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. |

Re: SLOWER THAN SLOW i'm so sorry cries
[ and of course, irony always did love to present itself at the most opportune moments. ]
Ah — [ she's breathless, sucks in a breath, and her heart is pounding when she finds herself between his arm and body. but she quickly shakes the thought away, this was a battle field, and no matter how strong she — they, felt, overconfidence could be anyone's undoing.
so she unwinds herself gently from Henry's hold and unsheathes her sword, her back against his. she might not be able to be on the offensive but that didn't mean that her use ended there — she'd provide defense from the back. ]
I don't see anyone from behind. [ he's not firing his magic, so. . . ] Do you want to advance?
[ Olivia doesn't take her eyes off the thickets, voice low and free of uncertainty. ]
no subject
Mmhm~. Let's go!
[ as usual, he doesn't bother keeping his voice down - Henry wants to be found. He loves violence. But he's not quite as stupid as he seems, and in spite of his carefree behavior, he is indeed paying attention. When there's a flash of movement up above in the trees, he immediately notices it, and there's hardly time to even process the information before Henry's hand flies out in that direction, fire appearing from thin air and bursting with a thunderous clap of energy where the enemy was. The attacker falls from the branch with a thump and a clatter, the bow tumbling from his charred arms - a Risen, it appeared - but there's an immediate rustling from all around them. ]
Uh oh. We're gonna have company, Olivia! Better watch yourself! [ he giggles. ]
