Hard to say this early on, since we don't really know the full group dynamic. We know Mutsuki seems to be the closest to Sasaki out of the group.

And yeah, that does seem to be something Mutsuki does when really uncomfortable. He did it back in Ch.5, so it seems to be a typical "Mutsuki is really uncomfortable/upset" kind of gesture. People may develop guarding/nervous gestures in relation to some part of themselves they feel is vulnerable or unpleasant. Since we've already been told Mutsuki was never comfortable as a girl, that gesture probably developed as a result of the discomfort. (Not just the body discomforts, but probably having to wear skirts or dresses.)
