#well prelude to the Fushimi Fan Club maybe

[ridiasfangirlings]

When you mentioned that "weird sort of protectiveness on behalf of Intelligence" I immediately thought of them to being the group that started the Fushimi fan club. Like it makes sense right that they have all these resources to get information and pictures of Fushimi (they probably use most of their budget towards this). This later spreads through other departments once they've taken a liking to Fushimi but all the senior club members/executives came from intelligence and they are proud of that

Well someone had to start it after all XD Maybe they were the ones, like they were the first members who got to see how competent Fushimi really is and the first ones who ended up working closely with him so of course they quickly became attached to him and to his sad lonely outlook and deep need for affection. Like imagine when he first joins Intelligence they probably didn’t care for him at all, wondering why Captain had to stick them with this sullen brat and possibly also questioning why Munakata would assign a former Homra member to the Intelligence section of all things, that seems like an outright contradiction to them. But then once Fushimi’s actually there everyone can see how good he is at his job, even if they disagree with his methods or wish he would follow proper procedure more often no one can argue that he’s anything but competent. One day Fushimi’s missing due to being out on one of Munakata’s secret missions by himself and one of the Intelligence members feels like it’s not the same without him so she’s sitting there sifting through various pictures of Fushimi that she just so happens to have saved on her PDA. Another member walks by and wonders what she’s looking at, she tries to hide the phone but the other member sees it and is like ’…Is that Fushimi-san?’ Before she can reply the other member is like cool I have pictures of him too and soon they’re totally comparing.

Around this time Munakata starts encouraging everyone to form happy clubs around shared interests in order to strengthen the bonds between them. A few of the Intelligence members get together and decide to form like the Fushimi Appreciation Society, which is initially conceived in order to give Fushimi all the praise and encouragement he clearly needs. This slowly evolves from just trying to show Fushimi appreciation to actually sharing pictures and stories about him and soon it’s not so much an appreciation club as a fan club. Eventually members of other departments stumble on the secret fan club, like someone from requisitions sneaks in and requests to look at surveillance footage of Fushimi for…personal reasons and the members know they have found a kindred spirit. In time the fan club’s membership grows to include members from all departments including Special Forces (Hidaka was an easy recruit, Akiyama surprisingly easy as well), a couple members of Homra and secretly even the Captain himself.
