Sappy thoughts incoming. You have been warned.
Just imagine your favorite dateable(s) holding you close with his\her\their ear to your chest listening to the sound of your heart beating.
There are a few that come to mind that I think specifically would be all for listening to your heart beat (including some of my object ocs, because why not). (Though if I’m being honest I think most (if not all) of them would probably enjoy it to some extent.)
Canon Characters (general spoiler warning, some of these may or may not veer into late stages of route\love ending territory for some of the characters. Proceed with caution):
Teddy- he seems a bit obvious, but that doesn't stop it from being sweet to think about. He's a teddy bear, he is likely very used to being held close enough to hear your heart when you're sleeping. But that doesn't stop him from loving every second of it when presented with the opportunity.
The Hanks- I don't have any particular reasoning for them, just the vibe I get. Just imagine, himbo cuddle pile and one of them just has his head nestled snuggly against your chest listening intently to your heart.
Skips- You can't convince me that he wouldn't be all for laying against you (either in bed or on the couch while watching stuff) with his head against your chest so he could listen to your heart. He finds it soothing to listen to. (And if you run your hands through his hair while he’s laying against you he would be so happy, and probably would have a major blush going on.)
Hector- He is another one that is kind of obvious. Maybe it’s something that would happen more after being realized, mainly because he might feel bad with how clunky he is pre realization. Not to say it wouldn’t happen at all pre realization, he just might be more worried because of how his body is at that point. But don’t let that fool you, he is a sucker for it and absolutely loves it when he is able to sit/lay there with you with his ear against your chest and listen to your heart. Also would practically melt if you played with his hair during those moments.
Zoey- Yes, this is mainly because she's a ghost. And I think it's really cute when ghost\undead characters are completely enamored by the simplest aspects of their living partners. In Zoey's case I also imagine there is a dash of missing it from when she was previously alive, a sort of "didn't know what I had until I lost it" type of situation. So now she will just sit there with you and listen to your heart whenever she can.
Betty- You look me in the eye and tell me Betty wouldn't love to have her head against your chest and listen to your heart while cuddling. Especially if you gently run your hand up and down her back.
Eddie & Volt- Ok, these 2 may be here because of stuff I’ve seen and liked in others fanfics and headcanons. They are both probably used to hearing the constant hum of electricity around them, so the chance to listen to your heart beat is a welcomed change. When he’s particularly stressed Eddie would love nothing more than for you to just hold him close as he lays his head against your chest and listens to your heart. He will definitely fall asleep like that. Volt doesn’t really need a reason. Expect him to pull you into hugs where he is easily able to rest his head against your chest to listen to the rhythmic beating. Do hug him back, it’ll make him especially happy. (Maybe refrain from running your hands through his hair pre realization, though brushing away a few strands here and there can’t hurt (much). Post realization though? Yes, that’d just make the moment even more special for him!) Regardless of which of them it is, they both find the sound the most calming thing on earth.
Mac- Another one where I have no real reason and am purely basing this on vibe. They might not go out of their way to seek it out, but I’m convinced they’d definitely enjoy it.
My Object OCs (these two are specifically intended to be read as either platonic or romantic):
Griselda (weed grinder)- If they are comfortable enough around/with you then odds are that she ends up snuggled up to you at one point or another while high, especially if sitting next to one another. The rhythm of your heat beat mixed with the way your chest rises and falls with your breathing helps ground them if they get too high/get a bad high. Though most of the time it is purely because she likes the closeness.
Trixie (trinket box)- Normally she’d likely be the one being rested against (and she doesn’t mind one bit), but sometimes she likes to be on the receiving end. This is especially true whenever she falls back into her habit of losing sleep worrying about her cousin. Just sit on the ground with her, let her lean against you, and wrap your arms around her. No words need to be said, she’ll be content just listening to your heart and your breathing. That being said, talking won’t hurt anything. Talk about whatever (as long as it won’t make her worrying worse) while the two of you are like this. While she may not fully pay attention to your words she enjoys the company (and your effort) all the same. High chance of her falling asleep like that, meaning you’ll be stuck there for a while.
I hope y’all liked these. Please feel free to add on to this if you’d like (be it canon characters or your own ocs).
