Chapter Text
Lena Oxton had expected many things from her “condition”. Difficulty keeping track of time was one. The ability to manipulate time to a certain extent had been a nice bonus. The panic attacks and nightmares had been, were, difficult. Then, there was this.
For whatever reason, she just got really hungry for no reason at random times.
Waking up with a rumbling stomach at a little past one in the morning, she groaned, trying to turn over and ignore it.
After an especially loud complaint from her digestive system she finally conceded defeat, disentangling herself from her lovers limbs and heading to the kitchen.
Muttering to herself at the inconvenience of it all, she set about making herself a quick later than midnight snack.
Trying to keep quiet so as not to disturb her girlfriend, she prepared a quick sandwich out of some of the left overs in the fridge, grabbing a can of cola as an afterthought.
Sitting herself down to enjoy the best of a bad situation, she stopped with her meal halfway to her mouth as the lights flicked on.
“You really need to learn how to keep you volume down.” Amélie said dryly, still rubbing sleep from her eyes.
“Sorry luv,” she replied, placing her sandwich back on the plate. “I’d say it won’t happen again, but, y’know…”
Amélie conceded the point with a snort of laughter, before claiming the chair opposite her.
“If you are going to wake me up then you are going to keep me company.”
Lena laughed at that, then got busy digging into her early morning meal, Amélie watching her with a small smile on her face.
