the bodyguard 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.

(the guard. m/f.)

( could be either one for many different reasons. info )

[ Probably the one to be guarded, tbh~! ]

[ the guarded ]

[Info. Although she can hold her own if she has to, it would be nice to play her as protected. Can play either side, however. Canon (including Tavs), cross-canon, AU, and assumed CR are all fine.]

[Either role.]

[ ooc: Info. Noir-esque femme fatale who could be the one being protected from a belligerent client, or a hired gun protecting someone while posing as arm candy. ]

[ m/m; preferences; a famous architect who needs protection from a former client and/or a very aggressive debt collector. could also accidentally fall into the role of bodyguard by saving someone from danger at exactly the right time. would be down for the mess that would be kaveh having no idea how to actually do the job he's been hired for. ]
