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.

you're good!

[Holiday was very happy to find that her guardian was going to be a familiar face. Or mask. Still, she was glad and appreciated the familiarity. The doctor had been used to strangers entering her home, but it just made her stressed because she didn't really trust them either, despite being paid.]

[Ataru on the other hand. It was like having an old friend come visit.]

[Holiday smiled upon seeing him in the kitchen, still fixing putting her hair up for the day.]

I slept well, thank you. It helps knowing I have a better chance of waking up in the morning.

[She made her way over to the coffee pot.] What about you? Is that couch treating you nicely?

[Essentially living with her for this long has made Ataru privy to some of Holiday's hitherto private little foibles; it's a peculiar and not entirely unwelcome kind of intimacy, and he can't help but feel it all the more noticeably as it occurs to him how rarely he's seen her with her hair down before now.

He gives an amiable smile behind the mask.] I've had worse nights. It's alright- I'm a light sleeper anyway. [He closes the newspaper and turns in his chair, head to one side.] I still can't persuade you to take time off of work?

sorry about the late

[She would argue that they could find him better accommodations, but he changes the subject quick. Touché.]

[She leaned back against the counter, taking a sip of the hot coffee.]

I doubt it. I haven't taken time off in... years, I think. I don't know what it's like to not work at this point.
