Dazai insisted on taking you out to a date, a date that he would be driving you to.

Maybe he felt a bit jealous because you would have to constantly drive him? Or because it’d always have to be in walking distance?

“Hm? I thought you really wanted to go to the place? It’s only a twenty minute drive, after all.”
