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.

Would I! [He states as he springs up to his feet in excitement.] I'm so used to walking day in and out. All the open fields and open space....

[But mid sentence he gets sheepish] Ah, but I'm also used to gigantic behemoths too. Ha..ha...

[personal profile] oneirism 2013-11-11 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm... Then we can take a walk around the city. I think there might be something like a big park near here too... [She trails off as she thinks about the routes around the city, until she snaps to attention again at his words.]

... Behemoths?
survivorsedge: (get closer)

[personal profile] survivorsedge 2013-11-11 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
I'm still getting used to not needing a weapon to walk around with... [He chuckles as he stretches.] Behemoths are huge and very powerful beasts with an aversion to light. You need a group to take those down. It's not so much the size that makes the frightening, because Tonberries are tiny and something of horrifying legends.

And with Serah--I fought an invisible giant named Atlas we stopped together. Only it's arm was visible. I took the risk to climb up it and by luck I hit it's head!!

[His grin is at his cheekiest when he talks about that time. He is trying to test out, as well as remind himself that he can talk about Serah. He can remember her face and her voice without it bringing him misery... Because Lapis is right. Serah would not want him to punish himself for trying. She wanted him....to have a happy life. ]

[She tilts her head as she listens, her eyes widening in amazement.]

Ah, that sounds incredible! To be able to do something like that is really amazing... [She manages to snap out of her daydreaming though so that she can grab a coat, since it is rather cold out.]

... Luckily there isn't anything like that around here. Besides the ghosts, things tend to be fairly quiet...
survivorsedge: (blush)

[personal profile] survivorsedge 2013-11-11 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
I...I kinda miss monster hunting to be honest. But I suppose the lack of it makes the human population so stable.

[He too has a coat. He is used to the climate of deserts and tropical islands that feeling coldness really does get to him.]

Lapis, what is this 'park' like?

[If taken to a children's area, he is guaranteed to stand up on swings, swing around polls and hang upside down monkey bars. He has plenty of spare energy to burn during this quiet period.

Unless something decides to pop up.]

[personal profile] oneirism 2013-11-11 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm... Humans don't really have many threats here...

[Besides the occasional animal attack. Or ghost attack, in her experience.]

They are... Similar to gardens, and they have things that you can play on, like swings... They're nice to walk around in, and they can be fun too... [Not saying that the things like swings are for kids, since Lapis tends to play on them whenever she had the chance.

She goes to open the front door, slipping on her boots as she glances back at Noel. She's hoping that it will be quiet, at least, though things don't always go that way.]
... Ready to go?
survivorsedge: (interest)

help i am starting to ship

[personal profile] survivorsedge 2013-11-11 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
[He has an airy gasp when she mentioned a garden.]
I saw a garden for the first time when... I first traveled through time. Everyone in Serah's village planted vegetables and flowers. I always dreamt of growing something since then but never had the time.

[When he's asked he's ready to go... he walks by and looks down at Lapis with a warm smile.]

When things warm up again, we should try to start our own.

[In a childish way...he's already making himself at home.]
oneirism: (Snuggle with the inevitable)

i will be no help since i am too

[personal profile] oneirism 2013-11-11 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
[His reaction to hearing about a garden makes her smile slightly, and the smile stays as she tilts her head while she listens to him. It is nice to see him so cheerful after earlier. So when he walks by and gives her that warm smile, she smiles just as warmly back at him.]

Mmm, that sounds like a good idea... We would have to start small at first, but after a while we could start to make the garden much bigger.

[She's glad that he's making himself at home, and not even the overprotective grumblings of her ghost companion can't ruin her mood right now. So once she's out, she closes the door behind her and starts to lead the way.] ... It's not that much of a walk, but if there's anywhere else you would want to go, just let me know..
survivorsedge: (chuckling)

this meme laughs at us and yells 'successs'

[personal profile] survivorsedge 2013-11-11 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
We may have different ideas on small~

[He says as he moves aside for her to lead the way.]

I dunno where else we could go--but I'll take that as an invite to stop any and everywhere, hm?

[He has a cheeky grin and look in his eyes when he states that. Adventure is in his blood. A part of him wishes those ghost shenanigans were more frequent. Spirits are not a foreign thing too him. He's seen different kinds, through his short but eventful life. But it wasn't until Lapis that he gotten to learn about them in greater detail.]
oneirism: (When it's great,it's a small calamity)

yeup, pretty much

[personal profile] oneirism 2013-11-11 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm, maybe...

[She gives him a nod, glancing over at him and smiling again his grin. She could tell that's he's adventurous and she doesn't mind at all, considering she's a bit similar. Of course, she also has times where she would rather curl up at home.]

... Yes, you could. I have no problems showing you around any and everywhere...
survivorsedge: (downcast)

[personal profile] survivorsedge 2013-11-11 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Okay not everywhere. I need to get a job for the concept of 'everywhere' to be a thing.

[He laughs. Ah, another thing of the old world. How you can either go and get it yourself, or sell parts of your kill and be ready to go. This world is more strict and organized. He's going to need A LOT of help.]

Ah-- [The cold air hits him and he tenses up. Brrrr...Another thing to get used to.]
oneirism: (Default)

[personal profile] oneirism 2013-11-11 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
True, though I already have money saved up... I could help you look for a job if you want...

[She might have to ask her sister about that though, since she would know far more about this than Lapis. Her thoughts end up drifting for a moment as she thinks of how to ask her, before her attention is brought back to Noel, having heard him when the cold air hit.]

... Are you alright?
survivorsedge: (blush)

[personal profile] survivorsedge 2013-11-11 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
No, no, that's all of your hard work.

[As he speaks his eyes are closed tight and he waves his hand in front of his face. When he opens his eyes, he focuses on how he can see the heat of his breath into the air. He's seen this before, but didn't focus on it back then. He is so new to so many things it's probably amazing.]

I'm okay... [He speaks slowly as he focuses on the stream of steam.]
oneirism: (Snuggle with the inevitable)

[personal profile] oneirism 2013-11-11 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
... I don't mind, I don't really spend money much anyway...

[She turns to face him fully, and she can't help but feel faintly amused at how he's focusing on the steam. She just watches him for a moment, her head tilted slightly, before she speaks up.]

... Have you never been anywhere this cold before?
survivorsedge: (surprise)

[Going to bed o/]

[personal profile] survivorsedge 2013-11-11 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
Still, it'd be better if I could treat you too, and let you retain your savings.
[He is very chivalrous]
Ah--Yes! I have been somewhere cold! But I did not focus on it for very long. Constantly fighting and running, then teleported right out. It wasn't until I've arrived here that life...has been so slow that I could notice everything around me so keenly.
oneirism: (Change doesen't happen overnight)

[And then I ended up falling asleep too oops]

[personal profile] oneirism 2013-11-11 01:39 pm (UTC)(link)
... If you're certain, but I really don't mind...

[She hums thoughtful, slowly starting to nod in understanding. When they aren't working, things can be very slow around here.]

That makes sense... If it's too cold, I could get a scarf for you...
survivorsedge: (curious)

[personal profile] survivorsedge 2013-11-11 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[He tilts his head at the offer. '...scarf?']

oneirism: (You will watch the skies,you will wait)

[personal profile] oneirism 2013-11-11 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[She blinks at him for a moment, and then her eyes drift away as she thinks of how to explain this.]

It's... A strip of fabric you use to keep yourself warm. It usually goes around your neck...
survivorsedge: (blush)

[personal profile] survivorsedge 2013-11-11 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[His war ridden self thinks having something around the neck is a horrible idea. But in this world...there seems to be no such thing as immediate danger. Naively of course.]

Oh.

[He clears his throat a little. Feeling like a fish out of water is never fun.]
That'd be appreciated. Than you, Lapis.
oneirism: (I've got nothing clever around you)

[personal profile] oneirism 2013-11-11 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Luckily Lapis doesn't say anything more about his lack of knowledge about scarves, and instead goes to lead him into a small stare that's selling them.]

... Is there any in particular you want? [Said with a a wave of her hand to the small collection of them.]
survivorsedge: (tender)

[personal profile] survivorsedge 2013-11-11 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[He moves right over to purple... but then he turns his head toward the baby pink scarf. He pauses for awhile, before carefully unraveling the pink scarf. This one will be special in more ways than one.]
oneirism: (Default)

[personal profile] oneirism 2013-11-11 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[She watches as he picks one, before nodding to herself and going over to pay for it, heading back to him when she's done so.]

... You just need to wrap it around your neck, and it should help to keep you warm...
survivorsedge: (learning)

[personal profile] survivorsedge 2013-11-11 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[He is very intuitive when he handles the scarf he was given. He wraps it in a way that it's doubled for secure warmth, and that the rest of the length goes down his chest under his coat. With the double wrap, he can pull it up to his nose, which he does to show 'hey I got this' but he keeps it down for now.

He's like a little kid with his new scarf he's really enjoying.]
oneirism: (Change doesen't happen overnight)

[personal profile] oneirism 2013-11-11 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's a faint smile from the young woman as she watches him, nodding again before she leads the way out of the shop. Now she's starting to think she probably should have bought one for herself, but she can withstand the cold a bit more.]

... Does it help?
survivorsedge: (interest)

May not be on till thur or laer o/
