Continuation for bandagedheart.

[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]

You’re welcome, Kitten.

[Dazai can always wash his clothes later. Right now he feels like being close to Shuji, which is oddly sentimental for him.]

You’ve been so good lately. How would you like it if I took you out one day?

[thesettingsun]

[Shuji is always sentimental, but Shuji and Dazai are very different people, despite sharing a name.]

I'd love to go out with you.

[Like a date, he thinks but doesn't say.]

Anybody who sees us would just be jealous of me, for getting to be this close to you.

[bandagedheart]

[Dazai rubs under Shuji’s chin, a gesture he's grown rather fond of lately.]

Mmm. Maybe they’d be jealous of me for getting to have such a lovely thing by my side.

[Flattery, but he means it.]

Then it’s a date. I’ll dress up just for you. How does that sound?

[thesettingsun]

[It's a gesture that will make Shuji smile even if he's in a bad mood, which he definitely is not.]

It sounds amazing. I'll have to look my very best.

[Shuji already puts a lot of effort into his appearance, but if he's going on a date in public with Dazai, he has to go all out.]
