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!

[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...]

[bandagedheart]

Oda-kun...?

[Dazai is used to dealing with coughing fits because of his interactions with Akutagawa back in his Mafia days, but this is entirely unexpected at the moment, and he pulls back to raise an eyebrow in question at Oda.

...]

Do you need water? Nod for yes.

[hurrayformarriage]

[Oda wants to refuse out of sheer self-consciousness over his weakness, but since Dazai's already seen it... he nods.

He'll be fine in a second. Really.]

[bandagedheart]

[Dazai quickly fetches a glass of water from the bathroom before returning and handing it to Oda.]

Relax. Breathe.

[Dazai sounds mildly concerned as he sits on the edge of the bed and rubs Oda’s back soothingly.]

A bit too much excitement, hmm?

[hurrayformarriage]

[Oda takes a few gulps of water before he's able to answer.]

It ain't usually this bad... Guess I picked the wrong day to go drinkin'.

[He's embarrassed that Dazai saw him this way.]

[bandagedheart]

It’s alright. You’re welcome to stay here and recover~

[That’s awfully generous of Dazai...]

Can I pamper you at all?

[hurrayformarriage]

Nah... I feel real bad, ruinin' the mood.

[He can't do much about his health. He's tried.]

[bandagedheart]

How about just a bit of cuddling while you relax, then?

[Dazai curls right up next to Oda regardless of his answer, even if he’s still a bit horny from their earlier activities. Maybe Oda will warm back up to him.]

[hurrayformarriage]

[Gosh, Dazai's being really gracious about this. Maybe his Dazai was wrong about him? ...Except he can't really say 'so I tried to sleep with that guy you don't like at all' and expect a good reaction.]

Cuddlin' sounds like a plan.

[And so Oda curls up against Dazai, enjoying the warmth of his body.]

[bandagedheart]

[Dazai nuzzles his face into Oda’s neck as he curls tighter around him with a pleased hum.]

You know...I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing you again, though we’ll have to be discreet~

[hurrayformarriage]

Hmm... Feels a little like sneakin' 'round behind Dazai-kun's back...

[That's not a good feeling.]

[bandagedheart]

Hm. I suppose you’re right. I wouldn’t want to come between you two!

[He’s not getting laid, is he?

Oh well.]

If my Oda were still alive, I might just be overprotective of him too!

[hurrayformarriage]

[Nope. Foiled by tuberculosis.

Dazai does get a pat on the head, though.]

He's real lucky he had a friend like you.
