"The first hit is free, that's how they get you." Axel flopped back down lazily and sprawled out, closing his eyes and wishing he was just less of a fuck up for once. "Before I started living by myself, I had this real shot at being with a normal family, you know? I just had to make sure I did everything right. I had to be perfect. That's all anyone ever told me. Be nice, be polite, do what you're told and they'll want you. And I did everything right, everything. And they still didn't want me."

Axel still didn't get it but then, he never got people. He felt like they were all working on a different level to him and no matter what he did, it was inevitable it'd go wrong. "Just to spite everyone, I went out and did everything wrong and you know what? I'm really good at that." Axel grinned with a faint bit of pride because yes, he was proud, What of it? "I'm good at being a trainwreck and if you don't want to date a trainwreck, that makes sense, I get that. It's easier. But what if I do all of this right and you still don't want me? I don't know if I could do that again."

"You're mad at me. Good. You should be mad at me. I fucked up." Axel hated himself so much in this moment, he should have just gone home like a normal person. Just gone home, ignored his own petty issues and just enjoyed himself but no, he had to get in his own head and fuck up. "I'm sorry, okay? I let myself get in my own head over this and it was stupid. I'm trying, Hart. Like I said, I'm good at fucking up."

With a small tentative try, he reached out and held out for his hand for Hartley to hold, curious if he'd hold it given how done he seemed to be. "Thank you. I'm sorry I was an ungrateful prick and I ruined your good news."

"So." Axel frowned for a moment because these things were usually easier and the scale of which he'd fucked up was kind of concerning. He didn't show on the best night of Hartley's life and proceeded to piss him off. Classy. "How do I fix it?" Yes, he was asking but how the hell was he supposed to know and every time he didn't get something or had to fix it, he asked Hartley. Or took off his shirt. And his shirt was already off.

"I'm sorry then." That was all he could say and he had no idea what to do now so he just rolled over and closed his eyes, pretending like he was sleeping to get away with everything. He had no idea what to do to end the anger.
