Apartment Above Stark Industries, Wednesday Night

Outside, it was freezing and the snow was still blowing around like it would never be warm again.

Inside, it was warm, there was coffee, and Tyler was trolling survivalist forums on his laptop. Randomly insulting people hadn't lost its thrill.

"Will anyone deliver in this?" he asked Tony, not looking up.

Comments

"I'm changing my username to GoodChristian10," Tyler informed him, and he did just that before going back to typing out his screed.

That earned him a a pleased kiss on the neck as Tony came up behind him to look. "Spell it with zeroes instead of o's."

[tyler_gone]

And the username became G00dKristian10 as Tyler gave a pleased squirm. "Much more realistic," he said judiciously. "Hey, after I'm done with this, wanna see if you're on ONTD this week?"

"I only show up on that when my stocks take a hit." So, yes. Yes he would.

"How are they doing these days?" Tyler asked, scooting over to encourage Tony to sit next to him.

Which Tony promptly did, stretching out like he owned the place. Because he did. "It's been better," He admitted.

Tyler rested his hand on Tony's stomach and traced tiny circles. "Do you know what you're going to do?"

He didn't care, in particular, except in that Tony cared.

Tony shot him a faintly amused look before returning the focus back to the computer. "There are always highs and lows in the market. Pepper's doing a good job with it, though."

Which he wouldn't tell her unless forced into it.

[tyler_gone]

Tyler shrugged, looking equally amused. "She's a smart woman."

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

"Yes, well. That's why I hired her," Tony blustered. Though the 6 inch heels might have helped her chances.

Tyler snorted, finally looking away from the screen to find Tony's eyes.

"And it wasn't at all 'cause she's hot?"

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

"You think I'd be so shallow"?

Yes, Tony was having trouble saying that with a straight face.

[tyler_gone]

"You used to order dates based on how they looked on the cover of Maxim."

"How else would I pick them?" Tony asked with a bright grin.

[tyler_gone]

"You could look for the girls who show up at support group meetings for diseases you don't have."

Hey, it worked for Tyler. Oh, wait, it didn't.

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

"...say that again?"

[tyler_gone]

"... Marla stuff. You don't want to know."

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

"Uh-huh." Tony was just going to ignore it forever. It was healthy, right? "Remind me to never let you pick where to meet women."
