He knows that is in Gavin's nature to do so, which is why he's stressing it. Didn't Gavin know that some things you had to fight for? Also he's a helper, and maybe a little selfish - seeing someone making it work because they were different? He's seen too many break apart because of it.

"I'm not the one you need to be sorry to," he says simply, standing up from the bench. Well he should be 'sorry', but not for that. He's still feeling like he's some bad guy by how Gavin is still keeping his distance, but that isn't something he's about to bring up at this moment.

Course it does make saying 'good-bye' a bit awkward since he's used to giving a pat on the back or something. Instead he just glances at Gavin for a moment with a sigh before looking down at his feet with raised brows. "Guess I'll see you around then." He stands there for a moment, trying to think of anything, but eventually just turns and walks away.
