Fics like My heart fluttering against your skin

See, there was this secret in the Chen family; they were immortal. Not like the elves in Lord of the Rings, no. They had a relatively average lifespan for magical beings, but as long as their hearts were secure, they couldn’t be killed. The only thing they had to take care of was their essence; this tiny ball of light following them around, pulsing with everything they were, had been and would be. Their heart. It seemed a relatively easy task: Just take care of your heart and you’ll be fine. But Eddy’s heart had always been a source of trouble. Running off without his consent, getting mixed up in bad situations, getting attached to random strangers or playing hide and seek. Just all around being a pain. Belle was the first one to notice something was amiss this evening. “Eddy, where’s your heart?” she asked. “I lost it,” he mumbled. “You what?” “I lost it,” he repeated, blushing harder. “It got lost in someone’s sleeve and I couldn’t get it back. It didn’t want to come back with me.” And Belle, being the supportive sister she was, burst out laughing and ran down the stairs. “Mum! Mum! You won’t believe this!”
