[ there is a warm, kind smile that spreads over his face in response to that concern. he appreciates it. he really, deeply, and truly does. but there's just something that holds him back from relying too deeply on him. or, rather, it's not even relying on him... he trusts fushiguro and knows he'd cover his back for things, but he still doesn't want to burden him too much. especially since fushiguro was going through plenty with adjusting to this place, too. ]
You've already helped me a lot. I appreciate it.
[ he is grateful for everything he's been given. truly. and he does consider fushiguro to be his friend. probably even the closest friend he's had so far, considering what they've been through together. but it was more complicated than simple friendship, something between a casual friend and a comrade in arms. he could have fun with him, fool around with him, enjoy their time together and he's seen fushiguro warm up to things, but itadori himself kept a small divide between them.
was it to protect fushiguro or himself? probably the former and probably from himself. he doesn't have that same excuse here, so to speak, but it didn't mean that the possibility of something happening wasn't there. ]
