What, you think I can still just take off the hood and the mask and be me? i thought it worked that way for a while. What I deserve now is jail. Generously." Hartley sighed and looked at Axel, for a moment before lowering his eyes. He wanted to pull the hood back on, but now it'd definitely be too much like hiding.

Whether or not he loved him, whether or not they even had a thing still, they were bonded. Axel considered him his best friend and that'd never change.

"I need to go back to bed." Axel sighed and backed away from him. "Be safe. Be hopeful. I'll be okay. I'm always okay, aren't I? Hell, I'm running on like no sleep and my playboy pad in now a daycare. If I can survive that, I can survive anything."
