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.

What're you saying sorry for? I live for this, Lapis.

[He rolls his shoulders, reading his body for whatever happens.]

... I still feel bad. Spirits can be really dangerous sometimes...

[She steps further into the garden, glancing around warily. And she frowns even more when she can hear groaning, but not see anything yet.]

... Especially when it's a powerful one like this. I think someone must have deliberately summoned it here.

I've dealt with much worse, Lapis. If it's summoned, we'll snuff it out and whoever summoned it. Okay?
oneirism: (The dark doesn't intend to hurt you)

[personal profile] oneirism 2013-11-13 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
... Okay, I trust you...

[It's easy enough to follow the sounds of the groaning. Though she wasn't exactly expecting to find a group of three teenagers laying around, who were the source of the noise.]

... Wha- [And she certainly wasn't expecting them to suddenly stand up and leap towards her and Noel, their hands curled like claws.]

[He sprints forward. Not wielding heavy weaponry is still foreign to him, but he is very much adaptable. A role in his world, Sentinel, allows him to make shields with all kinds of attributes. Elemental, medical, and even old fashioned 'steel' wall. He still doesn't know much about possessions or the elements of the world, so he grabs one teen by the arm and tosses them to the side.

He allows another to bump into his chest before bumping them off of hin. The last, clung to his arm, peeling his skin off as he shielded Lapis from the assault. ]

[Her eyes widen when he moves in front of her and protects her, but it's only a split second of hesitation before she calls her own spirits to go and push the teenager off of Noel, pinning them to the ground.

She only kept two spirits actively summoned, so the other pins down the teenager that had bumped off of Noel. Lapis keeps her eyes on the last one, narrowing her eyes at how the other two didn't even react to being pinned down, as they still kept groaning and trying to get up.]


... Are you alright, Noel?
survivorsedge: (Tch)

[His torn skin is ebbing back together, like fresh cuts that'll later go away giving they weren't too fatally deep.]

Yeah. What will you do...?

[His posture is still bent--ready to move for whatever else comes for her.]
oneirism: (Change doesen't happen overnight)

[She sighs in relief when his wounds start to knit together.]

... I need to find the spirit. These people are possessed, so things will get worse if the spirit is allowed to wander...

[Luckily the teen he had thrown to the side seems to have been stunned for now, so she uses this chance to start to head deeper into the garden.] ... Hopefully those are the only people who have been possessed...

What do we do about the possession? Handle the main spirit...?

[She nods, reaching up to rub her forehead with a frown. The air was starting to get oddly heavy and stifling, but that's just reassurance that they're going the right way.]

The main spirit needs to be banished. This should be easy, so long as it doesn't have more possessed with it... Though if there are more spirits with it, that will pose more of a problem...
