There's more to the story than that ... the repercussions of the kiss, of course, and a cameo by Sam's fictional wife who is remarkably okay with his feelings for G, but what hits me every time I read it is the absolute trust between Sam and G. These are guys who trust each other with their lives, their fears, their vulnerabilities, and it shows.
