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!

Comments

[thesalamander]

[A perfect gentleman and a worthy boyfriend, giving no reason to disapprove of their relationship.]

Good. He's very earnest with his affection, so at the very least I want the person who's dating him to treasure him.

[He is a treasure, even when he's difficult.]

I don't want to scare you off. Just consider this old man as your boyfriend's family. It's better if we know each other and get along.

[bandagedheart]

Of course!

[Dazai is the prince of schmooze, after all, and he'll make sure to keep up the nice guy act whenever Ibuse is around.]

Would you like some coffee? Tea? You're welcome to stay until closing!

[The ADA never really closes, but Dazai isn't about to play host all day long.]

[thesalamander]

Thank you, but I wouldn't want to get in the way of your work. I can give you my number if you need me.

[If you're seeking advice on How To Deal With Shuji Tsushima, he's one of the best people to ask.]

I appreciate you taking the time to talk to me like this.

[bandagedheart]

That would be perfect!

[Dazai exchanges numbers with Ibuse before standing up from his chair and making his way to the door.]

It was a pleasure chatting with you!

[He opens the door and escorts Ibuse back down the hallway and into the main office, bidding him farewell, and that’s when a very exhausted but accomplished looking Atsushi races up to him, very important looking papers in hand.]

Dazai-san...I finished that report like you asked...

[Atsushi hands over the papers, and Dazai takes them with a warm grin before affectionately ruffling Atsushi’s oddly cut hair.]

Thank you, Atsushi-kun! I knew could rely on you!

[thesettingsun]

[Shuji had been considering whether to follow after Ibuse, who'd politely said farewell and made his exit, when Atsushi came up. And of course Dazai has coworkers, Shuji knows that, but that smile... that hair ruffle...

Shuji doesn't realize he's staring at Atsushi until a few seconds later, when he snaps his attention back to Dazai.]

...Do you have anything in mind after work?

[Work, where Atsushi will be with him the entire day. Maybe Dazai will ruffle his hair again.]

[beneathmoonlight]

[Atsushi is still a bit miffed that he’d been stuck doing Dazai’s paperwork for him again, but he can’t stay mad when Dazai ruffles his hair like that, and he ends up grinning despite himself.

He’d been so caught up in his work that he hadn’t even noticed the redhead waiting around, and from the way he speaks to Dazai, Atsushi can only assume that they know each other. Of course, being the polite sweetheart that he is, Atsushi wants to introduce himself as well, and he turns to the stranger and bows in greeting before giving him his warmest smile.]

Oh! Hello, I’m Atsushi Nakajima. I don’t think we’ve met before! Do you know Dazai-san?

[thesettingsun]

Shuji Tsushima.

[Don't immediately show hostility, Shuji. At least try to be polite.]

He's my... we're involved.

[He can't just come out and say that Dazai's his master in polite company.]

[bandagedheart]

[Atsushi blinks a few times, looking a bit confused, but then realization dawns on him and he blushes like mad.]

O-oh...I see...um. It’s nice to meet you!

[Dazai had been watching their little exchange with amusement right up until Shuji mentioned the two of them being involved, and once Atsushi excuses himself to go find out why Kunikida is glaring daggers at him from the doorway Dazai crosses his arms and looks at Shuji with a hint of disapproval in his eyes.]

Shuji-kun...I hadn’t planned on telling anyone at the ADA about our involvement.

[thesettingsun]

[Disapproval. The absolute worst thing. Shuji shrinks backwards, right into the wall.]

Chuuya had told everyone at the library by the time I got back, and Sensei wanted to meet you. And - and I didn't know what else I could say that wouldn't disrespect you...

[He couldn't say he didn't know Dazai, and 'friends' would imply they were equals...]

I'm sorry.

[bandagedheart]

[Is that pity Dazai feels? Or maybe a hint of guilt for upsetting his otherwise loyal pet this way...

Whatever the case, he reaches out and ruffles Shuji’s hair much like he had Atsushi’s as a sign of his forgiveness.]

It’s alright, Kitten. [He slips Shuji a spare key out of his pocket.] Go and wait for me at my apartment.

[thesettingsun]

[All the nervous tension drains out of Shuji when Dazai ruffles his hair. He smiles brightly, relieved.]

Thank you, Dazai-sama. I'll see you later.

[And he leaves.

Whenever Dazai arrives at his apartment, however many hours later, he'll find Shuji in his bed, already wearing his collar.]

[bandagedheart]

[It’s around three hours later when Dazai finally gets home, and after slipping off his shoes and hanging up his coat he proceeds to make himself some nice, hot coffee in his bountifully stocked kitchen. Yes, he’s well aware that Shuji is waiting for him upstairs, but Dazai is an asshole, and he’s going to take his sweet time getting up there.

If Shuji is truly missing him so badly, his best bet is to greet him downstairs.]

[thesettingsun]

[He can hear Dazai come in, and he can also tell exactly how long it's taking him to come upstairs. If Shuji were a more patient person, or anything other than a bundle of nervous energy right now, maybe he could stay in Dazai's bed until he made his way upstairs.

But he's not, so after a couple of minutes, he comes downstairs.]

Welcome home, master.

[bandagedheart]

[There he is; Dazai’s loyal pet, coming to greet his master after a long day at work. Dazai turns to face him and leans back against the counter as he takes a sip of his coffee.]

Thank you, Kitten. [He grins when he sees Shuji already wearing the collar.]

Did you miss me?

[He beckons Shuji over with a single curl of his finger.]

[thesettingsun]

I missed you the whole time.

[ Shuji approaches when he’s beckoned, stopping just in front of Dazai with his head bowed in respect.]

[bandagedheart]

I missed you too, Kitten.

[But Dazai isn’t quite so forgiving as he seems.]

Were you jealous of me praising Atsushi-kun?

[thesettingsun]

[Shuji knows. That's why he's been nervous for the past few hours.]

...A little. You usually pat me on the head like that.

[Why does this other person get headpats if he isn't Dazai's pet...]

[bandagedheart]

[Shuji’s jealousy is actually rather endearing, and Dazai sets his coffee aside to ruffle Shuji’s hair.]

Atsushi-kun is special, but he’s not my pet.

[Not for lack of desire; Dazai thinks Atsushi would look incredible in nothing but a collar, but there’s also several obstacles to achieving that goal, so they remain partners only.

For now.]

Is there anything I can do to make it up to you, Kitten?

[As if Dazai actually thinks he’s in the wrong.]

[thesettingsun]

You didn't do anything wrong, master.

[Shuji's not even sure that Dazai was serious, but he has to say it anyway.]

But... it would make me happy if you used me as you pleased. All I want is to know that I'm satisfying you.

[bandagedheart]

And I want to make you happy, Kitten.

[Dazai pulls Shuji in for a deep, heated kiss before pulling away with a hungry look in his eyes.]

Use your mouth first. Anywhere you like.

[thesettingsun]

[A deep kiss like that could daze a kitten, if he didn't have a command to follow.]

Thank you, Dazai-sama...

[Shuji has no hesitation about getting down on his knees. It takes him a second to unbutton Dazai's pants and get his underwear out of the way, and then he's eagerly licking Dazai's cock like he'd been starving for it. It's not much of an exaggeration.]

[bandagedheart]

[Dazai is practically purring when he finally feels Shuji’s hot, wet tongue on his cock, and he slides his fingers through that pretty red hair to urge him to take it into his mouth.]

You love my cock, don’t you, Kitten?

[He shifts his hips to press closer to Shuji.]

You’d do anything to have it inside you, wouldn’t you?

[thesettingsun]

[Shuji doesn't need any encouragement to wrap his lips around Dazai's cock. The words have Shuji moaning, a 'yes' that doesn't require him to pull off of Dazai. He'd rather not have to stop sucking on him for anything save his master's orders.

Shuji's hard without being touched. It's stopped coming as a surprise to him, and more as something to expect.]

[bandagedheart]

[Dazai is satisfied with that answer, and he grabs Shuji’s head with both hands before starting to fuck his mouth with short, shallow thrusts.]

I’m going to use each and every one of your holes over and over again until simply seeing me is enough to get you hard.

[thesettingsun]

[If Dazai just fucked him over and over again until his body knew nothing but how to give him pleasure - he'd be so happy.

Shuji relaxes his throat, so Dazai can use him as easily as possible without him gagging. His hands are still free, so he rubs against Dazai's balls while Dazai is fucking his throat. If he could dedicate his entire body to making his master feel good, he would give him everything - but right now hands and throat will do.]
