Sherwithan

Sherwithan is the slash ship between Sherwin and Jonathan from the In a Heartbeat fandom.

Canon
Sherwin, a shy ginger-haired boy, arrives at his school and dashes behind a tree, hiding from his secret crush, Jonathan. Sherwin watches Jonathan. He walks past reading a book and playing with an apple. Sherwin looks at Jonathan in adoration from the treetops, but whacks his head on a branch above, alerting Jonathan who looks behind him. Sherwin flees behind a branch before he is seen. Jonathan is oblivious to Sherwin, however, Sherwin's heart begins to beat rapidly out of his chest. Sherwin attempts to keep it hidden, but fails and his heart becomes anthropomorphic, leaving his body and chasing after Jonathan.

The heart replaces Jonathan’s apple and he continues to throw it in the air, oblivious it’s a heart. Sherwin is shocked and tried to fetch the heart back, but accidentally holds hands with Jonathan for a brief moment. Sherwin continues to try and get the heart back, nearly kissing him in the process. Sherwin jumps into the dustbin in embarrassment, leaving a puzzled Jonathan. However, the heart refuses to stop running away and pulls Sherwin across the entrance towards Jonathan.

In the school, the heart nuzzles Jonathan’s cheek on the ground. Sherwin tries to catch it back, but the boys hold on to each side of the heart and stare at each other with clear feelings. The other kids look at them in disdain and judgement. They pull on the heart and the heart break into two. Sherwin runs out of the school and sits by the tree, all alone and upset, with his broken heart clenched in his hand. Jonathan kneels down beside Sherwin, and they connect the broken heart together and it springs back to life. Both of their heart glow and they form into one.
