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.

"Until the rumors about Ruff Rabbit members being targeted subside, I'm not to leave your side!" Aoba's request hadn't been that extensive, but Clear went big or went home. Unfortunately for Noiz he chose to go big.

Clear stopped when Noiz looked at him, blinking behind the confines of his mask at him silently as he spoke.

"... I could never lie to Master, Noiz-san." He replied after a silent moment. "Thank you for offering to cover for me, but I won't leave your side!" He bowed his head politely before starting to walk beside him again. "Are you going to be playing Rhyme again today, Noiz-san? We could walk down to the pier and see if there's anyone there... Or we could go to the arcade! I really liked that one game where the little ghosts chased around the little yellow pie chart!"

He liked the sounds... but he was almost embarrassingly bad at it.

Listening to Clear's earnest and frustrating speech, Noiz just wished whoever was behind the rumors would just do something already. His patience wasn't infinite.

He clicked his tongue in annoyance, but didn't say anything else about Clear's unfortunately stubbornness about this. Do whatever you want. He was quiet for a moment himself, taking a moment to check his Coil, not looking at Clear anymore. Eventually, he spoke up again, sounding disinterested again.

"Didn't you want to go back home?"

Despite the reminder, Noiz turned onto a different street, one that lead to the arcade.

Clear pattered along behind him, humming to himself a bit. He knew this route well... over the past couple weeks of being glued to Noiz he could walk to the arcade backwards with his eyes closed.

But that would be dangerous.

"Mm... Not that, particularly..." He murmured, tilting his head to the sky to watch the scenery. "We've just been walking a long time and I thought you'd be tired or hungry by now! Don't your legs hurt from walking around so much?"
