Little headcanons to reader having knee pain (aka my left knee pain) and different Shawn hatosy characters reacting to it. Reader is afab/fem but it can be reader as gender neutral (I think, I'm sorry if not)
• He doesn't notice it right away, he was in prison overall for three damn years. Smurf gave him a small round up after he asked her. She said you would "play it down too much" while they both saw you fucking limping to get a ice pack
• He started seeing it after that. The way you favored the right over the left leg. Always trying to sit and when you can't then the weight comes to right, never the left.
• Buys extra ice packs because Smurf only had two. When you suddenly find eight in the freezer all you can do is smile gently before wrapping it in a cloth.
• Before the job he would make sure you'll stay at his little hotel room, making everything ready so you wouldn't need to move that much
•When needed he would pick you up for stairs. Don't get me wrong he finds it cute how you limp up the stairs but he doesn't like to hear you groan in pain and not in pleasure.
• He wouldn't tease you about it. He knows you're in pain and that's bad, he wouldn't want to worsen your mood in any way
• Tries giving you a knee massage..You both don't understand how that should work tho so he just gets you another ice pack
• He's studying you all the time. Searching for anything to give him a sight if you're in pain or not so he doesn't have to ask.
• Hes on the night shift, give him some slack for not seeing you walk that much but he does notice how you'll always lay up your left leg
• He knows how it is to have pain in the leg or the knee, so he thought you would come to him with it. Your personal damn doctor but nope. He knows you're stubborn about it
• Gets the hint completely when coming home and seeing you with a ice pack on the knee, asleep.
• When you're awake and you known you can't back out anymore he gently touches around your knee, making sure there is no swelling or difference by the other knee
• He doesn't scold you about it, about hidden the fact you're in pain - His pain killers, the only one around the house, didn't go less so he knows you didn't take them
• Teases you about it altough they're more meant to lighting your mood
• Asks around the hospital for a similar case like yours
• It was in a hunt he noticed it first. You were slower than usual, leaning more against trees than before
• He was like a damn guard dog after that, never leaving your side (hunts or house doesn't matter)
• carrying you around the house because he didn't want you in a wheelchair
• He would snap more because he's worried and genuinely Ursula didn't understood it at first before it clicked
• His family has power so of course he somehow gets the best doctor too look at you.. Even when it needed some "convincing" the doctor at first
• At hunts, we're you quite frequently have to be at to represent your family because you two aren't married just yet because he doesn't like the idea of you being the hunted one, he also goes on guard dog mode
• When you just wince a bit he's at your side. Having an ice pack ready altough the cold is uncomfortable for his hands
• Teases so you so HARD, once he holded the ice pack up to make you jump for it.. He picked you up when you did so he could carry you to bed
