I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One Novels & Stories

I placed my hand on his chest too "Hear that?" I asked and watched his eyes lit up at the sound of his heartbeat which was beating faster than usual "I hear it Mummy. It's so cool!" I smiled at his innocent excitement. Even in the midst ofu chaos, he managed to always make me smile and forget my problems for a while “You know,” I said, standing back up and ruffling his hair. “When you’re happy or excited, your heart beats faster. It’s like it’s dancing with joy.”

I answer, unsure. “You’re not even aware?” I scratch my head in embarrassment, and he sighed in response. “You’re too conscious of what’s around you. You’re not paying attention to your own sound at all, idiot.” Idiot? “Here. Let’s try again, only up to here.” He points at the first rest of the arrangement. “This time, don’t listen to anything else besides your own. Okay? One, two, three–” We started playing one more time. I was so scared when we synced at the first measurement, but I tried as hard as I could to listen only to my sound. I didn’t even look up. I was just staring down on the drums after we reached the first rest.

I could see my face slowly turning red in the rear-view mirror although there was only a dim light inside the car. Asher was now resting his head on my shoulder and I wondered if he could hear my fast-beating heart. I could hear him breathe huskily near my neck and the sound felt strangely cute. I tried to listen to his heartbeats and I could soon feel his pulse on my wrist and the low thud of his fast rhythmic beat. I suddenly felt both of our heartbeats synchronizing and I wondered if he felt the same.

The things I had buried deep inside my heart. Ken’s face… Leo’s face… The snow. The pain I felt. Everything just kept flashing through my head over and over again. Then suddenly— Thump. Thump. Thump! A loud heartbeat entered my ears. I froze. My cheek was pressed against Kabir’s chest, and because of that, I could hear every beat of his heart clearly. Fast. Loud. Chaotic. It was beating so hard that it slowly pushed away the voices in my head. Then his mutters reached my ears.

Her voice broke on the next words. “How long have you been hearing… more than one heartbeat?” ⸻ I frowned. “One heartbeat?” She looked up at me slowly, her hands still shaking against my skin. “…I don’t think you’re hearing your own.”

I breathed a sign of relief as I heard, no felt a thud on the floor next to me. I was temporarily deaf. The pounding of my heart fueled the high amounts of adrenaline running through my veins, creating a dull roar in my head, an endless pulsing wave rolling back and forth, blocking out all other sounds around me. My heart beat was strong, albeit a little too loud and unnecessarily quick at the moment.

Noelle could only feel her heartbeat racing, her cheeks flushed. All she could hear was the steady thump of his heartbeat echoing in her ears.

I peeked an eye open, frowning. “I think I'm hearing two heartbeats.”

Listening to their rapid heartbeats. *_"

With each beat, her heart seemed to echo in her ears, a deafening sound that drowned out everything else around her. She closed her eyes and focused on the sensation, feeling every pulse as if it were a wave crashing against the shore. For her, it was not just a physical sensation but a melody, a beautiful symphony of emotion, and desire that she longed to embrace with every fiber of her being.
