Your bodyguard, or your lover?

the bodyguard shipping meme



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 have changed the protection, etc. Your only limit is you.

[ the bodyguard, either literally or more figuratively (helping with a temporary transfer, assassin sent in to rescue your character from Bad Guy Of The Week, one of his colleagues if you're a canonmate or a fellow assassin/spy, etc). okay with starting at the beginning to establish their ‘click’ and skipping around, or starting right in the middle. especially up for tropes such as ‘I just rescued you from X threat because it’s my job but now I’m realizing all these protective emotions aren’t just work-related and oh, wow, there’s a lot of energy right now’ or exploring a rare quiet-and-alone moment between the two. fan of slow burn.

general permissions in journal, sidenote that m/f and m/m are both welcome.

Hi ^^ How about James Bond, meet Mycroft Holmes? A 00 agent sent to act as guard in what supposed to be a simple escorting a captured traitor back to England. This would be by train because flying is not an option. There would be attack(s) during their journey across Europe, which might be aimed to prevent the captured man coming to the hands of the Secret Service alive, or might be to give him chance to escape.

A man in his early thirties, the supposed genius works in the Ministry of Transport as mid-level paper-pusher but supposedly he had been caught of having sensitive materials on hand (read, national security related) and had sold it to foreign government. Of course, sending a 00 as escort seems to be overkill but as later happenings would show, things are not what it seems in the first place.

"I don't need a bodyguard," Prompto mutters under his breath, crossing his arms over his skinny chest. He's not next in line or anything like that, he's just a low-level royal that no one really cares about. And besides, he has some weapons training! He can save himself!

Still, it isn't the bodyguard's fault. The, uhm, very impressive looking bodyguard's fault. He kinda looks like Gladio, Prompto thinks, before clearing his throat and grins, somewhat awkwardly. "Uhm, hey dude. Sorry you had to come out all this way just to guard me."
