It's true that they've always handled comforting each other differently - very differently, they're too weird, enough that people at Pandora occasionally thought they weren't even friends - but here, and now... Reim means what he said, even if Break was too shocked by his own emotional hangups to really digest it; he doesn't want to lose this man. It hasn't been long since he almost did, over and over and over—don't make him go through that again. Idiot.
So: a hug. Spending weeks putting Break back together without any time off for himself and his emotions did a number on him, something he probably hasn't acknowledged in any real sense until this very moment. It's all he can do to hold Break against him like he'll find some way to disappear if he lets go too soon. He needs a moment... this is him taking it.]
