Chronology : Post-canon AU where Fred was never murdered Background relationship : Roxie/Amos (past)
Fred really was a sweetheart at the end of the day.
After the whole your ex-wife tried to kill me trial, he'd apologized to Amos, explaining how he'd been in a dark place when Roxie approached him and slept with her despite knowing she was married because he'd just been that desperate. Truth be told, Amos never loathed him for that situation.
"It's okay" Amos would always say (this was a conversation they had quite a few times upon getting together). "You're not the one who hurt me" he reassured because Fred hadn't done shit to him. Hell, the two hadn't even been friends when the affair happened. Roxie had been the one to, after years of treating him like shit, break his trust in such an intimate way.
"Still" Fred would insist. "It wasn't fair to you and I'm sorry for my involvement"
"You apologize too much" Amos would tell him with a chuckle that would quickly be reciprocated. "She almost took your life" he'd remind. "I think you've more than paid your due for any wrongdoing"
"You don't worry that I'll cheat on you?"
...
"We'll just have to wait and see, I suppose"
