Guard your heart

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

[ This is the last time Grey asks Himchan to impersonate him for physical examination in exchange for a favor. Usually he expects it to be like, 'hey help me move house' or 'hey can you buy me a pizza'. Rarely is it 'hey, can you protect this guy from magic hunters okay bye'.

He rubs his head. He feels really ill equipped for this.

Oh. Is that a gun? Does it work?

[ puppy's never really been exposed to weapons in his life, save for that one time he got, you know, killed. he's kind of developed a fear of sorts over weapons when brandished in his direction, but he's trying his best not to get too affected.

if himchan trusts grey, then puppy trusts grey. it's that simple.

even if he's a little apprehensive over how nonchalant the other is with the weapon. ]


Are you going to kill people with that?

[Because you're awesome that way. Let's go with Sansa in the GW verse! And let me know if you want/need something adjusted.]

"I don't need another bodyguard," Sansa insists. She's wrong, and she knows it, but she hates when so many assigned to protect her end up dead or wounded more than not. She's from an old family, as many of the worlds leading families are, and is one of the last still alive.

As such, the Preventers are keen to keep her protected, despite all her protests. She'd done her best to help the Colonies, and now seeks to help other families like the Winners in providing aid. And there are still people unhappy with what she's trying to do, and place a target on her head.

'Please, m'lady, let us try this one last agent.' Her advisers press, and she finally relents.

Sansa looks to the young man when he's introduced, and tries not to look too disappointed. "You come highly recommended. Hopefully this summit will go smoothly." But she rather, sadly, doubts it.

Duo gave her a cocky smirk. Recommended, huh?

"Don't worry, princess," he said. "I've got your back, no problem." He didn't normally do 'escort missions', to use videogame lingo (protect the non-combatant until you reach the goal), but a job was a job, and it would pay his mounting bills. The scrap business only went so far, after all. Noin had been insistent on this one, saying that only one of the former Gundam pilots could handle it. Wufei was on a mission with Sally to Mars, Heero was currently assigned to Relena, Quatre was busy playing politician for a while, and Trowa was being his bodyguard (in addition to forty giant Arabs, though Duo was kind of convinced Trowa had other motives there, too), so it was down to Duo to watch Miss Stark.

When Duo had done his research, he found out why Noin had insisted. One of the other old Earth families had been badly affected by the wars, and there was a rumor (unconfirmed, and so far unproven) that they were targeting the Starks for their support of the Colonies. This was how wars had started in the past, and the Preventers were in the business of putting out fires like this. Duo was ready.

He'd already scoped out much of the location for the summit, setting up small traps in good sniper locations to catch would be assassins that way, having the area swept for explosives, checking back hallways and alleys for access points to cover, everything. Thankfully, Une had given her blessing for him to pull in as much help as he needed. He'd play point, staying by Sansa's side for the duration of the meeting, but just out of sight. If anything, he was expecting to run into Heero and Trowa in those hidden spaces as it was likely Relena and Quatre were also attending the summit. They could help cover each other.

"Whenever you're ready, we can head over."

They had an escort from her hotel to the meeting place, but not having the summit in the hotel itself meant they had to drive between the two locations. Duo was acting as chauffeur. He went out first, alert and ready, Sansa's normal driver relinquishing the car to him for the day. He took the keys and opened the door for her to take her seat.

"Miss."
