She was surprised how easy it was to find the words, now that she saw it all clearly. "Don't you want more than this?" It was, in a way, the worst thing she could possibly say to him, carrying the implications it did that somehow he had fundamentally failed, failed to give her what she wanted, failed to make the dream come true, failed to fill the spaces. "More than . . . more than what?" She tried a different, more concrete approach. "Why haven't we ever had sex, Dawson?" He blinked widely and started making sort of "wh-wh-wh" noises, like a lawnmower that wouldn't start. Finally, he shook his head as if to knock the bugs off. "Because we decided to wait." "Is that it, really?" She shifted on the couch and looked at him hard in the eye. "Does it kill you that we haven't done it?" He gave that annoying laugh-snort that always made her want to poke him in the eye. "How am I supposed to answer that, Joey? What's the right answer? I mean, if I say yes, then I'm some kind of dog, and if I say no, then I'm not validating your sexuality." You have just heard your boyfriend use the expression, "validate your sexuality." It is time to get out. "Dawson, there's not a right answer. You're supposed to answer it <strong>by</strong> telling the truth." He shook his head, then ran his fingers through his hair in frustration. "No, it doesn't kill me, okay? And I don't understand why this is so surprising to you, Joey, considering that you and Pacey spent three months in a boat where there was barely enough room to turn around, and you've told me on previous occasions that you managed to make it back to shore a virgin." "Right. I did. And it practically killed us both." Dawson recoiled. This was more than too much information. This was genuine nightmare material. But all that came out of his mouth was, "Oh." "Does that surprise you?" She had stopped fidgeting, and now she was trying to get him to look her in the eye. "Because it shouldn't." His face was sort of twitching and jumping. "I -- no, I guess I just always sort of thought that -- I don't know, that --" "Oh, my God." She cut him off. She really had known him too long, she concluded, because she knew exactly what he was going to say. Her voice became low and familiar. "You thought I didn't really want to sleep with him. You figured I never would because I never really wanted to." He made a gesture of pure helplessness, like a shrug crossed with a muscle spasm.
"You did. You thought I didn't want to." Astonished as always at his inability to read her, she leaned toward him. "Dawson?" "Yeah?" She whispered now. "I really, really wanted to." "I want to go back to the issue of Joey's purity," Jen said as she started in on her third beer. "What?" Pacey had Jen's socks off now, and was examining her toes. *** "You said you returned her to Dawson with her purity intact. Now, that isn't literally true, is it? Please, Pace, tell me that isn't true. I mean, don't break my heart and tell me that the entire time the two of you were dating, you never managed an actual sexual encounter. That would just make me too sad. For Joey, mostly." He pulled on her big toe. "No need to be sad," he assured her. "We did indeed do the deed, if I can use that awkward semi-poetic formulation. Not on the boat, of course, when it would have been most convenient, not to mention romantic, but later on dry land . . . it happened." If he hadn't been a little drunk, there was a chance he might have held back some of this information, but under the circumstances, it seemed like it didn't matter. "And was it the most wonderfully satisfying sexual experience of your relatively inexperienced life?" She wiggled her toes playfully. "No," he said plainly. "I can honestly tell you it wasn't. At least what you're thinking of wasn't." She sat up, intrigued. "Is this where I ask you about the most wonderfully satisfying sexual experience of your relatively inexperienced life?" He sighed, and ran a finger from the tip of her third toe down across the bottom of her foot to her heel. "That would be the day before the day you're thinking of." He leaned his head back against the couch. "Trace," he said in a near-whisper. ***
