One moment he's happily hugging Taiki, pretty much just having his usual banter with Tidus - one of them getting all sulky is part of it, anyway, since Inigo sure has been on the other side of this coin before.
But then Taiki shifts in his hold. At first surprise sets in when Taiki slips out of the hug, instead grabbing his hand, but the moment Taiki speaks beyond Tidus's name, Inigo realises exactly what's going on here.
He immediately shoots into panic mode. No matter how Inigo and Tidus may treat each other for fun at times, it's like they had a silent agreement all this time to make sure to not do the same to Taiki - to protect his soft heart from it. But despite them only having a go at each other, it seems they misfired and did end up making Taiki feel bad.
Once Taiki's gaze is on Tidus, and then on the floor, Inigo can feel his face visibly paling. And once Taiki is looking down, Inigo looks at Tidus, trying to catch the other's gaze - while his own is wide-eyed, obviously panicked. He dramatically mouths hug him!! because he knows Tidus has to be the one to reach out and bridge this gap, Inigo is pretty sure he might just make it worse if he says something or tries to patch it up in Tidus's place.
