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

but I think that they call that jealousy

[thesettingsun]

[Of course Dazai has coworkers. That's a normal thing that people have. Dazai's permitted to have coworkers, because Shuji doesn't have any say in what his master does with his life. Their relationships are completely innocent, so it shouldn't be a problem.

And it's not a problem. Really. When Dazai is in their apartment talking on the phone with one of his coworkers, Shuji can busy himself with reading a book and try to pretend like he's not listening to the conversation. It's about work. Shuji doesn't want to get in the way of work.

It's just, after the third call from Atsushi in as many days...]

Nakajima again?

[...he isn't quite as good at hiding how grumpy he's getting.]

[bandagedheart]

[To be fair, Dazai doesn’t usually make a habit of calling his coworkers unless it’s absoluteky necessary, but Atsushi, bless his soul, always seems to turn to Dazai for advice, and that means keeping in touch on a daily basis. Dazai thinks nothing of it when he answers the call from Atsushi, but the second he hangs up he can see that Shuji is none too pleased with Atsushi’s frequent phone calls.]

Yes. Is something the matter, Kitten?

[He knows exactly what’s the matter.]

[thesettingsun]

Nothing. You're just coworkers. Talking about coworker things.

[...it might be easier if they were lovers.]

[bandagedheart]

Shuji-kun...

[He rests his chin in his hands.]

Are you jealous of Atsushi-kun?

[thesettingsun]

You told me he's not your pet and I believe you, master.

[...but that isn't an answer, and Shuji doesn't dare refuse to answer his master.]

...Maybe I'm a little jealous.

[bandagedheart]

He’s not. He’s a coworker and a pupil.

[Atsushi is incredibly cute, but Dazai has a special spot in his heart just for Shuji. He rubs under Shuji’s chin, smiling warmly.]

Is there anything I can do to put you at ease?

[thesettingsun]

[It's hard to still be grumpy when Dazai's rubbing under his chin like that, but just that isn't enough to quiet the voice in him that says-]

He knows more about you than I do. Doesn't he?

[It'd be easier if Atsushi was a pet.]

[bandagedheart]

...not really, actually.

[Atsushi is just as much, if not more in the dark than Shuji is about Dazai. His past is still a mystery for the most part to Atsushi, but he does have the advantage of having known Dazai longer.]

The others know more than he does.

[thesettingsun]

I guess that's good, but...

[Then that just means he has something to be jealous of his other coworkers of. It doesn't make him much happier.

Shuji sighs, and pulls away from Dazai, just a little.]

[bandagedheart]

[It won’t make Shuji feel any better, but would lying to spare his feelings really help anything either?

It actually hurts a little when Shuji pulls away, and Dazai has never been any good at channeling hurt into anything but anger and icy stares.]

Shuji.

[There’s a dark look in Dazai eyes, the warmth having left them completely.]

Are you rejecting me?

[thesettingsun]

[Shuji has never seen Dazai look at him that way.

He never wants to see him look that way again. It's not fear that has him tripping over his words in his haste to explain, or at least not only fear.]

No, I - of course not, never, I just - there's so much of you I don't know about, it's because I love you that I want to know more about you, please forgive me...!

[bandagedheart]

[Ah. He’d overreacted, hadn’t he? It’s the old Mafia executive in him, he supposes. You don’t become skilled at torture from being soft, after all.

His expression softens, and a bit of the warmth slowly returns to his eyes as he cups Shuji’s cheek.]

What is it that you want to know, Kitten?

[thesettingsun]

[Oh, thank god. Shuji doesn't even try to hide the relief on his face as he leans into Dazai's hand.]

Where you're from, how long you've been a detective, what your favorite case was... There isn't anything I don't want to know about you, but especially things like that.

[He doesn't mention the mafia specifically, but it's there if Dazai wants to talk about it.]

[bandagedheart]

Yokohama, four years, tracking down Fyodor.

[Dazai chuckles after he gives an answer for each question; Shuji is so adorable and loving, how could Dazai think he’d reject him? He’s Shuji’s entire world now, after all. He has very little to gain from leaving now.

Not that leaving has ever been a viable option.]

You’re wondering about Chuuya too, aren’t you? My connection with him?

[thesettingsun]

[Shuji would never reject Dazai. He'd die first.]

If you want to talk about him. If you don't, that's fine. I'm just happy to learn anything about the master I love.

[...Though Dazai doesn't seem to have nearly as many problems with Chuuyas as Shuji does.]

[bandagedheart]

He was my old partner in the Mafia. I was an executive once. I defected, obviously, for several reasons.

[Which he won’t go into right now.]

We were physically involved, but that’s all.

[thesettingsun]

Alright.

[There's no surprise at Dazai confirming he was an executive in the mafia, no judgment. No matter what Dazai did, he's Shuji's god now. That won't change.]

He doesn't like me much. [Not at all.] Is he that way with everybody you're involved with?

[bandagedheart]

[Dazai chuckles at that.]

Yes. He doesn’t hide his jealousy well.

[Dazai presses kisses along Shuji’s jaw, his hand wandering down to slide over Shuji’s thigh.]

I think he’d give anything to be my pet.

[thesettingsun]

I'm lucky it's me you chose.

[Shuji wraps his arms around Dazai, pressing his body flush against him.]

What can I do to please you today, daddy?

[He's still not sure about that title, but he's willing to at least try it out.]

[bandagedheart]

[Dazai’s eyes widen for a split second when he hears the title, right before a wicked grin plays across his lips.]

I want you to strip down and present yourself for me. On all fours.

[thesettingsun]

[Done and done. Shuji doesn't take long about getting naked, but Dazai knows impatience is a flaw of his, and hopefully having Shuji naked (except his collar) and all fours in front of him will make up for that.]

Is this good?

[bandagedheart]

Perfect.

[Dazai squeezes Shuji’s ass with both hands before leaning over him to whisper in his ear.]

Call me daddy again.

[Followed by a light smack to Shuji’s ass.]

[thesettingsun]

[He already knows that he likes Dazai being rough with him in a number of ways, and being spanked makes him mewl. It's not just the pain that he likes, but that Dazai has that level of control over him, to hurt or please him as much as he wants.]

D-daddy...

[He shivers at Dazai's voice. He's already halfway hard just from the setup.]

Have I been good, daddy?

[bandagedheart]

Hmm...have you? You’ve been quite jealous lately.

[Which isn’t a trait he’ll punish too harshly, because it makes Dazai feel powerful to have Shuji so desperate for his attention that he’ll take it out on anyone who gets in his way.

Dazai himself is already half-hard from that title, and he raises his hand back just a tiny bit before smacking Shuji’s ass once more. It’s so nice and round, he can’t help but enjoy the way it bounces back under his blows.]

How much do you want my cock? Tell me.

[thesettingsun]

[Shuji tries to reign himself in so his jealousy doesn't get to the point of actually annoying his master or causing any harm.

The second smack makes Shuji mewl even louder. He can only imagine whether that cheek is starting to turn red where Dazai's spanking him. Maybe it'll hurt to sit down later... god, he can only hope.]

I want your cock so bad - I'll do anything for you to fuck me, daddy. I'm so empty without your cock inside me, please, I need it...!
