[ The way that his voice breaks makes his breath catch, but he's careful to hide the reaction as best as he can. Especially when he feels the way that Jimmy stiffens in the beginning. He opens his mouth, ready to ask him not to do this, not to pull away, but--
But then he laughs, and there's that cough again, and Steve just holds him a little closer. Especially when he feels the way that he feels his body loosen up, and the hand that had been on his cheek is moved to rest behind his neck. His fingers gently brush against his hair, resting his chin on top of his head. He doesn't care when Jimmy showered last, or how strong the smell of alcohol is; he just wants to stay here and hold him for as long as he can. Because it's not until he's holding him that he's coming to realize how terrified he is of this - of whatever is happening that is causing all this - and...why did he leave last time? Why didn't he stay?
The comment makes him huff out a soft chuckle under his breath, although it feels like it gets stuck in the base of his throat when Jimmy coughs. ]

...want to sit down? If you're hungry, I can go get you something to eat.
[ He'd offer to cook something, but it's not like he can quite do that in the motel. ]
