B had told Jake, briefly, about the bathroom. About graduating.
He didn't tell him that he was leaving. So when B keeps showing up to custodial, Jake's grateful for the help. He hands him a broom, still tells him what needs doing and where, just because it's familiar. Because Jake knows that when big things happen, familiarity is absolutely necessary.
When the bottle is handed to him and B tells him he's leaving, that's less good. He takes the bottle because that's what you do when someone gives you something, but there's definite confusion in his face for a moment. "You ain't gonna stick around."
It's not a question. He didn't think B would feel comfortable as a warden, but - well, time is running out.
