// blood, intimate whumper, knife, torture

The act of two people pressing their foreheads together, but in a whump scenario.

Caretaker holding Whumpee in their arms, keeping pressure on a wound and touching their foreheads together as Whumpee tries so hard to stay awake. Caretaker whispering, “Come on. Stay with me. You’re okay,” while Whumpee struggles to breathe and the ground gets wet with blood.

But also.

Whumper touching foreheads with Whumpee. Whumper’s eyes are open, staring at Whumpee’s squeezed closed eyelids as they cry and try to flinch back even though the back of their head is pressed into the table already and they know damn well there’s nowhere to go. Whumper grinning, wanting to be as close to Whumpee as possible so they can witness every tear as they twist their knife even deeper into Whumpee. Whumpee finally opening their eyes just to find themselves up close and personal with the crazed look on Whumper’s face. Both of them panting into each other’s mouths but never kissing. Just being close for the sake of being close.

why must i Write Words? is it not enough to imagine, passionately,

[icarusignite]

Content: Death wish, wounds/injuries, begging.

"Please. Please, I- I don't wanna go on," Whumpee sobbed, feeling their body involuntarily writhing against the ground as blood seeped out from the wound in their stomach. "Please. Don't call the paramedics. They'll just- they'll do their best to heal me and it'll be for nothing, you know? They've got far better things to be doing. I- I wa-anna go."

"Whumpee..." Caretaker whispered, gently cradling Whumpee's face in the palm of their hand as tears fell down their face and onto Whumpee's cheeks. "Please don't ask me to do that."

"Please," Whumpee continued to insist, and their fingers gently pushed Caretaker's phone out of their hand as they frantically slid it out of their pocket. "Please, just let me go. This- forcing me to keep living when I am beyond saving is more selfish than anything else you could do right now. Just- just be with me? Be with me and let me have my last moments be with you."
