Room 307, Tuesday Evening
Apr. 24th, 2012 06:31 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
So for Topher, today had been noteworthy due to a variety of circumstances, the most obvious of which being:
1.) His best friend was apparently a world-famous political blogger who'd saved a whole bunch of kids' lives
2.) Said best friend had just been forced to go into hiding to avoid being killed by a Belgian psychopath
3.) Topher's room was still full of paint fumes, and
4.) It was his sixteenth birthday.
As a result of all of that, plus the portal-lag that came from the round-trip excursion to Peter's universe, Topher was just a little bit exhausted by the time he got back to his room in the evening. Too exhausted, in fact, to indulge in his usual birthday tradition of a cupcake and a couple rounds of laser tag at the nearest arena. So instead, by the time he got to his room, he flopped down on his bed to try to repress concerns about Peter by playing Tetris on his phone.
At least he was kicking ass at it, so, you know, there was that.

Date: 2012-04-25 01:48 am (UTC)Topher contemplated the inherent sacrifices involved in pausing his game.
Topher decided it was probably worth it.
"Come in?"

Date: 2012-04-25 02:10 am (UTC)"...oh," Topher said, blushing a little. Look, he hadn't expected anyone to know that it was his birthday, let alone acknowledge it. "Thanks. I, uh. Didn't realize people, you know. Knew about it. I mean. Thanks."
Yeah, Topher, you'd said that already. And that giant grin made you look like a dork.

Date: 2012-04-25 02:12 am (UTC)Look, he wasn't used to having to choose his words particularly carefully, but after today, he really, really had to.
"Noooo," he said carefully after a minute of... looking a little shifty. "He's. No. Nuh-uh."
