Hartley wasn't one for team sports. He wasn't even one for doing anything much with anyone, which was one of the many reasons this all was ludicrous. Sure, he was gay. His parents had found the sketches and pictures to prove that. Had he ever done anything gay? No. Was he likely to ever do anything gay? No. He didn't spend any time bonding with people.

Of course, now there he was, at a camp full of gay people. Seemed like a logical fallacy.

He watched the other boys play "footie", having gotten out of it by saying it'd upset his hearing aids. It would not, but no one dared to argue. So he stood off to the side, at least until the angelic cherub boy hurt himself and had to sit down. Then he walked over, sitting next to him.

"Did you fake that injury?" He assumed. "Good thinking."

Aziraphale - what a name - did not look like a runner.

Hartley had finished brushing his teeth and he was wide awake. Of course he was wide awake, he never slept this early at home. He hardly ever slept when he had a choice about it, there were much more important things to do with his time. At least there were when he was given even a little leeway. Here they had taken his books, his flute - apparently flutes were suggestive, which tickled him - and all he could do was try and compose a song or do calculations and jot down some notes. Difficult to do in a vacuum.

He shared a room with Aziraphale, who was already tucked into bed, eyes closed. It was not yet lights out, so Hartley was sitting up, glancing over at his roommate. "Are you still thinking about him?"
