thoughts going on in his head. He really shouldn't have been letting random flashes of him and Susan in a situation of losing/taking said virginity. All they ever did was kiss...and kiss badly for that matter. He was obviously working things up in his head that....weren't even related.
"Erm," he started soon after his original question, "...I'm glad you think I kiss better than ....Corner?" He was obviously uncertain of what he was saying. Until suddenly he shook his head and dropped his hand and forced himself to talk like a normal person. "I - look, Susan. You're driving me bonkers, here." He smirked timidly at her. To be honest he couldn't help but be somewhat amused. "One second you're telling me you don't think I have any obligation to returning your obviously well engrained feeling and then the next you're telling me I was your first ever kiss. Mixed signals are not cool." He chuckled nervously in hopes that if he kept his tone light she wouldn't get upset.
"I'm not stupid. I know that regardless of what you say...you want to know if I feel the same way about you and..." he sighed absently and tilted his head back on the wall and look to the ceiling. "And to be entirely honest, I don't know. I mean...it kind of pissed me off that you snogged Corner. And I'm not talking like timid jealousy. I seriously considered socking him one in the hall before dinner tonight." He grinned in amusement at himself and glanced over at Susan before returning his attention back to the ceiling. "I just...I've dated girl's I was friends with before hand...and when things fall apart it never goes back to the way it was."
"I don't know...if I want to risk that with you." He looked over at her with an honest concern.
