My favorite part of Fellowship of the Ring is how, when Sam hesitates on the edge of the Shire, Frodo doesn’t just dismiss his fear or make little of it, he walks back to Sam’s side, stands beside him, and takes that step with him. When Sam has to do something scary, Frodo meets him where he is and does it with him, and that’s exactly what Sam does by going with him to destroy the Ring, it’s him, it’s Frodo, it’s them, it’s who they are together, meeting each other where they are, and taking the scary steps with them. I don’t care what kind of love you call this, as long as you call it true.
