That would certainly make sense. The truth is, Klaus has never really interacted with Them that much in his life. When they were kids, Ben had always kept them caged up inside himself as much as possible, had hated bringing them out because they were violent and unpredictable. It seems like, now that Ben is back, he's got them under control more, or...gotten used to the idea of having them, letting them out.
Ben's hands feel good, moving over his skin like that, and god, it feels like it's been so long since he was touched like this, gentle and caring. Ben's fingers slide over his ribs, his fingertips feel soft and warm against his skin, and he sobs again, his chest heaving under Ben's hands. Ben is telling him this is good, and nice, and he nods into Ben's hair.
"It's...yeah...no one's touched...no one's hugged me like this since Dave."
It's tough to admit, even though he knows Ben already knows that.
