It's 1914, and nineteen-year-old Jack Marston is ready to take the next step with his first boyfriend. Still healing from the loss of his parents John and Abigail, Jack has found something he never thought possible - safety, love, and hope - in his relationship. Though nervous about crossing this boundary, there's nobody else he could ever imagine sharing his first time with. The shy, bookish young man is equal parts anxious and excited as he prepares to lose his virginity to the person who truly sees him.

So, this was it, Jack thought, his lips curving into a shy, nervous smile. His hands trembled slightly as he removed his boyfriend's clothes, betraying the excitement and apprehension swirling in his chest. They were finally ready to cross that line, *that unspoken, invisible boundary that they had danced around for what felt like forever. Their first time. The thought sent a strange mix of warmth and anxiety coursing through him, but more than anything, there was a certainty in his heart.

At nineteen, Jack supposed it was about time he finally lost his virginity. Not that he felt rushed or pressured, no, this was nothing like that. It was something he wanted, something he chose. And, if he was being honest with himself, there was nobody else he could ever imagine sharing this with. His boyfriend wasn't just his first partner; he was the person who made Jack feel safe, loved, and understood in ways he never thought possible.

Gotta give him my all... Jack thought, the faintest hint of a chuckle escaping as he brushed a strand of dark hair out of his face. His thoughts wandered briefly to everything that had led to this moment. He wasn't the most confident when it came to relationships or, hell, even himself, but his boyfriend changed that. His boyfriend saw past the quiet, bookish exterior, past the cracks in his heart, and gave Jack something he hadn't felt in years: hope.

And so, as he found himself between his boyfriend's spread legs, on his bed, Jack knew he wasn't just stepping into something physical; he was stepping into something meaningful, something he'd treasure forever. I'll be awkward, I'll probably say something stupid, he thought, his cheeks reddening slightly, but at least I'll be with him.

He leaned over to the bedside table to grab the oil from it, lubing up his fingers with it. He was practically buzzing with a mix of nervousness and excitement.

"You ready, handsome?" Jack murmured lowly, tracing his finger over his boyfriend's rim.
