"I do smell nice. Most boys think they just can spray themselves down with some gross bodyspray and they'll be good. Nah, a good shower gel and aftershave is what you need." Axel wasn't going to pretend like he wasn't flattered, he was, he smelled nice and it was about time someone comment on it that wasn't James. And usually James only said it when he wanted something out of Axel.
"I'm not flawless. Trust me. Standing next to the handsome boy genius? Not feeling massively without flaws. Still, doesn't bother me much." Axel was a rent boy, he stole, he got drunk, high and he had an arrest record. He wasn't really dating material, not for a good boy like Hartley but he had his own unique charm. "I don't need to be perfect, I just need to be hot."
Axel grinned and leaned over, pulling them to a halt so he could steal a kiss. They were right by the center now, may as well take advantage. "And a pretty good kisser. That's always important."
"You're really hot." Hartley kissed back happily, having recognised that they were there. Signs and everything. So he hadn't been led into a trap and Axel still looked amazing. "Seems like I always have to keep thanking you, huh? Quite often for someone who isn't flawless. You're doing very well with me."
Hartley shrugged Axel's jacket off, holding it out to him. "Here. I... Are you coming inside? I can do it myself. I know you've better things to do than help me like this. But I'll definitely come to see you tomorrow."
"Nah, I should really go back but look, tell them you know Axel and James. Say we sent you here. Don't trust anyone, sleep with your stuff in your cot with your arms around it and make sure they dry your clothes. They can give you spares, God knows they get donations all the time." Axel removed the hoodie and tossed it back, shrugging on his jacket again and smiling at Hartley. The kid was going to be okay as long as he followed what he was told and maybe hung with Axel less. But they could work on that part later.
"I don't mind helping. For a pretty guy like you? I'd do anything." Axel winked and then bounced back, grinning at him, unable to help himself. "I'll be there tomorrow, we'll make food so come hungry."
