He's so caught up in making sure he doesn't show any sign of tears so Taiki won't get upset that Inigo doesn't even notice Tidus's reaction at first. He's too busy looking at Taiki, instead searching his expression for any worry.
But Inigo notices Taiki's gaze sliding over towards Tidus. And he knows what's happening with the latter the moment he sees that look in Taiki's eyes. He doesn't even have to look at Tidus to know he must be crying.
Okay. Fine. Whatever! Begone, heavy feeling in his gut, it's time for Inigo to be the strong one here and keep this situation from collapsing and guilting the hell out of Taiki.
He immediately accepts the hand Taiki gives him, moving his own so he's holding the other's hand rather than just letting Taiki's hand rest on his own. He gives him an encouraging smile, suddenly seeming much less like he's about to burst out into tears too, and gently puts the paper Taiki gave him down on the table.
Mostly so he can free his other arm up to fall over Tidus's shoulders, Inigo's hand falling on the shoulder furthest away from him. It's not a full on hug, just a reassuring side squeeze. Without looking at Tidus, like he's trying to give the other some privacy with his tears.
Instead Inigo keeps looking at Taiki, silently mouthing, 'you did well', before Taiki can get the idea that he's done anything bad.
wow i can't believe taiki is like "yeah it's fine if inigo cries" THANKS PAL
