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!

[bandagedheart]

What a sight you are~

[Dazai grabs Shuji’s ass and spreads him open, and the sight of his hole dripping with come is one of the hottest things he’s ever witnessed.]

I did say I had another gift for you.

[Dazai finally lets go of Shuji before venturing upstairs and returning with a wrapped gift box.]

Go ahead and open it!

[Inside Shuji will find a tail plug and a matching cat ear headband.]

[thesettingsun]

[The tail plug is cute, in that it is red-ish and meant for him to wear. Shuji doesn’t hesitate before sliding it inside himself, trapping the remaining come.

The ears, he tries not to mess his hair up more when he puts them on, but he does put them on. ]

Thank you, master.

[bandagedheart]

Do you like it? You look lovely~

[Dazai scratches behind Shuji’s fake ears with a grin.]

Do you want me to fill you up again later so you can be nice and full when you wear the tail?

[thesettingsun]

[The way Shuji lights up a little at that - feeling full even when Dazai's stopped fucking him - is probably answer enough, but he wouldn't be so rude as to not say it out loud.]

Please. I want that more than anything.

[...except the Akutagawa Prize or something, but. That's a totally different kind of want.]

[bandagedheart]

Oh? You know, that gives me an idea...

[He traces a finger through Shuji’s come covered belly before bringing it to his lips and licking it off.]

What if I filled you up then put a plug in you to keep you full even while you were at the library? No one would know...

[It would have to be a tailless plug, of course, but it’s an idea.]

[thesettingsun]

...I'd have to take it out if I was fighting, I need to focus for that.

[Which having a plug and being full of come is not conducive to.

He might have just said no, but he knows Chuuya well enough to know that everyone in the library knows about his relationship with Dazai by now.]

But otherwise, I'd like that.

[bandagedheart]

True enough!

[Dazai yawns as he finally moves to get up from the couch.]

Come take a bath with me, Kitten.

[His eyes flick down to the tail sticking out of Shuji’s ass then back up.]

I can fill you up again afterwards~

[He stands up from the couch and makes his way to his luxurious bathroom to draw them a bath before stripping down bare.]

Do you want to see what’s under the bandages, Kitten?

[thesettingsun]

[Shuji follows like an obedient pet. The feeling of the plug shifting inside him is... interesting, and not in a bad way.]

Only if you want to show it to me, master.

[...He's well aware of how many kinds of scars a person can have.]

[bandagedheart]

I wouldn't have offered if I didn't.

[And so Dazai slowly begins unraveling the bandages around his arms first, and beneath them lie scars that tell a tragic tale without him ever saying a word.]

You know, one of my ultimate goals has always been to commit suicide with a beautiful woman...

[A pause as he hums.]

But now I'm thinking I may just stick around a bit longer~

[thesettingsun]

[Shuji's expression doesn't show any signs of shock. It's as if he'd expected those kinds of scars.

...Because he's Dazai Osamu. And-]

People with our name have a hard time killing ourselves. It took me five tries before I actually died.

[bandagedheart]

It's a tragedy all the way around.

[Dazai won't ask for Shuji's reasons for trying to take his own life, nor will he state his own. It doesn't need to be said.

He removes the bandages around his neck next, revealing silvery bands of scar tissue all the way around.]

It really is a time consuming process to take all these off before bathing!

[And to put them back on, but they're simply a part of who he is.

The other bandages follow suit, leaving Dazai bare before he climbs into the warm water. He grabs a bottle near the edge of the tub and pours some rose scented oil into the water before beckoning Shuji over.]

Join me, Kitten.

[thesettingsun]

[He can sympathize with having a complicated process for getting naked, even if his reasons are much simpler in that he wants his outfits to be fancy.

Shuji climbs into the bath, trying to keep the tail out of the water as much as possible. He doesn't want to ruin this gift just after getting it.]

Shall I wash your back, master?

[bandagedheart]

I’d love that.

[Dazai adores being pampered, after all. Why do you think he keeps fancy scented oils around?]

Remember when we first met, Kitten? You were so upset that I hadn’t read your writing before!

[He also loves teasing Shuji.]

[thesettingsun]

[Oh, that. That seems so long ago.

Shuji tries not to grump too badly as he picks out a soap for Dazai.]

I'm a dead author. My writing is all that survives me. And I am one of the most famous authors of modern Japan, you know...

[bandagedheart]

I don’t doubt it! I was merely teasing you before.

[He might’ve read all of Shuji’s works in his spare time since then, and he might’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of them, but he doesn’t just come right out and say it.]

I’m so lucky to have such a brilliant and beautiful Kitten all to myself~

[He hasn’t actually fucked anyone else since this pet arrangement started. It’s a miracle.]

[thesettingsun]

[Shuji can't actually purr like a kitten, but the noise he makes when Dazai praises him is pretty close. His master called him brilliant, and beautiful...]

I'm all yours, Dazai-sama.

[Carefully, he starts washing Dazai's back, making sure not to leave any inch of him unattended. He needs to do a good job so Dazai will praise him again.]

[bandagedheart]

[Dazai sighs happily as Shuji begins washing his back, and he relaxes completely as he inhales the scent of roses on the warm, steamy air.]

You know, I used to have a partner that I could rely on to do this kind of thing... [Whether he makes Shuji more curious or jealous by telling him this, the result is bound to be entertaining.]

His name is Chuuya as well.

[thesettingsun]

I think my dick would shrivel up if I ever tried to sleep with Chuuya...

[Dazai is a braver man than him.]

[bandagedheart]

Really? He was awfully cute...

[And fierce, for a little guy. Why is every Chuuya tiny, angry, and fond of hats?]

Not that I’m sad that you haven’t! Less reasons for me to be jealous~

[thesettingsun]

...I've been married twice, had two long-term mistresses, and I can't name my one-night-stands even if you ask because I don't remember.

[So about that jealousy thing.]

[bandagedheart]

Goodness! You were quite the player in your previous life, I see!

[As long as they’re sharing their conquests...]

One night stands aside, I’ve only had a couple of steady partners. There’s just so many lovely men and women out there~

[thesettingsun]

It was the thirties. You got married and had kids - I was about the same age as you when I got married the first time. In hindsight, staying single would have been better for me.

[Given how bad of a husband and a father he was...]

[bandagedheart]

You had kids? That’s surprising!

[Because Dazai could never see himself as a father, and Shuji seems like a less than stellar choice for a dad. But if that’s what was expected of him at the time, then of course he had to follow through.]

Well, now you’re free to do as you please!

[thesettingsun]

[Dazai is 100% correct about this.]

I'd rather only have responsibilities to you, Master.

[God knows he screws everything else up.]
