Warnings: Spoilers for Season 2
Some things do change, even if we don't immediately notice them.
'You don't believe me, do you?'
Looking back on it now - the tense and suffocating atmosphere in the room, Otoya's eyes on him, already devoid of hope, his own painfully stretched smile - Fujimaru thinks he should have known something was gonna break. Maybe had broken already.
Fujimaru also knows they should have talked about it later on, about how it happend and why things got so out of hand. Knows he was the one at fault and in the wrong. Knows too, that he should have been the one to apologize. A real apology - with eye-contact and honest words and a bow - instead of a hurried text messege. But he had been a coward then, scared of making things worse and being alone and losing a friend. Another one.
And Otoya had never held it against him.
Not the fact that Fujimaru didn't protest the questioning, not the fact that the defenses coming from his lips were half-hearted at best or the fact that Fujimaru agreed to trick him with a bugged room. Not even the fact that he might as well be the one responsible for Kujo Miwako's suicide. He didn't mention anything about being kidnapped by J either.
In retrospect, Fujimaru thinks it would have been better if he had. If he had shouted and sreamed and accused him of being a murderer, a traitor and so many other things.
The worst kind of friend.
But he didn't and neither did Fujimaru himself.
Content with what he had - a father to be proud of (eternally), a now healthy sister (for a life-time), a forgiving friend (maybe).
Or thought he had.
Because it isn't until two year later - when they are facing each other in a room that seems tense and suffocating, and this time there is violence instead of pleading glances - that Fujimaru realizes something has changed. Realizes that something has shifted, is different from the way they used to be, because it should have been him that Otoya trusted.
Him, not Orihara Maya.
