it's pretty much a mystery to me. though speaking as a fic writer, it may be something a person might have read once and decided 'hey maybe i should put that in'
Oh, that makes sense. It's like one of those this person did it like this and it works so i'm gonna use it too and then pretty soon it's the norm.

you can breathe in through your nose, but pretty sure fanfic writers either forget to write in breathing or it's just assumed to be an unimportant detail in the heat of the scene
This also makes sense. It's like one of those assumed knowledge that everyone knows because no one consciously breathes. It just happens.
