"Better? That bar's already pretty high, but... I think if you wanna explore a boyfriend kind of connection, you're in a better place for one now. Somewhere you could be happy instead of hurt, with somebody who knows you're worth the risk too."

There's a pressure in his chest now, but it's not quite an ache. Just a tangle of emotion welling up that Jesus can see in his eyes, too complex to put a pin on. There's grief, and worry, but also something bright and hopeful for Jesus because Drake believes what he's saying. Even if he's a little frightened saying it. The balcony really is right there, after all. At least it's clear (he hopes) he isn't implying himself. He huffs, clears his throat, and then his voice is a little rough as he finishes what he was saying.

"You deserve to be happy in every way you can find, Jesus."
