//Sequel to Zorome X Miku: The Forgotten Children// Nine months have passed since Miku and Zorome had both fallen ill with the strange sickness that overtook the group of forgotten parasites. Things have been going smoothly and Kokoro and her partner Mitsuru have given birth to a healthy baby girl. However, a harsh cold season approaches, one the squad isn't quite prepared for, and tensions are high. As things get worse, Miku begins to worry more and more about their future, especially when Zorome begins to act weird. Will Miku be able to handle her emotions as a harsh time approaches, or will she cave to the pressures of surviving on their own after being abandoned by the adults?

In this AU, Papa and the Adults never came back for Planation 13, believing that it would only be a hindrance to their plans. Interaction with the plantation was banned. This left the children to have to provide for themselves. After Zorome spends a while talking to Zero Two, he finally finds out what the meaning of the word love is and realizes why she is so close to Hiro. He also realizes that is exactly how he feels about Miku, his FranXX partner. Unsure if he is supposed to say anything, Zorome silently dwells on the feelings that are flowing through him whenever he thinks about the red-headed girl while she is oblivious to how he feels. One day, however, Miku gets very sick, and Zorome struggles to deal with watching her suffer. He also struggles on whether or not he should tell her how he feels or keep her in the dark about it...

Hiro and Zero Two are gone now and the rest of the remaining parasites have realized that they are never coming back. Determined to leave a legacy, Zorome and Miku eventually decide to be teachers together and to take on the world in a way they would've never thought possible during their life as parasites. However, their path to teaching the new generation will be full of challenges they've never faced. Still young themselves, Zorome and Miku still have a lot to learn about the world they live in, especially as their new society begins to form.

This is ZoroMiku's love story depicted in different universes and scenarios. Okay, okay, I know that they're just oneshots and I did mention in my previous book that I won't be writing any of them, but I ended up doing it. These are actually the bonus chapters in the Thorns and Roses book and it seemed right if I gathered them all in a separate one. Enjoy it anyway!

This is a story focusing on the blooming emotions of Zorome and Miku, while the entire Squad 13 reside in a boarding school with strict regulations. So, how do the people around them act towards their unusual relationship? With the klaxosaurs out of the equation, will our beloved parasites still be able to deal with their ever changing emotions? Expect a whirlwind of hormonal mood swings, wacky tsundere moments, and maybe a bit of ~romance~? *wink wonk* Set in a present-day alternate universe. This Wattpad book is based on the anime DARLING in the FRANXX. The cover is by my great friend, @Ciphette! I clearly don't own the characters and the anime DARLING in the FRANXX, it's owned by TRIGGER, A-1 Pictures, CloverWorks, Atushi Nishigori
