Bodyguard and Princess in love garcy au
Wonder where this idea came from
1. Princess Lucy has trained her entire life to rule her country. She knows her duty, knows one day she'll be expected to marry for politics, knows she can't fall in love with just anyone. She knows this, in her head. Unfortunately, her heart hasn't gotten the memo, and refuses to accept that Tol snarky bodyguards are not the stuff political alliances are made of
2. Garcia Flynn has been Lucy's personal bodyguard for several years now. He knows how determined she is, knows she would rather study history than make it (unless she would make it by being a world famous singer), knows she's more likely to be killed by tripping on air and breaking her neck than assassination (has saved her from her own lack of coordination more times than he really cares to think about), knows she can't dance (see lack of coordination), knows she is unfailingly kind, and knows he's hopelessly in love with her
3. Since they both refuse to acknowledge what can never be, neither knows how the other feels (well, they're both convinced they're Super Obvious and the other Knows but doesn't feel the same, but they're actually oblivious), and they are both resigned to Pining From Afar. Except they can't really pine from afar because they spend almost every waking hour together and it's Torture but they're both resolved to Suffer in Silence. That works right up until Flynn has the bright idea to try to teach Lucy to dance, and there's music and laughing and holding and Gazing into Each Other's Eyes and Ignored Feelings Coming to the Fore and Leaning In...
4. And they're interrupted by a legit assassination attempt, and suddenly Flynn has to spirit Lucy away to a royal safe house until the assassins can be caught and dealt with. So now they're living together in closeish quarters, isolated from the rest of the world, just them and their Feelings which aren't so unrequited after all. And they still know they can't act on them, but it's so much harder to remember why, and it's so much nicer to pretend they have a future
5. And then there's another assassination attempt, and Flynn gets shot protecting Lucy and Lucy goes a little nuts, grabs Flynn's gun and offs the assassin herself and refuses to leave his side until he's out of danger, and when he wakes up in the hospital she's there, holding his hand, and she informs him that as a reward for his bravery he's gotten a whole slew of Royal Commendations and a Title and also her hand, if he wants it (and he almost misses that last, because he's on the good drugs and she's mumbling and not looking him in the eye, but yes, oh yes, he wants), and when the doctor comes in she informs them he's never going to heal if they keep kissing like that
