"She's the tear in my heart, I'm alive"

Tear in my heart - Twentyønepiløts

[Modern au]

⚠️  This chapter includes explicit language! ⚠️

( I recommend watching/listening to the music above it's a really pretty song (: )

Right now your head was rested on the lap atop your bestfriend Shadow in a field the two of you called your 'little getaway space.' The two of you would always go there if something happened and felt the need to separate yourself from the world for a bit.

This time however, nothing in particular was wrong, you two just wanted the quiet sound but mostly the  secluded area to yourselves.

You sat up; facing him as he scrolled through his phone with his speaker beside him. You and Shadow liked the quiet, but sometimes it was too boring so to solve the problem he'd play some music to lighten the mood.

He scrolled through his phone and played a song.

"Shads, what is this garbage?" Your face scrunched up at the unfamiliar song.

"Classical music" He replied, "Bach"

"I didn't peg you for the nerdy pianist type" You laughed.

"Bach is not nerdy!" Shadow countered.

"Let's get some real music up in here" You took out your phone and connected it to the speaker, picking a the song Tear in my heart by a band called Twentyonepilots.

An-nyŏng-ha-se-yo
Sometimes you gotta bleed to know
That you're alive and have a soul
But it takes someone to come around
To show you how

"What the hell?" He furrowed his eyebrows as you shrugged in response.

The music blasted out the speaker as Shadow groaned. You playfully hit his shoulder earning a whine in response.

"Really? First you hijack my speaker and then you have the audacity to hit me, shocking behavior (y/n)" He scoffed trying to hit you back but miserably failing.

She's the tear in my heart
I'm alive
She's the tear in my heart
I'm on fire
She's the tear in my heart
Take me higher
Than I've ever been

"Don't get your panties into a wad princess" You teased, holding out your hand, "May I have this dance?"

He suppressed a laugh, intertwining his fingers with yours.

Shadow spun you around and you couldn't help but think back to when you two first met, a lot changed;

"Honey why don't you try making friends?" Your mother questioned you.

She had taken you to a friend's birthday party and decided you could tag along since there were other kids your age.

"Okay mommy"

The songs on the radio are okay
But my taste in music is your face
And it takes a song to come around
To show you how

Your eyes scanned the room for another person to talk to, until your eyes landed on a black and red hedgehog.

You waltzed over to the boy and tapped his shoulder, "Hello, I'm (Y/n) my mommy said to make some fri-"

"I don't talk to girls, get the fuck out of my face"  He replied bluntly.

Tears formed in your eyes, despite being only 6 you understood every word the boy said to you. You didn't know why but it really hurt when this particular hedgehog turned you down so rudely.

Shadow exhaled feeling some what bad. He didn't know why but it hurt him to see this girl cry.

She's the tear in my heart
I'm alive
She's the tear in my heart
I'm on fire
She's the tear in my heart
Take me higher
Than I've ever been
Than I've ever been
Than I've ever been
Than I've ever been

"Hey, m' sorry. Let's start over" he said, "I'm Shadow"

"I'm (Y/N)" You sniffled trying to regulate your breathing, "Could you maybe be my friend?"

"Sure" he sighed.

You pulled him into a hug and nuzzled your head in the crook of his neck.

He blushed hugging you back.

"You know Shadow, I think we're gonna be great friends!" 

The young hedgehog didn't know it yet but he would actually enjoy hanging out with the girl. Even when he made the stupid decision of ditching her for new friends, he realized what a stupid mistake he'd made and ran back to her, simply because he just missed her.

He wouldn't even know he'd spend countless nights without sleep just thinking of her and only her. She was all that was in his head, and he didn't mind it one bit.

You fell asleep in my car I drove the whole time
But that's okay I'll just avoid the holes so you sleep fine
I'm driving here I sit
Cursing my government
For not using my taxes to fill holes with more cement
You fell asleep in my car I drove the whole time
But that's okay I'll just avoid the holes so you sleep fine
I'm driving here I sit
Cursing my government
For not using my taxes to fill holes with more cement
Sometimes you gotta bleed to know, oh, oh
That you're alive and have a soul, oh, oh
But it takes someone to come around
To show you how

Everything about her was just so intoxicating.

The way she laughed.

The way her face was adorably scrunched up when she was confused or didn't like something.

Hell, even the way she spoke was enough to send him on cloud nine.

She's the tear in my heart
I'm alive
She's the tear in my heart
I'm on fire
She's the tear in my heart
Take me higher
Than I've ever been

From that day on since the party they spent every second together. Where ever she went he wasn't far to follow.

But Shadow couldn't help but think;

Were best friends suppose to feel this way about each other?

My heart is my armor
She's the tear in my heart
She's a carver
She's a butcher with a smile
Cut me farther
Than I've ever been
Than I've ever been
Than I've ever been
Than I've ever been

My heart is my armor
She's the tear in my heart
She's a carver
She's a butcher with a smile
Cut me farther
Than I've ever been

She truly was the tear in his heart.
