#overworked 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 completely exhausted, but they have an event they have no choice but to get through. The caretaker knowing that the whumpee isn’t doing well, and doing everything they can to help them get through it, worrying about them the entire time. As soon as the event is over, the caretaker quickly getting the whumpee home so they can rest, and the whumpee not arguing, grateful that the caretaker is helping them. The whumpee letting the caretaker guide them to bed, and letting them fuss over them as they fall asleep, knowing that they didn’t need to worry about anything, because the caretaker will take care of them.
When the whumpee has work that they absolutely have to finish, but they’re exhausted, and it’s starting to interfere with their ability to finish the work. The caretaker doing what they can to help and support them, and the whumpee somehow managing to push through it. As soon as the whumpee’s done, the caretaker fussing over them, and ushering them off to rest. The whumpee falling asleep the second they lay down, and the caretaker tucking them in gently, so they don’t get cold while they sleep.
