Darling In the Franxx: 1000 Years later

The Beginning of Their Story

Hey guys, Orion_7 here. I think that DITF was an amazing anime, despite some...specific things that aren't worth mentioning. I though that the story wrapped up beautifully, but the story that was set up by the ending was too good to be left as just an ending. So here is my take on a DITF season 2 story. Enjoy!

"Zero Two...we're becoming one. Now you are me... We're probably going to disappear soon but the path we walked on, others will take it from here... I love you, Zero two"

Hiro sprung up from his bed in a cold sweat, panting heavily as his sight came to him. This wasn't the first time Hiro had had this kind of dream. They had become more frequent in the past few years, happening on an on and off basis. It was always something similar to the next, seeing glimpses of blurry faces moving about, but there was always one that appeared in every dream, a blurred face with what he could assume was beautiful pink hair. She was always there in his dreams, and the ironic thing was, he already knew someone with beautiful pink hair...

"Man, that dream again...I still have no idea what it even is," Hiro quietly said to himself as he laid back down his his bed. 

Hiro stared up at the ceiling in his moonlight room. Before long, he got restless. Hire stood up, wearing nothing but a pair of navy blue boxers, and walked over to his bedroom window and opened it. 

Gleaming before him was the utopian city of Mistilteinn, named after a place that he had learned in his history class a few weeks prior. It beauty sparkled under the moonlight sky, complimenting the stars that shown above. What made this view so great to him was that it gave him the perfect view of the Giant Sakura, a massive tree sitting on a lone hill in the city park. That was the place where he first met her, his closest and dearest friend. 

"Heh...I wonder if she ever has dreams like mine..." Hiro said to himself as he gazed out his window 

"And you are me... It doesn't matter how long it takes, as long as we have souls, I'm sure I will meet you again on Earth and we'll pick up where we left off... I feel the same. I love you, darling."

Iota, much like Hiro, shot up in her bead, panting heavily and drenched in sweat. She threw he bedsheets off of herself and sat on the edge of her bed, holding herself up with her hands on her knees. 

This wasn't the first time Iota had had this kind of dream. They had become more frequent in the past few years, happening on an on and off basis. It was always something similar to the next, seeing glimpses of blurry faces moving about, but there was always one that appeared in every dream, a blurred face with what she could assume was wavy black hair. He was always there in her dreams, and the ironic thing was, she already knew someone with wavy black hair...

Iota stared at the ground in her moonlight room. Before long, she got restless. Iota stood up, wearing nothing but a pair of bright pink panties and a bra to match, walked over to her bedroom window and opened it.

Gleaming before her was the utopian city of Mistilteinn, named after a place that she had learned in his history class a few weeks prior. It beauty sparkled under the moonlight sky, complimenting the stars that shown above. What made this view so great to her was that it gave her the perfect view of the Giant Sakura, a massive tree sitting on a lone hill in the city park. That was the place where she first met him, her closest and dearest friend. 

"Hmm...I wonder if he ever has dreams like mine..." Iota thought to herself as she gazed out her window.

Unbeknownst to both of them, those dreams meant more to each other than they could even fathom. They weren't just dreams, they were memories, memories tucked deep within their souls...
