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.

This is a pretty crazy headcanon even for me, and it’s kind of an AU of my AU, so get ready.

So, back in episode 21 and 22, the possibility was discussed that the Klaxosaur Princess’ soul was inside of Apus along with Zero Two. Anyway, my hc here is that when Hiro and Zero Two come home, inside of Strelizia’s cockpit, they find a little girl (like 5 or something) with silver hair and a single blue horn in the middle of her forehead

This little girl has no memory of who she is, and they realize that the Klaxosaur Princess has been reborn. Naming her Hitotsume, Hiro and Zero Two decide to raise her so that she can live a life without constant fighting.

Hitotsume never fully regains her memory, but she knows that she can trust Hiro and Zero Two with anything. She grows up to be a quiet, but very happy little girl. By the time of the 10 year timeskip, she’s become the unofficial big sister of all the Squad 13 children and is ready to help them with anything.

Hir02 headcanon: Zero Two sleeps like a little kid, all sprawled out and with her limbs sticking out everywhere – but if Hiro is with her she just presses herself to him, burrowing her face into his neck to breathe him in, or holds him with his head tucked under her chin. She’s also a total little spoon, hands down.

Zero Two being sprawled out while sleeping is an adorable image, and her sleeping while clinging to Hiro is even moreso. They start sleeping in the same bed after the battle at the Gran Crevasse, and for awhile, she practically sleeps on top of him because there’s a part of her that’s terrified he’s going to disappear. Even years later, there’s some nights where Hiro wakes up in the middle of the night with her holding his shirt in a death grip and her head tucked as far into his shoulder as possible.

alternate ending when they get back to earth, zero two helps hiro file his horns down a little since he doesn’t want to frighten anyone with how long they are. Hiro is good at cooking, while zero two is great at baking (futoshi taught her and gave her a job at his bakery). Once in a while hiro leaves with goro to explore the land to find useful resources and zero two amd ichigo stay behind and learn to sow and knit from kokoro to make clothes for their future babies.

These are all excellent things and I love them all. Anything that involves Zero Two interacting with the rest of the Squad is a good thing.

Though I’d like to add that as they get older, their horns grow at a rate that it’s difficult to keep them at a reasonable length, so they just let them grow out.

Hir02 Headcanon: Their reborn selves remember their past from their very first meeting. Not everything at once, not even close – but they do feel a profound sense of lost and found, of reconnection, and their parents find them hugging each other and bawling their eyes out. Not because they’re hurt or sad, as they finally explain between sobs and sniffles. Because they’re so happy.

Same tho. Before they meet, they both feel that…something is missing but they don’t know what it is. But when they do meet, they just know that the other person is what they were missing. They can’t explain it and they don’t fully understand it either, but they know everything is going to be alright from then on because that empty part of themselves is filled now.
