Whumpee blinked. The room where he was lying was dimly lit at that night, and he could hear the machine that recorded his heartbeat beeping steadily. Whumpee was a little confused, but he immediately remembered that this afternoon he had been transferred from the ICU to this ward. After that, he fell asleep and only woke up again now.
Suddenly, Whumpee felt someone's soft hand caressing his cheek. Whumpee glanced over and found Caretaker there, smiling warmly to greet him.
"You awake, Whumpee? Need something? Maybe you'd like a drink?"
Whumpee nodded. Caretaker swiftly took the water bottle with a straw from the nightstand beside the bed. Slowly, Caretaker removed Whumpee's oxygen mask and helped him drink. Whumpee took a slow sip of water from the straw before letting go, and Caretaker put the oxygen mask back on Whumpee's face.
Whumpee struggled a little, perhaps feeling uncomfortable with the air that kept blowing in his face. However, Whumpee also understands that he needs it. After a few breaths, Whumpee looked back at Caretaker. Caretaker smiled and took Whumpee's hand. Whumpee squeezed her back with as much strength as he could muster.
"You can sleep again, Whumpee. You need that. Even though you're out of the ICU, your body is still weak. You still need lots of rest, and you deserve it," said Caretaker gently. "It's okay. You're safe; we're all safe."
A tear hung from the corner of Whumpee's eye, and Caretaker wiped it away carefully. After that, the hand stroked Whumpee's hair lovingly. Even though Whumpee knew there were two other team members asleep on the couch and the rest outside, seeing Caretaker smiling by his side and holding his hand made Whumpee feel safe.
"You'll be back to normal soon, I promise. Get some rest, okay?" Caretaker planted a kiss on Whumpee's forehead. "Thank you for protecting us. Now, let us take care of you."
Whumpee smiled and closed his eyes. He felt calm. He felt at peace. He knows he is safe and loved.

tasty tasty little whump detail: someone gently adjusting an oxygen mask to hospitalised whumpee’s face, while cupping their face, caressing the straps, and stroking their hair. bonus points if whumpee is all sleepy and delirious and caretaker looks at them so so lovingly

thinking about blood pooling in between fingers as whumpee puts pressure on their injured limb. crimson stains the floor and whumpee is unable to look at the raw-edged wound— terrified, slightly out of it. breaths coming in shorter and shorter gasps until they double over, unconscious. and the blood continues to drip in rivets down their skin

Whump Prompt #1280
Whumptober #12: Cold Compress
"You did a good job, pal. I'm so proud of you." The family figure says, wiping the whumpees forehead with a cool cloth.
The whumpee had pushed themselves too far - took one more risk that was fruitful yet a detriment to their own health.
"Just rest, we'll get you better in no time. Who else is going to annoy [character]?"
"I- I don't-"
"Shh, sh, it's alright. Save your breath, your lungs need it."
"Its h-hard to breathe."
"I know, I know, it just feels like that - but keep breathing and the oxygen mask will do the rest. Just sleep, you'll feel better when you wake up."
"Promise?"
"Of course, pal. I promise."
[Bonus points if the caretaker did accidentally lie to the whumpee as their condition deteriorates overnight...]
