#hiding things

A whumpee being halfway through recovery, and doing well enough to come across as healthy to someone who didn’t know that they were injured, deciding to do something strenuous with their teammates without telling them they were recovering from something. The whumpee eventually pushing too far during this, and their teammates having to look after them, and eventually getting the whumpee to explain that they were still recovering from something. The rest of the team immediately forcing the whumpee to take the proper time to recover, and swearing to themselves to keep an eye on the whumpee in future so nothing like this ever happens again.

You don’t lie to the person you love. It’s the most horrible thing to do as a lover.

When the whumpee told the caretaker that they’re fine, but the caretaker suspects that they’re lying, because they’ve been moving stiffly and carefully for the past few days. The caretaker keeping a close eye on them, and catching a glimpse of colorful, ugly bruises when the whumpee’s shirt rides up when they grab something from a high shelf. The caretaker finding a quiet moment to confront them about it, and the whumpee admitting that they bruised their ribs, but they don't think anything’s actually broken. The caretaker making sure they get their ribs properly checked, and scolding them for hiding it, even though the whumpee ended up being right about it just being bruising.

When the whumpee gets sick, but instead of resting, they decide to ignore it and try to push through it. Their teammates noticing that the whumpee seems off, but not realizing that the whumpee is sick until they end up collapsing. The whumpee waking up in bed, tucked under warm blankets, and finding that all their teammates are there, worried about them. Their teammates scolding them for not resting or telling anyone that they were sick and the whumpee admitting that they thought they could push through it, because that’s what they’ve always done before. Their teammates asking them what they mean by that, and the whumpee explaining that nobody had ever cared, and that they’d always been told to push through it. Their teammates all being heartbroken by this, and making the whumpee promise to tell them if they get sick again, then caring for the whumpee as they recover, trying to show the whumpee that they care about their wellbeing.
