#Munakata had to give him the day off bc he was scaring the squad

[ridiasfangirlings]

following my previous ask, imagine the same situation but in reverse, so this time we get docile saruhiko

Docile Fushimi would just be scary, imagine him all calm and agreeable and not even clicking his tongue or rolling his eyes or anything. The alphabet squad would probably be in a total panic, imagine them returning to S4 after Fushimi’s been hit with the Strain like it’s an emergency we think Fushimi-san’s been bodysnatched, look he’s smiling it’s scary make it stop. Even Munakata is thrown a little off balance by docile Fushimi, like on the one hand this is a good way to get Fushimi to play puzzles with him but at the same time a Fushimi who won’t even talk back or speak his annoyance is rather displeasing in its own way. Ultimately Munakata decides to give him the day off, because he’s scaring the rest of the squad too much and no one really knows how to handle him.

Fushimi decides it was very thoughtful of Captain to give him the day off and doesn’t argue (the squad are like what if he’s dying he didn’t even argue about all the work that still needs to be done), deciding to go for a walk all on his own. As he’s out he ends up running into Yata and imagine he just ignores Yata entirely, it’s Yata who notices that Fushimi just walked past him. On the one hand it’s good that Fushimi didn’t want to fight but Yata’s still really confused, like maybe Saruhiko didn’t see me. Imagine he’s out with Kamamoto who’s like let’s just keep walking then, we don’t need to get into a fight with him, but Yata’s like nope I’m gonna show that traitor that he can’t just ignore me. Kamamoto sighs and decides to go on ahead by himself.

Yata moves so he’s right in front of Fushimi as he’s like ‘Saruhiko,’ all threatening, and Fushimi just looks up and says ‘oh, Misaki.’ Yata’s like don’t use my first name and Fushimi says ‘sorry, Yata.’ Yata’s like that’s right you’re—wait did you just say sorry. Fushimi's like you don’t want me to use your first name right Yata, so I’ll stop. His tone is perfectly sincere and Yata’s like wait you are Saruhiko right. Fushimi says he hopes he isn’t bothering Yata, if so he’ll go walk somewhere else. Yata huffs that yeah you are bothering me and Fushimi's like oh sorry I’ll go this way then. Yata is just at a loss, he doesn’t know if he’s being made fun of or what. He’s also starting to get really worried though, like Saruhiko you’re okay right. Fushimi says he’s fine and thanks Yata for his concern, Yata’s like you know what why don’t we go to the hospital together just in case.
