I don't think it really affects your skin. I have some hand cream if you want anyway. [ Once he swoops up all the napkins, he finally slips his shoes back on and separates from Hikaru's feet so he can throw the wet napkins away, the table pretty dry now. When he gets back, he takes out a small tube of hand cream. It's not drug store cream, but not luxury stuff either. No scents or anything, just normal. ] Here.
I read in a magazine that fragrances in skin care products can cause skin sensitivities over time. It's better to use good smelling stuff on your hair or clothes, like cologne, I think?
[ He knows about smelling good though!! But Taichi is apt to follow whatever he reads in his magazines... ]
[Hikaru whistles as if he's impressed.] Impressive. Fragrances are usually the number one irritant and can be bad for your skin but it can also be for your scalp and lead to dandruff.
But then you also have to be careful about cologne getting on your skin because then it can be just as bad.
And then you have to be careful about deodorant too. The wrong ingredients can go into your bloodstream~ [At this point, he's teasing him. Taichi's not wrong about the fragrances in skincare exactly and Hikaru's just repeating some dumb ideas about deodorant just to spook him. As much as he likes the other boy, it doesn't mean he isn't going to get away without being teased.]
Isn't being stinky better than being dead? What do your romance columns say about that, I wonder? Maybe some girls like a natural smell~
[He likes to rile Taichi up and see how he reacts. It's funny and it makes him happy. Cute is still a word that Hikaru would use to describe Taichi and he still isn't entirely sure if it's appropriate but it's all he can think of.]

[ But the deodorant stuff, Taichi's eyes go wide about. Then he looks at his arm pits. ]
Ehh?! How do you know which ones are bad?! I hadn't thought about that! Huuuu... I guess dry pits is better than B.O. though...

[ He thought it was just skin sensitivities!!! ]
There's no way I can let myself smell bad though! There has to be another way! I'll die in obscurity, too!
[ He really considering dying so he can be popular ]

Your diet can make a big difference! I'm sure you know all about that~ But you'd have to cut out hot dogs.
[Technically no but Hikaru's having too much fun teasing him.]
