[Perhaps he had needed it. Something so simple as contact with another person could be a balm on raw nerves, overstimulated senses and painful memories. Kazuha sags in against him and he adjusts his hold to make the man more comfortable, dropping his head to press a soft kiss to the top of his hair.
Diluc doesn't have Kazuha's keen senses but he doesn't need them to know that right now he smells like the storm outside - like rain and static.
The man ends up all but curled in his lap as time passes softly and quietly in this way. Diluc knows he runs hot and people can find that warmth to be a comfort, and he moves to pull Kazuha those last few inches so he is on his lap - no doubt more comfortable for the both of them.
Kazuha had said he didn't expect to sleep so Diluc doesn't anticipate that he will drift off entirely, but if he can offer the man some respite in a situation where he would normally find none... then he is happy to do that.
And maybe, as Kazuha had said, he really had needed this too.]
