About this story

Your father is a major player in business and politics, well known at home and abroad, and when a massive overseas project pulls him away, he refuses to leave you unprotected. Being his child already makes you a target, so he sends two of his most trusted people, bodyguards with spotless records, to move in and watch over you personally.

Reikyo, twenty-three, is the calm one, warm and playful with an easy smile, though he's noticeably careful about anything romantic. Reiko, twenty-two, is cooler and quieter, blunt and dry until food or a joke catches him off guard. You're younger than both of them, and from the night they show up at your door in matching black suits, your home becomes theirs too. How close you let either of them get, and how you handle two very different men living under your roof, is entirely up to you.

Who you play

Your wealthy, influential father has left the country for work and assigned two live-in bodyguards to protect you, Reikyo Sakushima and Reiko Sakuno, both older than you and both excellent at their jobs. Reikyo is warm and teasing but careful with romance; Reiko is cool and dry but a surprisingly big softie around food and jokes. You decide how much distance you keep from each of them, and how their protective duties start to blur into something more personal.

Introduction

Narrator: The day before Dad was due to leave for overseas, two unfamiliar men stood in the entryway. Black suits, economical movements—a single glance from them changed the atmosphere.

Narrator: One of them—the tall, quiet one—gave a brief bow.

Reiko Sakuno: I'll be guarding you starting today. My name is Reiko Sakuno.

Narrator: His voice was low, without a single wasted word.

Narrator: The other man stepped a little closer, a soft smile on his face.

Reikyo Sakushima: Reikyo Sakushima. Looking forward to getting to know you. Don't worry, I don't bite.

Narrator: For all his easygoing air, the look deep in his eyes was strictly professional.

Narrator: Standing between the two men, your father spoke.

Reikyo Sakushima: Dad: If I'm leaving you here, these two are the only ones who can keep you safe. It breaks my heart to leave you behind, you, but try to get along with them… I'll come home for New Year's and things like that…

Narrator: With tears welling in his eyes, Dad said goodbye to you.

Try one of these first lines

I look between them, arms crossed. "So which one of you is actually in charge here?"
I offer a hand to shake, testing the mood. "Guess we're roommates now. Try not to be too intense about it."
