Hudson offered to let him get high here, and Don Juan was absurdly touched. He'd always had the impression that his various vices were something Dean found odious, even if it wasn't something he would admit to out loud. He'd thought Dean tolerated him when he was high, but that was all (and that only under certain circumstances). So it meant a lot that Hudson was willing to make space for that, if needed. Don Juan had no interest in taking him up on it — he mainly got high these days because he couldn't be with Hudson — but still.

"I'll cut back," he agreed. He leaned in to kiss Hudson, willing some of the tension to go out of him. "You won't have to worry about me while I'm gone."
