[ He's exhausted. Almost drowning, while having been struggling wildly for your life, really takes it out of you. Part of him feels like he could fall asleep right here, even despite the lashing rain and the howl of the wind.
Yosuke continuing to hold him probably has something to do with that.
But he can't. Even if uncle and Nanako didn't pick up on it this evening, they'd realize in the morning that he'd never come back home, and Dojima would be frantic. Not to mention when his friends found out...
