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!

[It feels incredible to take Shuji’s load inside of him like this, so hot and thick and filling him to the brim, and the only reason he lifts up off of Shuji is to get on all fours and show off. Shuji’s come drips out of his hole and down his thighs, and he must look a sight right now.

He glances back over his shoulder with a smirk.]

Are you going to clean me up, Kitten?

[thesettingsun]

[Dazai is a sight, once Shuji can take in anything that he's seeing. Shuji's come is dripping out of him...

Shuji doesn't hesitate to spread Dazai's cheeks apart and lick up the come around Dazai's hole before dipping his tongue inside. He'll make sure Dazai is very thoroughly cleaned up and cleaned out.]

[bandagedheart]

Ahhh...that feels nice...

[He shivers at the feeling of that tongue dipping inside of him; oh how he loves having someone to obey his orders...]

Thank you, Kitten...

[He chuckles softly.]

I can see the appeal of wearing a collar now.

[thesettingsun]

Thank you, Dazai-sama. That's why I'm so grateful for the collar you gave me.

[Why would Dazai need to thank him for anything when he's the one being so generous with Shuji? The idea boggles the mind.

Now that Dazai's all clean, Shuji flops onto the pillow, more than ready to snuggle if Dazai so wishes.]

Pretend the Dazai Ango convo happened before this.

[bandagedheart]

[Of course Dazai will curl up next to Shuji, completely satisfied. Physically, at least.

His recent conversation with Ango still weighs heavy on his mind as he nuzzles into Shuji’s neck.]

Ango-kun contacted me about you, you know. Concerned about what I want from you.

[thesettingsun]

He texted me earlier today.

[It was a short conversation. Shuji already had his answer.]

Ango's not a bad person. Maybe a little difficult if you don't know how to deal with him, but the three of us are all difficult sometimes.

[bandagedheart]

I know. He was concerned about your welfare. I wasn’t angry.

[Dazai pulls Shuji closer, until there’s no space left between them.]

He said that all of you only last a couple of years. Is that true?

[thesettingsun]

[Ah. Shuji presses his face into Dazai's shoulder.]

That's the estimate, assuming we aren't killed before that.

[bandagedheart]

[At one time Dazai thought that his heart was frozen beyond all emotion, but the way it seems to stop beating altogether at that news proves that it’s no longer true, if it ever was.

He wraps his arms around Shuji so tightly that you’d think he might float away if he were to let go.]

Is there anything I can do to extend that time?

[thesettingsun]

[It's impossible for Dazai to be frozen when his body feels so warm. Shuji wraps his arms around Dazai in turn, two 'Dazai Osamu' clinging to each other for support in an uncaring world.]

I don't think so.

[bandagedheart]

Then I’ll die when that day comes.

[Oh. There’s a single tear rolling down his cheek. He thought he’d hardened himself beyond the ability to cry. Shouldn’t he be happy that he’ll finally have someone to commit a beautiful double suicide with?

...

Every day is a new surprise with Shuji, it seems.]

I couldn’t live without you. Not now.

[thesettingsun]

Dazai-sama...?

[They've already talked about their double suicide, the most beautiful way to die together. So why - why is it so painful now to hear Dazai say he'll die with him?

Shuji's crying now, following after his master as always. He can't do a single perfect tear: instead, tears stream down his face and keep streaming.]

I love you, master, I love you...

[His tears will fall onto Dazai's skin.]

[bandagedheart]

[Never would Dazai have thought he’d ever truly be able to fall in love again. He wasn’t sure he was capable of it, or if what he’d felt for Odasaku had been real. That time, he’d realized it too late.]

I love you too, Kitten.

[But now he can say that he means it with absolute sincerity as he slides his fingers through Shuji’s pretty red hair. It hurts to see him cry...]

We’ll just have to make the most of every day until then, won’t we?

[thesettingsun]

W-we will.

[He can agree to that and mean it. He won't waste any of his time with Dazai.

His tears slow to a sniffle, and eventually stop. He doesn't plan on letting go of Dazai anytime soon, however.]

[bandagedheart]

[Dazai is happy to hold him as long as he needs.]

Are you going to return to the library at all? Do you miss Oda and Ango?

[thesettingsun]

No. ...If I leave them alone for a while, they'll figure out that everything's fine and the world didn't end because I moved out.

[Flawless plan.]

[bandagedheart]

I won’t stop you from doing what you want, Kitten. I trust that you’ll come back to me no matter what happens.

[He almost wants to just resign from the ADA, but that simply isn’t an option.]

I’ll only regret leaving behind a few people when I die, but they’ll get along without me.

[thesettingsun]

I want to stay by your side.

[As for the people he'd regret leaving behind... The rest would be following him about the same time.]

[bandagedheart]

Then I’ll be here for you.

[Dazai feels his eyelids grow heavy, and he pulls a blanket up over the two of them as he snuggles in close to Shuji.]

Sweet dreams, Kitten.
