subaru: they have. such a relationship. i saw a tiktok today where it said that sibling relationships have a particular progression timeline where it's "if i did not deal with your bullshit growing up i would hold a blood grudge against you" and honestly that's them, i think if they grew up together as brothers they wouldn't get half as grated by the other for things they're pretty guilty of as well; subaru was aloof and high horse once too, before he gained friends and understood you can't be that way sometimes, if things matter to them then you should see why and if it can matter to you, too...
anyway, he does love amami a lot, he was serious when he first held out his hand and he's still serious now, he wants to be friends with the other even if might seem to outsiders that he's more annoying to amami than anything. subaru trusts him. nothing more is evident of this fact than him being the only person outside the situation who knew what subaru intended. he's mad at the other for seemingly not returning the friendship he'd offered first, for distancing or removing himself the way he does from situations he thinks are immature (and sometimes they are, especially with subaru,) but they're nonetheless important to subaru to go through, because he can only work things out once cards are on the table and amami always seems to have his close to his chest.
it's not important in the end that amami wasn't going to support subaru. it's not important in the end that amami didn't jump to his defense and just, in his mind, agreed on the sideline once he saw others safely do so first. it's that he said "you wouldn't understand" when he knows full well subaru of all people might, which struck hard... despite that, though, despite that? he'd still very much call amami someone you could trust in a pinch, even if he'd been hurt and said otherwise. amami's important to him, he just shows it a lot better than amami does him......
but you know what
he'd definitely call amami part of his family, just like he does trickstar. they may not always get along, but they have the same goals at the end of the day and that's ultimately why subaru knows that there's no need for them to be enemies or anything less than friends -- because though their methods and thought processes will rarely match up, they want the same thing and know the other will, unfortunately, try almost anything to succeed in it
it's funny, i think subaru's thought well of amami ever since they first really spoke to each other... i think in the fourth floor hallway? where amami told him a lot about the school, and in exchange subaru brought up some things he'd learned himself... but regardless, it's why he went through the trouble of making sure amami'd be seen in a good light when the truth of "clamor" came out, why he didn't do what he and natsume both really wanted to do and say "hey, this happened" so on and so forth -- because he wanted to do it the way amami did for them, so people couldn't assume or think their own thoughts on it first... and it's just unfolded in such a way where i think
honestly natsume is probably right that subaru and amami shouldn't be friends but there's just enough that subaru wants to be anyway, in this and the next life... i'm struggling to word exactly everything, and in the way i want so that it's clear the root of a lot of their fights isn't what happens but how it happens, and it's mostly a matter of them not communicating properly for one reason or another... i feel it is anyway, i think if they could read each other's minds it might be easier
kaede: that her man!!! her boy!!! u all better cheer so loud for this normal ass guy or this school is goin' up in flames. real talk though, amami is someone she trusts without a single doubt and looks to for advice and affirmation, especially since he's been here longer than her and knows so much more as a result... though she might be embarrassed, kaede does appreciate him hyping her so much since it makes things a little easier making-friends wise if they have a good starting opinion of her since she's. sort of useless at making them herself, honestly, for all her charisma and leadership skills.....
she still doesn't know what he's thinking a lot of the time, but she's thankful she's had the chance to get to know him here, whereas they didn't really get the chance before; kaede can certainly say that he's an enigma, but someone who puts her at ease and makes her feel like a normal teenage girl For Better Or Worse. and just as he hopes she knows that he has her back, she hopes that he knows that she has his, too.
