A lot of people like to think Hiro would be the “chill, responsible” parent but we’re all forgetting homeboy was a mini-Kamina at, like, 8. He’d teach his kids to make grapple hooks with grass strands and egg shells just in case of necessity, I’m sure. Combined with the sweet tooth they probably got from Zero Two, Futoshi’s bakery isn’t a safe place for tarts anymore

I wouldn’t exactly say Hiro is teaching them crazy stuff like that (because honestly, they’d figure it out on their own), but I definitely do see him as being the “fun” parent. Zero Two surprisingly takes to the role of being the rule-setter…which isn’t to say she doesn’t have moments of being the “fun” one. For one thing, she is absolutely the favorite aunt among the rest of the Squad 13 kids. They all agree she’s the most fun.

But with her own children, they all know she’s the boss and when it is and isn’t okay to goof around. If they’re scattered about, she’ll whistle once for dinner, and all of them will be back in the house in minutes. And on the flipside, she’s always the first one any of them go to if they’re upset and need comfort.

Also, yes, no pastry is safe if any of the HiroTwo kids around. They will get it, and you cannot stop them.

So it’s not uncommon in the HiroTwo household for cuddle piles to happen. More often than not, they’re started by one of the kids finding Hiro napping somewhere and then deciding “this is an excellent place to nap”. As time passes, the rest of the kids (and Zero Two eventually) show up and come to the same conclusion.

Basically, Hiro is a giant bed for his family and has resigned himself to not being able to move for awhile if he takes a nap anywhere near them.

HiroTwo Wedding

So in honor of it being one week since the final episode, I figured I’d write up some hcs I had for Hiro and Zero Two’s wedding. I like to think that despite having quite literally the biggest wedding in the universe, the rest of Squad 13 would insist on Hiro and Zero Two having a wedding back on Earth. 

This, uh, this really got out of control, but I’m really pleased with it. Thanks again to @tachipaws for sharing ideas and letting me just spout nonsense to work some of these out.

  • Mitsuru and Kokoro would be the biggest advocate of it considering it was Hiro and Zero Two’s idea for them to get married originally.
  • Mitsuru makes their wedding rings for them, and it leads to him being the first jeweler in the new society
    • They would cut off a piece of their horns and have it set in their wedding bands (which is later a tradition they pass down to their children)
  • Ichigo settles into being the coordinator like it’s the most natural thing in the world
    • She takes it very seriously because it’s for two of her best friends in the world, but also because it’s going to be the first wedding the rest of the Parasites are ever going to see, so she wants it to make an impact
  • Ichigo has basically been planning since the moment they left, and the really amazing thing is that she managed to keep it a secret from the others…except for Goro because he knows her too well
  • At some point, while digging through Dr Franxx’s files, Hachi and Nana discover more reference material about weddings, and they pass it on to Ichigo where she learns about the concept of the wedding party
  • When Zero Two finds out about the wedding party, she immediately picks Ichigo to be her maid of honor. Meanwhile, Hiro has Goro be his best man.
  • The ceremony itself was originally planned to be a relatively simple one, but once word gets about it to the rest of the Parasites, suddenly everyone wants to be involved in some way.
  • In the end, the ceremony ends up being this incredibly grand affair because all of the Parasites end up being invited to the wedding
  • There are just strelitzias everywhere. If there’s a flower placement, you can be assured that strelitzia’s are the centerpiece, and they’re all accompanied by flowers of green, purple, pink, and blue to represent the other Franxx.
  • Zero Two’s dress is actually a recreation of Strelizia True Apus’ armor, which was put together as a collective effort of the girls of Squad 13. She ends up having a strelitzia pinned in her hair as well as having a bouquet of them.
  • The entire ceremony is a remarkably quick experience, not that Hiro and Zero Two would’ve noticed otherwise since the moment they see each other, they become completely engrossed in each other
  • Hachi officiates the whole thing, while Ai and the reborn Hitotsume are the flower girls
  • By the end of it all, the two of them can barely keep themselves off of each other, so once Hachi gives them the go ahead, Zero Two practically jumps Hiro as she kisses him
  • Another thing is that as soon as they see each other, their horns start faintly glowing, so much so that no one really notices it at first, but they start glowing more and more as time passes, so by the end, their horns are shining with brilliant red and blue light
  • After they kiss, they touch their horns together and are able to feel the overflowing love and dedication they have for each other and start crying tears of joy. They also inadvertently start a new wedding tradition that all future couples follow; after the kiss, the couple always touch their foreheads together.

A certain person who resembles myself, but around 70 years of age and is one of the elder godmothers, accidentally dragged into the wedding reception of Hiro and Zero Two and suddenly asks, “What do you think is your most memorable moment for you two?”

If you were to ask them that, they’d probably both say the moment they met. They were two kids without any purpose of their own, fighting against a world that didn’t care about them. But when they met, they had finally found another person who was fighting just as hard as they were against the world that denied them everything they wanted, and from that day on, they lived for each other.

headcannon: whenever Zero Two is just sitting on the couch, Hiro just comes by and puts his head on hers like he’s a cat, and he does this for no other reason than to get a smile out of her… and he like to act tol.

Zero Two is already a very physically affectionate person, so I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that Klaxo Hiro would be the same. They’re just…very touchy-feely people, which can get a little exhausting for their friends, and then it’s a trait that gets passed down to their children.

“No matter what he does, he can’t file them down to a reasonable length since they grow back almost immediately” that part right there got me thinking, imagine him desperately trying to get them to normal length but no matter how many tools they use it doesn’t work , like for an example goro tries a small power saw to crop hiro’s horns a bit but it breaks?

I was more thinking that they just grow too fast that it isn’t worth even trying to file them, but the idea of Goro vainly trying to use like a belt sander or something to file his horns is stuck in my head, and I can’t stop laughing. 

Dinofam Horn Headcanons

I couldn’t really fit this in either of my other headcanon posts, but have some HiroTwo horn headcanons (thanks to @tachipaws for inspiring and coming up with some of these)

  • When Zero Two is pregnant, her horns grow slower because her body is re-routing nutrients to the baby
  • By the time she has the triplets, she and Hiro are able to use it as a symptom when she doesn’t have to file her horns for awhile
    • When they practically stop growing all together and she’s able to figure out that she’s having triplets
  • On the flip side, Hiro’s horns start growing longer and faster as a part of a innate protective instinct. No matter what he does, he can’t file them down to a reasonable length since they grow back almost immediately
  • Between his height and the length of his horns, he ends up bumping them on door frames…a lot.
    • One time, Zero Two called for him very frantically, and in his rush to get to her, he slammed into the door frame and fell flat on his back
    • (she was fine, she had just bet Ichigo that she could get him to fall over)
  • Horn touching is a really big thing in the family. It’s very similar to the way a family would hug or kiss each other, but in some ways it’s more intimate than that
  • Like in ep 22, touching horns can transfer memories and sensations between them, so touching them let’s the family convey emotions that are too difficult to explain with words
  • Just…this one
  • Hiro and Zero Two have a piece of each other’s horns in their wedding bands, which is a tradition they pass down to their children
  • In addition, when the children reach a certain age, their parents give them a unique piece of jewelry with a piece of their horns set as the centerpiece

Following the alternative ending with dinobabies: my headcanon is that despite the happiness and joy when Zero Two finds out she’s pregnant, she’d be also worried about the fact that the kids are def gonna be half klax like their parents. She wants only the best for them and she’s scared they might be treated / called “monsters” just like she was. But fear not, Hiro is not going to let Zero Two think so and reassures her, with muuuch success

Hiro does an excellent job of reassuring her, but it’s still something that eats at her a little, all the way up until when the twins are born. 

She’s holding her daughter for the first time and she has this powerful instinct to touch their horns together. When she does, the baby can feel the endless love and powerful desire to protect, and Zero Two can feel the baby’s recognition of this.

For the first time in her life, Zero Two feels blessed to have her horns because no one but her and her Darling can experience that kind of connection with their children.
