A/N: This one is being used to call attention to a current struggle of mine. I'm battling a crippling Xenoblade Chronicles X addiction!
Athena stared dead-eyed at the TV screen, cans of various energy drinks strew across the floor, as her fingers danced across the controller.
Apollo looked at his girlfriend with concern. She'd been like this ever since that game came out. She'd even called in at the Agency the past few days. "Uh, Athena, don't you think it's time to take a break?"
Athena lazily shook her head. "No. Must. Defeat. Aliens. Save. Mira."
Apollo sighed. He never realized dating a geek would be so tiresome. He'd hardly had any sleep himself, as she refused to turn down the volume.
Suddenly, lightning cracked outside, and the electricity went out for two seconds. Apollo feared for his life, expecting Athena to launch her controller across the room. But as the lights came back on, he looked at the girl on the couch. She remained motionless for a moment before collapsing to one side in absolute exhaustion.
Apollo breathed a sigh of relief and stepped up to couch, pulling a blanket across the girl's sleeping form.
