That story is exactly the kind of thing Drake is worried about, his expression going from wary as Jesus is telling it to 'see what I mean?' at the end... he knows what it's like to be starving, how much it means when someone saves your life by sharing a limited resource. In his case that was actually a friend willing to sacrifice themselves for him, twice. He does get how easy it could be to blindly trust in that kind of gesture. But Jesus is too smart for the story to end there, so... Drake waits.

Oh.

So much for lightening the mood.

He doesn't even know what to say to that, what response could possibly stand up to the emotion swelling in his chest. In the end he doesn't say anything at all, just smiles quietly and leans in to kiss Jesus again. Softer and slower and sweeter than the ones Jesus has initiated since showing up here.
