Personal Bodyguard (Axton X Male Reader)

The commander knows there is going to be trouble when Handsome Jack enters his view. The very same person who tortured and imprisoned him for 4 months, or 5, or even longer. He doesn’t remember how long he has been in here, but one day is already too long. Although it took a mental toll upon him, he still has his sanity left.

“Hey loser. I’ve got some good news for ya.” Handsome Jack removes the electric barrier that was between them. Axton merely stares at him. “Why the long face? I’m getting you out of here. Ooor do you want to stay? Which is fine by the way.”

With a sigh, Axton stands up. Surely whatever this is going to be is better than being locked up and tortured.

With two guards standing beside him and the CEO in front of him, they enter into Jack’s office. As they walk towards his desk, Axton see a new face, but one he knows well. Y/N, his son. Being the son of Handsome Jack, he has many targets on his back, though besides his status, there isn’t much known about him. Axton wonders if he’s as much of a psychopath Jack is, or if he’s actually sane.

Handsome Jack sits behind his desk, while Axton get placed on the seat next to the son. “If you somehow don’t know, Axton, this is my son, Y/N. Y/N, this is your new bodyguard/butler.”

“Bodyguard?”

“You heard me. You can imagine how many morons are trying to kidnap or even kill my son. So, I need some flesh bags to protect him, and one that is at least decent. Meaning congratulation! You got promoted from torture doll to slave!” Handsome smugly smiles, though the other two men doesn’t look amused. “That being said, don’t act smart and think: ‘It’s finally my opportunity to kick Handsome Jack in the balls and kill his son’. Well, have fun with your head being blown off. There is going to be a bomb implemented in your body and if his heart stop, goodbye head! Also, that would also happen if you went too far away from him. So, you’re in.”

Axton looks back at Y/N. He’s surprised that the man isn’t smiling as he suffers. He’s definitely different from his father, but that doesn’t mean he’s a good man. He then looks back at Jack. “Do I got a choice?”

“No, not really.” Handsome Jack stands up. “Don’t worry about it. You’re smart…! Kinda. Just do you job and you will be fine.” He gestures to his men to do the following action. “Alright, let’s plant that bomb.”

With a sharp pain in his neck, Axton gets an injection that puts him asleep. With that, his entire situation is going to change.

It’s been about 3 weeks being Y/N’s bodyguard, but right now he’s more like a butler. Apparently, Y/N almost never goes out on the field and fight. All he’s doing is relaxing, whether it’s gaming, going to a bar, or right now gambling at a casino. Which is fine for Axton, but he likes to do at least some fighting. Working for Y/N is surprising not as bad as Axton thought. He isn’t much of a talker like his dad. Or sadistic like his dad. Or anything like his dad at all, expect materialistic.

Currently, Axton stands guard as Y/N continues to run down his coins at a big slot machine in the VIP section. It’s been an hour as they’re there.

“C’mon, give me cherries…” Y/N mutters. However, judging by the sound effect, Axton think he didn’t win at all. “Damnit…”

Axton usually remains quiet, since he doesn’t want to risk him getting back in his cell and to be tortured. Though with the situation, he tries some small talk. “Are you doing alright, sir?”

“Yeah, I guess…” Y/N mutters. He takes another chance on the slots. “Luck is just not on my side today. What sucks is that I have a poker tournament later.” Again, he loses.

Since Axton feels a bit bored, he wanted to do something fun. “Can I have a spin, sir?”

“Knock yourself out.” Y/N stands aside, allowing Axton to pull the lever. It doesn’t take long before the results get revealed, making Y/N look surprised. “You’ve gotta-! One spin, and you got jackpot?!”

Axton chuckles. “Lady luck is just by my side.” He grabs the coins to hand it over to Y/N.

“You got a gambling history by any chance?”

“Sort of. Did it back in the days with my friends.”

“Any chance you can poker?”

Axton likes where this is going. “Want me to play for you?”

“It’s just if I lose, I have to go on this date with this old guy…”

“Then why did you agreed with those terms?” Axton asks.

“I get 50% of his income.” Y/N answers. “It’s not really because I want more money, I just want to screw him financially over.”

Axton hums. “I guess I better win.”

“That would be great!” Y/N thankfully says. “I reward you. I give you the half of the profits I get.”

“And how much is that?”

“Just a couple of millions.”

Axton is surprised by hearing that. Just a couple of millions? How rich is Handsome Jack and his son? Not just that, he gets rewarded for it if he just wins an poker tournament? Now this is not only because of getting Y/N’s good side.

Later that day, and the two are in the official poker showdown. Excluding Y/N, there are three rich men, one of them includes the older man that looks perverted at the young man, making Y/N wants to barf.

“God, I want to make him suffer…” Y/N looks besides him. “How are you’re win rates?”

“Good enough.” Axton smiles assures. “Don’t worry. I won’t let you end up with someone like him.”

“That would be nice. Thanks.”

And so, the four men sits down on the table. The other three quick to see that the CEO’s son isn’t at the table, with Y/N quick to say. “My butler playing for my steed. Deal with it or beat it.”

With no complaints, the battle begins. The group receives their cards and seeing how they’re dealing with. The group begins to give their offers, all dealing with excessive amount of money. That’s it, until Axton’s turn.

“All in.”

Everyone’s eyes widen, even Y/N, who looks extremely worried. The two other billionaires are quick to pull back, while the older man doesn’t.

“All in.”

This is it. In one round, it’s going to end. It’s either going to be suffering for Y/N, or not. Trusting Axton, he puts all his faith in him. The old rich man shows his card, showing four of a kind, making Y/N clenching his teeth. That’s when Axton reveals his cards with a smirk on his face.

“Royal flush.”

With an woohoo, Y/N is quick to celebrate Axton’s victory. This includes gloating to the perverted older man. “Suck it, bitch! Have fun of half of your income to me, bitch!”

From that day, and Axton can’t imagine a day without Y/N. Being bound with a bomb, he’s bound to spend most of the day with him. Still, he forgot about it quickly. Y/N is definitely not like his father. The only comparisons they have is being charismatic and materialistic, but that’s it. From what Axton knows, Y/N isn’t the fondest of Jack’s idea of taking over Pandora, but also doesn’t care if he does. Both of them view low on bandits, but at least the son can tell bandits and regular people apart. But besides the difference in moral, Y/N is very fun to be around with, alongside very generous with his gift giving. If things were in a different, Axton would definitely joke that Y/N is his sugar daddy, despite younger than him.

One of these awesome days is with Y/N and Axton on the beach on Pandora Hyperion claimed. They’re on a privet resort, with both men on chairs with sunglasses on. While Y/N has a swimming trunk that just end above his kneecaps, Axton is almost naked with him wearing speedo. He usually keeps it to trunk, but he likes to show off his body. See, he has an interest in Y/N, a romantic interest. And he hopes with showing off his body that it will help his chances to get with the billionaire.

“Isn’t this your first time back in Pandora?”

“It is.” Both men are talking as they enjoy tanning.

“Is it usually this awesome?”

“If you mean with awesome, enjoying the day under the sun, not worrying about death and killing psychos, then no.”

Y/N chuckles. “Do you miss it?”

“Sometimes to be honest. I… haven’t seen my allies and comrades in so long.” Axton often is homesick, missing the times he spends with Maya, Zero, Salvador, Gaige and Krieg. He was an important part of the squad, often considering himself ‘the sane’ one. He even misses the rest of the Crimson Raiders. “I wonder if they hate me if you find out.”

Y/N frowns, feeling guilty with hogging Axton for so long. “Why would they you? You were forced to put in this situation.”

“I would use that excuse if I was back in my jail, not on the beach, tanning my sweet cheeks.” Axton looks from Y/N to look back at the sun. “Honestly, I got to say, being with you… makes me happy. I get paid well. My job is easy, and I got to enjoy it with the best guy I know.”

Still, Y/N looks concerned. “You sure you’re happy?”

Axton then looks back at his friend and sits up. “If I got to be honest, I still hate your dad. He’s a shitbag and if you weren’t in the picture, I would escape without hesitation and rejoin my group. …You know the reason why I didn’t.”

“You would rather stay with me? Even if it means working with your enemy.”

“Yes.” Axton says with a genuine smile. “I try to look at the positive. If Jack wins and eventually steps down, I at least know his son will do a better job than him.”

It takes some effort to get a smile on Y/N’s face. “Thanks.” Axton then lays back down. To his surprise, he can feel his hand being grabbed by Y/N’s, making him smile. “I’m glad I’m with you. I wish I could do more to make things right.”

“…I could scootch a bit over.”

Y/N laughs. “Sure thing.”

And so, Axton put his legs and pushes the chair next to Y/N’s. Back in his position, Y/N lays next to him, with his head lying on Axton’s chest. The billionaire can feel the heat coming from his body.

“Feel a bit better?”

“A lot.”

With both men smiling happily, Y/N can’t help but feel ill in his stomach. If it’s just by Axton’s own decisions, than everything is fine. However, he has been captured, tortured for months and then forced to work under him. Although it ended up well, the way things went makes Y/N feel sick.

Later that day, in the dark of night, Axton suddenly got waken up by Y/N. They’re inside of their resort room. While Y/N is fully dressed, Axton isn’t.

Axton yawns. “Everything alright?”

“We’re leaving.”

The soldier raises an eyebrow. “I thought we were supposed to spend another week here?”

“No, I meant we’re leaving Hyperion.”

“W-What!?” Axton is quick to get out of his bed. All the while, Y/N gestures him to hurry up as the commander puts on his clothes. “What are you talking about?”

“Axton, I know you’re happy with me, but the ways things went is just wrong.”

After putting on his pants, Axton puts on his shirt. “I was okay with it.”

“But I’m not. You deserve better than this.”

“What about you?”

“The bomb goes off if you go too far away…”

Axton knows what’s he getting at. “You’re coming too? You know pass these fancy beaches there is a world full of psychos and deadly creatures.”

“I know.” Y/N says. “I also know that if people discover that I’m the son of Handsome Jack, then it would be the end of me, or worse, torture me.”

Axton walks over to him “And you would risk that for me?”

“Honestly, yes.” Y/N says. “I got a car. We just have to figure out where to go and find a doctor to remove the bomb.”

“I guess sanctuary sounds as the safest option.” Axton comments. “Although I will have to protect you. I doubt all of my friends are going to like you.”

“I know. I won’t expect to.”

After hearing all of that, Axton smiles. “In my life, I’ve been with many gals and gents, but none of them are as selfless as you are. And to think it’s the spoiled son of an CEO.”

“Does that mean we’re leaving?”

Axton leans to him to give him a kiss. “We’re leaving. But I continue being your bodyguard, that and hopefully also something more than that.”

Y/N grabs his hands, holding it dearly. “Of course. I guess I have to pay you for the compensation.”

Axton chuckles. “As much I would love to get a reward, we have to go. So, shall we go my prince?”

“Of course, my knight.”
