The New Girl {Darling In the Franxx}

Chapter 13: Sunset

Third Person's POV

A week passed and all seemed well. Miku and Zorome were friends again and seemed closer now. They had, in Miku's words, an unspoken thing. Miku still talked to Alpha for Zorome's annoyance but at least they were friends again.

Ichigo would avoid encounter Goro when she was alone. His question was always in her mind and she honestly didn't know what to say at her blond friend. She didn't want things to get awkward between them.

Futoshi would often meet Hara at the kitchen, teaching her how to cook. She was so bad that he couldn't help but laugh when she asked something that was general knowledge. Hana would pout and he always thought how cute she was. Now, his feelings for Kokoro seemed to be a distant memory.

Ikuno and Naomi would meet many times too. They had many things in common and soon, Naomi was included in Ikuno's group.

Kokoro and Mitsuru were as they always were. But Kokoro couldn't help but think that something was different.

The only one who was angry was a certain pink haired girl. She was angry at herself.

Ever since she told Hiro that she wasn't ready for their first kiss, he had respected that wish with his life.

They went on dates, laughed and talked together and Zero Two couldn't help but wanting him to give the first step. But whenever she thought that, the memory of her talking to Hiro would appear and everything in her head would go almost wild with her request.

She had her reasons, of course.

But there were days where the two of them were talking and she wouldn't listen to a single word of what he was saying. Her gaze was just in his lips, seeing how they parted and joined when he was talking.

Damn it, she wanted to kiss him!

And Hiro was so respectful that meant that she would to give the first step.

So, at Thursday, she went to talk with him after classes. She was decided; she was going to take that step!

"Hi, Zero Two." He greeted.

She smiled and held his hand. Hiro looked surprised at their holding hands. He thought that she wouldn't want that.

"Hi, Hiro. Are you busy right now?"

"No, why?"

Zero Two smirks. "I want to show you something!"

Hiro looks half-curious, half-scared at her. With Zero Two, he never knew what expect. He slowly nods.

"Great!" And so, he followed Zero Two, still looking at their hands. He felt his face a bit hot.

They climbed up the stairs and she left in a certain floor.

"Zero Two?" Hiro called and Zero Two took a glance at him. "We are in the boy's floor."

She turns around and quickly approaches to his face, leaving little distance between them.

"I think that rule doesn't apply to us." She winked and continued her walk to the end of the hallway. Hiro stayed silent.

She opened the window and with an agility that surprised Hiro, she passed to the other side. Zero Two gestured to the boy to pass too.

"Zero Two, where are we going?" Hiro asked a bit afraid.

"Come on, you won't regret. Don't you trust me?" She softly asked as she extended her hand to him.
