Well, I posted this question on HBP, but I figured I might answer it here, because I actually feel like talking about it.
As far as the heart-sharing goes, I usually prefer to have someone listen to my heart than to listen to someone else's. I absolutely adore listening, but it just feels so different to share with someone you're close to. To feel their head on your chest and to see the way your heartbeat affects them. It feels like giving a gift of sorts, like you're letting them hear a secret meant for them alone.
