As it turned out, it was harder to take stories down from a kink meme than you might think. Perils of posting anonymously and all that -- no easy delete button.
Which was why it was fortunate that Topher didn't need a delete button, and managed with little trouble to not only take the story down, but also to gift the moderators with some thoughtful presents to express his appreciation of their entire stupid system.
Mean, system-disrupty presents. Sorry, Pepper totally anonymous moderators.
At least it felt useful to do that rather than the whole video-game-zombie-killing thing. That was a plus. Once he was finished, he considered working a bit on some of Peter's spybots, since his weetiny self had not been kind to them, but the memory of working on them with Tony put that on a definite hold.
So. Moping Hacking for sport it was.
[[for that guy getting a jump start on his career as a heartbreaker actually screw that, i'm bored. door shut but post open.]]

Date: 2011-11-17 02:18 am (UTC)A 'who is it?' might've been a smarter choice, but, well.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 02:20 am (UTC)And not going to be sleeping any time soon. So...
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 02:24 am (UTC)Well. That was unexpected. Topher hadn't expected Tony to show up, like, ever, except now he was here and kind of dirty and he looked, um, really good like that, but that was an issue for another time, and why was he here?
"Yeah," Topher said quietly, looking anxious. "Um. I wasn't going to..."
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 02:26 am (UTC)no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 02:31 am (UTC)Wait, what?
"What do you mean? You mean you don't..."
That had the potential to be the Best News Ever, but misinterpreting it would be bad and he could at least manage to reign in his reaction until he was sure. Well. Probably.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 02:32 am (UTC)"Don't...?" Tony prompted slowly.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 02:35 am (UTC)It was probably stupid, he figured, how utterly fixated he was on this, but he just kept thinking about that time in frat when Tony had said that they were friends, and no one had ever said that to him before, let alone someone like Tony, and it was... a hard idea to let go of.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 02:36 am (UTC)THE BAD TOUCH LECTURE, HOWEVER...
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 02:41 am (UTC)"Oh," Topher said, aiming for cool and casual and failing miserably. "Oh. 'Cause, um. Yeah. That's good."
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 02:44 am (UTC)"We're going to have to talk about Thursday sometime soon, though."
When he wasn't half dead. And smelling like he was homeless.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 02:47 am (UTC)Plus there was the matter of the dirty clothes, and Topher just so happened to have a shirt of Tony's on hand that he could... probably be persuaded to give up. If Tony asked nicely.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 02:51 am (UTC)"I'm just stopping by to get some clothes and head back to the lab." To work through his issues in a completely healthy manner. "Got anything caffeinated that I can steal?"
ENABLE HIIIIIM.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 02:56 am (UTC)"Yeah, definitely," Topher answered, getting up to grab a couple of Mountain Dews out of the fridge. He tossed one to Tony, then flopped back on the bed and offered, maybe a little too eagerly at the chance to get to help somehow, "You need a shirt or something?"
DON'T DO IT, TONY. NOT UNLESS YOU WANTED IT TO TURN INTO TOPHER'S MOST PRIZED PILLOW.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 02:58 am (UTC)no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 03:00 am (UTC)And now Topher was back up again, rifling through his meticulously-organized closet. "This okay?" he offered, holding up a sweater vest.
THERE WAS A NEW LOOK FOR TONY. HOT.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 03:02 am (UTC)"I'll be fine without," Tony assured him. "T-shirts are more my thing."
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 03:04 am (UTC)Topher winced, then presented an alternative. Which was Tony's shirt from Thursday, because he was weird. "There's this too," he offered reluctantly.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 03:05 am (UTC)no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 03:07 am (UTC)"Maaaaaybe? I think, uh, on Thursday things got kind of mixed up, so I might've, uh..."
STOLEN IT. TO WEAR AND CUDDLE AND OCCASIONALLY SNIFF WHILE PETER WATCHED IN HORROR.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 03:09 am (UTC)no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 03:11 am (UTC)"Uh, yeah?" Topher said, trying to make it sound like it was obvious. Too bad he looked just a bit too deer-in-the-headlights for that to really go over very well. "You told me. At the ki-- uh, carnival."
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 03:13 am (UTC)Or stalk. He had more than enough experience there, thanks.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 03:16 am (UTC)"I know," Topher said again, drawing in closer on himself because, fine, he really hadn't known that. "It was just, like, an accident. With the... drinking. You know."
WORST LIE EVER.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 03:18 am (UTC)"Topher. I'm serious," Tony said, looking down at the ground. "I've had a seriously bad couple of days and don't want to deal with this again."
