Whump Prompt #1743

Submitted by Anon - thanks!

Whumpee A and Whumpee B escape from Whumper together, but B is in a way worse condition than A. So A has to also take on the role of Caretaker, possibly neglecting their own injuries/trauma.

Bonus points - A starts taking self defence classes/training physically so if anything happens they can protect themselves and B. Possibly overexerting themselves, but not wanting B to know to not make them worry.

Bonus bonus points - B joins A in training despite knowing they absolutely shouldn't do anything physically demanding. Their wounds reopen, but they hide it from A (refusing A's help while changing bandages, washing their blood stained clothes when A isn't around). Until B passes out during training one day and A blames themselves for not noticing their condition worsening.

Whump Prompt #1017

Desensitisation: The team becomes desensitised to the bad things happening the more they deal with it.

Okay I have to add:

The old team are desensitised; they’re always returning to Base covered in blood and soot and god-knows-what. Some are limping but are simply un-phased by the state of their own injuries/what they had just witnessed. 

Every time this happens, the new recruits go very very pale at the potential glimpse of their future. 

The desensitisation may make the team jaded and in some way comfortable with the trauma, but it only makes everyone respect them more, and ready to help them at any turn. (When the trauma becomes too much/the injuries take longer to heal etc)
