[ Of course Fabian doesn't want to talk about it. There's a reason he's noped out pretty much every single time Jawbone started on his Jawbone talks - he doesn't want to talk about it. There's no reason to talk about it. Fabian has functioned just fine for eighteen years while not talking about anything.
A part of him is trying to figure out how to nope out of this situation even as Gorgug speaks. He doesn't just want to leave - also cares enough about Gorgug to not want to be that cruel to him - but Fabian also just does not want to talk. The very idea is giving him metaphorical hives.
But then Gorgug say that last part. So quietly, yet so sweetly. And for however much Fabian wants to run, he can't do that when Gorgug is saying that.
So after staring for a moment, Fabian seems to - at least partially - give up. He sits down, out of reach of just jumping onto the Hangman and taking off, practically flopping onto the ground like a collapsing pudding. Bent over, even as he's sitting. His expression slowly slipping into something more-- awkward. Reluctant. Embarrassed, even. ]
You can't just say that.
[ It's not fair, Gorgug!!! Pulling the 'I care about you' card on him?? Uncool! So uncool!
A pause, and then, looking every single bit like he has to forcefully drag the words out of himself: ] I was worried about you.
