Thanks to my beta MillionLights for taking the time to read this story and improving it.
It was 2 AM and they were both wide awake in bed, unable to sleep. Both had been out late the night before, so they slept away the day together, warm and cozy under the enormous amount of blankets on their bed that Penny had bought over the years.
Eventually, Leonard rolled over to his wife.
"I can't sleep," he mumbled. Penny glanced over at him.
"Me neither," she agreed. Then she realized something. "I'm hungry."
She got up immediately, not even letting her husband weigh in. He got up with her, seeing that there was no point in staying in bed. He followed her to the kitchen, where he saw her taking things out of the cupboards.
"What are you doing?" he asked, sitting on one of the chairs.
"Brownies. I'm hungry."
"So you're doing brownies at," he looks at where his watch was supposed to be at, but there was none, so he looked at the oven where the time was displayed. "2:48 am?"
"Yes. You can help."
He sighed and complied, getting up to make brownies. Sooner or later, they are both humming a random song and dancing, laughing and sometimes even dancing in sync. Eventually, the brownies were in the oven, and Penny looked at Leonard.
"I don't want to wait for them to be ready."
Leonard laughed at his wife's miserable, hungry face. "What if we just go to some shop and get some burgers?"
She agreed and left the kitchen to go to their bedroom, only to be stopped by her husband.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to change clothes."
"Why? We're going to a 24-hour diner, people go naked to places like those."
Penny stared at him and rolled her eyes, smiling a bit. "Just put on a jacket if you're cold."
They left their apartment after Penny put on a jacket and headed down to a drive through. Since it was late, there was no line, and they were the first to order.
When they got their food, they went home, munching all the way.
The brownies were eaten later, after the burgers. Slightly burned, but after putting whipped cream and smashed chocolate shipped cookies on, they were good enough to be eaten. And when the sun was up, the couple was fast asleep, holding each other.
The End
