[ His gaze stays on Steve for only a moment longer before he closes his eyes as well, shutting out any would be distractions. It's similar for Sam - he reminds himself every that the symbiote doesn't control him, that there's a difference between the mental closeness that it wants with the other Hosts and the companionship that Sam seeks out and welcomes.
Sam chose this, chose Steve. He would every time, symbiote or not, and he doesn't worry as he widens their connection. As he settles in, too, and tries not to think too hard on just how much Steve feels like home.
His own touch is the warmth of the sun, the mist of clouds, the feel of slow, even breathing and the sound of a steady heart beat. He flows into Steve's mind with the sensation of a light breeze, seeking out Steve's defenses to bolster them. To merge with them, wings starting to curl in around them both, and slowly the rest of the Nest seems just a little bit quieter. He stops there, not necessarily out of hesitancy to go further, more testing it as is. ]
