"No way, don't do that. You'll make it weird." Axel rolled his eyes and moved away from Hartley because no, he didn't like where this was going. He'd been down this road with weird clients too. The guys who wanted to save him and take him away from all of this and whatever bullshit hero complex nonsense they wanted to spout. He didn't need Hartley doing that either. Axel sat upright and ran a finger through his hair, trying to break up the gel a little. "You need to save for school and it's all good. If I wanted money to be just given to me, I'd have taken it from James by now."

James offered and offered all the time but Axel just had too much pride for that. "Oh yeah. I mean not that I do it regularly but whenever I tap in, there's always guys waiting." Whenever Axel took a break when money was good or he didn't feel like doing it, the guys would still ask, still follow him, bother him over it. It was kind of annoying.
