Hidden Injuries

"Wait - you're bleeding."

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"Okay, I have you, I have you -"

"Don't you dare pass out on me."

"You good? You look a little pale."

"Your shirt... is that blood?"

"Oh, my god, are you serious? I think it's broken!"

"Why would you hide this from us?!"

"Okay - okay, breathe. We're going to help you."

"You idiot! You could have died!"

"I'm - I'm calling an ambulance -"

"Why are you breathing so shallowly?"

"You can barely stand."

"Sit down. Right now."

"I'm going to fix you up, but you have to sit still."

"I've had worse."

"It's not that bad, really..."

"I'm just a little... light headed...."

"It's barely bleeding at all."

"Aw, man, I liked this shirt."

"Oh, yeah that's... huh. That's a lot of blood."

"I'm just gonna sit right here... for a minute..."

"My chest really... hurts..."

"I can't really breathe -"

"Ow. It's fine. Ow."

"I can handle it myself."

"Oh, that? Yeah it's just... it's just a little blood..."

"Barely touched me."

"Why are there two of you?"

"I'll be fine. I'm great. I'm - I'm fantastic. Don't worry about me! I'm just gonna go... into this really nice... warm light..."

Theres something so special. About a character saying they're "used to" something. "Im used to pain." "Im used to death." "Im used to be treated like that." "It's okay, I'm used to it." It gets me. Alskskkdwlndjcjsbbsbs

Self sacrifice in an "i can take it; you can't" way X self sacrifice in an "you can take it; and i know i can't, but it'd rather this than letting you through it" way X self sacrifice in an "neither of us can take it. it doesn't matter, 'cause its gonna be me" way

wound tending is everything. unparalleled intimacy. let me care for you. let me touch the skin around your open flesh. let me stain my hands with your blood. let me get close and breathe in the same air as you and stare into your eyes for a few seconds too long. let me make you think of me every time you see the bandage, or scar

alright this is basic but we need to talk about fever chills

knowing something’s wrong because they’ve got goosebumps in a hot bath or shower (bonus points if they get extra chilled afterwards from their wet hair)

feeling achy and shivery hours after coming in from the cold rain, unable to get warm

curled up on the couch under a blanket, asking the caretaker to turn up the heat

hugging themselves and huddling near a space heater because they’re chilled down to their bones

someone covered in blankets, but they just can’t stop their teeth from chattering

sweat-speckled foreheads poking out from under a mountain of quilts

rubbing away the goosebumps that prickle on their arms and legs

shuffling around the house with a blanket tugged around their shoulders to keep them warm

being layered in warm pajamas, a sweatshirt, thick socks, a bathrobe, two blankets, and still shivering

crawling back in bed in the middle of the day because it’s the only place they can get warm

watching tv with a blanket pulled over their head so only their face is poking out.

in the summer - shivering in the AC, wearing sweats when everyone else is in shorts and t-shirts, covering up with a blanket on a hot day

in the winter - curling up near a crackling fire to chase away the deep, teeth-rattling shakes, battling both the wintry chill outside and the internal chill in their bones.

getting violent shivers just from shifting to a cold spot in the bed

“I just can’t get warm.”

clutching a hot water bottle to their chest, desperate for the heat to sink in and warm them

shaking hands wrapping around a mug of tea or a bowl of soup, teeth clattering against the rim when they try to take a sip

sitting up in bed with a blanket clutched around their trembling shoulders while the caretaker takes their temperature

weakly asking for someone to hold them or lay with them in bed because they’re just freezing

their friend cuddling with them in bed, rubbing their back to warm them up

welcoming the hot phase of the fever because at least they’re finally warm

fever chills part 2 (a followup to this post)

forcing themselves to go to some outdoor event when they’re under the weather and shivering miserably in their coat the whole time

“how’re you feeling?” “I’m cold.”

catching a chill in damp, rainy weather. later, as the sniffles come on, they’re unable to shake the cold in their bones no matter how many blankets they wrap up in

teeth chattering against a glass thermometer

huddling in a thick bathrobe after their shower, too shivery to expose their wet skin to the air and change into warm, dry clothes

a heating pad on the highest setting, arms wrapped around it and clutching it to their chest

shivering deep internal shivers in the core of their gut that can’t be touched by external heat

goosebumps that creep and crawl across their skin

laying on the heating vent or by the radiator

shoulders hunched up to their ears to try and preserve body heat

enlisting their pet to lay on them because they’re so warm

when it’s the early stages of the fever, and they’re not shivering yet—they just feel chilled to their bones

big sweatshirts over two other layers of clothing, arms tightly folded against their body

blankets pulled up to their nose and staying in bed all day to try and keep warm

that horrible feeling when they’re sweating from their fever, then their layers ofclothes get damp, then they’re damp AND cold when the chills come back
