Sparx slid Nova on the metal bed, careful not to wake her. The whole team had stayed up very late into the night to plan an attack for the war and everyone was tired.

Sparx's room was being used by a few allies, and ever since he and Nova started a real relationship, they'd shared her room.

He slid onto the bed, next to her, and stayed towards the edge. He never got too close.

Nova's arm flew over her side and hit Sparx. He smiled apolagetically at his snoozing girlfriend and put her arm back on her side.

After Sparx got comfortable, her arm flew over and tapped his head again. Sparx sighed and moved it back over.

This continued a third time, until on the fourth Nova grabbed his arm and pulled him over like he was a teddy bear.

Sparx tried to wiggle away, but Nova had a grip, and the red monkey finally fell asleep in her grasp.

As soon as he began to snore, Nova opened an eye and smiled. Then she snuggled close and fell asleep, too.
