The Beating Heart of a Gnara'Garou [2] (Qorrhi x Reader)
... a short lil' series about the Gnara'Garou of Qu'Arrie (aka Gnolls),
specifically a Gnara'Garou named Qorrhi and his human companion... YOU~ :33
(there's very light cardiophilia here,
but not enough to make it mature... yet...) :33
As you and Qorrhi returned to camp, Qorrhi’s energy seemed to swell with every step. He was still riding the high of his performance, his chest visibly expanding and contracting with deep, powerful breaths. The mark over his heart glowed faintly under his fur, as if it thrummed in harmony with the intense, rhythmic beating beneath.
Suddenly, Qorrhi paused, turning to face you, his eyes gleaming with a playful challenge.
“Hey [y/n], want to hear it now?” he asked, his voice a low rumble.
“What…? Your heart?” you ask, though the answer was clear.
“Yes,” he said, his hand resting over his chest. “After showing off, it beats even stronger.”
His pride was unmistakable, and how he spoke about his heart and its strength made you curious to hear how much it had changed after his intense exertion.
You stepped closer, anticipating the deep, powerful pulse you had felt before. Qorrhi lowered his head slightly, making it easier for you to press your ear against his chest. As soon as you made contact, you were overwhelmed by its force—his heart hammered beneath your cheek like the rapid pounding of a war drum. Every beat was rich with energy, resonating through your body with a deep, rhythmic thrum that seemed to reverberate into the ground beneath you. It felt and sounded stronger, faster, almost like the heartbeat of a creature much larger than he already was.
“You feel that, [y/n]?” Qorrhi’s voice was soft, vibrating through his chest like an echoing growl. “It’s powerful. I like how it sounds after I push myself.”
“It’s incredible,” You admit, your head resting against him. The steady rhythm quickened slightly, as though your words had stirred something in him, adding a touch of excitement to his already powerful pulse.
Qorrhi chuckled, his chest pulsating beneath you.
“I knew you’d like it. Nothing feels better than this. My heart beating like this means I’ve done well.” He pulled back, his eyes glimmering with pride. “Now you should make your heart hammer like mine.”
“That’s only fair,” you teased.
Without a second thought, you join him, running a short distance and doing your exercises: push-ups, jumps, etc.. It wasn’t quite as graceful or strong as Qorrhi’s display, but it was enough to pump your blood.
When you stopped, breathing hard, you noticed Qorrhi was watching you, his eyes twinkling with anticipation. You placed a hand over your chest, feeling the wild hammering of your heart, then nodded at him.
“Your turn,” you chirp, a playful grin tugging at your lips.
Without hesitation, Qorrhi stepped forward, towering over you as he bent down, pressing his ear gently against your chest. For a moment, you both stood there, his large frame hunched cutely over as he listened intently to the quickened rhythm of your heart, tail slightly swaying behind him. His ears were twitching, focusing on every beat.
“Hmm,” he murmured, the sound rumbling deep from his throat. “Your heart is strong, too. Not like mine... but it’s good. I like it.” His tail, which had been still, began to swish slightly in approval.
You laughed softly, a bit breathless. “I don’t think anyone’s heart could beat like yours, Gohrr. It’s like a caged beast inside your chest cavity.”
He straightened, grinning like you had just confirmed something he already knew.
“Maybe not, but it’s nice to hear yours. You feel... alive.” His eyes softened momentarily, a rare glimpse into the deeper part of his pride and connection.
“Do you... Like that? Listening to it?” you asked, now curious about his sudden fascination.
He nodded, surprisingly earnest.
“Yes. It’s like... knowing you’re strong. Knowing you’re here, with me.” He paused momentarily, exhaling softly, “Hearts don’t lie... They beat strong when you push yourself, when you’re alive. Listening to your heart makes me feel... like we’re the same.”
You smiled at the thought of it, the simple beauty in how he saw it.
“We are the same in that way, aren’t we?”
Qorrhi let out a low, pleased growl, then stepped back. His eyes gleamed again, that playful light returning.
“But mine definitely beats stronger.”
“Oh, is that a challenge?” you grinned, touching your chest again.
“Maybe.” He flexed his muscles again, showing off, as if to remind you that his heart wasn’t the only thing about him that was strong. “You could feel it again if you’d like, [y/n]. You know, to see how strong it really is.”
“Alright, alright,” You laughed, placing a hand on your hip, “but only if you’ll listen to mine after. Deal?”
Qorrhi nodded, and you moved toward him again. This time, pressing your hand firmly against his chest first, feeling the raw power in his heartbeat. It felt faster now, after all his flexing and strutting, but still steady, strong, and commanding.
“Feels like it’s racing now,” you teased, glancing at him.
“Racing because it’s powerful,” he growled, but there was a glint in his eye, something playful, maybe even a touch of vulnerability, like he was thrilled that you were paying such close attention.
After a few moments, he leaned down again, pressing his ear against your chest, listening to the wild rhythm of your heartbeat that had sped up in the moment’s excitement.
“Hmmph, we are strong,” he murmured, standing tall again. “Both of us. I like this... sharing.”
“I like it too,” you admit, smiling. “We make a good pair, don’t we?”
Qorrhi’s tail flicked with approval, and he gave a proud nod.
“Yes. A strong pair.”
You both kept at it for the rest of the evening—flexing, running, pushing yourselves, and showing off for each other. Each time, you’d both pause, press in close, and listen to the beating of each other’s hearts, a shared moment of pride and connection in the quiet of the twilight. It was a bond forged not just in words, but in the powerful rhythms of heartbeats—two different beings, finding something strangely intimate and unspoken in how you both marveled at your strengths.
