playlists and soulmates - Osamu Miya (Soulmate AU)

verbatim

I wear woman's underwear~

They were at it again. Osamu was never a big fan of this whole soulmate thing. He found it stupid, in all honesty. The universe just randomly picks the perfect match for you, who you're supposed to spend the rest of your life with but then you have to actually find them as well.

What defines a straight man straight?~

Sighing, Osamu spiked another volleyball sent to him by his twin, almost missing due to the distracting song playing on loop in his head. It's been 3 days since this song has been stuck in his soulmates head and it was getting exhausting.

He could hear his twin shout at him from the side, but Osamu couldn't pay attention any longer. He could feel the sudden headache form. Putting his right hand to his forehead, he used the fingers to massage his temples as he informed his brother that he'll take a break.

Atsumu immediately shut up as he saw his twin's (not so obvious) pained expression. Osamu has lived with the constant headaches his soulmate connection caused all their life. He pitied him a bit. Keyword, a bit. Atsumu was a bit envious of his twin actually. His soulmate had a great music taste, unlike Atsumu's who's been listening to Despacito for months now.

Osamu sat down on the bleachers, Mother Mother still blasting on full volume in his head. Don't get him wrong, he learned to like the band, he enjoyed a lot of their songs it's just his soulmate.

They gave a whole new meaning to the word "vibing".

It seemed like his soulmate had a song stuck in their head 24/7. Like they had nothing else to think about. No school, no hobbies, heck, not even work.

'Now that I think about it, listening to music might be their hobby...'

Suddenly, the music in his head stopped and he sighed out in relief. The headache instantly gone away and he felt like a weight was lifted of his shoulders. That is until he zoned back into the real world and was suddenly greeted with the yelling of multiple fangirls. He could feel a new wave of headache coming.

'not again'

Middle school for Abila was a roller coaster. It consisted of her fangirling over the Miya twins, making playlists and disappointing her parents. She didn't even have to try with that last, her music taste did it all for her.

Her obsession with the Miya twins came as a surprise. She never simped after anyone prior to middle school, especially not real human beings. She just saw them, saw how the girls in her class reacted and jumped on a trend that she now regrets.

Maybe if she wasn't such an anxious kid back then, she would have actually had a chance to get closer to Atsumu.

Yes, she was one of those girls who's favorite twin was Atsumu, but only because he seemed so out of her comfort zone. He was the exact opposite of what she was and that somehow made him look more attractive in her eyes on the surface level.

Of course, in high school this all changed when she realized how dumb and low-key obsessive this fangirl behavior was. She got her shit together by the end of middle school and in the first year of high school is when things changed for the better...

Not.

Yeah, she wasn't an obsessive fangirl anymore and was no longer madly in love with Atsumu Miya, but her hobby of making playlists stayed and she still continued disappointing her parents. With Atsumu out of life (more like head), she had to get over a new obstacle, that being Osamu Miya.

She blamed it on the school for putting her in the same class as him. Abila had a perfect view of him from the back row, she could see all the little things he did, all his quirky little habits and flaws and she started simping hard.

While Atsumu was not really her type and really only liked him because every other girl liked him, with Osamu she actually took her time to see him for him before decided that it's this man she wants to have a crush on.

She kept it very low-key though. Unlike her previous obsessive behavior in middle school, she learned that there was no point acting like the poor boy was just an object. Abila knew that the boy had feelings too, so she settled on just watching him from far away.

Of course she couldn't just have her feelings bottled up 24/7, she needed to let them out somehow. Enter Venus, her crackhead online friend.

The two met through a game in her second year of middle school and it was Venus who introduced Abila to the art of playlist making. Venus had enough of listening to the young lovestruck girl constantly whine about 'the love of her life' and suggested making a playlist of all the songs that describe her feelings towards the boys.

So Abila made her first playlist with the help of Venus, and it sucked, but it was a start.

Fast forward 2 years, Abila is sitting in the school library at the very back, hidden by the bookcases, her laptop sitting on her lap, earphones connected to it. Her head was bopping along to 'Body' by Mother Mother as she scrolled through her liked songs on spotify to add them to a new playlist.

"I don't exactly think 'Oh Ana' is a rebel song." The voice of Venus interrupted Abila. The two were on a discord call, talking about music and games while club activities were still going on. Abila was skipping hers because she was too lazy to go swimming today.

The girl hummed before her eyes made contact with a very specific song that has been playing in her head on repeat for the past 3 days. "Yeah, now that you mention it." Sighing, Abila went back to the playlist and removed the said song. "I've had 'Verbatim' stuck in my head for days, I can't even concentrate and listen to other songs because of it."

Venus laughed out loud through the call. "I live by a hospital~" she sung in a teasing manner.

Abila groaned and slapped her forehead in what looked like genuine pain. "Don't even sing it. I'm so sick of it. All I can hear whenever I zone out is 'I wear women's underwear' and I'm this close to hating that song for life." She brought her thumb and pointer finger together. Although Venus couldn't see it, she chuckled, knowing exactly what the other was doing.

"How about you just listen to the song? Maybe that will get it out of your head."

Abila sighed. Should she risk it?

The mouse hovered over 'Verbatim' for a second or two before the girl clicked the play button.

"Fuck it."
