The Shippy and/or Smutty Bodyguard Meme

the bodyguard meme
never let her out of your sight. never let your guard down.
You're a pop star, or a royal, or maybe even the last of your kind who will bring about the Earth's redemption. Whatever the case may be, you're in a position that may be a bit dicey if you attract the wrong kind of attention.

And you're a bodyguard, a soldier, a knight - a protector. Somehow, you've been roped into protecting this person. You'll be rewarded, of course. The work may be cut out for you, but just do your job, keep your head down, and it'll go smooth.

Except for when the two of you break the bounds of professionalism and feelings begin to flourish. Being in such close quarters may get you to see the other in a different light, and saving someone's life just may be the ultimate form of intimacy.

Could this be the real danger? To feel so strongly for the one you've sworn to protect...are you compromised?


How to Play
1. Comment with your character and preferences, being sure to put if you want to play the guard, the guarded, or either. Also, you may want to put if you prefer fluffy, angsty, or smutty interaction - or have no preference.
2. Comment to others.
3. There are no prompts, because there are so many potential options there could be a hundred. Feel free to play anything: the beginnings of the relationship, just meeting, getting used to each other/not getting along at first, the obligatory first time, a threat on the protected's life and how their protector responds, how the feelings between the two has changed the protection, etc. Your only limit is you.
never fall in love.

Serah for guard and Noel for guarded

[Noel is proud to be protected by her. Not to say that he ever found her weak, but to see so much quick improvement over the time spent was incredibly heart warming to him. Despite being heavily wounded, he was relaxed for once, rather than be on a constant look out for Serah's sake. He was safe.

He trusted Serah.]

[ Serah was just glad this hadn't happened sooner. Not that she wanted to see Noel get hurt at anytime, of course, but it was better that it happened after she'd become more comfortable with fighting. At least now she felt she could do a decent enough job of looking out for him while he healed up. ]

Hey, how're you feeling?


[ ooc: Haha, I'm fine with both brackets and prose, so feel free to go with whichever one you're more comfortable with. ]

He joked, "I'm still pretty...tenderized," and with his words laced with trembling pain. He was always glad to have her around no matter the state he was in. So far Serah was never too hurt, because if she was Serah would see him finally truly lose his cool. He cannot handle seeing others die, especially those he has attached to--admittedly very easily.

"We're partners... I always got your back." And her front. Usually, when he pushes Serah out the way, he isn't thinking clearly but rather acting in that very moment. He doesn't phase into being a Sentinel, he only focuses on ugly outcomes and all of his accumulating guilt of failing to keep others alive in his home time. Perhaps, he isn't as selfless as he thinks he is. Worrying Serah like this.
