So very excited to share this! It’s a playlist for my upcoming Free! fic, This Heart of Mine, the rewritten sequel to Eyes Wide Open All the Time.
You can listen to the playlist on YouTube; this list simply helps define who or what a song represents to me. This list also includes some lyrics that you may want to pay special attention to. I recommend reading the lyrics by themselves before listening to the playlist.
Mind you - some of these lyrics only act as symbolism. Some mean more. Some songs have connections. Some don’t. ;) *go girl give us nothing*
List below!
THIS HEART OF MINE: PLAYLIST GUIDE
Theme: Bring Me The Horizon feat. Halsey - In The Dark (MTLT / amo version)
Oh so tall, it broke the fourth wall
Guess our fairytale had a few plot holes
Don’t you know you’ve lost control
↳ Honorable Mentions:
✧ grandson - Bury Me Facedown

Fight for me
✧ Mumford and Sons - Broken Crown

I’ll never wear your broken crown
✧ Lia Marie Johnson - DNA
Dark as midnight
6 Pack Coors Light
You don’t look the same

Eyes like yours
Can’t look away
But you can’t stop DNA

Who carries a mighty sword
He will tear your city down
Oh ley, oh lei, oh lord

I did things to you only lovers would only do in the dark
I made you a god
Priests, popes and preachers would tell me I did wrong

Don’t take that sinner from me

There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
Go to ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love
✦ Sousuke
✧ Angel Haze - Detox
You dance in a cage with some rats in it
I’m about chemistry, you just react to me

I might just taste your last stars tonight
We were gods in a world that did nothing but doubt us
But fuck it, I got us, from the dirt with the flowers
Put in work in the shower

It won’t do you no good

Brother, forgive me
We both know I’m the one to blame
When I touched the water
They told me I could be set free

And we’ll be running, running, running again
✧ SZA - Good Days
Tell me I’m not my fears, my limitations

I gotta keep from losing the rest of me
Chasing a fountain of youth that’s in the present
I’ll await my armored fate with a smile
Still wanna try, I still believe in good days
✧ Lola Blanc - Angry Too
Does it get your blood boiling? Does it make you see red?
Cause it gets my blood boiling
It would eat you like poison if you knew what I knew
I don’t wanna drink the venom they made me
I don’t wanna be controlled by the past
But boy, if you were me
Could you really blame me?
✧ Kendrick Lamar - u
And if this bottle could talk:
I cry myself to sleep, everything is your fault
Because you shook as you knew confinement was needed
I know your secrets
Don’t let me tell them to world
About the shit you thinking
And the time that you -
I’m ‘bout to hurl
I’m fucked up
But I ain’t as fucked up as you
✧ Halsey - More
Wooden floors, little feet
Flower bud, concrete
A little screen, a photograph
Mine to take
I still believe it won’t be like before
I’ve loved you for all of my life

✧ Johnny Hollow - Worse Things
Anger grew like ecstasy
And Leda threw the swan on me
There are worse things, perverse things
You should answer when the phone rings
There are worse things I could do

You have conquered cities
And torched the mighty sea
You may keep yourself afloat

See how the most dangerous thing is love
✧ Florence + The Machine - Cosmic Love
The stars, the moon
They have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
✦ Ikuya
✧ Penelope Scott - Cigarette Ahegao
So like, I guess I call it the sophomore slump
Always crying and always drunk
A few dead, more gone, the rest well on their way
Thanks! I hate it
Everyone that I love is stuck
Because this, that, the other, and the state fucked up
We covered it in a class that I’m about to fail
✧ 100 gecs, Laura Les, Dylan Brady - Money Machine
Tell me what's the deal, I've been trying to go to bed
I've been up for days, I've been trying to get ahead
Said it all before, and I'll say it once again
I'm better off alone
✧ Halsey - Clementine
Through a breakdown or a blackout
Would you make out with me
Cause I don’t need anyone
I just need everyone and then some
✦ Hiyori

I don’t want your crown
See I’ve come to burn your kingdom down

It’s a new life for me

And a bold world for me
Freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
I’m feeling good
✦ Asahi

If I wasn’t broke
Would you spend more time with me
Like you said you’d do
Tell me what I’m supposed to do

Is to be loved by you
✧ Mikky Ekko - Smile
Smile, the worst is yet to come
We’ll be lucky if we ever see the sun
✦ Aki
✧ Aly & AJ - Church
I did bad things, can’t you see it on my face?
I get caught in every lie
I need redemption for sins I can’t mention
For all the things I can’t reverse
For all the places where it hurts
✧ ZZ Ward - Ghost
Here the devil call out my name
I’ve broken promises, burning flame
God knows, darling
God knows I gave
Now the truth cuts like a knife
✦ Nii
✧ Of Mice and Men - My Understandings
Keep in mind that I’m a sore eye
With blurry vision
✧ Neoni - Outlaw
They say that I’m wanted
Hear the whispers in the street
You better start running
Cause nothing scares me
Faster, faster
You’re the one I’m after
You built a fortress
But I’ll never kiss the ring
I’m my own king
✦ Gou
✧ Melanie Martinez - Lunchbox Friends
We can be friends if you wanna be
But only till the clock hits three
I don’t want no lunchbox friends, no
I want someone that binds the ends, no
Come to my house, let’s die together
Friendship that will last forever
✧ Maroon 5 - Come to the Water
Come away little light
Come away to the darkness
Away from the life that you always knew
Come away little lamb
Come away to the water
To the arms that are waiting only for you
✦ Isuzu
✧ Jessie Reyez - NO ONE’S IN THE ROOM
Spent my whole life being graded, being told I’m not enough
Being told go find the one and sit and wait for death to come
I don’t want to
I need to talk to God
There’s things I just don’t understand
Like who am I when no one’s in the room
EMI - Bad Friends
Yeah, I got some bad friends
No you cannot have them

You talk to me, yeah
We don’t fuck around with just anybody, yeah
✦ Takuya
✧ Imagine Dragons - Ready, Aim, Fire
Off in the distance, there is resistance
Bubbling up and festering
Here in the casing
Shaking and pacing
This is the tunnel’s light
Blood in the writing, stuck in the fighting
Look through the rifle’s sight
✧ Billie Eilish - you should see me in a crown (acapella)
Bite my tongue
Bide my time
Wait till the world is mine, ocean eyes
Count my cards
Watch them fall
Blood on a marble wall
You should see me in a crown
I’m gonna run this nothing town
Watch me make ‘em bow
One by one
✦ Kinjou
✧ Urban Country - Knife and Stone
Tell me, have you ever seen a mirror
Mirror in the middle of the forest
Just waiting for the rain or the crown
I’ve been up for thirty days
Someone point to lost and found
Ain’t no blood in the temple
Just a knife and stone
✦ Mikhail
✧ Elsie Lovelock - Friends on the Other Side (Cover)
The cards, the cards
The cards will tell
The past, the present, and the future as well
I got voodoo, I got hoodoo
I got things I ain’t even tried
And I got friends on the other side
I hope you’re satisfied, but if you ain’t
Don’t blame me
You can blame my friends on the other side
✦ Ryuuji
✧ elbow - Grounds for Divorce
I’ve been working on a cocktail
Called Grounds for Divorce
Down comes him on sticks but then he kicks like a horse
There's a hole in my neighborhood
Down which of late I cannot help but fall
✧ Mumford and Sons - The Enemy
I am not the enemy
It isn’t me, the enemy
I came and I was nothing
So why did you choose to lean on
A man you knew was falling?
✦ Nadia
✧ Halsey - Castle (Orchestral Version)
They wanna make me their queen
There’s an old man
Sitting on the throne
Saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut
I’m headed straight for the castle
THEMES: GROUPS
✦ FREEBIRD
✧ Kaleo - Way Down We Go
Oh father, tell me
Do we get what we deserve
They will run you down
Down till you fall
They will run you down
Down till you crawl
Till you can’t crawl no more
And way down we go
✦ ROUGH RABBIT
✧ Imagine Dragons - Who We Are
Up on the mountain
Down in the king's den
It's who we are
Doesn't matter if we've gone too far
Doesn't matter if it's not okay
Doesn't matter if it's not our day
✦ DIAMONDBACK
✧ Florence + The Machine - Bedroom Hymns
This is good a place to fall as any
We’ll build our alter here
In the wine, the women, the bedroom hymns
Such selfish prayers, I can’t get enough
I’m not here looking for absolution
Because I’ve found myself an old solution
✦ HONEYBLADE
✧ Megan Thee Stallion and Normani - Diamonds

My pear-shape all dripped up
He want me to be a little more lady-like?
Come through with my girls and beat your ass on ladies night

Gonna take the throne

I don’t need them anymore
I’ve come home

Seasons came and changed the times

He would always laugh and say:
“Remember how we used to play?
Bang, bang.”

But I know you’re mine (bang)
I know you’re mine (bang, bang)

Your little brother never tells you

I hope you make it to the day you’re 28 years old
✦ Hiyori + Ikuya
✧ Elvis Drew - Where Are You
I been trying to figure out where you from
Is it the moon? Is it earth?
Is it this place, where nothing is worse?
Nothing can compare to the life we had
My dear just grab my hand and let me take you
To my wonderland
✧ Swae Lee - Sunflower
Some things you just can’t refuse
I’m not tryna lose
✦ Isuzu + Gou

warnings: cursing
Links: part 1, part 3
Masterlist to my other fics: here :)
The night was now settled and you were locked in your room. Papers and folders all spread out on your desk and bed. If you were to venture into this case, you would have to know the details you had missed out on.
By now, your butt was aching and so did your back. Glancing at the other piles of folders, you counted how many cases you were working on at the same time. If there was one thing the chief loved to give you, it was more work than you could finish.
As of the moment, you were in charge of 9 other cases. Some related to large scale companies and others identity frauds. Though the cases were now generic for the 6 years you’d been working with the force, it was and will always be draining.
This mission with Overhaul felt like a breath of fresh air. The risks presented here were much higher compared to normal but you were more than prepared, at least you hoped you were. Truth be told, this wouldn’t be the first time you teamed up with a villain. That was your secret as to why you moved up so fast. Every now and then, you would propose a compromisation and in turn they would help you catch your target. You did, however, avoid this as much as possible.
Ruffling your hair, you gathered the mess and prepared for Gei’s arrival.
When he did arrive, the solemnity of your apartment faded. And you did not mind one bit.
“BABY GIRL!” He twirled his neon pink purse in the air as he entered himself into your apartment. His other hand carried the necessities for the night. “Okay. I got the food and the booze. I also bought my silk pajamas we use for occasions like this.”
“Mine are ready. Don’t worry.” You giggled at the sight of a toned man unloading the contents of the bag with a pinky up. “I also prepared the movies we could watch for tonight. AND, I already informed Nao to not call me for the rest of the night.”
“Okay, alright, mhmm. Imma go change into my silkies and you do you.” He said as he trotted towards the guest room. When the door closed, you began to prepare the dinner you had planned for the both of you.
Gei was never a picky eater but it was always a challenge to make sure he was well fed. Compared to you, his eating habits were much more constant. Healthier even since he usually counted his calories because he wanted to keep his waist ‘snatched’. He had told you beforehand that he was in the mood for some chicken. Luckily, you had the ingredients for grilled bruschetta chicken.
Prepping everything, you began to heat your tiny grill and sliced the tomatoes and garlic. The sound of the chopping eventually replaced with the speakers blasting Todrick Hall. Shaking your head with amusement, you went about with the preparations while your friend arranged the sofa.
Not long after, dinner was now ready and both of you were now seated at the dining table. Chatting about whatever came to your heads. A few gossips of heroes here and there but mostly about your work and his. Sip by sip, the wine bottle slowly emptied. Gei always knew the best wines out there. You would always praise him and he would merely pout his lips and wiggle his brows.
Stomachs full, Gei demanded he do the dishes while you wait for him at the sofa. It had been quite some time since you took the time off. Stretching your joints, you gathered your hair into a messy bun and dusted off imaginary dust on your silk pajamas. Taking some bowls from underneath the coffee table, you filled them up with chips and placed the wine inside the chiller. When everything seemed ready, you flopped back onto the sofa and turned the TV on.
A knock on your door caused you to jump a bit. Looking at the clock, it was now 9pm. Grabbing your phone, there were no messages or missed calls. You also didn’t recall ordering anything this week. Walking towards the door, you took a look at Gei who was finishing up the last of the plates.
Looking through the peephole, you let out a rather loud gasp.
“Oh fuck no.” You took a step backward and ran towards the kitchen. Grabbing Gei by his wrist, you pulled him out of his trance and dragged him to the living room. Practically throwing him to the sofa, he stared at you with wide eyes.
“Boo, I know your as virgin as the spinster next door but I am a gay man and I do not intend on taking you tonight.” He commented.
“He’s here.”
Another knock filled the room. It was still soft but a bit louder than before.
“Girl?! Did you call in Magic Mike?!” He began to bounce up and down while fanning himself.
“More like Germaphobe Gus.” You motioned for him to stay on the couch and remain quiet. Walking towards the door once more, you slowly opened it only to be met with the bird mask again. The green jacket and purple fur did not compliment his eyes. “What can I do, Overhaul? You could’ve dropped me a message you know.”
“I have something to discuss with you.” His eyes travelled behind you and back at you. “May I come in? Or do I have to usher myself?”
Stuttering a response, you grunted and moved to the side. The towering man slowly made his way in. Taking in the rather luxurious decorating your small hallway had to offer. Waiting for you to take the lead, you led him to the living room. When your eyes met with Gei, you signalled him to head on to the guest room.
Understanding what you meant, Gei took his wine glass and cat walked to his room. He stopped in his tracks when he saw the tall man behind you. Making a gesture with his hand, he threw his imaginary wig and winked at you. He was no idiot, though. He knew who it was. For precautions, he left his door 3 inches open.
“That’s why you should’ve told me, Overhaul.” You gestured for him to sit down. When you saw his eye twitching at the spot you pointed to, you let out a sigh and reached for the fur patch behind you. Putting it on the spot, you watched as he stared at the tan material. “That has been newly laundered so I guarantee it’s clean. Now either you develop varicose veins or sit down. I could care less.”
He finally took a seat. This was a rare sight, you had to admit. Overhaul, a class-B villain, sitting on a fur rug while staring at a bottle of wine.
“So what do you have?”
“The boss of the Fukuo Kai will be attending a gala in 3 days time.”
“And you got that how?” You raised a brow and tilted your head.
“None of your business.” He leaned on the sofa and his eyes began to wander every inch your place had to offer. “I’ll have Mimic send the invitation when we get a hold of it. You will be informing your partner about this, right?”
“Yeah. I have to.” You nodded and eyed his bird mask again. “Do you always wear that thing?”
“It’s to block the horrid air the world has to offer.” He said in a deadpan voice. You wanted to laugh at his remark but it would probably lead to nothing good. Stifling a giggle, his eyes darted to yours. “Laugh if it pleases you. The world we live in is vile and sick. People have this so-called hero-syndrome to them that makes me want to puke. Tch. To think that quirks come from rats.”
“You do know that’s only a theory, right?” You did not mean to challenge him but he was interesting to talk to, admittedly.
“It’s a theory that disgusts me to the core.” He was about to say something but changed his mind. Instead, he decided to shift the focus to you. “You talk so casually with me. Aren’t you scared? I could send you to oblivion with a single flick of my finger.”
“I guess I’m immune to it?” You answered with a question. “I’ve been with the police force for 6 years now and I’ve had my fair share of villains. You know Kuraim? That dude who thought he could take over Nagoya with his little group?”
“He was annoying. He came into contact with the previous boss and asked for assistance. When he was declined he took out a few of our men.”
“Oh shit, that was your group! I totally forgot about that. But, yeah. He was a nutjob but my team managed to capture him a week after that.”
“Your name wasn’t featured in the news. It was another inspector’s. Why?” His fingers were not linked with each other and his back leaning on the plush throw pillow.
“I’m linked with the Abegawa Tenchu Kai. If my name gets released to the public, those nosy reporters would definitely put two and two together. I prefer to keep it low key though. Less media, the better.”
“I see.” He stood up and bowed. “I must get going. I have disturbed your evening.”
“IT’S FINE BABY BOY!” Gei shouted from the room. Face palming at his remark, you took Overhaul by the end of his jacket. Your index and thumb delicately tugging him towards your door.
His eyes widened when he saw you holding his clothes. But with how clean your apartment was, he brushed it off and let you do things your way. Though, he would have to burn this jacket or dispose of it one way or another. Not noticing you had turned around, his face still had that perplexed yet pissed off look to it.
Realizing that you were invading his personal space, you apologized and let go of the inch of fabric you had held on to.
“You’re surely going to throw that, aren’t you?” You teased. A small smirk forming in the corners of your mouth.
“I just might.” He retorted as he stared with disgust. A thought came to his mind. “Or not.”
Taking his jacket off, you stared at how his broad shoulders moved as he removed the article of clothing. The black dress shirt hugged his toned arms rather well. The pale gray tie around his neck matched his overall appearance pretty well. He had taste, save for the jacket. Unless that jacket had sentimental value so it would make sense why.
Your sight turned black for a second before you were face to face with him. The rather heavy jacket resting on your forearms.
‘Holy hell, his cologne smells divine.’ You cursed yourself for breathing in at the perfect time. Either the wine was hitting you but his scent reminded you of mayoram and geranium. Exotic and expensive.
“Keep it.” You swore he was smirking underneath that mask. “Either that or I overhaul it.”
“For an antisocial person, you sure know how to charm people…” You thought out loud.
“Not really. I’m just putting it to where it belongs.” He opened the door for himself. “The garbage.”
Your jaw dropped and before you could retaliate, he had closed the door. Locking your doors harshly, you went back towards the living room and were met with Gei. One leg resting on the other. The same glass of wine on his hand accompanied with a rather mischievous glint in his gray eyes. Taking a sip, he exaggerated ‘ahh’ after swallowing the beverage.
“You into villains now, booboo?” He teased as he pointed to the same spot Overhaul had sat down on. The way you flopped on the sofa and tossed the jacket on to the arm rest only made him even more curious. “You’re working with Overhaul?”
His tone was serious but you knew he was in full gossip mode. You didn’t mind telling Gei these things though. He knew how to protect himself and your dad also kept tabs on him to make sure he was safe.
“That’s what I wanted to talk about. The mission I’m currently partaking involves that guy you just saw.” You explained. Absentmindedly, you reached for the jacket and began feeling for any sort of recording chips or video cameras. Deeming it safe, you placed it beside you and began to twirl the purple fur. “I get why they're doing this but it just sucks that I have to meddle with the yakuza. It’s none of my business and it puts my job at risk.”
“What does Nao-nao say about all this?”
“He says I’m the only one fit for the job. I’ve caught up on the details they gathered and he makes a point, sadly. My only problem now is the person I have to work with. It’s a miracle in itself I keep my grounds with him.”
“What personality does he have?” He took a sip of his wine and leaned in closer.
“The records I have from a year ago state he’s an antisocial sociopath. I’ve never dealt with a lot of villains who had those. Most of them were just lost or goal driven to a bizarre or lost cause.”
“He was rather smooth when talking to you. He looks clean as well.” He raised an eyebrow and cocked his head. “He’ll surely see you as a challenge, boo.”
“What do you mean?” You reached for your glass and poured it half full.
“If I recall, during your conversation, he asked you if you were intimidated. Scared. The answer you gave him surely bothered him. It would go against his personality if he were the least intrigued by you.” He pointed out.
Gei had a point. If you saw him as an enigma, he probably saw you as a pawn in his game. One way or another, he would surely make a move and try to manipulate you. Though you were aware of the signs of subtle manipulations, Overhaul had a different way of handling things. This meeting with Gei proved right. You needed to move with greater caution.
“BUT!” He snapped. “He looks like a full course meal, am I right? A five Michelin star meal served in only the finest china the world has to offer.”
Speechless at how he had described Overhaul, you shook your head and took a long sip.
“Don’t sip away from me, missy.” He stretched out his leg and poked you with his curled toes. “Don’t think I didn’t see you checkin’ him out. And I bet my plump ass that wasn’t the first time you eyed him…”
“You’re delusional.” You rolled your eyes.
“What does his jacket smell like? He probably wears some expensive ass shit that lasts 24 hours. Those that only have limited stocks to them or costs the rent of this whole unit.” He pushed you a bit with a little more force with his leg. “Don’t lie to me, dollface.”
Hissing at his remark, you slumped your shoulders and folded your legs. Grabbing the throw pillow and using it as a small table.
“Fine. He smells expensive. You’re right.” You broke down and the smug look on his face only told you to expand your answer. “And yes, I may have checked him out when I went to their headquarters to finalize the plan.”
“And what are you going to do with that jacket of his?” He stretched out his hand and you gave it to him. His mouth formed a small ‘o’ at the weight of it. Sniffing it, he let out a humming sound and placed it on his arm rest. Petting the fur as if it were some small animal. “He does smell like a hefty price tag.”
“I’ll probably just store it somewhere. I might need it in the future.”
“True. You will be extra careful now, won’t you?” He was now staring straight into you. Concern showing in his features. Extending a hand to you, you held on to it and he squeezed it. “Let’s say a silent prayer to our savior, Queen Todrick, to keep your virgin ass safe from the man whom we know as Overhaul. Amen~”
Giggling at his antics, you repeated his last words. The rest of the night was spent watching movies and munching on chips. When the time came where it was close to 4am, the lights were now off and both of you were in your respective rooms. The curtains to your window open. Faint hues of yellows, oranges, and reds, filled your room.
Your eyes landed on the top shelf of your closet, his jacket resting peacefully. The strong intoxicating scent still clung to you. Every breath you took, you could smell him on clothes and your shirt. Brushing the incoming fantasies away, you buried your face in your pillow and somehow managed to force yourself to sleep.
Waking up to the scent of bacon and eggs were heavenly. The small headache would surely disappear after a hearty and greasy breakfast early in the morning. Arranging your sheets, you fixed your hair and went to the kitchen.
“Good morning to you.” Gei greeted. His back facing you as he flipped the bacon. “Sleep well?”
“Yeah.” You yawned. “Better than most nights. Thanks for crashing, Gei.”
“Always a pleasure, booboo. I also prepped some egg sandwiches for Nao-nao. You are heading to the precinct right?” He glanced at you over his shoulder. A small smile forming on his lips when he saw your half awake half asleep state. The sun’s rays emphasizing the messy strands on your bed hair.
Another knock echoed through your unit. Groaning as to who it could be, you lazily stood up and walked towards the door. Gei peaking in the corner with a suspicion as to who it was. When you opened the door, you frowned and looked at both sides. There was no one.
A small voice cleared their throat. Looking down, you saw a tiny black creature wearing a bird mask. In his hands was an envelope. He kept his word and really did send an invite.
“The boss sent me out to hand this to you.” He tossed the invitation directly at your face. “Better count yourself lucky he’s following your terms.”
“Send him my thanks.”
“Whatever.” He answered as his small feet took him farther away from your door.
Back in your kitchen, Gei had now set the table and laid out the food. He was scrolling on his phone when you sat across from him. Your fingers busy with the square fancy envelope given to you.
“What’s that?” He asked as he put his phone down and began to place food on each of your plates.
“It’s the invitation to that gala he mentioned last night. He sent out one of his workers to hand over this thing.” Your eyes busy scanning over the program details. Taking a look at the envelope, there was a small card. Dropping it on your palm, you saw how it was an RSVP. Flipping it, a small message with neat penmanship told you to call when you would receive it.
Taking your phone from your pocket, you hit dial on the unknown number that had called you yesterday. Gei was all ears as he chewed on his food.
“I take it you received the invitation?” Overhaul immediately asked when he picked up. “I will let you decide as to who your plus one will be. Feel free to call when you’ve chosen.”
“You’re being awfully cooperative, Overhaul.” You commented.
“I lost at the game and I gave you my word. I trust that you will do your end of the bargain as well. If I recall, you stated that this benefits me more than it does to you. Opportunities like this are rare. Might as well take advantage of it while it’s for the taking.” He answered. “Dress appropriately, (Y/N).”
With that he ended the call. Tossing your phone to your couch, you returned the invitation inside the envelope and began eating.
“So…” Gei nudged your leg from under the table. “Who will be your plus one?”
“I’ll have to talk about this with Tsukauchi first. I don’t fully trust him so we’ll be doing some check ups on the people invited to this gala. But, if it soothes you, I plan on using Overhaul. At least his quirk is useful in case something arises.”
“Yeah. Sure~”
