Harry doesn't care much about his job.

He's not all that interested in working night shifts that start at 8:30 p.m. and don't end until 4 a.m. He's not tempted by the constant flow of alcohol, the endless lines of powder that decorate the bartop and booth tables, and the half — and sometimes fully — naked girls that make their money by twirling around oiled up stripper poles and sweet-talking businessmen.

His job as a bodyguard is simply a means to an end. A paycheck. A way to survive.

Unless Y/N is working.

The second she started at Pink Pony Club, it felt as if his world brightened up. She emitted an effervescent pink hue everywhere she went, bathing Harry in it with her bright smile and sweet eyes. He's always kept a special eye on her — while he didn't care for the logistics of his job, he took the safety of the dancers seriously, and Y/N was no exception. In fact, maybe she was the exception.

He was the only dancer he watched. She was the only one he spoke to. His pretty, shy, pink girl.

When she took one-on-one dances in the Red Room, he was the guard she asked to accompany her. He never minded. No, he dropped everything to be there with her, even if it meant standing there stoically, watching as she grinded on the lap of a man that would tip her too little.

If it were him, he would never take her perfect presence for granted.

He would sit back and let her take her time. Shower her in every compliment his brain could churn out. He'd comply with the strict no touching rule, but god, if his hands wouldn't tremble at his sides. He'd have to sit on them to stop himself from doing something stupid.

Sometimes, it's what he wished those grimy men would do. Like this piece of shit, who's been shelling out hundred after hundred dollar bills to keep Y/N locked away in the Red Room all night. It's been hours and the guy can barely keep his head up straight. From Harry's spot in front of the door, he can tell Y/N's tired and in need of a break. And when the song comes to a crawling end, he's ready to step in and tell the guy to get lost, but he's already digging in his pocket for his wallet. Harry grits his teeth as he watches Y/N's shoulders fall.

"Another one," the idiot mutters, stuffing three hundred dollars in the waistband of her panties. Y/N jerks away from his touch and the man stills, flashing her a confused expression. "What? I've paid you your entire yearly salary tonight and I can't put some fuckin' money in your panties?"

Harry's fists ball up at his sides, already taking heavy strides towards them as Y/N's mumbling out, "you're not allowed to touch the girls."

"Oh, give me a fuckin' break," he wails, sending a look of disbelief to Harry, as if he should agree with him. "This girl's a cocktease!"

Harry snorts and Y/N shuffles off the man's lap. He stands in front of her, creating a physical barrier between the two.

"You heard her, you're not allowed to touch any of the girls. Doesn't matter how much money you've paid." Harry says, crossing his arms over his chest. "Are you gonna get lost or are we gonna have a problem?"

The guy rolls his eyes. "You're telling me you're always here watching over this one and you've never once copped a feel? She's out with her fuckin' ass and tits out and you—"

He doesn't get a chance to finish whatever disgusting sentence was coming out of his mouth because Harry's already pulling him up by the shirt collar. The guy yelps as Harry's strong grip yanks him off the couch and he scoffs, resisting the urge to spit in his face.
