HiroIchi

HiroIchi is the het ship between Hiro and Ichigo from the DARLING in the FRANXX fandom.

Canon
Hiro and Ichigo have known each other since they were small children living in the Garden. They first met when Ichigo was crying because the other children were emotionless and Ichigo found it scary that she was different than them and wondered if she should get more injections to be like them. Hiro noticed she was crying and approached her. He reminded her that they both have double digit code names and were different to begin with but Ichigo said she didn’t want to be different. He sat next to her and offered to give her a name, as he gave himself one. He chose the name Ichigo for her, as it was the first thing he thought of when he thought about her number. He explained having a name made it feel like it was alright to be different and she can be her own person. She blushed and was amazed, and she asked him to give names to the other children, which he did.
