first-year's new club to earn some cash

Chapter 2: a host club? Yuu, we're not gay? (aka the inspiration)

"Guys..." Yuu looks grim as he confesses to his fellow first-years, "I'm broke. Like really broke. Like so broke that I can't buy enough tuna cans to keep up with Grim."

"I don't think anyone could keep up with that weasel," Ace is right. Grim has a black hole for a stomach. Fucking dammit. He also deftly ignores Grim's protests at being a weasel.

Yuu groaned and whined like a little bitch but it's warranted because he has nothing to his name, "Okay, that's not the point. The point is that I'm broke and there's far too many leaks in the roof for me to be comfortable with."

"Just get a job," Jack decided to input his own incredibly unhelpful opinion.

"'Just get a job.' he says," Yuu had a slightly mocking tone and ignored Jack's frown, "I'M UNDOCUMENTED! YOU TRY GETTING A JOB WHEN YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A GREEN CARD OR A SINGLE SPECK OF IDENTIFICATION!"

"What's a green card?" Deuce is ignored.

"He does have a point..." Sebek mutters. He's a bit calmer because he likes them — kind of. Don't look too much into it.

Suddenly, a voice is heard, "Money problems? I can help with that for the right price."

"NO!" Grim goes in front of Yuu as if to protect him. He points a paw at Azul, "My henchman is not going to fall your your tricks! No deal! No way!"

Ace sighs, "As much as I hate to agree with the weasel, we're not letting Yuu make a deal with you."

"But I'm broke!" Yuu whines. He might actually take Azul up on his words at this rate.

Jack flicks Yuu on the forehead causing him to yelp, "Don't be stupid."

"Idiots. All of you," Epel looks sick of their shit.

"Hm..." Azul looks at the first-years, "Since I'm feeling so benevolent and kind, I'll give a bit of free advice."

Ace doesn't look amused in the slightest, "Not ominous and sketchy at all."

Grim eyes narrow, "This octopus never does anything for free! Henchman! Don't trust him!" He shakes Yuu's shoulders.

Azul smirks, "What's there not to trust?"

"The fact that you put barnacles on our heads?!"

"I mean...if it's free..."

"YUU!"

"Quiet! All of you!" Sebek massages the bridge of his nose, "You all are so loud."

Ace scoffs, "Like you're one to talk."

Before Sebek retorts Epel interferes, "Don't even start!"

"Ah..." Azul looks at the first-years with a tight smile because what the fuckazoid? "What I was going to say before I was so rudely interrupted was that if you lack madol, you simply have to make madol."

Ace scowls. He doesn't like Azul. Like at all. "Thanks, genius. Yuu can't even get a job."

"Who said anything about a job?" he chuckles.

"What is that supposed to-" Ace snarls before realizing that Azul is gone, "Where did he go?! Oh, when I catch that octopus-"

"HOLD UP!" Yuu gets out of his depressed, whiny phase, "HE'S ON TO SOMETHING!"

"Did I miss something?" Deuce blinks, completely lost.

"Okay, so there was this show I watched back where I'm from-"

"Oh, this will be good."

"Shut it, Sebek!" Yuu's trying to make a point and he doesn't need his human-hating friend to butt in. "So in this show, these students made a club and it was kind of like a 'pay to get inside' type club."
