I'll protect you

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.

Ash is a very skilled fighter by the usual human standards. This changes dramatically if supernatural abilities are introduced. Under most circumstances, he'd be the bodyguard, but I'm not against shaking things up. It's quite possible he's actually protecting you from his enemies, too. )

Su is clever, but his physical abilities stop at 'graceful' so he's likely the guarded. If you're looking for a hook, he's a famous actor who's gaining a lot of traction in China. Not in China? You were hired to protect him while he's in another country doing promotion. Or, of course, other ideas are fine too.)

Emma's suffered two dangerous attacks in her life. My first thought is that she gets hired to do a photoshoot in a rough place and hires someone for muscle. Absolutely the guarded since she has no combat skill herself. )

Alex is highly trained so she may be the bodyguard. That said, she works as an ambassador for human rights and does have a bodyguard with her so we can AU that as being your character. Open to other ideas.

poshwanker: (listen)

[personal profile] poshwanker 2021-12-12 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
The reason why Leo was chosen to be Rupert's bodyguard, back when he was fourteen and left preparatory school for secondary education, is manyfold: One the one hand, he was young, almost the same age (close enough to pass as such). On the other, he was said to be good in preventing situations, keeping them from occurring in the first place, or at least having consequences. And, relatedly... he didn't really look or act like a bodyguard, he could pass as just another kid.

Rupert has, over the years, gotten very, very used to him. Used to Leo's presence, but also used to him as a person ...okay, also used to having someone he can come to when he's stuck on homework when he doesn't want to go to a tutor (he has no idea how good Leo actually is, but it's not a high bar to be a higher achiever academically than Rupert).

And now? Now he's soon going to graduate. Become an adult. And he's really unsure what that actually means, partly because so much of it hinges on events that may or may not happen.

Either way, what it will likely mean is that his and Leo's professional relationship will drastically change, one way or the other, and along with it their personal one. ...He's not sure if Leo has been told about this.

All he knows is that exams are over, and now they have the summer with all its uncertainties ahead of them...

...and, at the moment, that just means sitting in a chilly flat boat out on the ponds in the swamp, quietly waiting for ducks to show. Duck shooting isn't Rupert's favourite past time - not active enough - but sometimes he needs some quiet thinking time, and duck shooting is perfect for that.

They've sat there for a while, when Rupert remarks in a low voice, the kind that doesn't carry: "Have you gotten your results yet?"

{{As the frailest of glass cannons, she usually pays well for a bodyguard, though occasionally she might need to-- or choose to-- pay in things other than coin.
She could be a bodyguard, but most likely in very specialized situations-- needing a mage specifically to protect someone, or in an environment without typical combat (a royal court, etc)}}

((Not sure how familiar you are with the new novel featuring Neo but we could do something with some of the concepts in that if you like?

Specifically imagining Pyrrha being told she's there to "guard" Neo but she rapidly realizes she's there to act more as somebody to drag Neo home when she doesn't want to be/act as a jailer.))
