Whump Fan Since Birth

“oh god, oh god, stay with me!”

“keep your eyes open! you’re okay! damn it, you’re okay!”

“i’ve got you, i’ve got you, i’ve got you, i’ve got you— it’s alright, i’ve got you!”

“i know it hurts. i know, honey, it’s okay.”

“it’s all gonna be fine, just stay with me, just stay awake, please!”

“i love you. i love you so much, whatever happens, just remember that, okay?”

Whumpee sniffled a little.

"I won't say I told you so", Whumper leaned forward and gently kissed the knee, "it's a waste of breath... I've learned that now. Please just be careful. You're really not meant to be outside. Thankfully, it was only a few moments, and this was the worst thing that happened."

Whumpee sighed sadly, "I won't try again. I just wanted to see it."

"My dear, the lab is your home... why would you want to leave it or even run away from your home?", Whumper grunted as they stood, "the outside is no place for you. I hope you see that now."

"I don't want to run... I just want to see", Whumpee sighed sadly, "can I have a lollipop?"

"Yes, you may have one. I am going to turn on your ankle monitor. Please don't leave the facility. I don't want a lock down caused by you", Whumper grabbed a bowl of candy and let Whumpee pick their treat, "the ankle monitor will be there to track you... understood?"

"Yes Doc", Whumpee smiled, "thankyou."

Whumpee carried their teddy bear through the halls of the facility while they enjoyed their lollipop.

"There's my ball", Whumpee picked up their toy, "Doc wouldn't like me leaving my toys out like this."

Whumpee bounced the ball a few times as they wandered the halls until they reached the front door of the facility.

"Whumpee, knock it off", a guard looked up from the desk by the front door, "you're being a pest."

"Mm... sorry", Whumpee set the ball and their teddy down. They looked at the door longingly, then threw their treat wrapper away in the trash.

"Don't even think about it. I have to sit here now because of you. I'm not happy with you", the guard frowned.

"I-I'm sorry", Whumpee whispered, "I just wanted to feel it, that's all."

"Go away. You don't need to be this close to the door", the guard stood angrily.

"I'm going to grab my toys first", Whumpee looked at them with a timid sterness.

The guard huffed through their nose, and walked toward Whumpee.

Whumpee tripped and fell to the floor while backing away.

"Doc should just lock you and the other lab rats in freaking cages, but no, they let you roam freely and cause a nuisance", the guard grabbed Whumpee's ball and teddy. They walked towards the front door and triggered the door to open.

Whumpee watched as the guard threw the ball out, then tore the bear in two before throwing it out as well.

"No", Whumpee screamed in terror.

Whumpee ran to the door, only being stopped by the guard grabbing them.

"Don't even think about it", the guard pulled them back by their arm, "you're a lab rat who has gotten used to being spoiled and getting their way. That's not happening with me."

Whumpee sobbed as they pulled away, "let me go", they pleaded loudly, "you're messing up my bandages."

This caught the attention of a few nearby guards.

The guard suddenly slipped and lost their hold on Whumpee.

Whumpee fell to the floor and scrambled back, accidentally going out the front door.

Their bandage had unraveled and was now and was hanging from the guard's hand and on the floor.

"No", the guard yelled as the door slammed shut, and alarms sounded, "I'm going to kill you."

Whumpee stood weakly, blood trinkled down from the bandaid on their knee. They picked up the two pieces of their bear and watched as several guards ran to the door and attempted to open it.

"Whumpee stay right there", one of the nicer guards talked gently, "don't worry, we will be able to get you back in here in a minute, just stay right there."

"No", Whumpee backed away shyly, their eyes connected with the mean guard's, "they're going to kill me", Whumpee's voice cracked.

"Whumpee, don't... please don't run", the nice guard pleaded as Whumpee backed away even farther, "we need to get you back to safety. Your arm... i-its unbandaged. Why is their arm unbandaged?"

Whumpee wiped their eyes and huffed. They turned and shakingly took a few steps. They ran when they heard someone bang on the door.

"NOOO!!", the guards, except the mean one, yelled when Whumpee ran away.

"You have ten seconds to tell me what happened", the nice guard turned to the mean one, "they looked petrified of you. I know you were getting after them. I heard the commotion."

Whumper appeared in the doorway, "better yet, I would like to watch the video", Whumper pointed at a camera, "I'm glad I installed those, they even have sound. Let's see why my lab rat felt the need to run away."

The guard fearfully gulped.

Whumpee held their bear close to them as they hurried down the sidewalk.

"They.... Doc is going to be mad at me", Whumpee stopped suddenly and looked back, "but the guard."

Whumpee looked down the sidewalk again, "I've never made it this far. My arm feels weird."

Whumper walked away from the body of the guard.

"Dispose of them", Whumper hissed, "have we been able to undo the lock down?"

"Not yet... we are working as fast as we can" the guard looked fearfully at the gnarled face of the corpse.

"My lab rat is out amongst civilians. They are now surrounded by germs and diseases that their body is not use to, including their unbandaged arm. Not to mention they will stick out like a sore thumb amongst the civilians", Whumper clenched their jaw, "it is imperative that we get them back here quickly, before police are called for an escaped hospital patient."

Whumpee had stumbled across a park.

A few families were enjoying the late evening weather.

Whumpee cautiously limped to the swings and sat down.

"Woe", Whumpee wobbled slightly, "oh, they move?"

Whumpee watched a kid nearby who was going back and forth on a different set of swings.

"H-how do you...?", Whumpee made several attempts to swing like the kid was doing, but they couldn't figure it out.

They looked down at their arm. It felt like their skin was blistering without the protection of the bandages.

Whumpee watched as the kid jumped off and ran for their family.

"I wonder what that feels like as well", Whumpee watched them as the family packed their things to leave.

Whumpee then saw Whumper staring at them from the sidewalk. Arms folded against their chest in frustration.

"I'm in trouble", Whumpee gulped.

Whumper walked toward Whumpee and stood in front of them.

"I'm not going to yell, especially not out here with civilians, but how dare you...", Whumper watched as Whumpee's eyes darted from them and to the family, "you know better than to leave."

"I-I'm sorry, I-I was scared... and sad... and hurt", Whumpee looked back at Whumper, "then I found this place. I felt like a normal person for a little bit."

"Whumpee, I'm sorry, but you're not normal", Whumper sighed, "you look like an escaped mental patient. Wrapped in bandages, wearing scrubs, socks.... ripped teddy bear."

"What is it like to have a family", Whumpee looked back at Whumper after the family finally left.

Whumper sighed, "i-it can't be much different than at the lab. All of us there are kind of like your family."

"Do families rip your teddy bears apart out of frustration", Whumpee looked at the bear sadly.

"No, but they do restitch them back up for you. I'll do that after your sanitary bath", Whumper sighed.

"Bath?", Whumpee frowned.

"Yes, your immune system is not use to everything out here. You've lived your entire life in the facility. You will more than likely be getting sick in a few days. I mean, look at you. Who knows what else has sat on that swing."

Whumpee looked down, "how do you use this, by the way? I couldn't figure it out."

Whumper sighed, and walked to the empty swing, "if I show you... you have to promise to come back with me without causing a scene."

Whumpee quickly nodded.

Whumper sat down, a small grimace etched on their face, "so gross", they mumbled.

"I normally would take a few steps back then run forward. After that, you can pump your legs, or continue to use the ground to run and keep moving", Whumper frowned, "I'm a little too old for this now though."

Whumpee tried to copy Whumper and was able to get going a little faster.

"This is really fun", Whumpee giggled, "can I try jumping off, I saw one of the kids do it."

"No you may not, no more injuries today", Whumper stood, and collected the bear, "come along, maybe I'll install a swing inside of the facility for you and the test subjects to enjoy."

"Really, I would like that", Whumpee swung back and forth, "how d... how do you stop?"

Whumper led Whumpee into a private room.

"You wait right here", Whumper ordered, "if you move...."

"I won't move, I'm already in enough trouble", Whumpee looked down, "may I sit though?"

"You may", Whumper sighed, "here is your bear, I will stitch it back up after it is sanitized."

Whumper went into a second room, placed their clothes into a bag, and took a sanitary shower.

Whumpee giggled when Whumper came in with a hazmat suit on.

"Don't laugh, you'll be wearing one while we walk to your isolation room", Whumper sighed.

"Isolation... I'm being isolated?", Whumpee quickly gulped.

"Yep, I don't know what you breathed in. I'm already waiting for you to get sick. You could take out my entire group of test subjects if you bring in any germs", Whumper turned, "come on lets get you cleaned up."

Whumpee grumbled as Whumper roughly cleaned them.

"Ow", Whumpee complained.

"Stop complaining, it could be worse", Whumper sighed.

"Worse then having your clothes taken off, stood in a shower, and scrubbed clean by the scientists doctor", Whumpee grumbled.

"Oh stop, you've had worse then", Whumper sprayed Whumpee down, "alright, you are good to go."

"My bear?", Whumpee looked at the bag marked for cleaning, along with their clothes.

"It will be returned to you after its sanitized and and sewn", Whumper pulled out a hazmat suit for Whumpee, "put it on."

Whumpee looked at the suit with disgust.

"Shouldn't have run", Whumper pushed the suit into Whumpee's hands.

"Bleh" Whumpee smelt it.

"You'll be fine", Whumper walked past them, "put it on. You can take another shower in the isolation room. A few of your things have already been moved. You just need to bear the suit for five minutes."

Whumpee pouted as they got into the suit.

"Much better, come on", Whumper opened the door.

Whumpee looked at their teddy one last time.

"I will bring it to you once I'm done. You are very much slowing me down right now", Whumper frowned.

Whumpee nodded sadly and followed.

Whumpee sat against the wall of the isolation room. They had taken a second shower to help them relax.

They had wrapped the towel around themself as a cover until clothes could be provided.

"Dinner", a tiny door opened, and a meal tray was slid in.

Whumpee hurried to the tray and started to eat.

They looked up when the door opened again.

"Here" Whumper's voice came from the other side, "new scrubs and your bear is fixed."

A bag was stuffed through.

"Thankyou", Whumpee looked under the hole.

"You're welcome", Whumper answered, "I'll wait to wrap the bandages on your arms. Let your arms breathe while you're isolated", Whumper explained before closing the door.

Whumpee quickly got their bear and looked it over.

"Doc fixed you well", Whumpee cuddled it, "I guess it's me and you for a few days."

Whumpee sighed, "at least I finally got to see the outside. Maybe I'll get to see it again someday."

Taglist. As always please let me know if you want to be added or taken off of the list. It's not a problem at all.

The whumpee with that cold, damp rag laid gently across his forehead. His features contorted, expression pained even in sleep as a fever absolutely siphons his strength. The flushed face, furrowed brow. Sweat never seeming to stop as his body burns up, shivering despite the heat

Whumpee concerned they just threw up in caretaker's car/house/etc., but caretaker is too worried about whumpee's health to be annoyed by the mess.

(As an aside, caretaker having to reassure whumpee that it's okay!!)

Normally stoic/maybe even rude caretaker completely flipping when whumpee is sick

love this! maybe even it's because the injury/illness is serious enough to warrant that extra care and whumpee thinks that tenderness is going to be taken away as soon as the danger has passed, but then it does. the fever breaks, and they still make them stay in bed and take care of everything for them. whumpee wakes up in the hospital, mostly fine now, and stoic/rude caretaker shows up and visits them. they even bring them something nice like a comfort item from home or something to do to combat the boredom or some candy they're not supposed to have just so they have something nice to eat that's not hospital food. just. measured caring from an unexpected source is literally my fav trope.

But this patient, while absently polite in interactions, never spoke beyond a thank you, nod, or associated flimsy pleasantry.

The doctors liked to think they were patient but it only took a week for irritation to rise and the levels of medication to join in suit.

After all, they were told time and time again, ‘cooperation is paramount’.

The new patient swallowed the additional tablets that appeared in their paper cup without surprise, and they followed without question when it came time to go to the isolation ward. Later, they didn’t even protest the trading of a uniform pajama set for the insubstantial back tied gown.

Or if the people around whumpee are begging them to stay awake. Shaking them, shouting their name. Only for whumpee to catch half of their words as they slip away.

But if both of these scenarios are combined…chefs kiss 😚

When team is on the run from Whumper, but Whumpee gets shot, they find an abandoned where house to take shelter in and tend to Whumpee's wounds. They a good distance from Whumper, but still need to be quite. Medic know that digging out the bullet will be painful, Whumpee does too, but is sure she's strong enough to hold in her screams. Caretaker is staying with whumpee, while medic was preparing the necessary supplies.

"Caretaker. Can you come over here" Medic called

"Sure" Caretaker said as they got up.

Caretaker came back with some pills, and handed them to Whumpee.

"What's this?" Whumpee asked

"Medic said you need to take them" said Caretaker "risk of infection, I don't know"

Whumpee shrugged and swallowed the pill, and Caretaker sat next to them.

Within a few minutes whumpee was getting drowsy, and then, they were out.

"Medic! Something wrong!" Caretaker shouted, medic came rushing over, and saw Whumpee was unconscious. With a sigh of relief he said "oh no, that supposed to happen." When Caretaker looked confused, medic explained "the pills were to knock her out. I know she thinks she can manage, but we can't risk getting caught."

Infuriated, Caretaker just about shouted "you Said they were for infection!"

Caretaker calmly cut them off "I told you to tell her it was for infection. She wouldn't take then if she knew, and you couldn't hang lying to her" Caretaker wasn't as mad now, they just felt betrayed "now how about you stand guard. We should be safe, but I'd feel better knowing we had a lookout" Medic said pulling on his gloves "besides, you're not clean, and there is still a very real risk of infection."
