the shippy/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.

[ Ren’s barely even got time to recover. Hell, he’s pretty sure he’s pulled a muscle in the middle of that maneuver but then Nora summarily drags him to his feet and there goes another series of BOOM!s before he takes the hint. Never mind that some prt of him sort of misses lying on the ground because at least that’s some kind of rest— ]

Right. You first. [ It’s awkward, but he’s right behind her and practically shoving her through the foliage as the whole place blows. Least the authorities won’t have trouble finding this base.

Or them. ]

[itsmorning]

[ Nora gets a great chance to get all nice and cozy with the bushes and the tree branches and all sorts of things, but it's better than getting intimate with explosions.

Probably. ]

That was pretty exciting, wasn't it?

[ guys, you're a mess. ]

[palmstrike]

…Yeah. And never do that again. [ At least now the explosions are dying down and Nora you're not looking much better.

But you're also not the one who punctuated that last boom by toppling over to the ground with a sigh.

It's been a long day.

Just…let him lie there for a while okay. ]

[itsmorning]

[ Let's make that a little better.

So Nora will plop down, grab his head and haul it onto her thighs without bothering to ask. You know, per the norm. ]

Never say never!

[palmstrike]

[ LONGSUFFERING SIGH—

But he's also smiling as he rests his cheek very carefully on her thighs and sort of looks away. Kind of hard to meet her eyes right now given how he's sprawled on the flat of his stomach anyway. ]

Nora, I mean it. [ Least he still has strength for a chuckle…! ] I'm glad you're okay, though.

[itsmorning]

[ He'll be rewarded with a vigorously gentle hair-ruffling. It's Nora; it works out, somehow. ]

When have I never not been okay? I mean, past a day or a couple of hours? You still worry too much, Ren!

[palmstrike]

[ This is why we're friends, Nora. ]

…But we're partners now. [ That too. ] I've always got your back. [ Or thigh. ]

[itsmorning]

I know, I know! [ and she laughs, now ruffling his hair to epic proportions. ] But that means I've got yours, too! So if it's the two of us, we'll be just fine.

[palmstrike]

[ Hey now, despite his amazing immunity to bedhead that'll still take a while for him to straighten out.

It's been a long night. ]

Ow. You're letting me navigate this time. [ Wherein he'll chose to go to his other left, but you know. ]

[itsmorning]

Are you gonna navigate in your sleep? 'Cause it looks like you're ready for a snooze more than anything.

[palmstrike]

[ Okay wow he can't even help a soft chuckle at that. Must feel funny on her thighs. ]

In your dreams, Nora. [ And he knows how loony your dreams can be. ]

[itsmorning]

It'd be handy in my dreams, for sure! But if I have to carry you anywhere, it's better if you're asleep, in case I bonk you into any trees.

[palmstrike]

…Oh. [ He…appreciates it? ]

I appreciate it.

[itsmorning]

I knew you would! I'm the best partner everest ever, right?

[palmstrike]

[ Just…he can't with you sometimes, Nora. ]

The bestest everest ever, Nora. [ And with that, he gratefully passes out.

Albeit with a smile on his face, because Nora. ]
