Some responses to "I'm fine":
"Bullshit."
"Then how do you explain that?"
"Uh huh. Sure you are buddy."
"You know, it's ok if you're not ok."
"There is no way you're 'fine' after that."
[skeptical silence]
[worried silence]
"[name], it's ok..."
"We talked about this."
"Please don't lie to me."
"You call that 'fine'?"
"Then why are you [action that reveals distress]?"
"You don't look/sound fine."
"Something's bothering you; I can tell."
"You can talk to me... "
"You're not fooling anyone."
"I just want to help. Will you let me?"
"No you're not."
"You're shaking..."

Caretaker opens the trashcan and finds dozens of blood-covered rags, the med kit's been moved with supplies missing and whumpee's been lying in their room all day.
-Que caretaker bursting their door open yelling "WHAT did you get involved in NOW?"

something about keeping secrets. "tell no one about this," tugging a shirt sleeve over deep purple bruises on their wrists, "no one will ever believe you," the trembling of a lip debating to speak up, the biting down of teeth at the decision not to, the tears and the shaking and the fear and the unbearable relief when somebody finally knows.

A whumpee that's so used to pain they don't realize they're hurt.
They've been so accustomed to the constant wounds and torture that they gradually grew numb to it. Or maybe to them, pain is a constant state of being, there's nothing unusual about it. And so, there's not much of a difference wether it hurts a bit more or a bit less.
Perhaps, when they've been rescued and getting accustomed to ordinary life, they might get hurt. But, since it's just a dull ache, it's fine, right? After it doesn't get better for a while, they might mention it to someone and receive the advice to visit a doctor - only to find out that the injury is major and that a person normally wouldn't be able to function at all, much less brush it off as a "minor inconvenience".
That would probably make their companions wonder about what they could have gone through to become like this. Perhaps they knew it wasn't good, but never to this extent. :D

Hidden Injury Dialogue Prompts
Caretaker
“Why are you walking like that?” “Like what?” “Like you’re hurt.”
"Where do you think you're going?"
"You were just shaking like a leaf."
"Want to tell me why you look so pale?"
"You look ill."
"So when were you going to tell me you couldn't even stand up on your own?"
"I heard you whining in your sleep."
“I can tell you’re hiding something.”
“I thought we agreed you wouldn’t hide things from me”
“Whumpee, come here now. I will not tolerate any more of these games. You’re getting your injuries treated - don’t try to pretend like you don’t have any - and you’re going to cooperate quietly.”
Whumpee
“C-Caretaker! H-Hey what are you doing here? And so…close to the med-kit.”
“Please don’t be mad but…I think I’m gonna…” *faints*
“N-Nothing’s wrong with me!”
“Hm? Oh, just a little tired, that’s all.”
“I think I’m gonna turn in early. Do the debriefing without me.”
“Stop prying, I’m fine.”
“I’m…sorry.”
“You have so little faith in me! Of course I’m okay!”
“It’s nothing.”
Whumper
“You’d better not let anybody know about this or I’ll be cutting your pretty little face next.”
“You can’t hide anything from me. Lift up your shirt, I know you’re injured. And I know I didn’t give it to you.”
“What’s this? Is the little bird hurt? How terrible that someone else got to you before I did.”
“You’re about to regret hiding an injury from me.”
“You hid your injury so well I almost have to applaud you. But you’re still in trouble.”
“Caretaker can not know about this. And if they do it won’t be pretty for you, I can promise you that.”

He never told anyone.
There was no point. It would only make him seem weak, vulnerable, or even delicate.
And no one cared.
No one ever cared. Why would they?

I just love when a whumpee is walking around, trying to pretend that everything is fine and dandy, but the whole time their clothes are rubbing painfully against hastily bandages wounds, messy stitches, bruised skin, raw flesh, etc.
I feel like this is best exemplified with tight-fitting clothes and especially jeans, as the fabric is rough and stiff, creating a constant chafing effect. But it also works with loose-fitting clothes, where the ghosting of fabric over an injured torso could feel like fire.
Best accompanied by whumpee’s hand continuously returning to the same spot on their body as if to soothe an ache before quickly moving away to avoid suspicion OR whumpee holding back a wince every time someone touches them/brushes against them in the wrong spot.
Bonus: blood slowly seeping through clothing

Sudden Collapse *Team Leader Edition*
Come on, pull yourself together.
Leader leaned his hands on the table, squinting at the map sprawled across it and blinked a few times as it blurred in and out of focus.
"Leader? You were saying..?" Teammate Two prompted.
"Right," he started again, ignoring how the room span as he lifted his hands from the table. "So if we plant charges on...on the..." his voice trailed off, his thoughts slipping through his mind like sand. He dug his nails into his palms, willing himself to concentrate.
"You alright, boss?" Teammate One asked, their brow creased as they stepped closer.
"Fine," he dismissed as the team exchanged confused and concerned glances.
Just wanting to get through the briefing, Leader took a slow, deliberate breath before continuing. "If we plant charges on the w...west generator, that should... should buy us- enough t-time to... to..." Leader stumbled through his words, his sluggish mind unable to navigate the fragmented thoughts as another wave of nausea rolled over him.
He vaguely registered a muffled shout from Medic.
"'m fine," he slurred, reaching out for something to stabilize himself as his body swayed dangerously. He hadn't even realized he was falling until his head slammed against the floor.
"-oss? Boss!"

What is it called when a whumpee doesn’t understand the severity of their injuries? Like they aren’t any good at taking care of themselves and genuinely don’t know when they’re supposed to get help. They get stabbed and quietly patch it up themselves, not because they want to hide it but because they don’t feel like it’s worth mentioning. Anyway that’s my favorite trope.

Whump Prompt #1283
Whumptober #15: "I'm fine."
It depressed the whumpee how easy it was to lie, and how gullible everyone else was. Nevertheless, "I'm fine." was all they could say to avoid being sent to medical, and it was enough to keep the attention away from them and onto the mission at hand.
As time passes, however, they begin to wish someone would take notice...

Hidden injuries with protective caretakers:
Whumpee hides illnesses, injuries, names of people who hurt them. But not because they’re worried about what caretaker will think-
-But worried about what caretaker will do. They'll hunt the people who hurt them, burn buildings for them, kill for them. Whumpee doesn’t want anyone else getting hurt. 
Anyone else but themselves.

What if Whumpee got injured during some sort of journey and they’re losing blood but they tell their friends their fine because their adrenaline is still pumping and they don’t really feel anything- anyway as they continue the journey they start feeling worse and worse but they don’t want to tell their friends because they already said they were fine, and eventually they just collapse and their friends feel really guilty for not noticing how bad off they were???
also one of my favorites 😌😌
whumpee thinking they’re fine when they feel blood slowly seep through their clothes, or they want to convince themself that this is nothing and that they’ll be fine. until they’re not fine…
think about the things their friends might say to them before it goes downhill:
❝ you look pale ❞
❝ are you sure you’re okay? ❞
❝ you’re literally shaking ❞
❝ we can take a five-minute break ❞
❝ wait, are those blood? ❞
❝ you’re bleeding ❞
❝ can you let me look? ❞
and the things whumpee might say to their friends to try and convince them that they’re fine:
❝ it’s nothing ❞
❝ I’m fine ❞
❝ just a little thirsty, is all. I’ll be okay ❞
❝ no, I don’t need to take a break. we can just keep going ❞
❝ I’ve been through worse than this ❞
❝ you don’t have to worry about me ❞
❝ don’t let me slow you guys down ❞
and then suddenly, when whumpee is walking behind their team, trying to keep up with them while keeping the pain on their face hidden at the same time, their friends hear a loud thud and they look back to see whumpee collapsed on the floor :(

Obsessed with the idea of a character taking first watch, keeping an eye on their sleeping partner (or lover/sibling/friend, whatever) after the two of them narrowly escape a conflict with their lives. Only to discover a few hours later that said partner can't be roused (the sick feeling as realization hits, when whumpee doesn't even stir at something that should have woken them up). It turns out they were injured in the skirmish and decided to keep it hidden. Now the uninjured person has to try and stabilize whumpee and get them to safety, with no idea of the extent of the injuries.
