No, it's not you getting old. I share that opinion (then maybe I'm getting old, too? XD) Simple touches have something magical, I think, because they're nothing remarkable in themselves, but they express so much in the context. For this manip, I think the acceptance of touch (Jason accepting the hand on his hip, Kirill accepting the hand on his arm that holds the gun) means as much as doing the touching. It demonstrates a sense of belonging and trust and closeness, because everybody seeing it know they would never touch - or accept the touch of - anybody else besides each other. Maybe it's that what makes it so sexy - that in those simple touches lie so many deeper meanings, something outright sex could never have demonstrated as clearly.
