Hey guys, I made a new chap! I'm just in the mood of writing this week. Anyways, enjoy!

Request 2, from Muneen123; Jay has some anxiety or panic attack and Cole is there to help him?

Head canon: Jay has social anxiety.This take place before Kai joined, so it only Zane, Cole and Jay. They having bonding time!

Disclaimer: Nopes

Warning: Language, panic attack that I completely invented and fluff. My grammar and writing style too.


Shot 3- Anxiety (Jay)

"Man! This is so boring!" A certain redhead complained for the billion time, starting to get on the nerves of his two teammates.

It's been a months since Jay joined and he couldn't help but feel like he was intruding. Cole and Zane seemed to be great friends and he was a complete stranger to them. Not to mention the fact that he'd never been around people his age for long before, considering where his home was.

Needless to say, Jay felt at a lost of what to do, but sensei Wu told him he would be training and living with them, so he tried his best to be friendly (With all the experience he had.. which is almost none but he'd watched plenty of movies! That has to count for something, right?)

He must be doing something wrong since Zane and Cole would just awkwardly smile and strain to keel the conversation going. Zane was worst to talk to since he would take everything literally and Jay felt like he was mocking him.

"Say, why don't you go get the something you want? Sensei gave us enough money to buy something for ourselves." Cole pulled out some cash and handed it to Jay "Here's your share"

The redhead took the money and excitedly walk away. He could tell Cole was politely getting rid of him but he wasn't gonna complain for once. It was really boring followinh those two while they did grocery shopping.

The question was what could he get? Maybe some sweets and snacks? Yeah definitely. The temple had a severe lack of sugary or caloric junk food. (Those that exist are Cole's and last time Jay ate his chocolate bar and packet of chips, the raven has strangled him)

In his excitement, he accidentally bumped into a man, appearing in his late twenties, causing his to lose the bottle of beer he was carrying. It crashed to the ground and shattered, spilling the alcoholic liquid and fragments of glass all over the floor.

"I'm so-" Jay was cut off from his apology by the man shouting at him.

"Look what you did!" As if the broken bottle hadn't attract enough attention, he was drawing more.

"Can't you watch where you're going, little shit?!" That was highly uncalled for but Jay couldn't protest (Even less apologies) since his voice was stuck in his throat. The man gripped his collar, pulling him close to his face.

"You better got money to pay for that cause I sure as hell ain't paying for this" With the said, he released the redhead and walked away. However, the spectators were not doing the same.

Jay could feel the people around him staring at him and mumbling something between themselves, no doubt about him. Jay tried to gulped down the uneasiness and tried to walk away as normally as possible. It was unsuccessful, it was becoming harder to breath and his eyes were blurry. He could hear his heart pounding furiously and his steps were clumsy, he missed falling 3 times now. He could still feel people watching him and he was feeling more and more self conscious.

Oh be was trembling too now. And his vision wasn't getting better, but was this person smiling at him? Wait no, she was laughing at him! And the one next to her was too and this one too! They were all laughing at him.

He couldn't breath, his lungs hurt. His legs gave out and he cradle his head. He didn't want to hear people laugh at him. Why were they even laughing at him? What did he even do? Did he look that ridiculous? He could feel their gaze intensifying and their laughter growing lounder.

"Stop it" he pleaded, pressing his hands harder against his ear. "Stop it" He repeated, voice barely above a whisper.

He thought he might have heard someone call his name and feel someone's arms around him. The was the faint sensation of being carried somewhere before he was put down again. However, before whoever it was could leave, he wrapped his arms around the man's chest and hold on tightly. The man in returned, hugged the redhead with one hand while the other was strocking his head while whispering words of comfort.

Slowly, Jay started to calm down and he could finally process what was going on. He was snuggled onto Cole's black hoodie (The man's chest was really comfortable) who was rubbing his head while whispering "Everything is alright. Just breath Jay. No one's laughing" continuously and softly. He also realised he was no longer in the supermarket but outside under a tree, alone and away from everyone.

"Cole?" He called out softly, the raven stopped talking as he looked at him. He smile brightly.

"Hey Jay, feeling better?" He asked looking directly into his electric blue eyes. The redhead nodded pulling himself away from his friend's chest.

"What happened?" He asked and Cole shrugged before handing Jay a tissue, who stared at it in confusion until he realised he had been crying.

"Beats me. But my guess is that you had a panicked attack" The raven said after he took the tissue. Jay wiped away the tears and blow his nose before putting the tissue in his pocket. He'll throw it when he comes across a trash can.

"That's probably it" Jay confessed and Cole nodded.

"I would have never guessed it" he admitted, stretching his arms before folding them behind his head and leaned against the tree. "You are always talking and friendly. I thought you had tons of friends"

"Thanks" Jay chuckled "But the truth is that I don't have any friends" He averted his gaze to the soft grass, Cole on the other hand was looking incredulously at him.

"You're kidding" He shook his head. "Well damn." Cole relaxed again "You've got me and Zane now, so boom, you have 2 friends"

It was Jay's turned to look at the raven incredulously.

"Seriously?"

"Yups"

And Jay hugged the living out of the man. When Jay finally released the raven (well his back was hurting with how much he tapped it) they settle down to just relaxed in silence. Jay sat, hugging his knees while Cole was laying down, arms serving as pillow with one leg folded.

Of course that didn't last long.

"So how did you find me?" Jay asked and Cole peeked one eye open, looking at him.

"I was looking for some snacks with my money share and heard all the commotion, so I went to check what it was"

"Oh."

"Hum" He closed his eye

"That reminds me, why did you strangle me when I eat your snacks?"

Cole level him with a lazy glare

"Those are mine. I already had to live one whole week without them. I don't need you eating them"

"Someone's really possessive if his food"

"And someone never shut up, you blabber-mouth"

"Hey, that was really offensive, you bottomless stomach"

"Hey! I don't eat that much!"

"Indeed, you do not eat that much" A new voice said and both looked forward to see Zane, with the bag of groceries in one hand. "Bottomless, doesn't even being to describe your appetite"

Out of comeback, Cole decided that this discussion was too childish and the raven was a grown man so therefore, he crossed his arms across his chest, and sink lower with a pout. A totally very matured reaction.

Zane chuckled at that while Jay looked disbelieving at the blond.

"Dude, you just made a joke!"

"I did?" He title his head in confusion "But I was merely stating the truth"

While Jay burst out laughing, Cole let out an indigent 'Hey!' which only fueled the redhead's laughter. Zane just blink at him still not understanding how he made a joke but end up laughing when Cole joined into the cheerful laughter as well.


Well that's it guys, let me know it you want a part 2 (Although I'll need some help then). Also, don't forget to tell me what you thought and if you've got any story idea, let me know!

To Muneen123: When I mentioned 'Of all injury he could have gotten' it was mostly because he injured his leg and therefore will be unable to quickly escape should the situation become ugly. And thanks, when people are kind and understanding like you, it hard not to make your request the next Chap. I hope this was up to your expectations!

Until next time
