We'll be together... Until we die... Darling~

Hiro and Zerotwo were in the mission hall. Hiro leaned against the railing at the back with his arms crossed. He had overheard there was chaos in the city from Nana and Hachi, something about a 'Reproduction Resistance' or something.

He laughed to himself, it had been 5 days since then. He looked at Zerotwo, who was looking out the window, leaning on the railing with her elbows. He sighed and said "Angel..." Zerotwo looked at him, a bit angry. She asked him to have sex with her everyday, but he never agreed.

Maybe it was her? She felt worse thinking about it.

She turned back and said "What." Hiro sighed again and again before saying "Sex is a really serious thing. You'll remember your first time for the rest of your life, it's special. You don't want it to me in the residence, do you?"

She looked over and said in a bad mood "I don't care as long as it's with you! Why don't you understand that?!" Hiro rubbed his eyes and said "I do understand! But you don't realize I want it to be special! You deserve special! Not to be used and thrown away! Your special to me! Do you get it?"

Zerotwo didn't say anything and turned away, Hiro sighed and kept his silence, crossing his arms again. He was clearly not in a good mood, he looked at the others and growled "What." they quickly looked away 'When they're in a bad mood stay away'

There were new rules in the house. Most of them pertaining to Hiro and Zerotwo. When to stay away from them, so as not to get shot with a stray bullet. One time Miku was walking around and bumped into Hiro, who just woke up and got blasted for not paying attention.

Another time, Ichigo looked at Zerotwo, who was separated from Hiro for something. Ichigo will never forget that day, she almost cried...

In short, they were power kegs at certain moments. Other moments they were all over each other. It was very strange, the others didn't understand. Though recently, they seemed to be arguing over something. Goro noticed that Zerotwo was pushing and Hiro was the one delaying something, but the rest didn't know what.

Well... Almost everyone.

Kokoro knew what they were talking about. She felt dizzy hearing all the new information that overloaded her brain. She happened to pass by a room they were in and was going to say hi, a clear violation of the 'Hiro & Zerotwo peace act' rule 5 by the way.

Anyway!

She passed by and heard much, much, more than she needed to about sex. She learned from Hiro's mouth that sex was something special for both people, not just for having babies. She heard the word 'pleasure' and looked it up to see 'a feeling of happiness or enjoyment' she thought that it sounded like fun.

Obviously she ignored the other descriptions, silly girl. Hais...

The more she listened the more shocked she was. The conversation ended with 'Let's do it then!' and Hiro saying 'Not yet.' then Zerotwo storming out.

Hiro sighed at that moment and shook his head before walking away.

Kokoro was confused as to why Hiro didn't want to do it. It sounded like a beautiful thing to do.

Back to the present.

Hiro opened a Mystery Chest in frustration.

[Congratulations! You've received Talent Cigarettes!]

He clicked his tongue and stuffed the cigarettes into his system space. He could NOT wait to smoke these and over worry. As they say, drugs are a natural escape mechanism! He looked at the description of the cigarettes.

[Talent Cigarettes: Slowly increased your talents while being smoked! Also, improves your body and is 100% healthy. (20 in a pack. Comes with 5 packs)]

He tapped his foot impatiently, looking at Zerotwo every few seconds. He was really feeling upset, but he wasn't giving to give in. He said "You're mine. You're not going anywhere." she replied "You're not running from me." they spoke at the same time and looked at each other before turning away with pouts.

They both said "Let's do it/wait then!" before clicking their tongues and turning away again.

They sneered "I love you" before kissing, the others felt dizzy, what the fuck is going on over there?!

A few minutes later

They came to an agreement and the partners switched before the rest who didn't want to switch went back to the residence.

Hiro and Zerotwo were standing across from each other in the woods. Hiro suddenly slapped his forehead and said to himself "Am I a fucking idiot? I'm fighting her to not have sex..." he sighed and said "It must be done. My good times will have to wait... For the future!" he screamed and shot forward, stretching his hands out for a hug.

Zerotwo flipped over him and tried to hug him, he planted his hands on the ground and grabbed her armpits with his feet, spinning her in the air before pushing off the ground, spinning it the air and going to hug her.

Flame wings appeared on her back and she flapping in mid air, dodging the hug. Hiro hugged a tree instead and pouted, she gave him a sneer and a thumbs down. He clicked his tongue and ice wings appeared behind him, he flapped them and shot towards her.

She fled into the forest and disappeared. He chased after her, flying extremely fast and looking with his flaw vision for any pink points. He didn't see any and was confused.

Suddenly, he barrel rolled and dodged a hug, he heard a tongue click and Zerotwo disappeared. He crouched on the ground and flooded the forest with water, the water froze and turned to ice. He heard a crack and shot forward, pink hair fluttered out of his sight and he stopped on a tree, looking around.

He knew he shouldn't have given her that extra Invisibility power...

He looked around and the ice suddenly melted as a bunch of trees caught fire. He was startled and doused out the flames, he ducked and Zerotwo flew over his head. He grabbed her ankle and pulled her in but it suddenly crackled with lightning and zapped him.

He let go and drenched her leg in water before quickly freezing it and chasing after her flaming figure. He kept chasing and was suddenly hugged from behind, she wrapped her arms around his heck and her legs around his waist.

Hiro was dazed and looked at the flaming figure that suddenly fizzled out of existence. He said "Fuck! You made a clone?!" she nibbled on his ear and said "Mhm!" Hiro groaned and said "Th-That's a-amazing.. I-I didn't kno-know you knew ho-how to do t-that.. Ugh"

This damn girl was licking his ear. It felt good too!

She grabbed his hand and said "Let's GO Darling~!" Hiro sighed and lit a cigarette before exhaling and walking to the residence. They walked into the door and a loud buzzer went off. Hiro looked up and Zerotwo was enraged, she got off and shouted "FUCKING KLAXOSAURS!!" before stomping towards the Franxx with a furious expression.

Hiro was walking behind her, watching her hips go from side to side, silently thanking the Klaxosaur Queen in his heart for sending this Klaxosaur here to get butchered and buy him some time. He inhaled and tapped the ashes out on the ground before exhaling and continuing to walk.

His view was amazing, honestly, if he was telling the truth, he never got tired of looking at her. His favorite part was her voice, but really he loved every part of her. Every single inch, she was his own personal little Angel. He really couldn't get enough of her. He was really worried that he wouldn't feel the same after they had sex.

He was scared.

Even though that one time in the bathroom he didn't. It wasn't the real thing. Who knows if it will be different? He was really worried and scared. But then again, was he going to put it off forever? Just never have sex with her?

Obviously not.

The time had to come sooner or later and it would be better if it was sooner. For the first time in both his lives he felt anxiety. He smoked his talent cigarette down to the filter and stomped it out, taking a straw and chewing on it instead.

He was never stressed before, if he was being honest. He didn't feel much of anything before so how could he be stressed? School was a joke, he couldn't care less whether he got kicked out or not, the only thing he felt that was close were the butterflies he felt before every hockey game, but he felt like that was more excitement and anticipation than anything.

No stress or anxiety at all.

Pregnancy scare? Nothing.

He was being expelled from school? Alright.

Everything just felt numb, but for the first time in his lives he felt something more. He felt more in these months, than he did in his entire past life. But everything he felt was happy and bubbly and warm. This was the first negative feeling, hm, other than when he saw her walk away that one time.

His world almost crumbled in on itself.

Curious.

Anyway!

He continued following her, not worried about any Gutenberg-class Klaxosaur or whatever it was. If he was right, this was the Klaxosaur that was an amalgamation of Conrad-class Klaxosaurs. They handled it very poorly in the show. Just cut it's front legs off and stop it for a bit, slowly chip away at the Conrad-classes until it died.

Simple, easy, efficient.

He felt he had somewhat changed from his past self. Now he was a lot more analytical. Maybe it was because of the Photographic memories? He didn't know for sure, but he was sure he had changed.

He felt like this was a good change. He felt comfortable in his skin.

As he reflected on his current and past lives, he was already in the Stamen chair and grabbing the handles. Strelizia flew out and joined the other Franxx. Zerotwo shouted "Darling!" Hiro woke up and said "Hm?"

Zerotwo looked at him and said "Klaxosaur? Hello?" Hiro blinked and said "Oh yeah... Cut it's front legs off. It's a bunch of Conrad-classes merged together." Zerotwo pouted and dived in.

Strelizia shot forward and spun in the air, cutting the two front legs off, leaving the rest behind to deal with it. Hiro looked at the Klaxosaur with his flaw vision and saw a black dot in the middle. He engaged the handles and Strelizia moved like lightning, dodging the dozens of Conrad-classes as it flew up the Klaxosaur, cutting into it's skin.

Hiro changed course and Strelizia sliced the head off.

Hiro chewed on the straw and Strelizia grabbed the neck of the Klaxosaur, Hiro grunted and the entire Klaxosaur was lifted into the air.

Strelizia threw it high up and picked up Kokoro and Mitsuru, before throwing them at the Klaxosaur, breaking the sound barrier. Their Franxx stabbed into the Klaxosaur's stomach and fired the giant gun in it's hand, blowing a giant hole in the Klaxosaur.

Strelizia jumped off Zorome's Franxx and flew through the air, thrusting the lance forward and piercing through the core. The Klaxosaur turned into a ball around Strelizia and Goro's Franxx caught Mitsuru's.

The Klaxosaur exploded and a giant pair of blue and red wings held Strelizia in the air. The wings fizzled out and they landed on the ground. The core was flicked into Strelizia's open hand, Hiro and Zerotwo said in unison "Mission Complete."

A while later

The Franxx were back in their docking stations, Hiro got out of Strelizia and held the railing, watching Futoshi punch Mitsuru in the face and shout "The worst thing you can do is make a girl cry!"

Hiro somehow felt the fatty's words were true. Hey, no way! The fatty inadvertently helped him! What a boon! Sucks for the fatty though, his Kokoro was swiped by Mitsuru. Big oof for him. Good thing his love life is booming...

Baby booming?

Oh boy.

Zerotwo wrapped her arms around Hiro's neck, standing on her tip toes as she whispered "You don't have to worry about that... We'll be together, until we die.. Darling~" as she licked his cheek. Hiro wasn't put off, instead he was happy! He nuzzled to her and said "Promise?"

Zerotwo smiled and said "I promise." Hiro kissed her and looked into her eyes before finally taking a deep breath and saying "Let's do it then." Zerotwo jumped in excitement and hugged him, giggling in extreme joy.

Hiro smiled and kissed her lips, leaning back on the railing and hugging her waist. In his mind he was thinking quickly about everything he needed to do before. It had to be special. With a plan in mind, they got out of their uniforms, showered, and left.

Going back to the house with fast beating hearts.
