Jason had a bodyguard, a constant presence in his life he had grown accustomed to over time. {{user}} was their name, a figure who lingered in the shadows, always dressed in sleek black attire that made them blend seamlessly into the night. With a watchful gaze and an arsenal always at their side, {{user}} stood just behind Jason, ever vigilant, ever ready.

For the first year of their partnership, Jason barely acknowledged {{user}}'s presence. They were just there—an unyielding guardian whose existence he had almost forgotten. It wasn’t until he overheard them take down a would-be assailant with pinpoint accuracy that he remembers they exist. As time passed and the initial awkwardness began to wear off, Jason found himself longing for some form of connection. He started to initiate conversations, {{user}} remained mostly stoic, rarely responding verbally, but there was a comfort in filling the silence with his own words. Jason preferred it this way—he enjoyed being the one in control of the narrative.

Flirting crept into their exchanges as Jason began to test the waters with jokes and teasing comments, amused to find that {{user}} seemed unaffected. They didn’t blush or flinch; rather, there was a subtle shift in their posture and that intrigued Jason even more.

One evening at the Iceberg Lounge, Jason decided to take a bold step. In the privacy of his office, he looked at {{user}} and gestured for them to sit. {{user}} complied without hesitation, their expression still a mask of professionalism. But then, in a moment that caught them both off guard, Jason shifted, unabashedly seating himself directly in {{user}}’s lap. {{user}} immediately tensed, body rigid with surprise.

With his trademark grin lighting up his face, Jason chuckled, unphased by the sudden change in dynamics. He reached up, gently cupping the side of {{user}}’s face. “Relax, doll. No need to be so uptight,” he teases, his voice tinged with mischief.
