^Hide also does that when he's nervous.

What the manga lacks the novels make up for in this case. The story Bible is entirely from Hide's PoV and is dedicated to showing how devoted Hide is to Kaneki. Hide constantly thinks about Kaneki, worries about Kaneki, keeps an eye out for Kaneki, put his life in danger for Kaneki-Hide's life pretty much revolves around his best friend. The only thing weird about Hide's relationship with Kaneki imo is how utterly devoted he is. Really, he seems to be just as lonely. At worst, Hide seems to have developed a codependency since he's so used to spending all his time with Kaneki and the latter having relied on him for so long.

I think Hide's a shady person with something to hide though. Bible also shows that he does keep things from Kaneki, but whatever his secrets are, I doubt they're purposely malignant towards his friend. Not unless he's gone completely off the deep end by now which...wouldn't surprise me tbh...up until the end of the first series though, I have no doubt that Hide did what he thought was best for Kaneki.
