Thorn isn't sleeping again. Let's see how this will play out. LOL.
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: "Do you sleep anymore?"
"I scheduled a nap for a week from next Tuesday."
Smilee sighed as he stood in the doorway to one of the side rooms at the hanger, still currently unnoticed by the sole inhabitant. This was "the Hub," as Thorn called it, and it was the one place that everyone could find said hacker, as he rarely left it. Smilee still wasn't sure why he had been "nominated" by Luna to go and check on the man, since no one had really seen him in a few days. That had led him to where he currently was, unnoticed by the hacker as he sat working on something that looked like it was an attachment for his computer. Which would be a change, as that would mean that he was actually working on things for himself and not others.
Shaking his head to refocus himself to the task at hand, Smilee sighed again as he walked fully into the room, clearing his throat as he went so that he wouldn't startle the zoned-out hacker. Thorn still jumped when the noise invaded his quiet, turning to see his best friend looking at him with an amused look on his face. Giving a little wave, Thorn turned back towards his project, effectively ignoring the intruder to his space in favor of finishing what he had started.,
Sitting down in the vacant chair next to the hacker (being ignored was practically an invitation from the hacker to come in), Smilee shook his head once again. "What are you working on, Thorn?"
"Hmm?"
"What are you working on so intently?"
"Oh! It's a new attachment for my wrist computer to help with…wait. You were just starting a conversation and don't actually want to know, do you?"
Smilee raised his eyebrows in surprise. This was the first time that Thorn had called any of them out on that. "Well, no, I don't really want to know about it. Do you know how long you've been working here without sleeping?"
"Oh, probably a couple of days or longer."
'Most people would find that concerning."
"Nah, it's just a fact of life."
Smilee gave Thorn an incredulous look. "Do you even sleep anymore?"
To his credit, Thorn did seem to give the question a bit of thought before he answered with conviction. "I believe that I scheduled a nap for a week from next Tuesday."
"Not good enough, brother."
Both men turned to see Jacoba standing in the doorway, her arms crossed over her chest and a stony look on her face. Thorn just sighed and put his project down before getting up and stretching. Giving his (practically) sister a small smile (and being rewarded with an eye roll), he turned back to Smilee. "Looks like that nap is rescheduled for today, since I don't think that my sister is going to let me continue until I at least take a couple hour nap."
"Damn right. Let's go."
Smilee was still shaking his head as the duo walked out of the Hub. This could only happen to his best friend.
