As you follow the bustling crowd of this city's nightlife, you may come across a small establishment, open only to a select few. That place is named La Luna, and exclusively offers its services to men, from men. Due to the steadily inclining openness towards sexuality of all kinds it is often frequented by those with power in the world; politicians, CEOs, etcetera. Although La Luna is clearly one of the most famous male brothels in this era, behind the curtains, it's so much more... WARNING: Mature Themes

Aeriss Fletcher is not a 'normal' individual. He is not able to calmly stand in a crowd, he is not someone who can freely speak to strangers, and it is impossible for him to remain relaxed around other people. Aeriss is a boy who has struggled throughout his life, with a disorder that has kept him encaged within the confinements of his own self built barriers. Because of this, Aeriss had been homeschooled. With his mother running a large retail corporation, they had the money and the countless resources to support Aeriss's needs, and allow the online education courses to take place. Therefore, it was never a problem to have Aeriss avoid contact with others. So despite the unavoidable family events, and occasional anxiety ridden outings with his mother, Aeriss felt that he really didn't need to be social with other people. Although, this convenient life slowly came to a petrifying halt when Aeriss learned that his mother was losing money fast, and her company was slowly drowning alongside them. With money being a growing concern, Aeriss's expensive online courses were no longer an option available to them. Which left them with one desperate choice, and that was for Aeriss to enter the public high school system. With this unavoidable issue at hand, Aeriss understood that there was not much he could do but self isolate until that dreaded first day of class. The first day he would step into a building with hundreds of other people, unprepared, and completely alone. But then, his therapist had an idea. The Buddy System. What if Aeriss had a friend that could be there alongside him throughout his school days, and help ease his anxiety? Someone he was familiar and comfortable with? It would be surprisingly simple to make a request to the school district and have them fit Aeriss's schedule into that of his friend. But there was one issue with this plan. Aeriss didn't have any friends. Although, of course, that was until he met Grayson Devaroux.
