[ It's a large blur to JJ, owing not only to his inexperience, the adrenaline pumping through his veins, but the sickness clogging down his senses. His heart drops when the planter connects, but he doesn't really have time to thing about it when Cain is pulling him away. It's just that he's never hurt someone before, physically at least. Had he hit that person in the head? What if there was permanent damage?
He keeps thinking about it, head muddled with concerns that when Cain's pressing him against that wall that he forgets if it's friend or foe that's got their hand over his mouth.
His eyes close, chest rising and falling with his rapid breaths, coughs catching in his throat and making his eyes water. He turns his head away the second Cain moves his head so that he can cough, gasping for breath, but not letting the other man get away, fingers shaking slight as they grip onto the fabric of Cain's shirt.
It goes quiet around them, not that JJ can hear much over his internal confusion and the rush of his heartbeat in his ears. They're lucky that his coughing and hacking don't draw attention back to them, but a few minutes of silence pass and the men don't return.
Once it feels safe, he lets his forehead drop onto Cain's shoulder, breathing deeply. ]
That was scary. [ But worth it! ] Are you okay? What were you doing?
