[ Finn didn't expect help with the shirt, not from someone like James who refuses assistance for his own wounds. Which is interesting he's offered this much help at all, even though Finn's about to regret in a couple of seconds. Still, while the first touches are tender for Finn, his skin doesn't feel harder or softer than any other guy tensing while trying really hard not to brace for pain.
He doesn't have time to offer up any more theories about his paranoia or make a quip about 'being gentle' or to even give that amusement a look of his own. Because James is absolutely not gentle. The first press comes so sharply, so quickly, that Finn's hand whips out to wrap tight around James's wrist. Then immediately lets go and digs into his own leg instead. ]
Sorry.
[ Instinct. Apparently, Finn was not checking correctly because this hurts a lot more, but he also understands the necessity of it and is even glad he's got someone else to help check. Or he will be glad once this is over. Right now, his jaw is clenched while he keeps telling himself to breathe.
Thankfully, nothing appears to be broken. Just hurts, bruised to all hell, but he's taking it like a champ. Not even wincing anymore. Mostly. Even when James comes across another particularly tender- ] Fuck-- [ Hissing doesn't count. ]
