chapter one

date started: 01/11/24

Today is the day that Scaramouche starts his new job. A fresh start, he's been telling himself as he walked there but really he doesn't give a fuck about stuff like that. He just hopes that he won't get dismissed again or even worse have annoying co-workers. At least his new job is at a coffee shop and he has plenty experience for that.

Scaramouche always finds that starting new things is such a pain. Especially with jobs since he needs to put on a "polite" front. He was fired from the last place because his attitude was too "salty" and he is "awful at keeping his cool". in his opinion it's unfair but at least this new place responded quickly with the interviews and he got the job fast.

Scaramouche opened the stiff door of the coffee shop. Above him a small ringing noised sounded, echoing around the room.

"HEY..waitt you're that boy from Inazuma high"

Of course the most annoying person had to be there. Childe. His stupid orange hair and his height that he was so smug about. Scaramouche hated him.

"ugh not you"

"what a surprise I didn't think that I would see you after high school" Childe smiled slightly amused "your name was something stupid wasn't it.. uhhh what was it?"

"says you.." The shorter boy retorted "who the fuck is called childe"

"me obviously" Childe was silent for a little longer "rightt you're Scara, I remember better now because you had a rivalry with that kid Kazuha didn't you?"

Kaedehara Kazuha. Who did Scaramouche despise more than Childe? it was Kazuha. It had been awhile since he heard that dreaded name. Whilst him and Childe were in the same year, Kazuha wasn't. Kazuha was in the year under them.  How he came to know the younger boy? well it was a very long winded stupid story.

"I did remember correctly right? it would be embarrassing if I didn't"

"It's Scaramouche" he replied annoyed

"huh.. but I swear Kazuha calls you Scara"

"ugh of course he does" Scaramouche replied irritated "anyways what are the other people who work here like..?" he continued trying to change the subject

"there isn't many of us, but I think you'll get on perfectly" Childe said this with a little smirk "well let me show you where you can keep your stuff"

The ginger started to walk away and Scaramouche followed slowly behind to the back of the shop behind the counters. There was a very short corridor with a door. Childe opened it with a key he took out of his aprons pocket it lead them to a massive empty room with lockers pushed against the back door.

"ahh.. uhm it needs some more decorating, we're planning on doing that soon"

"yeah it is a bit plain"

"hey don't you do art? you should do some decorations for us" Childe teased

"how about no"

"whatever you say" the taller boy reached into his apron pocket again "here take this lock, it needs a four digit passcode"

"thanks I guess"

Scaramouche stared at it trying to think of a good number combination, he ended up on settling with 2910 since it seemed easy enough to remeber for some reason.  He walked over to the lockers and looked at them a little.

"which one should I choose?"

"pretty much all of them are free, though for you I wouldn't recommend the top ones you're a bit short for that" Childe laughed at his own joke as Scaramouche stared at him unimpressed as he opened the door to a locker that was on the second highest row.
