Good on you, making use of every strategic advantage you have. (And yes, I am happily smirking right now.)
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I'm sorry, Erin, but I can't award you badass points for waving your arms around and falling over and breaking a limb. I didn't take my broken elbow in for a week; that didn't make me a badass. It meant I was stupid.
We can't just go around handing these badass points around willy nilly. It demeans all the real badasses.

Because books.
S. once broke his hand and played the rest of the football game. He loves that story.

I really, truly did not think it was broken. i mean, it hurt, but i really thought it was just a sprain. I've had worse cramps.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Amy, for some reason that makes me think of a guy I dated who at age 8 or so had a collision in a soccer game, and the other guy's tooth got knocked out, and everyone was fussing around him and his lost tooth, except the tooth? Was in my ex's forehead, but no one was paying him any mind.
That's probably way funnier to me than it was meant to be, but there's a reason I don't date much.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Tell Dan. Tell him you're fine, but TELL HIM. (Speaking as someone who is trying to learn to tell her loved ones when something is wrong. Ahem.)
Yeah, that was the right call. Especially when you start the conversation with, "I am really okay." Start with the best.
However we didn't tell my sister that dad fell and was in the ICU and had a brain tumor until she got home. She could do nothing to get home even a minute faster and she's just have freaked out and made herself unsafe.
So, sometimes the truth immediately is good. Sometimes you wait because it'll just cause pain and there's no good to be gained.
Mostly every broken bone I've ever had was treated the next day. Jaw, wrist, foot, other foot, first foot again. Things that have gone immediately to be checked weren't broken bones. Odd. I do NOT rec waiting with a broken jaw. The rest were doable but that was a bad idea.
