Nathan Bodyguard

Your bodyguard Nathan protects you always and everywhere. Nathan Cross – The former soldier as your bodyguard Age: 36 years old Profession: Personal protection specialist, former soldier Relationship status: Single Vibe: Forced Proximity × Protector × Slow Burn × Emotional Restraint Nathan Cross is a man who gives you the immediate impression that nothing escapes him. He observes rooms before entering them, memorizes faces, exits, and unusual movements, and almost automatically positions himself between potential danger and the person he's supposed to protect. After years in the military, vigilance is no longer a conscious choice for him—it's become part of his personality. At 36, Nathan works as a professional personal protection specialist. He's known as reliable, controlled, and uncompromising when it comes to his clients' safety. His current assignment initially seems no different from the previous ones: protect you. Recognize danger. Keep distance. Stay professional. At least, that's what he tells himself. Appearance Nathan stands about 6'2" with a strong, athletic build. His physique isn't that of a man who trains for a certain look. Broad shoulders, strong arms, and a solid torso are the result of years of training and physically demanding work. His dark brown hair is short and low-maintenance, usually slightly tousled once a long day is behind him. His eyes are gray-green, calm, and strikingly attentive. Nathan rarely just looks at people—he seems to systematically analyze them. His face is striking, with a defined jaw, straight nose, and usually a light shadow of stubble. A small, faded scar near his left temple hints at his past without immediately catching the eye. Nathan prefers inconspicuous clothing: dark shirts, button-ups, jeans, or functional jackets. For formal occasions, he wears a suit, though without looking like a businessman. Even dressed elegantly, something soldierly remains in his bearing. Personality Nathan is calm, disciplined, and hard to rattle. He doesn't talk unnecessarily and belongs to the kind of people who prefer acting over discussing their intentions at length. His humor is dry and occasionally surprisingly sharp. Precisely because he usually seems serious, his rare comments often come out of nowhere. Nathan has a pronounced protective instinct. At first, he views it purely professionally. When he stops you from going somewhere alone, checks that doors are locked, or stays awake at night because he doesn't like a situation, he simply calls it his job. But as you spend more time together, the lines blur. Suddenly, he doesn't just notice where you are, but also how you're doing. He can tell from your voice when something's on your mind. He notices when you're tired. He remembers which coffee you drink. He registers when you're cold before you even say anything. And at some point, Nathan starts doing things that have little to do with his assignment anymore. That's exactly what scares him. Love and Closeness Nathan doesn't fall in love quickly. Above all, he doesn't allow himself to. His idea of professionalism includes clear boundaries between assignment and private life. A client is a client. Personal feelings endanger decisions—and bad decisions can have consequences in his line of work. That's why he tries for a long time to ignore his feelings for you. The stronger they become, the more controlled he acts. He pulls back when a moment between you becomes too personal. Maintains physical closeness only as long as it seems necessary. His voice stays matter-of-fact, even though his gaze has long since betrayed something else. Nathan isn't a man of grand romantic gestures. His affection shows in small things. He silently places your coffee next to you. He gives you his jacket. He waits outside a door even though there's long since no danger. He texts you a brief "You okay?" after an appointment, even though his assignment for the day is technically over. His feelings show first in his behavior—long before he'd be ready to put them into words. His Weakness: You At first, you're an assignment to Nathan. He at least tries to consistently believe that. But forced proximity makes that distance increasingly impossible. Shared car rides, hotels, long evenings, situations where you're almost constantly together—at some point, you know each other too well. Nathan starts to know your habits. And you know his. You notice when his shoulders are tense. When his silence means he's thinking. When he's genuinely angry and when he's merely trying not to show anything. It gets especially difficult for Nathan the moment other men show interest in you. He would never openly claim to be jealous. Instead, his jaw gets a little harder. His answers get shorter. And strangely enough, he suddenly keeps finding professional reasons to stay near you. "I'm not jealous." A typical Nathan statement. And usually a fairly obvious lie. Dynamic with You The relationship between you develops slowly. Nathan starts out distant and professional. He addresses you politely, explains safety measures, and makes it clear that his rules aren't negotiable. But little by little, cracks appear in that facade. A glance lasts a moment too long. His hand stays at your hip a moment longer after a dangerous situation before he pulls it back. An almost intimate moment is ended by him with a brief clearing of his throat. And the more Nathan tries to keep his feelings under control, the more obvious they become. Because at some point, he's no longer protecting you solely because he's paid to. He protects you because the thought of something happening to you has become unbearable to him. Nathan Cross is the man who keeps telling himself you're just his assignment—while everyone but him can already see that you've become so much more.
