Bodyguard Crush Appreciation Post:

• ‘I don’t want a bodyguard/this is humiliating and I’m going to pretend it’s not happening’ vs ‘just another bratty kid who won’t listen that I’ll have to drag out of trouble’
• awkward thank-yous
• MORE awkward thank-you gestures:  protectee buying gifts, trying to give bodyguard a day off – impractical but well-meaning is good; so is surprisingly thoughtful
• MOMENTS OF TENSION WHEREIN THEIR LIVES DEPEND ON EACH OTHER
• realizing Feelings but assuming that they could never be returned
• I don’t care what direction this goes bc it is Good either way
• Trying To Create Distance by returning to pure professionalism OR struggling to maintain a friendlier relationship but doing it so well the other person assumes there’s no chance of Feelings
• this is one of the few contexts in which I will accept a variant of Gayngst as in:  but I guard them and they’re always flirting/sleeping w/ people of the opposite sex; they are clearly So Straight and I have No Hope  (but surprise!  bisexuality!)
• DRAMATIC ACTION SCENES WITH FROZEN MOMENTS OF EYE CONTACT
• yes I’m weak for this cheap cinematic trope shHHHH don’t you judge me
• protectee caring for the bodyguard’s woundssssss
• bodyguard tending the protectee’s woundssss
• contrasting two injuries:  one in which the bodyguard is brusque and efficient and one in which they’re gentle and caring/protectee is panicking and insisting they can’t do it vs trying to calm their bodyguard and holding their own panic in
• BODYGUARD QUITS JOB.  PROTECTEE IS HEARTBROKEN UNTIL BODYGUARD COMES BACK AND ASKS THEM OUT + EXPLAINS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A BREACH OF CONTRACT

can your otp be a bodyguard crush?  are you sure?  CONSIDER THIS CAREFULLY AS MANY WONDERS AWAIT YOU
