Give meeeeee *spins wheel* people using themselves as shields!

Creepy/angry person looking at Character B just the wrong way or saying just the wrong thing, causing Character A to immediately shoot out their arm in front of B, glaring at the bad person like no tomorrow, daring them to hurt B. Perhaps even taking it a step further and literally pushing B behind them to get Maximum Shielding Potential

Or that but 100x more dramatic: the creepy/angry person striding up to B (who is standing relatively alone) with a purpose, and right before they can get their hands on B’s trembling figure trying to make itself smaller, A swoops in between them, chest puffed up and ready to throw down if the bad person takes one more step so help them-

A just sliiiding in between B and the thing of danger. Curling themselves around B like a shell on a turtle, white knuckled grips on B’s clothing, eyes closed crushingly tight with their only thoughts being thank god it won’t touch B

Shoving! Pushing! B staring down the danger with either fear or angry determination, preparing themselves for a world of pain, only to feel something aggressively dig into their side, an umph or oof coming from their lips, followed by them getting knocked away by a few feet. After the shock wears off, they suddenly realize they don’t know where A is, and as they sit/stand up, their eyes widen in horror as they look over the damage on A that was originally meant for them

B’s head really hurts. It’s pounding like it never has before... hang on, why is the world dark? Did they pass out? Wait, are their eyes closed? Maybe they should open them- ow, okay the world is bright. At least it’s getting blocked by A who is leaning over them. Hold on, why is A leaning over them? And can A stop yelling, please, it’s really not helping their aforementioned headache. But why is A exactly yelling? Is someone else here that’s- oh

Character A offering themselves up to take B’s place for whatever their captors have in store for them. Nuff said

Bonus points? If there’s any kind of major size difference between A and B
