His darling...

Chapter five

In the franxx hanger dr franxx meets with hira and two. Nana introduced Hira to doctor franxx as two glares at the doctor. Doctor franxx ignores him as he walks up to Hira and begins to speak "Hira your the first stamen to not loose their mind while piloting with zero two" when he calls two zero two the boy gets visibly annoyed and angry. The doctor continues "I plan to watch your endeavors with great interest. I also had zero two-" once again when he calls two zero two he gets even madder.
"And strelitzia moved into squad 13 officially" with that doctor franx beings to leave before turning to two "it was nice seeing you zero two. You are truly a fine specimen" as soon as he was finished two leaps at doctor franxx out of anger and hatred. Hachi steps in between them stopping two from going after doctor franxx as he leaves. Two glares at hachi before walking off angrily. xxxxxxxxXXXXX
After the success of the kissing squad 13 is given a vacation to a beach. Two chooses to stay away from everybody else as he sits on a cliff above everyone else. Hira noticed this and headed for two.
She sat down with him and asked "why'd you get so mad when the doctor called you zero tw-
" suddenly two turns and puts his finger to her lips. "Darling I'd suggest you never mention that name. I hate it so much." Hira opens her mouth to speak but two beats her to the punch "it's the name the doctor calls me. It's both my code and another way to say oni or demon. In short they're calling me less than human. A monster." He says while biting down on his fingernails. Hira senses that he probably doesn't want to talk about it so she leaves him alone.

later mitsuru brings the group to something he found. It's an old human town. Two walks alone sulking when he notices an old bookstore. Hira is following close behind but two doesn't know that.
As two grabs a book titled "the beast and the princess" he starts to break down and cry. Hira goes to comfort him but he throws her back before growling "go away! You aren't her!" Hira confused stands there as two bawls his eyes out. Suddenly everyone calls to them to head back. Two throws the book down before smashing it in anger and follows after Hira to the rest of the group.

After eating dinner everyone is asleep but two is sleeping on the cliff nearby not wanting to be near anyone else. He shakes and trembles in his sleep as he has a nightmare. In his sleep he begins to mutter "darling... darling.... 'Il find you... you'll save me again... all I have to do is kill more klaxosaurs... then l'Il be human.." and he doesn't stop muttering that in his sleep until dawn when he wakes up. He sighs as he notices his horns have grown larger and his fangs are now visible even when his mouth is closed. "You've gotta be kidding me. I've killed every klaxosaur I can and yet it's never enough. I just want to be human. I just want to be with my darling.." he says as he somberly packs his things and heads back to the others as they all go back to the plantation. When they see him many freak out most of them thinking that he's a monster in their heads.

As the franx are fighting a klaxosaur acid from it melts into the cockpits of the franxx melting the stamens suits. However due to where strelitzia was position the acid hits the pistils suit instead causing the majority of two's suit to melt off. After one of the other pistils makes it know what happened Hira and the other stamen freak out. When Hira continued to freak out two spoke up "Hira
your suit is fine. Keep going. We need to kill the klakasaur" under his breath two adds "so I can be human.." Hira confused by this but trusting two helps kill the klaxosaur. When the group head back the girls are yelling at the boys but when strelitzia gets back and the girls look they gasp. Two's suit is mostly gone. Only a large portion of his pants are still there (A/N: I ain't gonna expose his junk to the world guys Dw) they see two has scales on his body as well as many scars and small holes in his skin. He scoffs at the other franxx little as he walks out of his own franxx "you're all ridiculous.
Stop fighting over trivial stuff." The other pilots stare at two as he walks away. Suddenly zorome mutters the words "I knew he wasn't human" under his breath. Then two turns around as his horns and eyes glow slightly "what'd you say zorome?" Zorome starts sweating bullets as he didn't think two would hear him "I- I- I can ex-"
two grabs zorome by the throat and tosses across the hanger floor. "Human? What even is being human? All I'm ever called is a demon or a monster. What is it to be human? What is it to you?" He says as he storms off. The other squad 13 members just stand there unable to believe what just happened. Zorome gets up and speaks "I think I messed up" the rest of the squad stare at him unable to believe how stupid he was. Hira in paticular looked the most pissed. She spoke to Zorome angrily "you idiot" then ichigo speaks up "I think everyone knows this but from now this is an official order from me, your squad leader. Nobody is to call two a monster. Just because he lacks a human like appearance doesn't mean he doesn't have the same emotions we do". With that squad 13 solemnly goes back to their living quarters.
