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. |

[But mid sentence he gets sheepish] Ah, but I'm also used to gigantic behemoths too. Ha..ha...
no subject
... Behemoths?
no subject
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. ]
no subject
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...
no subject
[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.]
no subject
[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?
help i am starting to ship
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.]
i will be no help since i am too
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..
this meme laughs at us and yells 'successs'
[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.]
yeup, pretty much
[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...
no subject
[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.]
no subject
[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?
no subject
[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.]
no subject
[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?
[Going to bed o/]
[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.
[And then I ended up falling asleep too oops]
[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...
no subject
no subject
It's... A strip of fabric you use to keep yourself warm. It usually goes around your neck...
no subject
Oh.
[He clears his throat a little. Feeling like a fish out of water is never fun.]
That'd be appreciated. Than you, Lapis.
no subject
... Is there any in particular you want? [Said with a a wave of her hand to the small collection of them.]
no subject
no subject
... You just need to wrap it around your neck, and it should help to keep you warm...
no subject
He's like a little kid with his new scarf he's really enjoying.]
no subject
... Does it help?
May not be on till thur or laer o/
Okay, see ya later! \o
Aha...nevermind, problems resolved
Yay, that's good!
