[It's a sign that he's so worn-down that his usual reserved nature is flat-out gone.
But he allows himself to be guided into the bathroom, and for Dazai to wash his hair first. The kisses along the way are like little sparks of warmth, reigniting his strength which has been lost from battles both physical and mental in nature. Touching does give him energy, of course, but this time it feels like more than just that.
Or maybe Bedivere's mind wants it to be more. It's hard to tell.
Regardless, he lets Dazai take care of him, though he does stay focused and moves as needed so Dazai can reach. A downside to showering together is that the height difference does affect things. Also, long hair takes a long time to wash, though Bedivere trusts that Dazai can be patient with it.
As Dazai finishes washing him, the warmth from those little touches and kisses has seeped into his bones, making him a bit more of the man from that morning. It's enough that Bedivere can finally respond to the affection, leaning in to kiss Dazai's forehead before standing up fully again.]
