#i lov oversharing about kazu's job tbh it

[autipsy]

✦ as mentioned before, Kazuki’s spent the past 7 or so years working as a host — ie. he gets paid an ungodly amount of money to get drunk and fake being someone’s boyfriend for a few hours a night, at a Kabukicho club called Fang (he’s recently grown to hate that name a whole fucktonne btw) ✧ works under the pseudonym Mana. really doesn’t want his customers knowing his real name tbh, his ace is as batshit as you’d expect from someone who’s willing to blow tens of thousands of yen on a nightly basis on a host, and the last thing he wants is her being able to track down where he lives. ✦ usually falls in love with his customers so easily, it’s not even funny. unless he’s already in a relationship at the time, he rarely goes so much as 2 weeks without highkey crushing on / dating one of his customers. consequently he’s got a bit of a reputation for being really, really easy, both in that he’s a ho and also a complete fool who’s really easily to manipulate  — he’s had to pay off a fair few extortionate tabs after his customers have bailed and disappeared on him. ✧ has some pretty severe problems with alcohol because of his job (really bad for binge drinking, frequently has alcohol related illnesses, etc...). he’s very popular among customers, which means he tends to end up drinking like a fish while at work, frequently has to make himself throw up because of it and rarely ever leaves work in a state anything close to sober. ✦ makes money. big money. his pretty face and highly empathetic nature make him a really popular choice for shimei / tantou, consequently he has a lot of regular customers, consistently ranks within the top 3 at his club, if not as number 1, gets contracted for modelling jobs, etc... ✧ unless you meet him at his club, you’ve gotta be at least a level 5 friend to know what he does for a living. while very successful at his job, he’s also very aware that host clubs don’t exactly have a shining reputation among most people, and so he tends not to be particularly honest about his job with people who don’t work as part of the mizushobai / who he hasn’t met within the club. usually he insists he’s a model — certainly, that’s what his parents think he’s doing! ✦ makes up rumours about himself on host forums when he’s bored. mostly it’s stuff along the lines of “he’ll take you on dates if you bring him doritos at work“. he absolutely takes it too far sometimes though, took sick leave off work when he began turning into a vamp and started a rumour that he was absent because he’d died to get attention. ✧ on that note, there’s a rumour going around on these forums that he’s stopped doing makura (attracting customers by sleeping with them) because he has a girlfriend now, and while there’s... some degree of truth to it, the real reason he stopped doing it in the first place is that the last time he slept with a customer, he was pretty new to being a vampire, didn’t realize falling asleep after would stop his breathing and absolutely terrified the life out of the poor girl when she woke up before him. ✦ primarily he’s a tomoei host though! his main appeal /  whole business conduct dealio is trying to be your friend, listen to your problems, give you advice, etc... he’s really bad at that whole ‘pretend to care, but don’t genuinely do it‘ part though, gets really invested in his customers problems, cries about them at night, etc... ✧ he’s basically that one guy from the great happiness space who gets trashed towards the end and starts crying about making lonely peoples’ dreams come true tbh.
