Reblogging rather than editing this post because I don’t want to lose the “Midnights” addition but let’s now include the “Speak Now” Vault songs!

Kicking off with “Electric Touch” (feat. Fall Out Boy)

10/10 oh my lord, this is their song now, okay? There is no arguments, it belongs to them and how could it not with a title like that?

“I've got my money on things goin' badly Got a history of stories ending sadly Still hoping that the fire won't burn me Just one time, just one time”

“All I know is this could either break my heart or bring it back to life Got a feelin' your electric touch could fill this ghost town up with life And I want you now, wanna need you forever In the heat of your electric touch, mmm“

“I've been left in the rain lost and pining I'm tryin' hard not to look like I'm trying 'Cause every time I tried hard for love, it fell apart (Woah) I've gotten used to no one callin' my phone I've grown accustomed to sleepin' alone Still, I know that all it takes is to get it right Just one time, just one time“

“I was thinking just one time (Just one time) Maybe the stars align (Just one time) And maybe I call you mine And you won't need space Or string me along while you decide And just one time (Just one time) Maybe the moment's right (The moment's right) It's 8:05 and I see two headlights“

“I Can See You”

9/10 for the sexual tension alone, I mean, come on.

“And I spend my time tryin' not to feel it“

“But what would you do if I went to touch you now? What would you do if they never found us out?“

“’Cause I can see you waitin' down the hall from me And I could see you up against the wall with me And what would you do? Baby, if you only knew That I can see you“

“But something's changed, it's somethin' I, I like They keep watchful eyes on us So it's best that we move fast and keep quiet You won't believe half the things I see inside my head Wait 'til you see half the things that haven’t happened yet“

“Then we kiss and you know I won’t ever tell, yeah And I could see you being my addiction You can see me as a secret mission Hide away and I will start behaving myself“

“Castles Crumbling” (Feat. Hayley Williams)

Okay, so this is more of a Damon-centric song but it can still have Denzo vibes so I’m giving it a 7/10 if you think of it in that way. (Oh, but that single line on its own is definitely an Enzo thing as well as a Damon thing.)

“And I feel like my castle's crumbling down And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground And you don't want to know me, I will just let you down You don't wanna know me now“

“I held that grudge 'til it tore me apart“

“Power went to my head and I couldn't stop Ones I loved tried to help, so I ran them off And here I sit alone behind walls of regret Falling down like promises that I never kept“

“People look at me like I'm a monster Now they're screamin' at the palace's front gates Used to chant my name Now they're screaming that they hate me Never wanted you to hate me“

“Foolish One”

7/10 This is Enzo’s song specifically now.

“You give me just enough attention to keep my hopes too high Wishful thoughts forget to mention when something's really not right And I will block out these voices of reason in my head“

“You know how to keep me waitin' I know how to act like I'm fine Don't know what to call this situation But I know I can't call you mine And it's delicate, but I will do my best to seem bulletproof 'Cause when my head is on your shoulder It starts thinkin' you'll come around And maybe, someday, when we're older This is something we'll laugh about“

“Now I'm slidin' down the wall with my head in my hands Sayin', "How could I not see the signs?" Oh, you haven't written me or called But goodbye screamin' in the silence And the voices in my head are tellin' me why 'Cause you got her on your arm and me in the wings I'll get your longing glances, but she'll get your ring And you will say you had the best of intentions And maybe I will finally learn my lesson“

“Timeless”

*HIGH-PITCHED SCREAMING* This is another 10/10 EVEN though I did take a slight liberty with the second verse because it just fits so well into my Denzo WWII AU and I love that. But this song is still perfect for them in almost every other line.

“And, somehow, I know that you and I would've found each other In another life, you still would've turned my head even if wе'd met“

“On a crowded street in 1944 And you werе headed off to fight in the war You still would've been mine We would have been timeless“

“'Cause I believe that we were supposed to find this So, even in a different life, you still would've been mine We would've been timeless“

“And the date on the back said 1958 Which brought me back to the first time I saw you“

“That's when I came upon a book covered in cobwebs Story of a romance torn apart by fate Hundreds of years ago, they fell in love, like we did And I'd die for you in the same way if I first saw your face“

“It was like an age-old classic The first time that you saw me The story started when you said, "Hello"”

“We're gonna be timeless, timeless You still would've been mine We would've been Even if we'd met on a crowded street in 1944 You still would've been mine We would've been“

And that once again concludes our new batch of songs! All surprisingly fitting for them, though it shouldn’t be as we’ve evidently already established that Denzo and Taylor Swift songs just go hand in hand. Now I am off to listen to “I Can See You” on repeat!

oh my god tolerate it by taylor for denzo!

Enzo getting out of the cell but still not over Damon while Damon has a whole life without him now

"While you were out building other worlds, where was I?"

But Damon cared about him so much in 50s? what happened?

"Where's that man who'd throw blankets over my barbed wire?"

but Enzo obviously cares about him as much even now while Damon cares about Elena more

"I made you my temple, my mural, my sky

Now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life

Drawing hearts in the byline

Always taking up too much space or time"

don’t even get me started on whole “what if i took this dagger in me and removed it” because enzo quite literally killed himself to get damon to care

YOU'RE RIGHT!! YOU'RE SO RIGHT!!

The lyrics fit a little too well but honestly, that's the case for a lot of Taylor Swift songs and Denzo. They just go hand in hand, really. I will prepare you, I did just sit for roughly 6 hours going through every single Taylor Swift song and working out which specific lyrics fit Damon and Enzo, so this is a rather lengthy answer to... a question that you didn't even really ask, to be honest. But I hope that you get some enjoyment out of this anyway!

From her first album, we have "Tim McGraw" but only these lyrics below because imagine Damon and Enzo on their murder spree, so it gets a rating of about 2/10 for Denzo vibes

"On backroads at night And I was right there beside him all summer long And then the time we woke up to find that summer gone"

Coming in with some heavier Denzo vibes, we have "Pictures to Burn" which is already off to a good start considering it has burn in the title

"State the obvious, I didn't get my perfect fantasy I realize you love yourself more than you could ever love me So go and tell your friends that I'm obsessive and crazy"

"There's no time for tears I'm just sitting here planning my revenge"

Tell me that doesn't sound like Enzo. 3/10 because those lines are perfect but none of the other lines really fit.

"I'm Only Me When I'm With You" gets a solid 8/10 because nearly the entire song is just written for Damon and Enzo

"Sometimes we don't say a thing Just listen to the crickets sing Everything I need is right here by my side

And I know everything about you I don't wanna live without you

I'm only up when you're not down Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground It's like no matter what I do Well, you drive me crazy half the time The other half I'm only trying To let you know that what I feel is true And I'm only me when I'm with you"

"Living in the crazy world Trying to figure out what is and isn't true And I don't try to hide my tears My secrets or my deepest fears Through it all nobody gets me like you do

And you know everything about me You say that you can't live without me"

"When I'm with anybody else It's so hard to be myself And only you can tell"

And on a similiar note of songs just being written for them, "Invisible" is another great example, scoring at a beautiful 7/10 for angsty Enzo point of view and his jealousy of Damon and Elena, ESPECIALLY if his own feelings are unrequited

"There's a fire inside of you That can't help but shine through She's never gonna see the light No matter what you do And all I think about is how to make you think of me And everything that we could be"

"And I just wanna show you She don't even know you She's never gonna love you like I want to"

"A Perfectly Good Heart" also has a similarly angsty feel to it, focusing on the fire of Augustine and scoring it a 5/10

"Maybe I should've seen the signs, should've read the writing on the wall And realized by the distance in your eyes that I would be the one to fall No matter what you say I still can't believe That you would walk away It don't make sense to me but"

ONTO ALBUM 2. FEARLESS.

Only about one verse from "Fearless" fits the Denzo narrative so we're gonna give it a 2/10 because while the verse is good if you imagine it during their murder spree, it takes a bit more imagination than canon

"So baby drive slow 'Til we run out of road in this one horse town I wanna stay right here in this passenger seat You put your eyes on me In this moment now capture it, remember it"

"Love Story" scores a good 5/10 with the focus on them going on their murder spree together (but also the lyrics can fit well with Damon's call to Enzo telling him he'll go to Cape Horn with him)

"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes" Romeo, save me, they're tryna tell me how to feel This love is difficult, but it's real Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes""

"I got tired of waiting Wonderin' if you were ever comin' around My faith in you was fading When I met you on the outskirts of town"

"White Horse" again doesn't have much of a denzo vibe unless you're looking at the chorus with angsty unrequited lenses so let's go with maybe a 4/10 or a 5/10

"As I paced back and forth all this time 'Cause I honestly believed in you Holdin' on, the days drag on"

"Maybe I was naive, got lost in your eyes And never really had a chance My mistake, I didn't know to be in love You had to fight to have the upper hand I had so many dreams about you and me Happy endings, now I know

I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet Lead her up the stairwell This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town I was a dreamer before you went and let me down Now it's too late for you and your white horse To come around"

Let's be honest, "You Belong With Me" is kind of hilarious to imagine as a Denzo song but at the same time, part of the chorus does work again for an angsty, jealous Enzo! Gonna give it a 2/10

"If you could see that I'm the one Who understands you" "So, why can't you see? You belong with me"

"Breathe" is like... THEIR song okay. But specifically from Damon's point of view after leaving Enzo in Augustine and then proceeding to spend 50 years with no humanity because he left him. 9/10

"I see your face in my mind as I drive away, 'Cause none of us thought it was gonna end that way" "It's the kinda ending you don't really wanna see 'Cause it's tragedy and it'll only bring you down, Now I don't know what to be without you around"

"And we know it's never simple, Never easy Never a clean break, no one here to save me You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand,

And I can't, Breathe, Without you, But I have to, Breathe, Without you, But I have to"

"Never wanted this, never wanna see you hurt" "It's two am Feelin' like I just lost a friend Hope you know it's not easy, Easy for me"

"Tell Me Why" feels like Damon thinking that Enzo thought it was easy for him to just walk away and leave him in Augustine and that it didn't hurt him, but it did, and then Enzo feels like Damon doesn't want him around once he comes back. 6/10

"I took a chance, I took a shot And you might think I'm bulletproof but I'm not You took a swing, I took it hard And down here from the ground, I see who you are" "I'm feeling like I don't know you You tell me that you love me, then you cut me down And I need you like a heartbeat" "I'm sick and tired of your reasons I got no one to believe in You tell me that you want me, then push me around And I need you like a heartbeat"

"You're Not Sorry" is again an angsty Enzo song. Actually, most of these are, aren't they? Scratch what I said about all Taylor Swift songs being written for Denzo, they're written for ENZO. 7/10

"And all you do is let me down And it's taking me this long Baby but I figured you out And you're thinking we'll be fine again But not this time around" "And you can tell me that you're sorry But I don't believe you baby" "Could've loved you all my life If you hadn't left me waiting in the cold"

"The Way I Loved You" honestly has more Bamon vibes with Enzo being the charming other man, but the chorus also works for Denzo. 5/10

"But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain And it's 2 a.m. and I'm cursing your name So in love that you act insane And that's the way I loved you Breaking down and coming undone It's a roller coaster kind of rush And I never knew I could feel that much And that's the way I loved you" "And you were wild and crazy Just so frustrating, intoxicating, complicated Got away by some mistake and now"

"Forever & Always" I'd give about a 4/10 because these particular lyrics make me feel some denzo things

"'Cause one second it was perfect, now you're halfway out the door"

"Was I out of line? Did I say something way too honest, made you run and hide Like a scared little boy I looked into your eyes Thought I knew you for a minute, now I'm not so sure

So here's to everything coming down to nothing Here's to silence, that cuts me to the core Where is this going? Thought I knew for a minute, but I don't anymore"

"Change" as an Augustine Denzso song specifically is... so interesting. 6/10

"So we've been outnumbered Raided and now cornered It's hard to fight when the fight ain't fair We're getting stronger now" "But we're faster and never scared You can walk away, say we don't need this But there's something in your eyes Says we can beat this" "Can you feel it now? These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down It's a revolution, the time will come For us to finally win

Tonight we'll stand, get off our knees Fight for what we've worked for all these years And the battle was long, it's the fight of our lives But we'll stand up champions tonight"

"Jump Then Fall" starts off with an Augustine Denzo vibe, and the verse I've included feels sort of like Damon after Enzo came back and he was sticking by him even though Stefan and Elena and literally everyone wanted him to give up on him. 2/10

"Don't be afraid to jump then fall Jump then fall into me Baby, I'm never gonna leave you Say that you wanna be with me too 'Cause I'ma stay through it all So jump then fall

The bottom's gonna drop out from under our feet I'll catch you, I'll catch you When people say things that bring you to your knees I'll catch you"

To be fair, a lot of "Come in With the Rain" feels like Denzo to me but I can really only pinpoint two lines that actually feel like I could explain WHY, and that's because I imagine it as Damon not wanting to remember or talk about Enzo because it would also mean remembering and talking about Augustine. 1/10 but to me it's higher

"I could go back to every laugh But I don't wanna go there anymore"

ALBUM 3. SPEAK NOW.

"Mine" but specifically this one verse because it reminds me of Damon being infected with the ripper virus and telling Enzo to leave, but Enzo refusing and staying with him even at risk to himself. 2/10

"Braced myself for the goodbye, 'Cause that's all I've ever known Then, you took me by surprise You said, "I'll never leave you alone""

"Sparks Fly" from Damon's point of view because yes. 3/10

"And you stood there in front of me just Close enough to touch Close enough to hope you couldn't see What I was thinking of" "My mind forgets to remind me, you're a bad idea" "I'm on my guard for the rest of the world But with you I know its no good"

"Back to December" is also very much THEIR song, from Damon's point of view of course after leaving Enzo in Augustine. 9/10

"Your guard is up and I know why Because the last time you saw me Is still burned in the back of your mind" "So this is me swallowin' my pride Standin' in front of you sayin' I'm sorry for that night" "It turns out freedom ain't nothin' but missin' you Wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine I'd go back to December, turn around and make it alright" "You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye"

"Maybe this is wishful thinkin' Probably mindless dreamin' But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right

I'd go back in time and change it, but I can't"

This one verse in "Mean" from Enzo's point of view, but also a little bit of Damon in that scene where he has his hand in Enzo's chest and they're going for each other's throats and Enzo asks if he ever even thought about him and Damon said no with tears in his eyes. It would be a 2/10 for the whole song but for this verse specifically it's 4/10

"You, with your words like knives And swords and weapons that you use against me You have knocked me off my feet again Got me feeling like I'm nothing You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard Calling me out when I'm wounded"

Huh, "The Story of Us" actually does kind of feel like the story of Denzo in a way. 6/10

"And I'm dying to know Is it killing you like it's killing me? Yeah

I don't know what to say since the twist of fate When it all broke down

And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now" "I'm starting to think one day, I'll tell the story of us How I was losing my mind when I saw you here But you held your pride like you should've held me" "This is looking like a contest Of who can act like they care less But I liked it better when you were on my side The battle's in your hands now But I would lay my armor down If you said you'd rather love than fight"

"Enchanted" BUT it's only this verse and it's the scene where Damon sees Enzo again for the first time at Whitmore. 2/10 (but again, that verse alone is more of a 6/10)

"Your eyes whispered, "Have we met?" 'Cross the room your silhouette Starts to make its way to me The playful conversation starts Counter all your quick remarks Like passing notes in secrecy"

Take these two lines from "Better Than Revenge" out of context and put it in Enzo's point of view of Damon leaving him. 1/10

"I never saw it coming, nor would I have suspected it I underestimated just who I was dealing with"

I think I've done it. I've found the most Denzo Taylor Swift song, and I think it is "Haunted." Think Augustine. Think angst. 9/10 (Maybe even 10/10, to be honest...)

"You and I walk a fragile line I have known it all this time But I never thought I'd live to see it break It's getting dark and it's all too quiet And I can't trust anything now And it's coming over you like it's all a big mistake Oh, I'm holding my breath Won't los you again Something's made your eyes go cold Come on, come on, don't leave me like this I thought I had you figured out Something's gone terribly wrong You're all I wanted Come on, come on, don't leave me like this I thought I had you figured out Can't breathe whenever you're gone Can't turn back now, I'm haunted Stood there and watched you walk away From everything we had But I still mean every word I said to you"

"Last Kiss" is another Augustine song. 4/10

"I still remember the look on your face Lit through the darkness at 1:58 The words that you whispered for just us to know You told me you loved me So why did you go away? Away" "Never imagined we'd end like this Your name, forever the name on my lips"

"Ours" is more of an optimistic one but also similar to how Damon felt when Stefan and everyone were telling him Enzo was bad news and shouldn't be in his life. And I included that last verse because I thought it was funny in the context of Lily. 5/10

"Seems like there's always someone who disapproves They'll judge it like they know about me and you And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do The jury's out, but my choice is you"

"The stakes are high, the water's rough But this love is ours You never know what people have up their sleeves Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me Lurking in the shadows with their lip gloss smiles"

And here we have another Augustine song: "If This Was A Movie"

"Six months gone and I'm still reaching Even though I know you're not there I was playing back a thousand memories, baby Thinking 'bout everything we've been through Maybe I've been going back too much lately When time stood still and I had you Come back, come back, come back to me like You would, you would if this was a movie" "Come back, come back, come back to me like You could, you could if you just said you're sorry I know that we could work it out somehow But if this was a movie you'd be here by now" "If you're out there If you're somewhere If you're moving on I'll be waiting for you Wary, since you've been gone I just want it back the way it was before"

"Superman" because this verse just makes me think of Damon not caring how everyone else feels about Enzo, just that he cares deeply about him and that's all that matter.

"Something in his deep brown eyes has me singing He's not all bad like his reputation And I can't hear one single word they said And you leave, got places to be and I'll be okay I always forget to tell you I love you I loved you from the very first day"

"State of Grace" 6/10

"We are alone with our changing minds We fall in love 'til it hurts or bleeds, or fades in time

And I never (never) Saw you coming And I'll never (never) Be the same" "You come around and the armor falls" "We are alone, just you and me" "So you were never a saint And I've loved in shades of wrong We learn to live with the pain Mosaic broken hearts But this love is brave and wild" "Love is a ruthless game Unless you play it good and right These are the hands of fate You're my Achilles heel"

"Red" is from Damon's point of view and his regret after Augustine. 5/10

"Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly" "Regretting him was like wishing you never found out that love could be that strong" "Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes Tell myself it's time now, gotta let go But moving on from him is impossible When I still see it all in my head In burning red Burning, it was red"

"Treacherous" SCREAMS Damon and Enzo. 9/10

"Put your lips close to mine As long as they don't touch Out of focus, eye to eye 'Til the gravity's too much And I'll do anything you say If you say it with your hands And I'd be smart to walk away But you're quicksand This slope is treacherous This path is reckless This slope is treacherous And I, I, I like it I can't decide if it's a choice Getting swept away I hear the sound of my own voice Asking you to stay" "Two headlights shine through the sleepless night And I will get you, and get you alone"

You would expect "I Knew You Were Trouble" to have more of a denzo vibe, and there are a few lines that it comes through in! 4/10 it gets an extra point for the general vibe being Denzo-like.

"'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in So shame on me now"

"And the saddest fear Comes creepin' in That you never loved me"

"All Too Well" is a painful song in general, but adding a little layer of angst from Enzo's point of view just makes it more painful. 2/10

"And maybe we got lost in translation Maybe I asked for too much But maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up Running scared, I was there I remember it all too well"

"22" fits the vibe of happy, murder husbands Denzo. 2/10

"We're happy, free, confused and lonely in the best way It's miserable and magical, oh yeah Tonight's the night when we forget about the heartbreaks It's time, oh-oh"

"Stay Stay Stay" from Damon's point of view. 3/10

"Before you, I'd only dated self indulgent takers"

"You took the time to memorize me My fears, my hopes and dreams"

"It's been occurring to me I'd like to hang out with you For my whole life"

"The Last Time" because Enzo just wants to know that Damon wants him after Augustine. 3/10

"And right before your eyes I'm breaking No past, no reasons why Just you and me

This is the last time I'm asking you this Put my name at the top of your list This is the last time I'm asking you why You break my heart in the blink of an eye, eye, eye"

"Sad Beautiful Tragic" 2/10 but owie.

"We had a beautiful magic love there What a sad beautiful tragic love affair" "And time Is taking its sweet time erasing you"

"Everything Has Changed" but it's just those two lines as Damon's thoughts upon meeting Enzo for the first time in Augustine. 1/10

"All I know is a simple name And everything has changed"

ALBUM 4. 1989.

"Blank Space" because a little bit crazy and toxic Denzo is one of my favourite flavours. 5/10

"So it's gonna be forever Or it's gonna go down in flames You can tell me when it's over, mm If the high was worth the pain Got a long list of ex-lovers They'll tell you I'm insane" "I get drunk on jealousy But you'll come back each time you leave 'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream"

"Style" for the same reason as above. 3/10

"Could end in burning flames or paradise Fade into view, oh It's been a while since I have even heard from you" "And I should just tell you to leave 'cause I Know exactly where it leads, but I Watch us go 'round and 'round each time"

"Out of the Woods" as a whole, but specifically these lines because OUCH. 6/10

"Remember when we couldn't take the heat? I walked out, I said "I'm setting you free" But the monsters turned out to be just trees When the sun came up you were looking at me"

"All You Had to Do Was Stay" for angsty purposes, once again post-Augustine and from Enzo's point of view. 5/10

"Hey, all you had to do was stay Had me in the palm of your hand Then why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in?"

"I Wish You Would" 5/10 for Enzo angst.

"I wish you would come back"

"I wish you knew that I'd never forget you as long as I'd live"

"We're a crooked love In a straight line down Makes you wanna run and hide"

"Wish you knew that I miss you too much to be mad anymore"

Basically all of "Bad Blood" which makes a lot of sense. 10/10

"'Cause baby, now we got bad blood You know it used to be mad love So take a look what you've done Now we got problems And I don't think we can solve 'em You made a really deep cut" "Did you have to do this? I was thinking that you could be trusted Did you have to ruin What was shining? Now it's all rusted" "Oh, it's so sad to think about the good times You and I" "Now did you think it all through? All these things will catch up to you And time can heal, but this won't So if you come in my way, just don't"

"Wildest Dreams" 8/10 maybe even a 9/10 because, again, this is my favourite flavour of Denzo to daydream about.

"He said, "Let's get out of this town Drive out of the city, away from the crowds" I thought Heaven can't help me now Nothing lasts forever" "He's so tall and handsome as hell He's so bad, but he does it so well I can see the end as it begins" "I said, "No one has to know what we do"" "Nothing lasts forever But this is getting good now" "You'll see me in hindsight Tangled up with you all night Burning it down Someday when you leave me I bet these memories Follow you around"

This part of "How You Get the Girl" just makes me think strongly about both Damon's and Enzo's persistence to stick by the other, no matter what has happened in the past (and even because of the past). 3/10

"And then you say I want you for worse or for better I would wait for ever and ever Broke your heart, I'll put it back together I would wait for ever and ever"

"This Love" has some haunted Damon vibes but from Enzo's point of view. 6/10

"High tide came and brought you in And I could go on and on, on and on, and I will Skies grew darker Currents swept you out again And you were just gone and gone, gone and gone In silent screams In wildest dreams I never dreamed of this This love is good This love is bad This love is alive back from the dead, oh, oh, oh These hands had to let it go free, and This love came back to me"

"I Know Places" satisfies the Murder Husbands side of Denzo fairly well, with them on their murder spree but trying to hide at the same time. 7/10

"Baby, I know places we won't be found and They'll be chasing their tails trying to track us down 'Cause I, I know places we can hide I know places" "Just grab my hand and don't ever drop it My love"

"Wonderland" is kind of perfect for their murder spree actually. Those last two lines also feel kind of Augustine-era because 'Wonderland' could be an interesting metaphor for that. 7/10

"Flashing lights and we Took a wrong turn and we Fell down a rabbit hole You held on tight to me 'Cause nothing's as it seems And spinning out of control" "We found Wonderland You and I got lost in it And we pretended it could last forever" "So we went on our way Too in love to think straight All alone, or so it seemed But there were strangers watching And whispers turned to talking And talking turned to screams" "I reached for you But you were gone" "You search the world for something else To make you feel like what we had And in the end, in Wonderland, we both went mad"

"You Are in Love" AUGUSTINE. And that last one makes me think of the scene where Damon changes his mind about killing Aaron and he and Enzo are just out on the road, and you can see it on both their face. 7/10

"One look, dark room Meant just for you Time moved too fast You play it back" "You can hear it in the silence" "And for once, you let go Of your fears and your ghosts One step, not much But it said enough"

"New Romantics" is a fun Denzo vibe in a kind of twisted way when you think about these lines as Damon leaving Enzo. 5/10

"We're all here The lights and noise are blinding We hang back It's all in the timing It's poker He can't see it in my face But I'm about to play my Ace "We need love But all we want is danger We team up Then switch sides like a record changer The rumors are terrible and cruel But honey, most of them are true" "Please leave me stranded It's so romantic"

ALBUM 5. REPUTATION. (This'll be fun.)

"Ready For It" is SUCH a Denzo song, I mean, COME ON. 8/10

"Knew he was a killer first time that I saw him Wonder how many girls he had loved and left haunted But if he's a ghost, then I can be a phantom Holdin' him for ransom"

"I see nothing better, I keep him forever Like a vendetta-ta"

"But if I'm a thief, then he can join the heist And we'll move to an island, and

And he can be my jailer, Burton to this Taylor Every lover known in comparison is a failure I forget their names now, I'm so very tame now Never be the same now, now"

"End Game" okay for some Denzo reunion angst. 3/10

"Reconnected when we were little bit older Both sprung, I got issues and chips on both of my shoulders" "And you understand the good and bad" "For all my flaws, paranoia, and insecurities I've made mistakes, and made some choices that's hard to deny"

I declare "I Did Something Bad" to be Damon's theme song. 8/10

"I can feel the flames on my skin Crimson red paint on my lips"

"They say I did something bad But why's it feel so good? Most fun I ever had And I'd do it over and over and over again if I could It just felt so good, good" "This is how the world works You gotta leave before you get left" "I can feel the flames on my skin He says, "Don't throw away a good thing""

"Don't Blame Me" is a 10/10 Denzo Murder Husbands son.

"Don't blame me, love made me crazy If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right" "Something happened for the first time, in The darkest little paradise Shakin, pacin', I just need you" "For you, I would cross the line I would waste my time I would lose my mind They say, "She's He's gone too far this time"" "And baby, for you, I (I) would (would) fall from grace"

"Delicate" my GOD, the beauty of this song paired with post-Augustine Denzo. 8/10

"My reputation's never been worse, so You must like me for me We can't make any promises Now can we, babe? But you can make me a drink" "Just think of the fun things we could do 'Cause I like you" "Handsome, you're a mansion with a view Do the girls back home touch you like I do?" "Stay here, honey, I don't want to share" "Sometimes when I look into your eyes I pretend you're mine, all the damn time"

"Look What You Made Me Do" is an Enzo song. We may have just found his theme song as well. 8/10

"I don't like your little games" "The role you made me play of the fool No, I don't like you" "But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time I got a list of names, and yours is in red, underlined"

Okay, but "So It Goes..." is THEIR song now. I know I've said that like three times now, but I MEAN it. 9/10

"See you in the dark All eyes on you, my magician" "You make everyone disappear, and Cut me into pieces Gold cage, hostage to my feelings Back against the wall" "'Cause we breakdown a little But when you get me alone, it's so simple 'Cause baby, I know what you know We can feel it" "And all the pieces fall Right into place Getting caught up in a moment Lipstick Blood on your face So it goes I'm yours to keep And I'm yours to lose You know I'm not a bad girl boy But I do bad things with you So it goes" "Met you in a bar All eyes on me, your illusionist All eyes on us I make all your gray days clear" "You did a number on me But honestly, baby, who's counting? I did a number on you But honestly, baby, who's counting?"

"Gorgeous" because Enzo will pine forever. 5/10

"Ocean blue eyes looking in mine I feel like I might sink and drown and die"

"And I'm so furious At you for making me feel this way"

"You make me so happy, it turns back to sad, yeah There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have"

"Getaway Car" for angsty Augustine reasons. But also Murder Husbands. 5/10

"It was the best of times, the worst of crimes"

""X" marks the spot where we fell apart"

"Don't pretend it's such a mystery Think about the place where you first met me Ridin' in a getaway car There were sirens in the beat of your heart Should've known I'd be the first to leave Think about the place where you first met me"

"It was the great escape, the prison break The light of freedom on my face"

"We were jet-set, Bonnie and Clyde (Oh-oh) Until I switched to the other side To the other side It's no surprise I turned you in (Oh-oh) 'Cause us traitors never win"

"King of My Heart" this specific part again makes me think of them meeting up on that road in the middle of the night, and the look that they give each other after killing Aaron where they literally look a second away from kissing. 2/10

"Late in the night, the city's asleep Your love is a secret I'm hoping, dreaming, dying to keep Change my priorities The taste of your lips is my idea of luxury"

"Dancing With Our Hands Tied" is such a beautiful song and while the whole thing doesn't fit with them, the parts that do just fit so well. 7/10

"I, I loved you in secret First sight, yeah, we love without reason Oh, twenty-five years old" "People started talking, putting us through our paces I knew there was no one in the world who could take it I had a bad feeling" "I, I loved you in spite of Deep fears that the world would divide us" "I'm a mess, but I'm the mess that you wanted" "Swaying as the room burned down"

These first five lines of "Dress" from Enzo's point of view, and the last two in Damon's. 6/10

"They've got no idea about me and you"

"All of this silence and patience, pining in anticipation My hands are shaking from holding back from you"

"Inescapable, I'm not even gonna try And if I get burned, at least we were electrified"

"Everyone thinks that they know us, but they know nothing about"

"Flashback when you met me"

"Even in my worst times, you could see the best of me Flashback to my mistakes"

"Even in my worst lies, you saw the truth of me"

"This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things" 2/10

"It was so nice being friends again There I was giving you a second chance But you stabbed me in the back while shaking my hand" "And here's to you 'Cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do"

"New Year's Day" for some post-Aaron murder husbands vibes. 3/10

"There's glitter on the floor after the party"

"You and me from the night before"

"But I stay when it's hard, or it's wrong, or we're making mistakes"

"Hold on to the memories They will hold on to you"

ALBUM 7. LOVER.

Starting with "I Forgot That You Existed" the first line is from Enzo's point of view, then the rest are from Damon's, of course, and how he turned off his humanity to leave him in Augustine. 5/10

"How many days did I spend Thinkin' 'bout how you did me wrong, wrong, wrong?"

"But then something happened one magical night

I forgot that you existed And I thought that it would kill me, but it didn't And it was so nice So peaceful and quiet

I forgot that you existed It isn't love, it isn't hate It's just indifference"

"Cruel Summer" 1/10

"Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes What doesn't kill me makes me want you more" "He looks up grinning like a devil"

"Lover" from Enzo's point of view because we need some fluff and sweetness 2/10

"Have I known you 20 seconds or 20 years?" "Can I go where you go? Can we always be this close forever and ever?" "My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue All's well that ends well to end up with you Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover"

"The Archer" has more Enzo vibes than Denzo, but some of the lines fit in nicely for them, so I'll include it. 3/10

"Dark side, I search for your dark side" "The room is on fire, invisible smoke"

"I've been the archer, I've been the prey Screaming, who could ever leave me, darling? But who could stay?" "'Cause all of my enemies started out friends Help me hold onto you"

"I Think He Knows" just for this one part because it once again just screams that night on the road, and Enzo convincing Damon to come along with him. 1/10

"So where we gonna go? I whisper in the dark Where we gonna go? I think he knows"

"Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince" because Danzo running off together is one of my favourite things, and also sad, pining Damon phoning Enzo begging him to run away with him. 1/10

"We're so sad, we paint the town blue Voted most likely to run away With you" "And I don't want you to (go) I don't really wanna (fight) 'Cause nobody's gonna (win) I think you should come home"

"Paper Rings" again because them running away together makes me very happy, this time with a side of pining Enzo. 2/10

"I want to drive away with you I want your complications too I want your dreary Mondays Wrap your arms around me, baby boy"

"Cornelia Street" just for a sliver of angst. 1/10

"And I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends" "That's the kind of heartbreak time could never mend"

"Death By A Thousand Cuts" for some more Augustine/post-Augustine angst, mostly from Enzo's point of view, but the second line is more Damon. 2/10

"Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts" "I get drunk, but it's not enough" "I look through the windows of this love Even though we boarded them up Chandelier's still flickering here 'Cause I can't pretend it's ok when it's not It's death by a thousand cuts" "Gave you too much but it wasn't enough But I'll be all right, it's just a thousand cuts"

"London Boy" because Damon loves the English as much as Taylor does. 3/10

"But something happened, I heard him laughing I saw the dimples first and then I heard the accent They say home is where the heart is But that's not where mine lives" "He likes my American smile Like a child when our eyes meet"

"False God" mainly for the last one because I can already see a future gifset with those lyrics over the scene of Damon telling Enzo to leave him. 2/10

"We were crazy to think Crazy to think that this could work" "But we can patch it up good Make confessions and we're begging for forgiveness Got the wine for you" "And you can't talk to me when I'm like this Daring you to leave me just so I can try and scare you"

Listen to "Afterglow" and think of Damon. Think of Damon in the moments before turning off his humanity. Think of Damon right before Enzo turns off his own humanity and begging him not to leave him, even though he thinks he would deserve it if he did. 9/10

"Fighting with a true love is boxing with no gloves Chemistry 'til it blows up, 'til there's no us Why'd I have to break what I love so much? It's on your face, and I'm to blame, I need to say" "Hey It's all me in my head I'm the one who burned us down But it's not what I meant Sorry that I hurt you I don't wanna do, I don't wanna do this to you I don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose this with you I need to say, hey It's all me, just don't go Meet me in the afterglow" "It's so excruciating to see you low Just wanna lift you up and not let you go This ultraviolet morning light below Tells me this love is worth the fight, oh" "Tell me that you're still mine Tell me that we'll be just fine Even when I lose my mind I need to say Tell me that it's not my fault Tell me that I'm all you want Even when I break your heart"

"Me!" because this particular verse fits both of them, really. 4/10

"I know that I went psycho on the phone I never leave well enough alone And trouble's gonna follow where I go"

"It's Nice To Have A Friend" God okay thinking about them with this song makes me feel many things mainly because it's such a soft song. 3/10

"Twenty questions, we tell the truth You've been stressed out lately? Yeah, me too Something gave you the nerve To touch my hand

It's nice to have a friend"

"Daylight" a lot of the lyrics to this one remind me of Damon, specifically the second verse I've included and the third one, and the fourth one's bit about breathing in the smoke of course makes me think of Augustine. 5/10

"My love was as cruel as the cities I lived in" "There are so many lines that I've crossed unforgiven I'll tell you the truth, but never goodbye" "I've been sleeping so long in a 20-year dark night And now I see daylight, I only see daylight" "I wounded the good and I trusted the wicked Clearing the air, I breathed in the smoke"

ALBUM 8. FOLKLORE.

"The 1" from Enzo's point of view because he just couldn't leave Damon alone after Augustine and everything they went through, he still wanted to be in his life. 3/10

"And if my wishes came true It would've been you In my defense, I have none For never leaving well enough alone But it would've been fun If you would've been the one" "If one thing had been different Would everything be different today?" "And it would've been sweet If it could've been me In my defense, I have none For digging up the grave another time"

"Cardigan" + Denzo is a recipe for some light angst, especially when put into the contest of Damon regretting everything he put Enzo through and then trying desperately to save him the second time around. 4/10

"You drew stars around my scars But now I'm bleedin'" "Marked me like a bloodstain, I I knew you Tried to change the ending Peter losing Wendy" "I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs The smell of smoke would hang around this long"

"Exile" Because who doesn't want even more angst regarding Damon's betrayal, and his regret and determination not to repeat history? And some angst from Enzo with the fifth verse. 6/10

"I think I've seen this film before And I didn't like the ending" "Now I'm in exile, seein' you out" "Like you'd get your knuckles bloody for me" "Second, third, and hundredth chances Balancin' on breaking branches Those eyes add insult to injury" "I'm not your problem anymore So who am I offending now?" "We always walked a very thin line You didn't even hear me out (you didn't even hear me out)"

"My Tears Ricochet" tell me this entire song doesn't scream their love story in an unheard ghostly telling from a bitter Enzo? 10/10

"We gather here, we line up Weepin' in a sunlit room, and If I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes too Even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe All the hell you gave me? 'Cause I loved you, I swear I loved you 'Til my dying day" "I didn't have it in myself to go with grace And you're the hero flying around, saving face And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake? Cursing my name, wishing I stayed" "You know I didn't want to have to haunt you But what a ghostly scene" "And I can go anywhere I want Anywhere I want, just not home And you can aim for my heart, go for blood But you would still miss me in your bones" "You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same Cursing my name, wishing I stayed You turned into your worst fears" "And you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain Crossing out the good years"

"August" That middle one is making me feel things because hope really was all they were living for in Augustine. 3/10

"But I can see us lost in the memory" "Wanting was enough For me, it was enough To live for the hope of it all"

"'Cause you weren't mine to lose You weren't mine to lose, no"

"This Is Me Trying" Damon's point of view. Need I say more? 4/10

"I didn't know if you'd care if I came back I have a lot of regrets about that" "And my words shoot to kill when I'm mad I have a lot of regrets about that" "And it's hard to be at a party when I feel like an open wound It's hard to be anywhere these days when all I want is you"

"Illicit Affairs" 2/10

"And clandestine meetings and longing stares It's born from just one single glance" "And you know damn well For you, I would ruin myself A million little times"

"Invisible String" because I agree that isn't it just so pretty to think that Damon and Enzo were always meant to continuously find their way back to each other? It always felt like the universe must be against them in some way, and then they miraculously make their way back to each other again whether through persistence or simple patience. 3/10

"And isn't it just so pretty to think All along there was some Invisible string Tying you to me?" "Time, mystical time Cuttin' me open, then healin' me fine" "Something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire Chains around my demons, wool to brave the seasons One single thread of gold tied me to you"

"Mad Woman" Enzo deserves to be bitter every now and then. 3/10

"What did you think I'd say to that? Does a scorpion sting when fighting back? They strike to kill and you know I will You know I will" "Now I breathe flames each time I talk" "They say, "Move on", but you know, I won't"

"Epiphany" These lines had some soldier vibes to them and that just fits Enzo's whole mentality towards Augustine really well. 3/10

"With you, I serve With you, I fall down, down Watch you breathe in Watch you breathing out, out" "Only 20 minutes to sleep But you dream of some epiphany Just one single glimpse of relief"

"Betty" okay so the first part is obviously Damon, as is the last one, but the two in the middle are Enzo right before reuniting with Damon. 4/10

"The worst thing that I ever did Was what I did to you" "But if I just showed up at your party Would you have me? Would you want me? Would you tell me to go fuck myself?" "But it's finally sinkin' in Betty, right now is the last time I can dream about what happens when You see my face again" "The only thing I wanna do Is make it up to you"

"Peace" something about these lyrics in a Denzo context make me feel things, specifically through Damon's point of view. 6/10

"I never had the courage of my convictions As long as danger is near And it's just around the corner, darling 'Cause it lives in me No, I could never give you peace" "All these people think love's for show But I would die for you in secret The devil's in the details, but you got a friend in me Would it be enough if I could never give you peace?" "And you know that I'd swing with you for the fences Sit with you in the trenches" "But the rain is always gonna come if you're standing with me"

"Hoax" Angst upon angst, from switching point of views, but both very Augustine based. 5/10

"My best laid plan Your sleight of hand My barren land I am ash from your fire" "You knew it still hurts underneath my scars From when they pulled me apart But what you did was just as dark Darling, this was just as hard As when they pulled me apart"

"The Lakes" the general vibe of this song gives me so many denzo fic ideas, specifically something really soft and wistful, but these lines actually do fit in a bit with canon and how Enzo wanted Damon to go with him. 4/10

"Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die I don't belong, and my beloved, neither do you" "I'm setting off, but not without my muse No, not without you"

ALBUM 9. EVERMORE.

"Willow" starts us off with some wistful vibes, mainly from Enzo once again just wanting Damon, but ALSO from Damon willing to literally go anywhere for Enzo, just so long as he doesn't lose him again. 3/10

"Wherever you stray I follow I'm begging for you to take my hand Wreck my plans That's my man" "Wait for the signal and I'll meet you after dark"

"gold rush" I only included this one because these lines give me heavy Odyssey vibes and I can't just ignore that when talking about Damon and Enzo. 2/10

"Gleaming Twinkling Eyes like sinking ships On waters so inviting I almost jump in"

"'tis the damn season" 3/10

"There's an ache in you put there by the ache in me But if it's all the same to you It's the same to me"

"You can run, but only so far I escaped it too, remember how you watched me leave But if it's okay with you, it's okay with me"

(You already covered "tolerate it" so I can skip that one but it is one of my favourites for them)

"happiness" that third section from Enzo's point of view kills me. 5/10

"There'll be happiness after you But there was happiness because of you Both of these things can be true" "Haunted by the look in my eyes That would've loved you for a lifetime Leave it all behind" "I can't make it go away by making you a villain I guess it's the price I paid for seven years in Heaven" "After giving you the best I had Tell me what to give after that All you want from me now is the green light of forgiveness"

"dorothea" 1/10

"Do you ever stop and think about me?" "It's never too late To come back to my side"

"coney island" for some regretful Damon. 6/10

"And if this is the long haul How'd we get here so soon? Did I close my fist around something delicate? Did I shatter you?" "Will you forgive my soul When you're too wise to trust me and too old to care?" "Did I leave you hanging every single day?" "Did I paint your bluest skies the darkest gray?"

"ivy" that last part hurts a little too much 4/10

"Oh, goddamn My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand" "I'd live and die for moments that we stole On begged and borrowed time" "So yeah, it's a fire It's a goddamn blaze in the dark And you started it You started it"

"cowboy like me" more Augustine angst. 7/10

"I've got some tricks up my sleeve Takes one to know one" "You're a cowboy like me Perched in the dark Telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear" "You're a bandit like me Eyes full of stars Hustling for the good life Never thought I'd meet you here It could be love We could be the way forward And I know I'll pay for it" "And the skeletons in both our closets Plotted hard to mess this up"

"marjorie" because ANGST 6/10

"And if I didn't know better I'd think you were talking to me now If I didn't know better I'd think you were still around What died didn't stay dead What died didn't stay dead You're alive, you're alive in my head"

"closure" but from Enzo's point of view. 8/10

"It's been a long time And seeing the shape of your name Still spells out pain It wasn't right The way it all went down" "Don't treat me like some situation that needs to be handled I'm fine with my spite" "I know I'm just a Wrinkle in your new life Staying friends Would iron it out so nice Guilty, guilty reaching out across the sea That you put between you and me But it's fake And it's oh so unnecessary"

"evermore" oh the pain of Enzo clinging to thoughts of Damon so as to not lose his humanity in Augustine. 4/10

"And when I was shipwrecked (can't think of all the cost) I thought of you (all the things that will be lost now) In the cracks of light (can we just get a pause?) I dreamed of you (to be certain we'll be tall again) (If you think of all the costs) It was real enough (whether weather be the frost) To get me through (or the violence of the dog days) (Out on waves being tossed) But I swear (is there a line that we could just go cross?) You were there"

"right where you left me" is another wonderfully angsty song when put into Enzo's perspective in Augustine. 9/10

"But I'm right where you left me Matches burn after the other Pages turn and stick to each other" "Still sitting in a corner I haunt Cross-legged in the dim light They say, "What a sad sight"" "Everybody moved on I, I stayed there Dust collected on my pinned-up hair They expected me to find somewhere Some perspective, but I sat and stared" "Right where you left me You left me no, oh, you left me no You left me no choice but to stay here forever"

"And it's been so long But if you ever think you got it wrong

I'm right where you left me"

"it's time to go" so the first part is Damon convincing himself that leaving Enzo in Augustine was the right thing to do for himself, and then the other two parts are Enzo's point of view. 5/10

"Sometimes giving up is the strong thing Sometimes to run is the brave thing Sometimes walking out is the one thing That will find you the right thing 15 years, 15 million tears Begging 'til my knees bled I gave it my all, he gave me nothing at all" "Now he sits on his throne in his palace of bones Praying to his greed He's got my past frozen behind glass"

And from the vault, we begin with "You All Over Me" because this part just has Damon and Enzo written all over it. 7/10

"I lived, and I learned Had you, got burned Held out, and held on God knows, too long And wasted time, lost tears Swore that I'd get out of here But no amount of freedom gets you clean I've still got you all over me"

I don't even need to list the exact lyrics from "Mr. Perfectly Fine" that reminds me of Damon and Enzo because let's be honest, it's the entire song. 10/10 for angst and emotion.

"We Were Happy"another little dose of angst but with a touch of wistfulness to it, I'm feeling in Enzo's perspective. 6/10

"No one could touch the way we laughed in the dark" "Oh, I hate those voices Tellin' me I'm not in love anymore But they don't give me choices"

"That's When" very much makes me think about when Enzo found out Damon killed Maggie and decided to turn off his humanity rather than hate him. (Aside from the line at the end because that is basically what Enzo asked Damon when they reunited for the first time.) 9/10

"You said, "I know" When I said, "I need some time, need some space To think about all of this" You watched me go And I knew my words were hard to hear And harder to ever take back And I said, "When can I come back?"" "I said, "I know" When you said, "I did you wrong, made mistakes And put you through all of this" (through all of this) Then through the phone Came all your tears And I said "Leave those all in our past"" "And you said, "Honestly When you were gone, did you ever think of me?""

"Don't You" painful but fitting for how Enzo felt when reuniting with Damon. 9/10

"But don't you, don't you Smile at me and ask me how I've been Don't you say you've Missed me if you don't want me again You don't know how much I feel I love you still

So why don't you, don't you?" "Sometimes I wish that I could hate you I've tried, but that's just somethin' I can't do My heart knows what the truth is I swore I wouldn't do this" "So I'll walk out of here tonight Try to go on with my life And you can say we're still friends (But I don't wanna pretend)"

Once again, basically all of "Better Man" fits them, I recommend just listening to the whole song and picturing Enzo talking about/to Damon. 9/10

"Run" Murder Husbands on a roadtrip. 9/10

"We shouldn't be in this town And my so-called friends, they don't know I'd drive away before I let you go So give me a reason and don't say no, no There's a chain 'round your throat, piece of paper where I wrote "I'll wait for you" "And run, like you'd run from the law Darling, let's run Run from it all We can go where our eyes can take us Go where no one else is, run"

And so that concludes our list of Taylor Swift songs written for Damon and Enzo! It is much longer than I actually thought it was going to be, but here we are. I'm just surprised Tumblr hasn't crashed in the (6-hour) process of me writing this.

summary: You loss someone very close to you through a ghoul. However, you were rescued by an unknown man that you would see him again, neither of you knew.

—

A woman's life has never been easy, no matter what century you live in, there are always people whose minds are from the previous century.

Since I am a student and have to go to work right after all my lectures it is late in the evening, as I am lucky in an unsafe district in Tokyo it doesn't make the situation any better, apart from the perverted men there are quite a few ghouls in this world, that can turn any person's life into a nightmare at any second.

Sometimes I hate them a little too much, because one of them had murdered my best friend in front of my eyes and then ate it. Since I was in a state of shock, I couldn't do anything, neither run nor scream.

The only thing I could do was let my tears run free.

If he hadn't come that evening, I'm sure I would have been dead long ago.

I don't know his name for it but his looks, it has to be said that his looks don't distinguish that of a 'normal' person, but it's nice to see someone else.

But this charisma that he had was terrifying, my heart beat and beat against my chest every time, while he laughed and screamed by brutally and inhumanly murdering someone in front of my eyes.

Anyone with a sane mind knows that the ghouls are cruel, but just because someone is so cruel you don't have to be like that person, because in the end, until you are just like that person you loathe.

Today is Saturday, my favorite weekday, but why?

Quite simply, no school and no work.

Nevertheless, I am outside and am just about to buy flowers, because today it is 4 months ago that Haruki sacrificed his life for mine.

Just looking back, it makes my back cold.

Instead of the sun shining for him, the rain presents the tears from me for the past months.

He was like a brother to me.

I'm going to graduate soon just so I can become a police officer, it will take a long time, but everything has its time.

Kneeling in front of his tombstone, which was engraved with his name, laid (Y / N) the flowers and closed her eyes for a long time.

For it is now autumn, the sun has already set.

Sighing, she got up and took the subway in the district where she lives, but she was less lucky in which district she is, because this is the district where most murders, robberies, drug trafficking and much more happen.

You have to consider that the rents there are pretty cheap.

Just as (Y / N) was about to take her headphones out of her pocket, she heard distant steps behind her.

Hesitantly she turned around but nobody saw.

She slowly put her headphones where it was before and jogged a little.

Maybe she should run, but what if?

if there really was a person here, or a ghoul and if she should run, what should she do if he was standing in front of her?

When she was about to run away, she heard a loud scream, it sounds like pain and cruel agony.

As reluctantly as she wanted to go there, a question came through her head: "What if it was a person, someone who was attacked by a ghoul?"

Dejected, she started running in that direction, she will probably die any second, but she has to save someone!

If she couldn't save him then at least this stranger could.

When she arrived at the finish, she only saw one back, he was wearing a blue sweatshirt and had black hair, his fingers are clamped to his hair and his screams were louder than before.

Slowly as she approached him, she held her hand in front of her mouth so as not to make a sound - the bad sounds are rising over her head.

A dead man lay before him, covered in blood, his face barely recognizable, his stomach torn open.

When the crying man turned around, her breathing stopped, it was more than just a ghoul, it was someone she knew.

You could say they are good friends "Ken?" she asked softly and looked into his black eye.

Had he always been a ghoul?

Various emotions are brought together through his eyes, anger, shock, fear and, above all, hate.

Without knowing how (Y / N) should feel, a salty tear rolled down her cheek, "Get lost!" he shouted in her face and immediately looked away from her, but how could she run?

While in shock, Ken prefers to focus on the dead man.

The dead man's blood is on the floor, on Ken's hands, clothes and face.

She ran away in fear of the one she saw as a friend.

As fast as she could she ran into nothing, just not with him.

Her breath was loud and since breathing is loud it is easier for her attacker to find her.

When she was about to be free from this area, someone grabbed her wrist, but the person overdid it and managed to break her wrist in a few seconds.

She screamed loudly in pain, but her attacker covered her mouth, she tasted iron ... blood?

Her eyes widened to see that it was Ken who broke her wrist

"I'm sorry, but I have no other choice."

Ken.

Said my mind, I slowly closed my eyes and waited every second until it ended my life when I suddenly heard a laugh.

It wasn't Ken's, definitely not mine, but it sounds so familiar to me.

I opened my eyes and saw a white-haired man in the distance approaching us every second, without really being able to do anything, I closed my eyes and screamed loudly until I heard something drop.

I slowly opened mine and at the same time couldn't feel Ken's arm anymore, but I felt his stomach on my back.

I regret opening my eyes because Ken's arm was there.

All the red blood is all over the floor.

The sirens rang loudly, the lights of the police cars shine towards us.

All weapons are aimed at us, or rather at Ken, they want to kill him.

His body is still close to mine, it was trembling badly.

"Ken, get out of here."

Unfortunately, we both know too well that if he's here a minute longer, he's going to die.

"I am sorry." he said softly and disappeared from nowhere.

Apparently the white-haired man didn't feel like following him but approached me, he lifted Ken's cut off arm in the air and bragged about it in front of the police officers.

Then he looked at me and said, full of joy, "Wait a minute! I know you!"

The fear still lingers in me, so I couldn't say anything.

A police officer approached us and asked me to come along so I can answer the questions that were sent to me.

"I want to come with." said the stranger, and went ahead.

Together in the car he tried in vain to have a conversation with me several times, but how can I?

I saw with my own eyes how a friend of mine is actually a ghoul and an innocent man was just about to eat.

Please let all of this be a bad joke to me.

In one room, the officer questioned me, but if I'm honest I have to admit that I didn't answer all questions honestly.

What would they do with Ken?

Of course they'll kill him and even if he's a ghoul he'll still be my friend, no matter what.

It is clear to me that it is wrong to lie, but I know that Ken, even though he is a ghoul, is not that someone who enjoys killing people or even eats them.

I was given a small bottle of water in the hallway and waited for it to be released.

"Hey." someone whispered and sat down next to me.

"Hi." I whispered back, but my eyes stay on my bottle.

"You don't like to talk, do you?" he asked me and immediately started talking about himself.

Apparently killing ghouls is a passion for him, why exactly I don't know.

But maybe it's his past, who knows.

Juzzo Susuya is his name.

In contrast to the other people I met, he seems to be a little different, not only in character but also in appearance.

These scars that are on his body seem a bit strange, I don't know how exactly.

But one thing is clear to me, he is constantly smiling.

He's probably just happy and if it is then tell me how?

How can anyone be happy all the time since we first met I saw that smile on their face.

To be honest, it scares me a little.

But he seems to be quite young, for where and for what he works.

"Tell me about yourself ... human."

I didn't really give much of myself credit.

Just my name and that I want to work as a policewoman, but I want a job like Juzzo.

I know not every ghoul is bad, but there are too many.

Before Juzzo could talk, someone came and told me I could go.

I got up and wished them a good evening, when I looked at my cell phone to know what time it was, I was a bit shocked that it was shortly before 11 am.

"Hey, (Y / N)!" Juzzo's voice can be heard through the corridor, and I turned around in amazement.

Right in front of me the psycho was standing with a strange grin and said "I'll go with you, because what if a ghoul came out of nowhere, huh? Of course I'll kill him!"

He laughed with all his heart.

Although he seemed nice, he still scares me, but the fact that a ghoul could have intervened any second on the way home made me feel cold.

"Yes, please." answered hesitantly and went on.

On the way home there was a pleasant silence between us, apart from the police sirens the night didn't seem bad like the others.

Every now and then I looked up at the sky and see how beautiful the earth can be.

When I got to my apartment, I got the house keys until Juzzo spoke to me in a different tone.

But it's not that kind of tone that sends a shiver through your spine, no, it's something familiar and yet unfamiliar.

"(Y / N), do me a favor and look for another job, you have seen for yourself how dangerous that can be."

Sighing, I answer "I can decide about my future myself, Juzzo. Take care of yourself."

And so I opened the door and closed it immediately afterwards.

But it's probably also the last time I saw him, someone he'll save my life and ... whatever (Y / N) don't think too much about it.

TIME SKIP

It has been about 3 years after this case.

I am about to buy a coffee from a bakery, but I am buying a small piece of cake for a good friend of mine, but I am not surprised that he likes something sweet.

I got in the car and drove straight to the station, actually nothing special as it is already part of everyday life.

Get up, get ready for work, drive to the bakery to buy a cup of coffee and a small cake and finally drive to the area, nothing special as I said.

Once there, he was already standing in the entrance and looked at the surroundings, but when he saw me he waved his arms up in the air and shouted my name the whole time.

His colleagues looked at him in surprise, but he skilfully ignored them.

"Good morning, Juzzo." I said, handing him his cake, he threw his arms through my waist and also said "Good morning, (Y / N)."

I am happy to have a good friend like Juzzo in my life.

Even if he can be a psycho at times, he still seems to find the right words for you every now and then.

It's hard to believe that he can make me laugh so quickly in just a few seconds.

The work day was not very special today, so I struggled not to fall asleep.

After our release, Juzzo suddenly had the idea of going to the cinema because a new horror film was coming out, seriously?

Dejected, we made our way, while Juzzo chatted about various original murder documentaries, but it has to be said that they are better than horror films.

After Juzzo, strangely enough, paid for the tickets and the snacks, we looked for our seats.

That can be something.

TIME SKIP

"It was completely boring." sigh Juzzo disappointed as we got into my car.

"I can just agree with you."

I started the engine and hit the gas and started driving around town.

There aren't many people to see, but maybe it's better that way.

Just when I had to think of Ken out of nowhere my cell phone was buzzing, bored Juzzo took my cell phone and took it.

"(Y / N) and Juzzo here, what's going on?" he asked, showing my screen, a guoul is sure to be in sight.

We were told where this is and hung up immediately afterwards.

"I love killing ghouls, but I'm so tired today. And all because of this movie."

With a giggle, I said that he could stay with me and drove straight in the direction.

After about 5 minutes we have already reached the finish line.

Annoyed, I took out my gun while Juzzo started running like a psycho.

However, the ghoul did not see it from Juzzo but from me, he let go of his victim so that she could run away for her life and jumped in front of me.

Surprised, Juzzo turns around and screams if he is not enough.

Immediately I grabbed my weapon and immediately made a deep wound on him, of course he wasn't very happy about it and immediately set his claws.

Unfortunately, I evaded too late, so the wounds on my cheek can certainly become scars.

When he was about to take another hit, Juzzo's weapon threatened through his stomach, the ghoul suddenly stopped and spat out a lot of blood.

He quickly pulled out his weapon and beheaded my attacker who was now lying on the floor covered in blood.

Since I do not want that not only my clothes but also shoes are covered with the blood of a ghoul, I tried in vain to get up, maybe I sprained my ankles, but it will be fine.

Juzzo immediately took my gun and asked me if he should carry me, whereby I said that it wasn't too bad and also started to run.

Juzzo hesitated, but he knows himself that it is useless to argue with me.

After what feels like an eternity, we are back home with the help of my car.

Annoyed, I took my laundry and in the next second found myself in the shower.

When I got out of the shower I saw that Juzzo also wanted to take a shower and gave him the spare clothes that I have for him in the closet.

After he was finished we lay down together in my bed and put the covers on our bodies.

I turned off the light and whispered softly, "Love you, Juzzo. Good night."

"Me too."

He deserves the slap in the face.
