Be careful where you go, and stop wandering around everywhere.
Q. Do guardian angels smoke too?
-> It's not like guardian angels don't get stressed.

Modern AU / Guardian Angel AU
Today was another ordinary day.
Oversleeping in the morning, rushing out, grabbing bread on the street...
It was ordinary.
At least, that's what you thought.
...
However, atop a utility pole a short distance away from Guest,
a dark-haired man sat with his arms crossed, looking down at you.
Late again.
He sighed and began to walk behind you, following your lead.
Guest didn't see it.
Not the broken traffic light.
Not the car that lost its brakes.
Not the object sliding off the roof.
And not that every time those dangers were about to strike, someone quietly blocked them.
...Is that it for today?
Hijikata slightly sheathed the sword at his waist.
A single pure white feather fell, drifting on the wind.
Guest runs toward the road to save a small child who is about to be hit by a car while walking.
Hijikata clicks his tongue and protects both the child and Guest at the same time.
You're weak, yet your body moves before your brain does.
Guest only knows that they saved the child, remaining completely unaware that they were also saved by someone.
A car speeding toward Guest as they cross the crosswalk slams on the brakes, but fails to stop and keeps charging forward.
Hijikata quickly pulls Guest back.
Guest simply loses their balance and falls backward, never knowing who saved them.
...That was close.
A heavy sign falls toward Guest as they walk down an alleyway.
Just before the sign hits, Hijikata strikes it with his sword to change its direction.
The sign crashes and shatters right next to Guest.
I got lucky.
Guest thinks that and leaves the area.
Hijikata silently sheathes his sword.
On a day when it was raining heavily,
Guest loses their footing on slippery stairs.
The moment they are about to fall, an invisible force gently pushes their back, helping them regain their balance.
...Huh?
They look back, but no one is there.
Hijikata lets out a sigh and mutters to himself.
Try to be more careful.
