It's the first thing that comes to him; with the apology, the attention put upon himself. Why does Inigo need to apologise, think about any of that? When it doesn't matter to Tidus, and matters far less to him than any stink or dirt that clings to either of them right now.
"You make me happy. You make being here easier. I don't need an apology." Not an apology for being down, for not being where Inigo wants to be, but can't be. "--You're my friend, my best friend. I told you, and I mean it -- you matter to me more than anything. I want you to take care of yourself."
He thinks about pulling his head away to look at Inigo, but doesn't; wants to let Inigo have this support, his body to hold and lean on for as long as he needs.
"Okay?" So he can ask if he understands, that he'll accept it, without any looks.
