Hurt / Comfort Ideas!!
⋆˙⟡ She gets injured but hides it because she doesn’t want to slow everyone down, and he only notices when she starts answering questions too slowly.
⋆˙⟡ He comes back from a fight acting normal, making jokes, brushing everyone off, until she sees his hands shaking when he tries to pour water.
⋆˙⟡ She has a nightmare and wakes up quietly crying, trying not to disturb him, but he’s already awake and pretends not to notice until she chooses to talk.
⋆˙⟡ He is sick but insists he’s “fine,” so she sits nearby doing her own work just to make sure he doesn’t collapse alone.
⋆˙⟡ She breaks down in the least dramatic place possible, like a grocery aisle or hallway, and he has to gently guide her somewhere private.
⋆˙⟡ He gets overwhelmed in a crowd, and she notices before he says anything because he stops making eye contact and starts looking for exits.
⋆˙⟡ She keeps apologizing while he bandages her wound, and he finally says, very quietly, “you don’t have to earn being taken care of.”
⋆˙⟡ He thinks nobody remembered the anniversary of something terrible that happened to him, but she did. She just didn’t know whether bringing it up would hurt more.
⋆˙⟡ She refuses comfort because she thinks accepting it means admitting weakness, so he just sits beside her and says nothing until she leans into him.
⋆˙⟡ He is used to patching himself up alone, so when she gently takes the first-aid kit from his hands, he looks genuinely confused.
So many Sam and Jack vibes…. ❤️
