The events are set after the end of episode 13 when Hiro finally remembers 02 and zero two shocked by Hiro's sudden revelation of who he was and in which he was the darling that zero two was in love with when she was young.
Hiro has been out for 5 days already and is still on the hospital bed lying unconscious. Everyone from squad 13 was worried for Hiro, Everyone often goes and checks up on him, But there is one person who is truly very worried for Hiro, His partner. After the incident, the night Hiro got admitted in the hospital Zero Two slept on the floor outside Hiro's room. Then after, each day she stays by his side for hours or the entire day, waiting and hoping for him to awaken. She always sits there on his side, nibbling on her fingers leaving bruises all over them. Every time the others who drops or passes by always sees Zero Two n the hospital room. They understood that she is very worried, based on her actions which also got them worried about her, they suspected her at first for being responsible for what happened to Hiro but it didn't matter anymore after seeing her torture and blame herself for what happened to her partner, she now remains silent and behaved around them. It's the 5th day already and Hiro is still on the hospital bed, the squad didn't come by anymore and just waited to hear if Hiro will return, Zero Two on the other hand after eating her meals still hopefully remained beside her darling waiting for him to wake up from his slumber.
She was still very desperate to talk to Hiro but at the same time afraid, after all that she did to him. Eventually she began talking to herself. "Are you mad at me darling, is that why you are not waking up?"
Tears began to flow from Zero two's eyes. "It is all my fault you are here. But I didn't mean to hurt you, and Especially you my darling. Why did this have to happen? Is this punishment for me? I didn't know it was you."
Moments later an adult caretaker arrived at Hiro's room to check the patient's condition, the adult just came to see the vitals and the monitors before noticing Zero Two who was silently sitting on the corner of the room. " You've been staying here long, your partner will be alright, you need to get some rest it's already late."
"I will only leave when I want to leave." Zero Two passively replied.
The care taker didn't even bother reply and proceeds to leave the room silently.
Zero Two just stared at Hiro who looked very peaceful; she let out a slight yawn and realized she was already sleepy and tired. She still wants to remain beside Hiro, she thought for a moment "I can't sleep on the floor again." She briefly stared at Hiro's bedside, then she got an idea to just sleep on the bed beside her darling. She striped off her uniform since she can't change to her night gown which was back at the dormitories. She pulled up the sheets wearing only her bra and panties and snuggled up into Hiro's body while he was still unconscious. She placed her arm around his abdomen, her leg over his hips and rested her head on the left side his chest hearing the steady heartbeats of her darling. She pressed her body tightly against him, feeling the warmth of both of their bodies.
Why hadn't she have thought of this earlier. She thought to herself as she began to be enveloped by her darling's scent, she then slowly closed her eyes. She immediately fell into a deep and peaceful sleep.
Hours later after midnight Hiro woke up in cold sweat. He felt a minor headache and his body was very heavy, but then he felt a warm feeling on his side, he peeked under the blanket and started to blush really hard.
