"I have a job, this is more... a bit on the side." Axel clarified, omitting some details so Hartley didn't get weird with him. People always did. They either freaked out that he was unclean, looked down on him, judged him or simply pitied him and frankly, he hated all of the options. He was okay, he had a few issues sometimes but he handled it. Mostly. That's why he liked Teddy, he never judged him or worried he was diseased or dangerous. "We can share, don't worry. I mostly just work for food a lot of the time."

Mick was an amazing cook, it was really impressive. Axel liked to hang out and get free food. Sometimes Leonard would buy him lunch. It was nice. "You need to stop being so nice, pretty boy. People will take advantage."
