Always by your side

The "My Cause" Meme
a shipping meme

Find a cause and serve it. Some people are good at that, being natural-born followers. Others are more rebellious and don't subordinate well, yet can follow their heart if they believe their actions are right. Most find themselves dedicated to something at some time during their lives. But what if that cause isn't a something, but a someone? A person.

The particulars aren't that important. You're a dedicated servant. A best friend. A soldier. brainwashed to know no better. A bodyguard charged to protect. Somebody who ended up here along the way and just felt like you need to take care of this person because they'll probably trip on their own shoelaces. Maybe they're too delicate for this world and you want to keep them innocent. Whether the person you're tangled up with has a mission themselves or are merely living their life, somebody has to look out for them.

This resolve may be easier to keep before you realize than your feelings towards them are beyond platonically protective; if you're the sort to put all thoughts into the mission, this new distraction may be confusion. You may need to protect them from something new...yourself.

Mention if you want to play the one with the "cause" or the "cause" itself.

Play out any aspect of the relationship: beginning, realizations, attempt to "protect," what have you.
