He should have seen Senku going, but he hadn't, not in that way. Senku was a straightforward guy just to him, but there was obviously more there. Just like any of them--like the three of them, and trying to navigate people and their own issues.
...which he probably really didn't get to be included in compared to them, but. Man, he knows his thing about hugs can't be as bad as how they're handling people.
But really, maybe it's better like this: for them both to have the distance, and to decompress. Was it better though for Inigo though, to be left alone? With the way he was about affection, and having people near.
He can see to Senku later, Tidus figures. For now, he waits at Inigo's side. For him to give himself time, to do what he needs to calm. If just for a moment, but hopefully for more. Just as long as he doesn't do or say anything to send the other guy spiralling. Letting him speak, but then putting a hand on his shoulder, dipping his head near his.
"Hey, don't worry about it. I don't think you're weird, you know? How about- this. Neither of us are weird. So let's just forget about it for right now, okay?"
Let them meet in the middle. None of this was worth some dumb feelings over hugs. Tidus never wanted Inigo to get hurt over it, or so torn up.
"I know this sounds like bad timing, but... you wanna take a five minute breather in a hold that's kinda like a hug?" Fondly, gently: "I hear they're great for when you're feeling upset. You don't need to do anything. Just relax."
