def;Â a condition in which the heart beats with an irregular or abnormal rhythm.
"Yeah.” Prompto mirrored the same nonchalance, though there was a tightness to his lips, as if the feeling wasn’t exactly genuine. “Things that are alive... generally... have an actual heart, yknow?”
He’d been trying to squash it down to the back of his mind, letting it be some quirk of the world, but it kept creeping up on him. It was hard to ignore, really, when every corner they turned seemed to bring with it the mention of hearts.
And he couldn’t keep himself from glancing to his strange partner in wonder. The other guy seemed alive enough to walk, talk, fight things, so unless he was some oddly corporeal figment of his imagination, Prompto was curious.
As gently as he could with fingertips that had accrued enough callouses to be atrocious, Prompto pushed the slightest bit of Demyx’s coat off his wrist, exposing the flesh there. It might have been almost poetic, if one was keen for that nonsense, when his own were so covered up; a dichotomy of sorts.
Cautiously, he pressed two fingers to where the pulse point in the wrist was supposed to be, and waited. ....And waited. He thought he felt something, though he bit his lower lip as he moved his hand from that point to the one upon Demyx’s neck.
Stronger, there, and he cracked a half-smile. “Man, don’t say such weird things when you’ve definitely got something there.”
