Continuation for bandagedheart.

[thesettingsun]

[Very few people get this dressed up for a bar crawl. It looks like it'd be hell to wash, and the only reason you'd wear it out to the bar is an obsession with fashion.

So that's one clue about who this patron sitting at a table is, since he forgot to tell other-Dazai how to identify himself. As for him, when he sees Dazai come in with bandages visible on his arms, he makes an (incorrect) assumption that this is the injury that caused that text and thus this is Dazai.

Well, he's half right, at least.]

Dazai!

[Oda can be a heavy drinker when he wants to be. This will only end well.]

Ya never heard of the decadent school either, huh? Me 'n Dazai 'n Ango, we wrote stuff that pissed off the establishment.

[bandagedheart]

Did you now? You sound like quite the trio!

[He misses those days dearly...]

The Ango I know is all about business and order. He’d faint at the very idea of rebelling!

[Exceot that he’s like a triple agent, but shh.]

And the Oda I knew...would’ve told us both how terrible of an idea breaking the rules was while secretly doing it himself...

[He looks a bit sad now, but the smile remains as he takes another drink.]

[hurrayformarriage]

Yer Ango sounds like a bore. Might be fun to stick my Ango 'n him in a room together, see what goes down.

[He's placing his bets on author-Ango driving business-Ango to crack first.]

Yer Oda sounds more fun.

[bandagedheart]

[Dazai chuckles softly at that image.]

We might have a massacre on our hands, then.

[All the mirth immediately leaves him when other-Oda mentions his Oda, however, and Dazai purposely hides his expression behind his glass.]

He was.

[hurrayformarriage]

[...Odasaku pushes his glass towards Dazai. You need an extra drink more than he does.]

Wanna talk about anythin' else?

[bandagedheart]

[Dazai wordlessly takes the glass and drains it before forcing a smile.]

How about we get nice and wasted and see where the night takes us?

[hurrayformarriage]

If that ain't the best plan I've heard all day. Bartender, another!

[And so he keeps drinking. And keeps drinking... Nobody's got tolerance like a decadent author.

Even he'll get drunk eventually, however.]

[bandagedheart]

[Despite what he’d said, Dazai takes his time and paces himself with the alcohol, and ends up only pleasantly buzzed while Oda seems very...drunk.]

Oh my! Should I cut you off?

[Dazai grins and takes another sip of his sake.]

I can take you home, if you’d like.

[hurrayformarriage]

You'd better! Dazai-kun'll get it in his head to worry 'bout me again.

[As if Shuji ever stopped worrying about Odasaku.]

[bandagedheart]

We can’t have that!

[Dazai flashes Oda his biggest, most dashing smile before ushering him out to his personal car and driving him back to his apartment.

He said home, not the library. He can’t risk Shuji finding out about this.

When they pull up and get out of the car Dazai makes sure to keep Oda steady all the way up to his suite.]

Please make yourself at home! I’ll take you back to the library in the morning...

[hurrayformarriage]

[Odasaku's drunk enough to waver a little when Dazai guides him in, but he doesn't stagger too much.

When he sees the inside of Dazai's apartment, he whistles.]

You rich or somethin'?

[bandagedheart]

Just lucky.

[Not in the slightest, but he doesn’t want to get into exactly how he came by his fortune.]

Can I get you some tea? Coffee? Water?

[hurrayformarriage]

'm fine~

[Oda flops down on Dazai's couch, leaning back against one of the cushions..]

This's soft... Heaps better than anythin' we got at the library.

[bandagedheart]

Alrighty then~

[Dazai looks on with amusement as Oda makes himself comfortable, and he flops down right next to him with a contented sigh.]

You know, you look rather fetching like this~

[Dazai takes the liberty of brushing a stray strand of hair out of Oda’s face with a warm smile.]

[hurrayformarriage]

Not to brag, but I’m a pretty fetchin’ kind of guy!

[ As for Dazai... Oda gives him a once-over. ]

Yer not bad yerself.

[bandagedheart]

You flatterer.

[Dazai has been a proper gentleman all night, but now that he’s got such a lovely specimen here, alone, in his apartment...]

I could show you a nice time, you know...

[He turns Oda’s head until they’re face to face before leaning in to press their lips together.]

[hurrayformarriage]

[Oda's Dazai will probably be mad, but it's not like Dazai's never stuck his dick where it doesn't belong and gotten in trouble for it. Besides it's just a one-night-stand.

Satisfied with that logic, Oda returns the kiss, resting one hand on Dazai's cheek and the other on his shoulder. He's a little drunk, after all, and a deep kiss could make a fellow dizzy if he doesn't have something to steady himself.]

[bandagedheart]

[Dazai is more than fine with that, and once Oda has a hold on him he deepens the kiss, pushing his tongue past Oda’s lips to lick into his mouth. He tastes like booze, of course, and so does Dazai, but there’s also something sweet that keeps him wanting more.

Eventually he pulls back and gives Oda a sly grin before kissing and nipping at his neck.]

[hurrayformarriage]

[It's impossible for Odasaku not to tilt his head to give Dazai more room to kiss his neck. It's probably impossible for anyone, since Dazai is so good at finding his sweet spots even just after they've met.

Oda lets out a soft groan.]

We gonna do this on the couch?

[Couch sex is fine sometimes, but kind of uncomfortable...]

[bandagedheart]

The bed sounds better, actually.

[Dazai can’t blame Oda for wanting to move this somewhere comfortable, and he pulls away before heading upstairs with a come hither look over his shoulder.

He sheds his coat, vest and shirt in record time, leaving him topless aside from his bandages as he sits on the edge of the bed and waits.]

[hurrayformarriage]

[Oda follows close behind. His belt-book-holster-thing has to go first - he takes it off pretty efficiently considering how much he had to drink - but after that it's a relatively quick shedding of his jacket and shirt before he joins Dazai on the bed.]

This's a heck of a lot more roomy. Ya get this whole bed to yerself?

[bandagedheart]

[Oda is thin but not terribly so, and Dazai lets his hands wander over his chest as he leans in to nip at his ear.]

I do. It’s so lonely sometimes~

[He purrs hotly against Oda’s ear before gently pushing him onto his back and kissing a trail down to his chest.]

You’re gorgeous...

[He flicks his tongue out over Oda’s nipple before reaching down to massage between his legs.]

[hurrayformarriage]

[If you can't see his ribs, he's doing pretty well for weight lately. Not that Oda can think too hard about that, with Dazai's hand between his legs.]

Yer not - haaa, bad yerself-

[He's already breathless, with the sight of Dazai above him and his words purred in Oda's ear. He traces a line down Dazai's back, unable to keep his hands to himself entirely.]

[bandagedheart]

[Dazai arches into his touch, and really, how is he supposed to resist when Oda sounds so lovely?]

I could use my mouth on you...is that what you want?

[Dazai plays with the zipper of Oda’s pants and pops open the button before sliding his hand beneath the fabric to rub him through his underwear.]

[hurrayformarriage]

[There's an answer on Oda's tongue as he presses into Dazai's touch, but his attempt to say something is overtaken by a coughing fit. He covers his mouth with his arm, but there's no hiding it with how long it goes on.

Dammit, why now of all times...]
