#semi conscious whumpee
zoethehead · 2 months
Text
A whumpee who was turned into a dangerous monster after being forced to transform. Their body warps and transforms painfully into a mindless beast that can only heed the words of their captor.
-
Until one day, when the Whumpee's fighting a group of people, the caretaker uses some magic on the whumpee, thinking that it's just another being made of darkness; when surprise, surprise. The whumpee shrieks out in pain as they painfully turn back to their human form and collapse to the grass beneath them, passing out as their world grows black before their eyes again.
-
The caretaker rushes over, picking up the whumpee, seeing the poor state that they were in; half conscious and covered in bruises and cuts. The whumpee's carried off somewhere safe where they can maybe fully heal from the extent of their injuries.

Semi
Warnings: explosion, fire, head injury, blood
Nothing made sense. Nothing made sense to Whumpee as the world erupted into flames. Nothing made sense to Whumpee as sounds crashed in and out, as their vision went in and out of focus. What had happened?
As Whumpee tried to clear their vision, blinking hard against something wet and warm, Caretaker's face suddenly loomed in front of them. Whumpee could see Caretaker's lips moving, but the sound was disconnected.
"Can you......me?" Caretaker's voice was distant. And frantic. What had happened?
Whumpee groaned and blinked again, letting their eyes rest. They were tired. So tired. Caretaker's hand tapping their cheek had them opening their eyes once more.
"None of that," Caretaker's voice was clearer. Their eyes were tight with worry.
"Wha?"
"Whumper set off a bomb. You hit your head. Everything's on fire." Whumpee could suddenly hear Caretaker with crystal clarity.
Whumpee blinked. That made sense. "Whumper?"
Caretaker shook their head. "Doesn't matter. You're what matters. I need to get you out of here. Just stay with me, Whumpee."
"'m tired." Their eyelids were so heavy. The wetness was warm against their cheek. Blood. Blood was flowing down their face. That was the warm wetness. They were bleeding.
"I know you are," Caretaker said as they started to drag Whumpee. Whumpee was so much bigger than Caretaker. There was no way Caretaker was going to be able to carry them. "But, I need you to stay awake. Stay with me, Whumpee."
Whumpee grunted in response. They were determined to stay awake. If Caretaker was working hard to get them out of there, Whumpee could work hard to stay awake. For Caretaker.

Semi-conscious
day 12 of @febuwhump
hero and villain
504 words
warnings: collapsed building, cursing
part two
~
Hero puts his hands over his ears, trying to block out the ringing. He whimpers, curling into himself when it makes it worse. 
Dust falls in front of him, coating his clothes and the ground. He groans and tries to stand up. “Villain?” 
He waits for an answer, then calls out again, head pounding with the effort. “Villain? Where are you?” 
A pain in his ribs steals the importance of finding Villain and he winces. “What the fuck happened?” 
He pulls his shirt up and finds a red, angry bruise spreading over his torso. Pursing his lips, he pokes gently at the bruise and sighs in relief when he doesn’t feel any broken bones. He lets his shirt drop and starts to stand up, arm wrapped around his torso. 
“Villain?” He calls out again. “Come on, now isn’t the time for the silent treatment.” 
He starts to dig around in the debris, carefully shifting pieces to check underneath them. He lifts up a large slab of concrete and nearly drops it when he sees Villain. 
Her clothes are torn, revealing cuts and bruises on her skin. Her hair is in her face, obscuring it from Hero’s view. Her chest slowly rises and falls, batting away at the despair growing in Hero’s stomach. 
Using the last of his strength, Hero lifts the slab over his head and tosses it over Villain, sending it crashing on the other side of her. 
She startles, eyes barely opening. She mumbles something incoherent and turns her head away from the crash. Hero rushes to her side, ignoring the pain shooting from his ribs. “Hey, it’s alright. It’s just me.” 
She leans into his touch, muttering something. He brushes the hair out of her face and tries to calm her down, “You’re alright. We’ve just gotta find a way outta here, ok?” 
She nods weakly and raises her hand out to him. He takes it and pulls her over his shoulder, ignoring the way he can feel his ribs shifting in his chest. 
Her arms hang limp over his back, hitting his calves with every step, but they’re slowly making it to safety. 
“What happened?” Villain asks, voice barely audible over the ringing in Hero’s ears. 
Hero shakes his head and keeps running, “No idea. Kinda hoping you knew. Was anyone else home?” 
Villain makes a sound that might be considered a laugh, “Was anyone else home when I texted you to come meet up? Yeah, no. The kids are with their grandma and…Henchman hates your guts, if she found out you were coming over, she’d have been parked on the steps to kill you.” 
“I thought you were gonna tell her?” Hero says, his steps faltering a little. 
“Never the right time.” 
Hero pushes open the door and stands in the doorframe, taking in the sunlight hitting his face. He squints his eyes open and focuses on a familiar truck in the driveway. 
“Sidekick?” Hero mutters, helping Villain off his shoulder and onto her feet. “What’s he doing here?”

Febuwhump 2024 Day 12
Semi Conscious
Kira blinked awake, her body stiff. "Hey, it's okay." I91 rubbed her wings.
"Mm," she tried to speak but was unable to. "Mmh!"
"Hey, hey. It's okay, it's just a muzzle. They don't want you to hurt anyone accidentally." She whined and tried to move. I91 rubbed the girl's head. "You don't have to worry, nobody is going to come in." The girl's eyes grew heavy, I91's words faded in and out with each blink. "It's okay, you can rest." Kira stayed still and fell asleep quickly.

Whumpee's only semi-conscious when they're rescued. Caretaker tries desperately to hug them, but whumpee doesn't have energy to lift their arms; so caretaker half-drapes them across their chest in their lap to get to hold them.

How to Make Caretaker's Heart Sink
Something that made Caretaker's chest sink and feel heavy and painful
When Caretaker saw Whumpee for the first time after disappearing for a long time, he was very weak and even unconscious,
When Caretaker saw Whumpee lying still on his bed, too sick and tired to even open his eyes and make a sound,
When Caretaker saw Whumpee's weak hand, he moved around looking for Caretaker's hand because he didn't want to leave it,
When Caretaker saw Whumpee, who struggled because he was uncomfortable, he tried to remove the medical device while he was in a semi-conscious phase,
When Caretaker saw Whumpee, who had to be helped even just to drink,
When Caretaker saw Whumpee screaming in fear in the middle of the night,
When Caretaker saw Whumpee, who was uncomfortable while sleeping, moving restlessly in his delirium
When Caretaker saw Whumpee's blank stare,
When Caretaker bathing and putting clean clothes on Whumpee,
When Caretaker saw Whumpee crying silently,
When Caretaker saw Whumpee, who was confused about the things he had forgotten due to trauma,
When Caretaker heard Whumpee groan in pain while sleeping,
When Caretaker heard weak words from Whumpee's mouth, like "Hurt" "Water "Help me" "I can't breathe" "My body feels heavy" "My head feels spinning",
When Caretaker felt Whumpee's weak and thin body in her arms,
When Caretaker saw Whumpee's body, which was covered in bandages and bruises,
Is there anything else to add?

Febuwhump Day 12: Semi-conscious
Content warning: Delirious whumpee
They found Whumpee in the hospital parking lot, curled up in the backseat of an empty car.
It was unbelievable how far they'd gotten. With no shoes, a system addled with enough painkillers to leave someone twice their size seeing stars, and fresh stitches in their stomach, Whumpee had managed to avoid a dozen nurses and sneak out undetected. Nobody had even realized they were gone until Caretaker had come to visit them. The entire hospital had been in a panic looking for them ever since. 
If Caretaker hadn't just spent the last half hour frantically looking for them, they might've been impressed.
Carefully, Caretaker approached the side opposite Whumpee, knocking gently on the glass in hopes of not starting them. Whumpee flinched hard, eyes darting to the source of the noise. For a long moment they stared, pupils blown so wide their eyes looked black. They kept staring, even as their shoulders slumped, fear in their eyes consumed by a hazy listlessness once more. They didn’t move to get out of the car.
Consequences of barging into a stranger's car be damned, Caretaker opened the car door and slipped inside, scooting close to Whumpee. Whumpee simply watched then. 
They looked Whumpee over, sagging in relief when they saw that, beyond a few smugges on their hospital gown, they were unharmed beyond their previous injuries.
Whumpee didn’t speak, only stared with glassy eyes. Caretaker broke the silence. 
"So," they started, trying to sound casual. "Why'd you leave the hospital?"
Whumpee’s gaze slides off of Caretaker, unfocusing. “I…It was…bad in there,” their words were slow and trailing, as if they were struggling to follow their own train of thought. “They wanna hurt me.”
Caretaker reached over and took hold of Whumpee’s hand, rubbing circles into bruised knuckles. They gave the hand a squeeze, silently urging Whumpee to calm down ."Hun, everything's okay, you're just a little confused right now. The doctors want to help you, and they can't do that if you run away."
Whumpee only shook their head. The movement, it seemed, was too much for them to handle. They slowly tilted to the side, body slumping to rest limply against Caretaker’s side, head still faintly shaking. They let out a pathetic whine.
Caretaker had no idea how they’d managed to escape the hospital in their state. Gently, they moved Whumpee’s head to rest more comfortably on their shoulder, using their free hand to text a message confirming they’d found Whumpee in one piece. 
They looked over to Whumpee, slumped limply onto their shoulder. They were bruised and battered, eyes clouded and unfocused, but they were alive. They were safe, and if it took them time to realize it, then Caretaker would give them that time. 
"We'll stay in here until you're ready, okay?"
Whumpee murmured something in response, eyes fluttering shut.

Another hurt/comfort aesthetic: half-closed eyes
Feverish from an infected injury, with glazed eyes rolling erratically under half-closed lids; they’re semi-conscious and barely coherent, moaning softly in pain, limbs writhing weakly, and they only quiet when Caretaker holds their hand / strokes their forehead / cradles their head in their lap.
Eyes narrowed, head bowed and shoulders hunched against the driving rain/snow, barely able to make out the way in front of them as they constantly blink precipitation out of their eyes, stumbling with pain/fatigue as they flee from danger or seek out safety/shelter.
Sinking down into the chair, letting their head fall back and their eyelids drift downwards and all the tension in their body melt away, just enjoying being warm and dry and safe after a harrowing journey or a difficult mission.
Exhausted caretaker who has stayed at whumpee’s side all night listening anxiously for each rasping breath, watching each shallow rise and fall of their torn and bloody chest; again and again caretaker feels their eyelids start to close and their head start to droop but each time they jerk themself awake...

The whumpee laid in a bed, their injuries wrapped with gauze and a blanket placed atop their body. They couldn't move much, the only strength they had was to occasionally toss and turn on the bed. The caretaker kept vigil over the whumpee, tending to their injuries and mopping the whumpee's forehead with a damp cloth to halt the fever. the only waking moments of the whumpee were dizzy and unclear, they felt lightheaded, their vision unclear, and their body weak. Muffled voices were the only thing to comfort their aching and weak body.
The caretaker had no idea why the whumpee was found covered in blood and having been badly tortured and tied up; but the caretaker just wanted the whumpee to be safe and feel safe, so they didn't ask any questions.

semi-conscious
@febuwhump day 16
warnings: hospital setting
characters: hero, villain
222 words
---
Villain sat on the uncomfortable hospital chair, hands fidgeting anxiously as his foot tapped in sync with the heart monitor. He stood up and huffed, “Come on, Hero. You gotta wake up.” 
He stared at her, as if him saying that for the umpteenth time since sitting next to her would wake her up. Sighing, he sat back down and stretched, “Yeah. That’s what I expected.” 
He pulled his legs up to his chest and rested his chin on his knees, closing his eyes, “Wake me up if anything fun happens, yeah?” he whispered. 
“Villain?” Hero rasped, “What’s going on?” 
His head shot up, “You’re awake! Let me go get a nurse!” 
“No,” Hero protested, “Don’t leave. Where are we?”
He stood up and held her hand, “We’re in the hospital, don’t you remember?” 
She squeezed his hand and her eyes fluttered, “I-I don’t think so. Why are we here?” she tried to push herself up with her elbows, “Am I ok?” 
Villain put his hand on her shoulder and pushed down, “Nothing you can’t manage. Why don’t you go back to sleep, yeah?” 
She shook her head weakly, muttering objections, but Villain gave her a look they both knew well. “Go back to sleep. I’ll be here when you wake up,” he whispered, brushing hair out of her face, “I promise.”

Febuwhump 2023 Day 16
Semi Conscious
     The light subsided, leaving Kira alone and in the woods. She tried to move, but her body refused. Her breathing grew shallow as her vision darkened. She didn't know how much time passed in silence before she heard footsteps. A voice spoke, but Kira couldn't identify or distinguish it. Black boots came in front of her, she tried to look up but everything grew blurry. All she could make out was blue hair. More people slowly approached her, she whined causing some to flinch. The girl was picked up by a figure with dark blue hair. She tried to see where she was going before she completely blacked out.

The Caretaker leans their head back against a concrete wall, trying for what feels like the hundredth time today to forget where they are. They consciously suppress any feelings that rise up - any wondering about the Whumpee, about themselves, or about the future - like a parent protecting their child, except the enemy is their mind and the child is their soul. The only thing worse than being brought broken people to fix is the waiting between them - then there’s always the lurking fear that it will be someone they know and care about. The door to the locked room that holds the Caretaker bursts open with unusual urgency, causing the Caretaker to jump to their feet. They watch as two people drag someone in who’s unable to find their own footing, their head hardly held up and bloodied hands barely curling under their own power. It’s only when a panicked henchman screams “Do something!” that the Caretaker realizes they’ve brought in the Whumper. The Caretaker pauses in shock as one henchman tries to hold the Whumper’s head up by their chin while the other impatiently grabs at the Caretaker’s shirt with rage: “Do something!” The Caretaker nods and scrambles forward to kneel in front of the semi-conscious Whumper, putting their own hands on their sweat-drenched head to steady it. They try to find the Whumper’s pupils between strands of hair and blood, and when they do they see their normally bright but ice cold eyes as dim, faded, and wandering. Their eyes are like two lost souls stuck in an endless loop of moving one way then jumping back, again and again. “You know what to do, right?” the henchman holding the Whumper pleads, and the Caretaker sees them as equally hapless. The Caretaker just nods and directs them to a table as they take in their own shaky breath, not ready to address how it feels to be seeing this person - of all people - need their help.
