The legalities: I do not own any of the Expendables franchise (characters, places, and objects especially) and this is mostly au.Rated M just to be on the safe side.
Also, please don't be afraid to write reviews. I would love to hear from you all!
Hope you enjoy!
Prompt: "You guys realize how incredibly codependent you are right?"
"So?"
"Hey Gunnar, what's up?"
Gunnar looked up from the couch where he was lounging, Jacoba curled up on his lap, both reading a book and relaxing. Caesar was standing above them, looking down with a bit of a blank face. Since Caesar wasn't forthcoming with anymore quips, Gunnar closed his book and replied, "Nothing, Caesar, what do you need?"
"Oh, nothing. What are you two doing?"
Jacoba groaned and leaned her head back on Gunnar's chest, glaring up at Caesar. "Well, we were just reading and relaxing before we need to head out to an appointment. Was that what you were looking for when you interrupted us?"
Caesar acted affronted. "Oh, come now, J.D. I'm not that bad."
"I'm going back to reading."
"Well, you're no fun." Caesar turned and started towards the door. He called over his shoulder, "You guys realize how incredibly codependent you are, right?"
Gunnar scoffed. 'So?"
Jacoba didn't even look up from her book. "I think you need to refresh your definition of codependent." At the complete silence that followed, she looked up to see Caesar looking confused and felt Gunnar smirk against her neck. Rolling her eyes, she explained. "Well, the definition of codependent is to be characterized by excessive emotional or psychological reliance on a partner, typically one who requires support on account of an illness or addiction. And I know for a fact that we don't have excessive reliance on each other, so you really need to rethink your definition."
By now, she could feel that Gunnar was shaking with laughter and she was trying to not smirk outright. Caesar just huffed, turned, and walked back out of the room without another word. Jacoba tried to go back to reading, only to find herself with her back on the couch and Gunnar looking over her. He leaned down to her ear as she raised her eyebrow. "I love it when you fact-check out friends." Jacoba's laughter was swallowed as Gunnar began to kiss her senseless.
"Oh, come on guys!"
