#clingy whumpee

When the whumpee is finally rescued from the whumper, and they end up clinging to the caretaker, not even letting go as they get patched up. The caretaker just holding them close, gently maneuvering them to let the medics care for them without making them let go, and running gentle fingers through the whumpee’s hair to comfort them. The whumpee falling asleep as the medics work, and still clinging to the caretaker, hands gripping their shirt even while they sleep. The caretaker gently settling into bed with the whumpee after the medics are done, eventually falling asleep, and letting the whumpee cling to them all night, hoping it helps them feel safe.
