Binding

He collapses, grasping for air, unable to fully expand his lungs due to to the constriction of his chest. He starts to panic, taking quick shallow breaths as they all watch him sitting there, asking if he's okay, but he can't catch his breath long enough to mutter "I'm okay," so he just nods, lying. He grabs at his chest, pulling the tight fabric away for a moment, but it doesn't help. He finally calms down, just long enough to control his breathing so he can go in the house. He half runs to the bathroom and quickly peels off the tight piece of skin so his chest can expand long enough for him to breath normal again. He sits on the floor a moment, then puts the binder back on and leaves the restroom, breathing heavily again.
