The Beginning to the Road of Recovery

Trigger warning: mention of sex tapes, strip clubs, alcohol 

High school students are brutal.

Say one wrong thing, everyone remembers. Do one wrong move, everyone remembers. Say something right and no one bats an eye. Do something right and they applaud you for a brief moment then act like you never existed.

The thing about high school is that whatever you do will haunt you for the rest of your life. Become a football player, people associate you with sports. Be an active leader in school but doing student council, everyone associates you as a reliable person. Become a part of a club and everyone associates you as a member of that particular club. Have a hookup with a certain person, everyone remembers. Have a giant scandal and rumors circulate you, people will still talk. Someone records you and makes a sex tape, people will laugh and look at you with disgust.

That last option. That one can be brutal. A sex tape can ruin lives if it gets out into the public eye. And for him, he wasn't aware that he was being filmed in such a vulnerable moment. Until a few months later when someone found the video and leaked it.

His hopes, dreams, goals, all crushed because some release a video of him having sex with another guy. Everything that he worked hard for all came crumbling down in a matter of minutes. That one event ruined his eyes. Causing him to leave school, to drop out and never show his face again. The police didn't do anything, the school didn't, his family didn't. He was left all alone with only one option, to disappear.

Even ten years later, people still remember him from that video. The video of young 16 year old Shikanoin Heizou having sex with an unknown guy who didn't attend their school.

"Tell me something Kazu. How do you own a whole model industry yet you yourself can't model for shit?" CEO of Zeus' Jewelry and cologne, Scaramouche Raiden said while taking a few photos of his boyfriend. CEO of Teyvat Modeling, Kazuha Kaedehara bashfully rolled his eyes. "I hire good looking people to do the real work for me. Why would I model?" "What scared they will outshine their boss?" "More like make fun of." Scaramouche chuckled while putting his phone away in his back pocket. "Does our dear Kazu not know how to model?" Kazuha rubbed the back of his neck nervously, "You could say that. I like designing clothes rather than wearing them. Hehe." Scaramouche chuckled alongside Kazuha. The two walked out of Kazuha's modeling company and stepped into a black limo. "So where are we going today dear?" They settled themselves in the back, the driver greeting the two. Kazuha motioned him to drive as he turned to look at Scaramouche, "Aether recommended me this new strip club in town. Thought we could go have fun." "Oh? Sounds interesting." "It's called Inazuma's Paradise. So based on the name you can guess who owns it." Scaramouche rolled his eyes, "Childe right?" "Bingo. He collaborated with Yae Miko to design it. Brings profit to both companies." "I forget Yae Miko is an author and a club owner. Throws me off sometimes." Kazuha agreed.

After 15 minutes they arrived at the strip club. It was a quarter past 10 p.m. when they arrived. Kazuha stepped out first, Scaramouche following right after him. "Pick us up around 2." "Yes sir." The driver then drove off. Kazuha grabbed Scaramouche's hand, "Oh I forgot to mention something." "Hm?" "The group is here." Scaramouche groaned. "Seriously?" "I knew you wouldn't agree if I told you so I just kept quiet a little longer." "Jeez so kind." Scaramouche said sarcastically. "You're welcome!" Kazuha laughed once more. The two stepped inside and instantly were hit with the smell of alcohol. The place was packed, which was normal for a strip club on a Friday night. The bartenders were working left and right making and serving drinks. The strippers were dressed in varieties of lingeries, men and women. "That's new." Kazuha said. "Guess they wanted to be inclusive for everyone." Scaramouche said. They walked further inside and soon found their friends at a small booth. The lights were dimmed everywhere but the stages. "Well look who decided to show up!" Aether smiled when he saw Kazuha and Scaramouche. "Wanted to have some fun. Is that so bad?" Scaramouche greeted Xiao and Venti while Kazuha talked with Aether. "Oh~? That's a new one! Usually mister grumpy wants to stay home. What did your do to Scara?" Venti chuckled. "Made him a better man." Kazuha said light heartily. "That's for sure!" Aether laid is head on Xiao's shoulder. "But serious question, thoughts on the dancers?" Venti asked. "Hm their really pretty." Kazuha watched his words. Believe it or not but Scaramouche is the jealous type, better to be safe then sorry. "Boring! Why do I go to a strip club with couples? Have to find me some single friends!" Venti groaned as he took another shot. Aether laughed as he too took another drink. "Why don't you go up to the stages? Maybe someone is willing to give you a lap dance?" "You're right!" Venti stood up and walked over to the stage.
