[ Thankfully, the heaving doesn't last incredibly long, not nearly as much as the coughing does. Still, it leave his mouth sour and metallic, and the coughing is incessant. It's never been this bad. He pushed himself a little too hard in his panic, and he knows it. But if it meant that his brother didn't suffocate in front of him--
The physical strain of the coughing and retching and the emotional strain of what just happened combine, and the tears from before don't stop, streaming down his cheeks as he continues to cough. Clutching at Clive's chest, his brother's skin ends up getting the worst of the blood splatter - sorry - and he feels almost lightheaded from the gasping for breath he's being forced to do.
He can hear Clive begging Will over it all, and weakly, he tries to shake his head. No, no, Will has already strained himself, he'll be okay, he just needs time to calm the cough. But he knows it will fall on deaf ears... so he doesn't push it more than that. He and Clive are already touching - if Will wants to try it, he won't stop him. He can't. ]
