Even pre-purgatory Pac would have more "relaxed/chill" days where he opts to wear a simpler hoodie and athletic pants instead of all the layers. As for his prosthetic leg--he likes to put stickers on it (such as his and Mike's individual logos, any that the eggs give him or he thinks look cool.)

Hear me out: Pac is just as afraid of intimacy as Fit is. Pac has a specific idea of what being close to other people will entail, and that's why he situates himself by the violent, unstable men.
They'll be exactly what he expects them to be, they're familiar.
That's why he still seeks out Cell during purgatory, and how he's decided to stay with him and try to walk him back to being Cellbit regardless of what Cell's done to him and his friends (including those who did not end up respawning or escaping.) Cell is already close to him, to his body and mind and Pac is afraid to lose that closeness no matter how ugly or unhealthy it is.
Any attention, any intimacy is still intimacy. A hand reaching out to harm you still has to touch your skin.
Meanwhile, Fit is from an environment that paradoxically prevents and ensures closeness, the bond between warriors, the conditional loyalties of where you lay your head.
Fit is aware that getting closer, getting what he wants will hurt him, and he still wants it anyways. I think he's prepared for the pain waiting for them both if he'll just reach out for it. As well, Fit has Ramón, a job, a mission, people who need him, other connections to the people around him. Pac doesn't.
And we see Pac keep people at an arm's length so that he won't have to risk the pain of being left behind by the people he cares about.
Considering old Fuga Impossivel 2 lore (which could be canon! they've been using parts of it) Pac and Mike are orphans, only fully having each other. The single constant between their adventures. Pulling capers, spending a long time in prison and then on a boat with other dangerous escapees, with whom they're now a twisted kind of family, but Richas has other dads, and people like Forever and Cellbit both have their own partners and demons right now.
So Pac during the Happy Pills arc? Walter Bob could be dead. Mike is in deep sleep, and Pac doesn't turn to anyone else for help. He doesn't reach out to the morning crew. He's self-sacrifically on his own, he goes on the drugs alone, and he begins to develop the antidote alone and what he says is that he doesn’t want to be sad again but he isolates himself in fear of it.
Let's think about the Pac who's openly affectionate to cover up the Pac who knows that no one needs him around and who's intelligent enough to know that challenging that understanding could destroy him.
That's why Pac won't confess either.
Pac avoids every concrete escalation because changing a relationship means risking losing it.

Pac comes back from purgatory.
It was hell but it had its moments of fun. Bonded with new people and survived every plague thrown at them.
But when he gets back. He cries tears of joy. Finally his home. He doesn't have to worry about disasters every hour and eye looking creatures. He celebrates and goes to spawn to see everyone gathering and relieved everything is going to be fine.
"Pac!"
He sees Fit in the distance and run, as fast as he can. Fit is running too. Pac is with an expression that Fit interpret as anguish and anxiety but also... Hope?
Pac doesn't even say anything and just hugs him, making Fit almost fall but he's a strong man, he can take it. And Pac hugs him so hard. Fit is little surprised, with the feeling of seeing Pac again, with the feeling of the warm. But he doesn't hesitate, just hugs him back just as tight, trying to contain his emotions to not overflow.
They stay quiet for a couple seconds, just hugging each other like no one's around. Fit can feel that Pac is crying, trembling and murmuring things in his chest.
"Are you okay Pac?"
"I will be... Can we leave for a quieter place?" Everyone is talking with each other at spawn, making a mess celebrating that everyone is back.
Pac is still hugging him, Fit doesn't complain.
They teleport to Fit & Ramon and go to Fit's room. Pac sit on the bed sighting relived.
"Sorry, I sitted here without asking, oh my god I'm all dirty and sweat sorry sorry" Pac's already standing.
"No no no, don't worry. You can seat wherever you want, don't worry about that. I can change the bed's clothes or whatever. Feel free to do whatever you like."
"Thank you Fit" Pac sits again.
So they talk. Mostly Pac. He talks all about the hell he went through. Fit who was standing now is sitting next to Pac. And Fit notices, every little -and big- new cut and wound. The messy hair and the dirty clothes, how Pac looks so tired. And Fit is so annoyed about that, how he couldn't protect him from all this. When Pac stops talking there is an awkward silence.
"Are you okay Fit?"
"Yeah just- I wish- I wish I was there."
"Oh c'mon, you don't need to say that. You have to take care of Ramon, right? I mean, I didn't need to worry to much because Richas still has Forever but-"
Fit holds Pac's hand with a serious look and Pac seems nervous.
"I missed you."
And Pac looks suprised, but doesn't move.
"I missed you too"
They stay like this for a moment.
"Can we have a date without dungeons, please?" Pac says with a laughing tone. "I'm kinda of tired from fighting."
Fit laughs in response and look away ashamed that he admitted it was a date.
"Of course, I mean, we can go on a adventure another day"
"Ooh yeah, I need a bath Fit! I'm stinking!" Pac says with a joking tone.
"Oooh god!" Fit laughs.
And they joke and make fun of one another.
They never leave each others hands.

qfit and qpac mean EVERYTHING to me you dont understand they're both such good fucking characters and i go crazy for how their developing relationship is actually being used to develop them more individually instead of making them entirely narratively inseparable from each other i love them so so much rahhhhh
