"I got some random blocks too, I thought it might be useful for some to scale work for projects..." Although so far all he's used the blocks for was setting up an unfinished version of a rat labyrinth, but he's sure his rats appreciate that effort too.
Hartley rolls his eyes at Axel's very, very wrong summary of Harry Potter. "You're in the minority here, Ax, we're all nerds." Echo stood up on his shoulder to nuzzle his cheek. "See? Even Echo likes Harry Potter. Although they give rats a bad name in that."
"oh my god, there are so many things wrong with what you just said. I'm convinced you're doing it on purpose to annoy me, no way can you actually have it that wrong." Right? RIGHT?!
There's a knock on the door and Cisco pops up onto his feet, "Food." he doesn't care that Hartley said he'd pay, he's pretty sure for some reason, he thought they'd leave if he didn't offer it and Cisco's answering the door anyway so, really, it's just automatic response to pull out his wallet and hand over the money as he grabs the food.
"What? Nah, I know stuff. I watched like the third or fourth movie. The one with the chamber. And then I watched a bit of the one where they had the ring and there was a load of short people." Short people, hobbits, whatever. Was he messing with them? Just a little. A bit of light trolling mixed with 'I have no idea what is happening in these movies' mostly. "Look, while all you dorks were reading Harry Potter, I was reading American Psycho. Ah, middle school." What a great role model that was.
Axel makes no movie to pay because he is legit broke right now so instead, he starts playing with the lego figures. The spider was making phew phew noises at Harry and Ron. Just like the movies!
"I read American Psycho. And Harry Potter. Both after I'd already graduated." Before then, he hadn't really read any book just for entertainment's sake, but Hartley definitely caught up.
When he hears the knock he turns, quickly approaching the door behind Cisco, but not stopping him when he pays, just a bit too late for that. "...I said I'd pay."
He supposes he could just give the money back. For now, his stomach is growling and he's immediately grabbing hold of one of the bags, not even paying heed to Cisco's and his hands brushing, since he's more focused with finding the vegetarian dishes. "Come on, Axel, horrify Cisco with more tales of things you don't get."
"What, no, those aren't even the same franchise," Cisco rolls his eyes exaggeratedly at Axel. How could one person be so wrong about what were essentially basic pop culture facts?!
"I feel like i need to nerd-ucate you," Cisco willfully ignores the brief touch as well, wandering back to sit down and sort through the food. "How is he this off his game?" He playfully slaps Hartley's arm, "you're slacking." Witness the awkward that is Cisco trying to play casual friends.
"I don't caaaaaare, that's why. If I don't care then I don't listen, it's why I failed at school. It's just like white noise." Axel whined as he dropped himself onto the floor and started to play around with the lego instead of grabbing food. He'd snatch whatever was left over or they didn't want later. For now, he was happy to wait. See, good boy? He knew to be careful here. Given Hartley hated him a day ago, he didn't want to rock the boat.
"I know more about cartoons, horror and obscure arthouse films no one will ever see. Fight me, I got skills." Very specific skills. "Harry Potter is just waving wands and fighting ... I wanna say grim reapers? Like the floaty things in black capes? I don't know."
"It's useless. I tried watching Lord of the Rings with him, he just kept taking pictures of me and tweeting." Which explains why this is his summary. Hartley sits down on the floor opposite Axel, starting on his salad and already on his way to being halfway done. "You mean dementors. They attacked the Flash once."
"You don't surround yourself with nerds and not expect to get nerded at, okay? You chose this." He says before taking a bite of his food, watching Axel for a moment.
He snickers at Hartley, "It's true," he grins, "you did."
"Nerd alert." Axel huffed playfully as he pulled out his phone and idly started to tweet because he had been reminded by Hartley and that was pretty much all it took to remember to write something obnoxious and flirty. "No one in that boring film about small, hairy dudes was hot or interesting, unlike Hartley. Also, you were pretty and I just wanted to focus on you. It was a terrible movie to pick for our first dat--"
Axel caught himself before he finished the sentence. Not a date, it wasn't a date, it was never a date. He had to remember that sometimes. He forgot it was all in his head. "First time hanging."
"You really did choose that." Hartley wished he'd not blush so easily, but apparently the immunity he'd built up to Axel complimenting him had diminished and he was a super white almost redhead, so of course he blushed right away, heat rising in his face.
"It's a great movie. The first is the best. I don't even know why you can't enjoy it, it's just an objectively well made movie. I like your movies too, but still. Don't be so highbrow." Hartley rolled his eyes and pushed a container toward Axel. "Eat something. You can take the heat, yes?"
He turned his head to look at Cisco and shrugged, causing Echo to chatter at him in exasperation and then run down his arm to actually go over to Cisco instead, putting her front paws on his thigh. "Ignore her, she's just begging. I wanted to tell Axel how we fought dementors and he doesn't even care."
"Well, I'll give you that. If I had to choose between a hobbit and Hartley, the choice is pretty easy." He smirks. Yes, he is absolutely just trying to make you blush more, Hart. Sorry, you're just adorable when you do.
Cisco watches Echo run over to him as he shoves the last bite of his food into his mouth. He swallows and sets the empty container aside, showing her his empty hands. "All gone." He grins and picks her up. "You were too late, girlie."
"There's Hollywood handsome and then there's Hartley." Axel grinned playfully and mock sighed at Hartley, so longing and playful, deep in yearning. As always. "My pretty boy. When I first met him, I nearly tripped over myself in shock. He was wearing tight jeans." Axel flattered as he leaned over and grabbed some food, bouncing back playfully, looking at Cisco with an amused expression. "Have you see that ass in skinny jeans?"
Axel let out a low whistle before giving Hartley some mercy and smiling playfully. "Sorry, sorry, got lost in your beauty. Tell us, oh brave and noble Hartley, how you defeated the grim reaper thingy."
While Echo climbs Cisco, clearly doubtful of his claim to not have any more food and instead sniffing his shirt in search of some, Hartley lifts a hand to his face to hide and wipe off the blush, neither of which was working very well. "Clearly this is why I shouldn't wear tight jeans," he mutters under his breath, shaking his head.
"Not a grim reaper, a time wraith. Well. Not in Harry Potter, those have nothing to do with time. But the ones we took on. They chased Cisco and Caitlin, so they hid in my cell. I was locked up at the time."
He chuckles softly as Echo tries to scope out food she seems convinced he's hidden away somewhere. He glances over at Hartley and grins, "That's exactly why you should, actually." but he won't add more to it than that, deciding to let up on the 'make Hartley 12 shades of red' game.
He sobers the slightest bit as he actually explains a bit more about the time wraith. "Yeah, that shit was freaky." He scoops Echo up in his hands and holds her a couple inches from his face, "There's nothing else, you can stop your crumb search party." He laughs again and sets her back down.
"I dunno what we would've done if not for you, actually." he said, glancing over at Hartley again, idly petting the rat setting up camp on his chest.
"I felt it in tight jeans once, it was a great moment for me. Firm ass. Ten out of ten, easy." Axel explained as he began to shovel food in his mouth, happily chewing and listening to the two talk. And then they got onto this subject, saving each other, the stuff at STAR labs, all these stuff in the pro-flash camp.
Axel groaned dramatically and flopped back, a whine in his tone that was not easy to miss. "God, you were such a good boy. Saving the day. Helping the Flash. Laaaame." Hartley being a good boy meant nothing good for their friendship. "You're missing out playing nice, bad guys have more fun. And we're hotter." Well, almost always. "Cisco is the exception on the good guys side. And the Flash. He has a slappable ass, I can get behind it."
He laughed to himself and winked. Oh yeah. See what he did there?
"I'd really love if we could stop discussing my ass. Or what a good boy I am." Hartley rolls his eyes, even if there's a definite hint of a smile. He watches how Echo curls up on Cisco's chest, still keeping an eye on him suspiciously, in case he suddenly pulled out some food.
"I'm not that good. I don't know if I have that much fun though. Comes and goes. Mostly I sit around and worry about my powers. It's a common meta issue." Hartley shrugs and reaches for another food container. What? He's hungry. "But who do you think has the best ass on the bad side?"
Cisco doesn't contribute to Axel's commentary about Hartley's ass but there's a definite glance of agreement sent his way. 10/10, would grab again. He squints at the rat, silently daring her to do something about it.
"I think that's, like, the number one top meta issue. Just going 'what the fuck?' at what you can do. And how far it goes. And what use it actually is." Okay, so maybe t hose are slightly more personal thoughts. Whatever. He hides a smile as Hartley grabs another container of food. Good. He needs to eat. Brat.
"If he says anyone other than himself for that answer, I'll be genuinely shocked." It's a teasing remark complete with a smirk thrown in Axel's direction. That is what he expects, after all.
"My ass is ridiculously in demand, just in general, but no way am I worthy of that title. My ass in only in demand because I'm a single dude in a gay bar and standards are low." Axel had sprung back upright, this was clearly a topic that required his attention as he grinned at them both and bounced a little. "Nope, the villain with the hottest ass it's so not me, alas, alas, I have the best everything else. But ass wise? It's a tie between the very handsome Mark and the ever stunning Cold."
Two hot boys he liked to eye up a lot and yes, he'd studied everyone's asses. Truth be told, the rogues were all hot but those two had some solid genetics going on. "I'd vote Mark as best ass but Leonard Snart wins for all around good looks. He's like a runway model. It's a shame he hates me so much, I'd love to hit that." Axel grinned and leaned forward, this was so his favourite topic. "Best dick in the rogues. Thoughts? Opinions? My money is on Mick."
"I don't think Cold sleeps around anyway, so you're out of luck. He doesn't even touch people." Hartley speaks between bites, because he has discovered that he was essentially starving here. More or less. Echo evidently agrees with him, because after another careful glance Cisco's way, she suddenly speeds from his chest to his hip, going right after his pocket.
Hartley doesn't even notice, to busy evaluating Axel's opinions. "I can't get behind Mark, no pun intended, he's just too much of a meathead." Also a violent killer, but well. "But he wins the best dick prize by default, because his is the only dick I've seen, after the porn fiasco."
Cisco's face scrunches at the mention of Leonard Snart. There were some less than fond memories attached, there. Truth told, he doesn't have much weight in this conversation because, well, being on the opposing team means he doesn't have much time to stare at Rogue asses. His thoughts on it are a little derailed when Echo darts for his pocket. "Ohmygod, Echo, what the--" He cuts himself off with a laugh as he realizes she's trying to shimmy into his pocket. "You think I got candy in there?" He snickers a little and picks her up again. With his free hand, he turns out his pocket, which is actually empty this time. "See? Nothing." He shoved the pocket lining back inside and taps her nose lightly. "Sorry to disappoint, lil buddy."
Echo silliness attended to, Cisco seems to check in again only at the very end of what Hartley's saying. "...there was a porn fiasco?" He perks a brow, looking curiously from Hartley to Axel. Oh, there's a story in this somewhere, and he has a feeling he's going to heavily regret asking for the details soon enough.
"Mark has a certain dudebro charm I really dig." Axel admitted as he slowly ate at his food, picking out anything that looked vaguely vegetable like and setting it down on the lid because ew, no, not healthy food. That was just gross. "I still got my money on Mick but I feel like Leonard could throw a curve ball and be bigger." Axel shrugged, it was kind of fifty-fifty.
He looked over at Cisco and frowned, slowly raising an eyebrow in disbelief. "What?" Was he serious? "You've never seen the porn?"
He stares right back a Axel, completely incredulous. "No. And I'm probably gonna regret asking, but--" Here goes nothing, no turning back now. "which one?"
"In A Flash." Hartley says it, quoting the title. It's not his fault! "I think the tagline was: Comes faster than a speeding bullet." He doesn't even groan, he figures it's implied. "It's got decent production value, I'll give it that. Some of the costumes don't look half-bad. A lot easier to take off."
What more can be said about the porn? Worryingly enough, the answer is: A lot.
"This scene is the one where Heatwave fucks the Flash." Axel explained excitedly as he passed his phone over and hit play because he always had those clips on his phone. Just in case. Nothing made a dull whatsapp chat funner than throwing out a clip of porn and seeing what people did. "Hartley's porn guy is adorable, just wait and see. He'll all gentle and loving with Barry."
"In A Fla-- really?! Oh my god," Yup, already regretting this life decision, but he doesn't have time to facepalm over the terrible tagline before Axel is shoving his phone at him. "Ay, Dios mío. I'd ask why, but I know the answer is Rule 34."
