Title: Heartbeat
Pairing/Characters: Leaving it to your imagination…
Genre: Romance/Angst
Drabble #: 4
Summary: She would like to imagine that if she strained her ears, she would hear his heartbeat.


She can almost hear his heart thumping against his ribcage. Some part of her wonders if it is really him, or another one of the illusions her mind has woven for her.

How do you hear a heartbeat that can't exist because I don't think you have a heart?

She hopes that it is not one of her delusions; she doesn't think she can stand that pain.

If you break my heart, how do I forgive you?

But between the silence and the words left hanging, she knows that it is his heartbeat after all.

I can hear your heartbeat; can you hear mine?


A/N: Lately, I've had an obsession with vaguely angsty drabbles… Hopefully this is the last, though part of me says it isn't. 104 words! Close…
