Cold Blooded (Male Godzilla Reader x Darling in the Franxx

Chapter 9: Titanomachy

It had been a whole week since Ichigo "confronted" (Y/N) and almost a whole month since the Kaiju and Klaxosaur attacks suddenly stopped. No one knew what to make of it, but it was clear that this "Godzilla" had put a kink in the plans of Humanity's enemies.

It was early morning and the sun had only just risen over the Boarding House. All of Squad 13 sat in the dining area eating breakfast, all save for one. (Y/N). Ichigo sat at the table, eating with her comrades. With an empty chair next to her... She and (Y/N) had yet to reveal their "status" to the rest of the squad, and if she was being entirely honest? She couldn't wait to see the looks on Zorome and Miku's faces.

"Ichigo!"

She was suddenly snapped out of her trance by Ikuno, uncharacteristically raising her voice. Most likely, she'd been trying to get her attention for the last minute or so and was growing impatient.

"Sorry," She apologized, "Yes Ikuno?"

Ikuno adjusted her glasses before responding, "How have the sims with (Y/N) been going?"

Ichigos' stomach then slightly sank with the new topic. She and (Y/N) had been going through drift compatibility simulations, but for some reason, it wouldn't work. Neither of them were chasing the RABIT, they'd just suddenly come out of alignment.

Ichigo cleared her throat before responding, "It uh...hasn't been going great"

"Oh no," Kokoro said, ever the empathetic soul, "Why's that?"

"The techs aren't sure," Ichigo responded, "But I'm sure they'll get everything figured out"

Suddenly, the door to the dining room swung open and (Y/N) walked in, tiredly rubbing the back of his neck, his tail dragging behind on the ground.

"Morning" He mumbled, to which he received drastically different responses. Some actual greetings like from Zero Two and Kokoro, while others were barely even grunts of acknowledgement like from Zorome and Mitsuru.

He then walked up behind Ichigo from behind and pecked her on the cheek, all while having a very self-satisfied grin on his face. "Morning, my Angel~" He greeted her affectionately before sitting down in the seat next to her.

The entire room went silent as reactions went from mildly surprised to eyes wide to jaws dropped in shock. And as Ichigo predicted, Zoromes' and Mikus' reactions were priceless

"I-I WHA?" Miku stuttered in a state of utter shock, not before her partner put in his own two cents. "YOU TWO!? SINCE WHEN!?" He shouted in a state of sheer confusion

(Y/N) then looked at him, that same smug grin still on his face. "Last week. Why?"

As Zorome stuttered to find a response, Ichigo could see Zero Two out of the corner of her eye. While she did have a smug grin that said "I told you so~", her eyes told a completely different story. They were thankful and happy, they would've said "Thank you"

Ichigo simply nodded to her comrade before resuming her meal

As the midday sun shone on the Cerasus Plantation and the arid desert wind blew against its hull. Miles away, an enormous metallic claw struck the ground, kicking up a cloud of dirt and dust. A Mohorovičić Class Klaxosaur stared out at the structure from afar with a Transport Class hovering nearby. The Mohorovičić uttered a groan, to which the Carrier Class responded by opening its hatch.

As it did, two large forms fell from the Transport Class' gestation chamber. One creature was smaller but had an impressive set of horns and bolstered several pairs of limbs, the other was a humanoid creature that stood anywhere between 300 to 400 feet tall and had a long tail.
