[He's actually pretty happy with this outcome. Even if he's not being as open as he'd like. But that's fine. This is the moment where he pulls away and says good bye, and then continues doing what he has to do. You can see him moving his arms right now-
To wrap her into a bigger hug, apparently. That was not the plan, Mettaton.
He should probably say something to explain this impromptu hug, but he doesn't trust that he won't spill something. He doesn't trust himself not to open his mouth and tell her that he knows that she'll leave him and that it's fine, really, he'll make do without her, so she doesn't have to cling on any longer than she needs.
So he selfishly holds onto her. For just a little longer.]
