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 know your day is off to a great start when you wake up and your first thought is 'no.'"

Jacoba stretched as she opened her eyes. She had spent the night at Gunnar's apartment after their date the night before and was feeling rather content with how her life was playing out right now. When her outstretched arm did not hit the solid chest of her lover like she had expected it to, she turned to look at the empty side of the bed, frowning. That was until she heard movement in the other room and realized that he must have gotten up to feed his cat, Stig. She was a bit surprised that that feline hadn't come to lay on her as of yet.

Rolling her eyes, Jacoba moved so she was laying on her back, looking up at the ceiling. She didn't know exactly what it was, but she could tell by the way that the light was coming into the window that it was later than she normally got up. That in and of itself told her that she should probably actually get up and do something with her day. However, she found herself starting to doze off again without really trying to.

That was how Gunnar found her when he came back into the bedroom. Chuckling quietly to himself, he leaned over and kissed her forehead, causing her to stir once again and smile up at him. "Lazy day, doll?"

Jacoba chuckled before turning towards him. "Well, hon, you know that your day is off to a great start when you wake up and your first thought 'no.'"

Gunnar laughed as he lay down to her, smiling wide as she moved over so that she was laying with her head on his chest. "And what are you saying no to today, doll?"

"Doing anything but laying around and spending time with you."

"Stig might disagree."

Jacoba scoffed as she propped herself on one elbow and half-glared down at the smirking man next to her. "Your damn cat can do whatever the hell he wants, Gunnar. Today is going to be a day just for us and if his majesty Stig decides that he wishes to grace us with his presence, he may or may not get an eyeful. But I, for one, am not going to worry about…"

She was cut off from her rant as Gunnar pulled her into him and began to kiss her. This was going to be a good, relaxing day for once. No need to rant or argue whatsoever. That could come tomorrow.
