You're my mission.

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.

[ Context (au, obvs): As far as Idols go, saying that Yuzu Hiiragi was famous would be downplaying it. Despite being located in Japan, she was fairly well-known even overseas. She handles this fame in stride and modesty, especially for someone who grew so quickly at such a young age. She doesn't mind needing to disguise herself in suspicious-looking hats, sunglasses, scarfs, and jackets just to avoid getting recognized when she goes out for any number of reasons.

Of course, that doesn't save her from the... flaws of fame. Sure, she may adore her fans, but that doesn't stop her fans from adoring her... a bit too much. Yuzu was by no means helpless, but after the number of cases in which an 'older fan' tried to get a little too close... it's reasonable to think that maybe she should have some protection at least before her manager has a heart-attack concerning her safety.

And so... that's exactly what her manager ended up doing.

It's a simple job. Follow her around, keep her safe, yada yada, all that jazz. Still, Yuzu can't help but feel that maybe her Manager went a little overboard, since the amount of security Yuzu now has makes her feel like she's some kind of high-importance politician. She understands that her Manager is worried sick, but does she really need someone to follow her around wherever she goes, and always be nearby?

Sure, she could somehow manage that, but now? ]

W-We can't just sleep in the same room! D-Don't you have like, your own things to do!?

[ Her manager may have hired some... hardcore protection. ]

[ Es had signed up for the job under orders of her family, knowing that the Mitsrugi always needed to maintain their high social standing. As one of the youngest of many children, she needed to show her worth. How that came about, Es was unsure. But what she did know was that this job was easy.

Under Yuzu's manager, her only role was to protect the girl as much as possible, and she was bound by contract to do so. It was an easy task, but the Mitsurugis had one fatal flaw.

They never bothered to instill social norms into their children.

One such instance was now. All the Mitsurugi children slept in a communal bedroom with no semblance of privacy. She thought everyone else in the world did the same, so it comes with surprise to the girl that her charge was not as open to the idea as she is. ]

But why not? I don't understand.

[ Help her, Yuzu. ]

[ She's speechless. Yuzu is well and truly speechless. The answer to Es' question is something that feels so obvious to Yuzu that she struggles to explain it herself. Does that make sense? No, but it is what it is. ]

B-Because... w-we're both girls and we can't just...

[ Her face is burning at the thought. Sure, the phrase "we're both girls" has been used to try and relax Yuzu in things like this, but those words meant nothing to Yuzu, seeing that both boys and girls are equally pretty in her eyes. Plus, while Es was definitely a weird bodyguard that she planned to question her Manager about later... she was also very pretty.

If Es slept in the same room as her, she might just end up being too stressed to close her eyes. Truly, a disaster for her heart, if she's being honest. ]

I-It's embarrassing, you know?

Both girls...? I see no issue with gender or sex in this situation. And I fail to see what is embarrassing about the situation.

[ She tilts her head in confusion. Her life experiences made it just a bit too hard to actually relate to everyday people. So instead of actually trying, like in this situation, she decides compromise is a better option.

After all, Yuzu's manager didn't sign her up for a room, if she remembered correctly. ]

If it truly makes you uncomfortable, then I will stand watch by your door.

[ Sure, Yuzu didn't mind compromises... but this? What was Es' plan then, to just stand out here all night? Unfortunately, that didn't slide with Yuzu either for different reasons. Es was protecting her, after all, she couldn't make her just... stand out here while she slept peacefully in bed. ]

W-Wait, I can't just let you stand out here all night...

[ She wasn't sure how old Es was... she seemed young, but also mature, so maybe close to Yuzu's age? That or she was just short. Wait, that's not the important thought process right now! Yuzu's bisaster brain is in shambles right now. ANYWAYS... ]

D-Don't you have like, your own room?

[ Yuzu of course doesn't know that her Manager didn't do that. Either her Manager had forgotten to do so for any number of reasons, or they were actually that worried for her safety and really did just book a single room for the two of them. Somehow, she doubted second possibility since there was only one bed in this damn room. Was it a comfy bed? Undoubtedly, but the quality does nothing about the quantity in the room. ]

It is not an issue, I assure you.

[ A polite way of saying "I don't need you worrying over me."

She tilts her head as Yuzu asked about her rooming status. A shake of her head as she responded. ]

Negative. Your manager never explained my rooming situation. My directives were simply to protect you and nothing else.

...

[ ...Yuzu mutters something under her breath. Next time she sees her Manager, she's gonna smack them. It's already late, and Yuzu is tired... she could go down to the concierge and see about getting Es a room, but from the looks of it... both of the rooms adjacent to hers are taken, and she doubts that Es would compromise for a room that's too far away.

...the bed was definitely large enough to fit the two of them, at least... but no, she couldn't do something like that!

Though... she might not have much of a choice. ]

No... it's definitely an issue, you need to rest as well...

[ Her cheeks are burning, and she's trying to avert her eyes by covering them. ]

Fine you can... we can...

[ Gah, this is too hard, she just needs to say it. ]

G-Get ready for bed, you can sleep with me in my room...

[ ...god she hopes nobody takes those words out of context. ]

[ Yuzu is right on that, Es would never compromise if it meant being away from her mission.

She tilts her head when Yuzu starts stuttering, wondering why she was struggling to speak. The blush only makes her think that she might have come down with a fever. However, she doesn't say much about it, deciding to accept her charges offer of sleeping on the same bed. She nods, a small smile spreading across her lips. ]

Thank you, miss Yuzu. I graciously accept your offer.

[ Oh... wow...

Es hadn't really smiled around her before... she always seemed to just, have this almost unmoving serious expression on her face.

But her smile was just... beautiful. Yuzu feels her heart start to beat faster, pumping more blood into her already-red face. ]

Alright, just... let me get changed on my own...

[ She'll move into her room so that Es can follow her inside... immediately grabbing a pair of pajamas off of her suitcase and heading into the bathroom.

This was going to be some kind of night... ]

[ Es nods, soon stepping into the room that she was now sharing with Yuzu. Her eyes widened when she saw Yuzu take pajamas from the suitcase. Right, she had one tucked away in her extremely large jacket.

When told Yuzu would change first, Es nodded and took the time to fish hers out from the depths of her jacket pockets. She realizes that she will have to change as well, so she waits patiently for Yuzu to finish up.

She starts to hum something softly to herself as she waits her turn in the bathroom. No need to rush the poor girl, after all. ]

[ Yuzu doesn't take too long... maybe it's the nerves, but she works fast and comes out dressed in pink pajamas, with her hair (her hair down instead of in the pigtail hairstyle that had become so iconic for her). ]

Alright, you can go in now...

[ Though, her face is still red... thoughts have been bouncing around in her head for a while. ]

[ Es finds herself with a slight blush on her face. Oh, she's even cuter with her hair down. She finds herself walking over, smiling slightly. If there was one benefit to being blunt, it was being able to flirt without much issue. ]

You look prettier with your hair down.

[ And with that, she slinks into the bathroom to change into her own nightgown to sleep for the night. ]

E-Eh?

[ Yuzu freezes, her cheeks reddening again.

Es moves into the bathroom before Yuzu can properly react. ]

EHHHHH!?

[ Yuzu's face turns red all the way up to her ears. This isn't the first time someone has called her pretty... she's an idol, after all.

But when Es said it, it suddenly meant so much more??

She needs to let something out... she quickly jumps onto the bed and lets out some kind of squeal/scream... muffled by the pillow of course, so nobody can hear her. ]

What the heck...

[ Her face still feels like it could catch fire at any moment. ]

[ As soon as she closes the door to the bathroom, she quickly sinks to the floor, cheeks in her hands and blushing furiously.

Yes, she can flirt easily, but that doesn't mean she doesn't get flustered straight afterwards. She sits there for a while before changing, hoping Yuzu doesn't notice the amount of time she spent in there.

Once she steps out, she notices Yuzu in bed. She wonders how long she had been in there, if it was long enough that she fell asleep. So without another word, she slips into the bed, lifting the covers so she can get a nice rest. ]

[ Yuzu's face is still buried in the pillow until she feels the bed and covers start to shift, at which point she lifts her head up to look at Es and—

Oh... oh my lord...

Let's get a few things out of the way now... one, Es officially has the largest chest Yuzu has ever seen.

Two, their nightgown was both beautiful and very revealing.

Three, she was now in bed with her.

Es, you are officially in the kind of situation that many of Yuzu's fans would do anything for. Idol life, you know? ]

E-E-Es...! Y-You, um...

[ She can feel herself starting to feel faint. Es' appearance is proving to be too much for her to handle. Among the many thoughts racing through her head... she can't help but feel somewhat out of place in this scenario with her modest pink pajamas and less, for the lack of a better word... curvy figure. ]

[ Es tilts her head in slight confusion. She knew that men enjoyed her chest, but seeing Yuzu enjoy it as well made Es feel just a tiny bit of pride. So it was worth having them around, she thought to herself.

But also seeing Yuzu, the ever so popular idol that never dated, so immensely smitten with her? She couldn't fight her own pink blush. She loved the look on her. Es smiles, deciding instead to just get comfortable. ]

Miss Yuzu, please do not stress. Simply try to get some rest.

[ She's totally dodging the elephant in the room. ]

[ Well... what can Yuzu say? She likes boys and girls... but her standards for guys are higher, whereas girls get her blushing much easier. In the first place, as an idol... it's not that she didn't want to date, she just couldn't.

Honestly, if anyone ever knew about her and Es sharing a bed, even if she was her bodyguard—no, especially because she's her bodyguard, the word "jealousy" wouldn't even begin to cover things.

Still, it's not that she hates being an idol... she loves being an idol, being able to sing in front of a crowd... though it does get lonely at times.

And now a beautiful girl who is expected to be by her side at all times is just... so close to her now. ]

I-I know, but...

[ She fidgets and holds her hands close to herself, her face still bright red, and her eyes drawn to... well... listen, with what Es is wearing, can you really blame her for staring!? Honestly, if Es was any closer... ]

You have a long day ahead of you, Miss Yuzu. Please get some rest.

[ And there Es went, closing her eyes and bringing the blankets closer to her to signal the end of the conversation. Rather. she was just trying to commit the sight of Yuzu with her hair down to memory just in case this was a one off chance.

God, she sure hopes it isn't. ]

A-Alright...

[ She takes a deep breath... they're both girls, she can do this... though her nerves are at their highest right now, it's been a long day... and it'll be a long day tomorrow as well. Though it takes a while... she eventually drifts off into sleep, her cheeks still red.

...soon after, though, Es might find that Yuzu is suddenly closer—no, much closer. Actually, she's right up in her personal space now. Her eyes are still closed, so she's still asleep.

Turns out... Yuzu Hiiragi is a cuddly sleeper. ]

[ Unlike Yuzu, Es fell right asleep, knowing that her job as a bodyguard was first and foremost. She didn’t want lack of sleep to interfere with her ability to protect her, so she made the most logical choice.

She didn’t expect Yuzu to be so close to her when she woke up.

Es woke up at six am on the dot, mumbling something incoherently. As she looked around, she realized that her charge, the one that she was protecting… was using her own chest as a pillow.

Her face lights up like a tomato, but she doesn’t say anything aloud despite the goofy smile on her face. No risking waking her up.

But boy oh boy is she thanking her lucky stars for the time being. Cute girl cuddling her? Oh, she could just sing right now! ]

Mmph...

[ Being an idol means that waking up early is nothing new for Yuzu... but she's oddly comfortable right now, so while she does stir... she (in her half-asleep state) ends up holding onto Es tighter, pressing herself tighter against what she was using as a pillow. ]

Mm...

[ It's only a matter of time, however, until she fully wakes up and realizes... ]

[ Es' heart soars.

She's with a cute girl in her bed. What sane person wouldn't enjoy the moment? But alas, there were things to do today and her manager will chew her out if she dares to be late with her charge in tow. So with a heavy heart, she starts to shake Yuzu awake. ]

Miss Yuzu... you must wake up. You have training this morning.

[ Yuzu slowly opens her eyes all the way, lifting her head up from the comfort of whatever she had buried her face in and... looks up... at Es...

...five beats later, everything hits her, and her entire face, including her ears and even some of her neck... turns bright red. ]

Ah... aah... aaah...!

[ Yuzu practically flings herself out of bed, waving her arms rapidly for... whatever reason as countless words fly out of her mouth at a speed that makes it very hard to understand her. ]

I-I'M SORRY I DIDN'T—I MEAN—Y-YOU... I-I...

[ Oh god, she feels dizzy. In a flash, she's suddenly in the bathroom, the door slamming shut behind her.

She's mostly in there to crouch in the corner and bury her face in her hands. ]
