#this is my official apology to the entirety of beatles tumblr
My Heart Went Boom (or how The Beatles would react to an s/o who loves their heartbeat)
Tumblr media
(Image source is I honestly don't know, I found it on Pinterest- if you know the source, lemme know and I'll add it c: )
This is my first attempt at writing something for all four Beatles (I usually just write Paul ;A;) so please bear with me (and let me know if I've messed up someone's personality) c: also this was written by me specifically for me so it's incredibly niche and I'm honestly only posting in case someone else wants it lol (I'm sorry if it's super weird)
John:
John is a little shit
Anyway
He knows about your habit but refuses to tell you he knows, instead opting to aggravate the shit out of you in the most loving way possible
Most days, he'd come home, out of breath from outrunning fans and reporters, but still with a cheeky smile about his face
"Oh, my little birdie, my heart is beating so fast! Come listen?~"
You'd turn bright red bc how the fuck does he know about that
The day would pass with no other mention of it until you're lying in bed together
"You know I love you, Y/N" he says it almost like an apology
"I know, Johnny"
Paul:
Paul noticed you had a habit of lying on top of him, particularly on days when you were sad
It wasn't until he realized you also tapped his arm in a particular rhythm that he realized exactly what you were doing
After that, he'd make a note to always ask if you were okay or needed anything and to take some deep breaths to slow down his heart rate
Sometimes, if he senses that you're upset but you're not lying on top of him, he'll say, "Come listen to my heart?" (You never felt the need to verbally confess to him, as you had an unspoken understanding)
One time, his mouth got ahead of his brain, and out came, "Come listen, my heart?"
And thus, a new nickname was born
At some point, "my heart" becomes "mon coeur"
Sometimes, he'll ask completely in French and it makes your own heart flutter
George:
With George, it began as morbid curiosity
After all, he's such a skinny thing, if you look closely enough at any of his pulse points, you can see the rhythm
At some point, it turned into a comfort thing, knowing his heart beats only for you, even if it does sound like a bird fluttering half the time
One day, you're lying on the couch, watching the telly, head on his chest
"Are ye listenin' to my heart, Y/N?"
You blush at first, caught completely off-guard, but manage to say, "Yes"
He asks why and you explain
He's silent at first, not knowing what to think, but then his mouth turns up in a smile and his chest puffs with pride
It makes him feel strong knowing you feel comfort in him
Ringo:
You'd had the habit of listening to Ringo for a while, even before you started dating
You'd relish in the moments where you'd simply have a "friend cuddle", as the two of you called them, as you'd press your ear gently above his heart, hoping he wouldn't notice the ever-so delicate touch on his chest
After he'd gotten tonsillitis, though, your habit increased
He was oblivious, thinking you just wanted to hug or cuddle, but for you, it was almost like you needed to hear him to make sure he was alive and well
Sometimes, you'd find yourself pressed against him in the middle of the night, the spaces between beats agonizingly slow (even if it was an average 75 bpm)
At some point, he finally catches on. "Y/N, you know I'm alright now, right?"
You sigh. "I know, Ritchie, it's just-"
He'd cut you off by holding you tight and whispering reassurances in your ear
