Chapter 78 - [67] Spark

A/N: It was late and night and I couldn't sleep so I put on my earphones as played some music.

Sparks by Coldplay suddenly started playing, which inspired this chapter.

I aslo wanted to do a chapter that showed Otto's interaction with his girlfriend.

I'll do one for Lavinia later.

As he finished is call, Otto lowered the phone from his ear and to the table.

Taking a deep sigh, he refocused his attention to his breakfast.

It was a pair of fluffy pancakes, drizzled with warm chocolate and toped off with strawberries.

He took up his utensils and was about to start eating but a voice suddenly called out to him.

"Are you finished with your call?" Himeko walked into the kitchen while rubbing her droopy eyes.

She was wearing her deep red pajamas, the shoulder part of her Pj's sliding to the side of her snow white shoulder.

Otto lightly chuckled looking at Himeko's wild morning hair that was an absolute mess.

Seeing him laugh, Himeko puted cutely as she knew what Otto was laughing about.

She strided a cross the room and reached Otto, she swiftly moved over him and onto his lap.

"Hmmm pancakes~" she hummed happily as she looked at Otto's breakfast.

Otto wrapped his arms around Himeko's waist, bringing her back closer to his chest.

"Yeah, those are MY pancakes" Otto grumbled.

Himeko only gave him a slight smirk before she began to take a bite out of his breakfast.

Otto grumbled In anoyance once again but decided to forgive her.

Otto's chin rested over her shoulder, hugging her waist tighter. Otto could smell the smell of roses, he didn't know how or why but Himeko naturally smelled like that.

And that warmth coming from her body-it was contagious, addictive. It felt like hugging what safety was.

"Something wrong?" Himeko asked Otto, her mouth stuffed with food.

To most Otto might be known as the villainous person whose always two multiverses ahead of others, but to Himeko he was just her clingy boyfriend that was an absolute weeb and a tech enthusiast.

There's nothing wrong with him being clingy, but he was more clingy than usual.

"It's nothing, Spark" Otto said, Himeko rolled her eyes hearing the nickname.

"You're still calling me that?" Ever since they started dating Otto gave her the nickname, spark.

He never told her why he named her that but she juts guessed it was becuase of how she acted when she was a kid. It could also be becuase most of her powers are fire based.

{A/N: The nickname Sparky means; energetic, clever, and enjoyable to be with}

"Of course I do, you're my spark" Otto softly muttered.

Otto's hug tightened.

The real reason behind her nickname was becuase he saw Himeko as a spark.

Ever brilliant from the moment they were made. Shining bright and loud, catching and drawing everyone's attention.

But most of all, as quick as a spark is born, so to they snuf out.

Otto always remembers something specific about Himeko about his last life, she brave, kind, compassionate, and has a habit of putting herself before others.

Probably why she has a habit of dying so early on in most of the Honkai universes.

But even if that nickname means that Himeko will eventually snuff out, it won't happen.

It won't because he has himself be her side. He's that enveloping darkness that surrounds that beautiful spark, allowing it to shine even brighter. Allowing it to continue to shower the world with it's own brilliance.

Even if it means that the cold and endless darkness will end up swallowing its own self, just so that spark may continue shine.

Even if it's just for a little while longer.

She's that crackling spark that always catches his attention.

"Sigh~ I guess you won't stop calling me that way" Himeko gave up in trying to convince Otto to change her nickname of endearment.

She layed back, her back sticking close to his chest. She already felt full from eating Otto's food, making her a bit sleepy despite having just woken up.

She's slowly closed her eyes, enjoying the sensation of Otto arms around her waist.

She soon fell asleep once again, tough this time in Otto's embrace. It seems like she got a tad but to comfortable while she was still sleepy.

Otto smiled wrily as he held on to her sleeping figure in his lap, he didn't mind at all.

He gently smiled at her and wiped the chocolate that was smeared on her mouth, probably from eating his Pancakes to quickly.

"Sleep tight, Himeko" Otto softly murmured.

Sleep tight, my spark.
