THE BABY OTP
They’re just so good for one another. Besides Chibiusa being one of Hotaru’s first friends and visa versa, Chibiusa basically goes full Michiru and chooses Hotaru’s life over the world (thinking specifically of the Nehelenia arc). She’s less self aware than Michiru and far less calculating. And Hotaru needs Chibs to do this so much. Again and again Hotaru’s life is posed as disposable— first because she is Saturn, then because Haruka and Michiru get desparate against Galaxia. She needs to hear Chibusa say no, don’t sacrifice your life even though it would save everyone. And Chibs basically dies for that choice. She dies for her love for Hotaru. And that’s beautiful as friendship, but it’s also beautiful as innocent romantic love. It would be really easy, I think, for them to grow up loving each other, and have it evolve into a lifetime partnership. They trust each other so much, and have so many reasons to trust each other. Add in that their personalities compliment each other and that they’re shown again and again to make each other so so happy, and I really think that they’d overcome all time shenanigans and monstrous obstacles to have a long, loving relationship.
