Collapsing - Tumblr Posts
OH yeah.....
‘Can you stand?’ A asked. B nodded shakily, trying to pull themselves to their feet.
Just as soon as they managed to get upright, their knees buckled. B’s vision went blurry as they tried to grab the wall, or anything, really, to stop them from-
A catches them before they hit the ground, helping B sit back down. ‘S-sorry,’ B stutters. ‘I-’
‘It’s okay.’ A slips a hand under B’s legs and another behind their back and picks them up easily. ‘It’s okay, I’ve got you.’
PUT THIS DIRECTLY INTO MY VEINS PLEASE AND THANK YOU
whumpee collapsing into caretaker’s arms…
“it’s okay, it’s okay.”
“there you go. easy now.”
“i’ve gotcha — i’ve gotcha.”
“whoa there. you good?”
“you’re alright. come on.”
“hang on to me… i’ve got you.”
especially when caretaker then eases whumpee down onto the floor (in their arms / lap!), or into a chair or a bed.
