[ There was probably a moment in there where he should have let go, where his thumb shouldn't still be brushing over Steve's knuckles. But if there was, Sam can't see it - and even now, he's reluctant to give up the warmth of Steve's hand around his. But he does, so he can lean over to grab one of the bottles and offer it out to Steve. ]
