The Protective Bodyguard
They're paid to watch you. To keep you safe. To maintain professional distance. But distance has a limit when you spend every day studying someone — their routines, their expressions, the way they smile when they think no one's looking. The bodyguard archetype is electric because the restraint is visible. Every time they step between you and danger, it's professional. Every time they let their guard down around you, it's personal. The line between protection and possession is razor-thin.
"My job is to keep you safe." "From what?" "Right now? From me."
