Drabble-ish, Riku x Namine. Not my best I think.
Enjoy.

Heartbeat
By: Youkai Hime90
Namine is heartless, incapable of feeling anything. There is a black hole in her chest where her heart should be, but isn't.
She has no heartbeat.
Namine is emotionless, unable to experience that sugar-high rush that you get when you experience that first kiss or that last bittersweet farewell.
She has no emotions.
Yet, she always seems to defy the odds.
(Why are you crying Namine?)
Her small, dainty hands grab Riku's and she presses it against her chest, clenching her eyes shut in fierce, vehement shame.
"See? No heartbeat."
Glossy periwinkle flutters open, glittering with the threat of tears but not a single drop spills, and instead she smiles that same wan smile. Riku imagines Namine sobbing, sitting alone and broken, shining tears falling from her face like cold raindrops on a dreary day. Suddenly, the dam breaks, and luminescent tears are running hard and fast down her cheeks and it irks Riku because someone like her should never ever have to cry.
Especially over something so trivial, so pointless.
Riku silences her tears, his lips brushing over hers in a tantalizing motion, elation and sorrow bittersweet on his tongue. Driven by feelings unknown, the boy moves forward and wraps his arms around Namine's lithe small form whilst stroking her hair, rubbing her back in small circles. As navy blue begins to bleed scarlet and the light of dawn begins to paint the evening sky he holds on to her still, pressing her head against his chest.
Ba-bump Ba-bump.
Riku's heart is beating.
And, it's all because of her.
(My heartbeat is your heartbeat, Namine. . .)
