I don't think it's odd tbh. Kei and Kiyo relationship started in a very unhealthy way, and she was the only person that Kiyo was free to act like himself for a long time. Even now, only Ryuuen is capable of provide a relationship in the same level.

You could say they becoming close was a natural consequence of their unhealthy relationship. His relationship with Kei was a turning point to his character too. If Kiyo had abandoned Kei in the rooftop, it's very unlikely that Kiyo would become someone who would move himself to help Ichinose, Hirata and so many other people. Kei is the one person that accepted him even when she was a victim used to show how bad person Kiyotaka can be if he wants. I'm pretty sure meeting such a person was very meaningful for Kiyotaka. Then we can say that in terms of Kiyotaka emotional progress, Kei is the most important character so far.

So let's analyze again: we have an interesting relationship, we have a big trigger, the two are attractive to each other, and the most important they can understand each other very well, even without words. It's natural that Kiyotaka would care about Kei so much. I could also add that Kei offers what Kiyotaka wants: normality.
