#overwhelmed whumpee

When the whumpee is exhausted, but they have too much to do to allow themself a break. Them trying to keep working, but eventually falling asleep in a random spot. The caretaker finding them there, and deciding that moving them probably won’t work well, so they go find a blanket and a pillow. Them trying to get the pillow under the whumpee’s head without waking them up, and then covering them in the blanket. The whumpee not waking up, and sleeping there for several hours. Them waking up hours later, and immediately freaking out, because they’ve got to be so far behind on their work, but when they go to start working again, they find that the caretaker has taken care of most of it while they slept.

When the whumpee is the team leader and they try to seem tough in front of their teammates, but when their teammates rescue them from the whumper, they can’t hide that they’re in bad shape. Their teammates checking them over quickly, and the whumpee trying to claim that they can walk, but their teammates all ignoring them, and the strongest one picking them up carefully. The whumpee trying to hide that even being carried hurts, but not being able to stop themself from making pained noises whenever they get slightly jostled. Their teammate apologizing, and trying to be as gentle as possible, and the whumpee hiding their face in their teammate’s shirt as they start to cry, the combination of the pain and the relief of being rescued just too much.
