Lee shakes his head, because everyone is fucked up in their own way, everyone has damage and baggage and dark places they don’t show most people. Lee’s had a pretty good life outside his cancer and the things that have come with it, but he has broken things inside him too. Eric’s young, and he’s been through a lot, losing his parents, being so utterly mistreated by someone who pretends to be his friend, but Lee can’t go back in time and fix those things. All he can do is be here for Eric now, and keep working on finding a way to make that happen for as long as possible.
“You should tell me everything,” Lee says, holding Eric’s face up with one hand, staring into his eyes. “Not right now, not tonight, but I want to know everything, Eric. I want to know you, good things and bad things. I’m in love with you, all of you, okay?” he says, his voice strong and genuine. He leans in then and kisses Eric hard, pouring all of that love into it, returning all the support and optimism that Eric has given him into the gesture, warm and passionate.
