Your name is Sollux Captor, and you've been assigned to watch guard over a human named Karkat Vantas. Sounds easy enough, right? Wrong, he's a huge asshole who can't get his love life in order.

Angels were said to be a myth, a fairy tale, or a creation of god. Some believed they were bringers of life, and of death, that they created the land, and could destroy it too. They were both feared and beloved, worshiped and disregarded. The truth of the matter is, they're very much real, and what is said about them is both fact, and fiction. They didn't bring life, but rather protected it, and only certain angels brought about death, generally the fallen who sided with Lucifer. Though some come down to earth when someone was about to die, it was generally to bring their souls up to the gates of heaven, or to purgatory where they're forced to wander for millennia, or until a judgement arose for them.

Their wings would vary in color though, depending on their rank of course. The lowest was generally a maroon color, the highest a pink, almost purple-like color. Of course angel wings were bright, flourescent even. The only way to tell one from the fallen was the glow, when they fell their wings burned up, feathers all but torn off and eventually replaced with a darker set. It was similar to molting, but brutally painful. Aside from that, they were close to identical, beautiful features, irresistible, alluring. Only the fallen angels, or demons as some called them, had darker features, generally dark hair, black, soulless eyes, and a temperament to boot.

This wasn't always the case though, a few kept their supernatural looks, light hair and bright eyes, some even had dark hair to start out with when they were once angels of God. This of course was a rarity, and so was a double set of wings for those of a lower rank, such as that of Guardian Angel. Such oddities however were something a particular golden-winged male had, along with brunette hair and an extremely odd set of eyes. The left was an electric blue, and the right a bright red. Most of the angels, including the archangels both feared, and adored him for not only those features, but his double set of wings. Two large ones that spanned thirteen feet across, and six and a half feet for one singular, these were the ones on his shoulder blades. The other set was smaller and rested above his hips, each three feet, and six feet when fully spread.

This celestial being went by the name of Sollux Captor. He had just recently been given a new duty by God, or as most know him by in the heavens, the Signless. His new assignment was to watch over a human male named Karkat Vantas. It had been almost a year since he started, the poor boys old guardian had to quit his duties, saying that this particular human was almost impossible to reason with.

Of course an angel couldn't reason with one other than subtle influences of the mind, tricks even if need be... But apparently this person was stubborn, and the mild influence angels could have over a persons mind didn't work for him. Too many demons the last one put it, saying his mind was like a wall made of psionics, a general term used for certain powers a select few angels had. One that Sollux actually possessed, along with a friend of his named Aradia. Hers were somewhat different though, and will be explained at a later date.

The heavenly being had learned over this first year that the Cancer was in fact almost cancerous to those he knew. Or rather they were cancerous to him? It was almost hard to tell, he hung out with a male who seemed rather religious, to the point it was scary, but he smoked weed and drank on occasion. sollux didn't condemn this though, it wasn't in his nature to. He had his own thoughts, and his own mindset. Though he was to say at least his human didn't do any of it, it was still how he acted around the man... Always angry, always yelling, calling him the worse best friend, sometimes going on tangents as to why he was even friends with him. Really he found it all very humorous himself, and would often float around and chuckle at the display.

The human also had a horrid temper, going off about how everyone was some form of an asshole, douche, nooksucker, whore, any name you could think of, he said. He'd even go into detail about how shitty of a person he was, once saying he deserved to be crumpled up like a piece of paper, spit on, stepped on, thrown into a trash bin only to ne incinerated and live out his feeble life like the piece of burnt of trash he was, destined to float around the earth like the ashes of the remains would, causing havoc wherever the small particles landed.

Really he could find a lot wrong with this particular person, and most would have found him a lost cause, angels shouldn't though. The fact one did was pathetic, and Sollux was close to disgusted at the fact it had happened. Though he wasn't particularly fond of the male at times, at least he was interesting enough, right? He wouldn't get bored, that was for sure!

Currently Sollux was sitting in the air, a book in his hands that he had taken from the heavens with him, the job could get boring at times. Especially when the kid was sitting at his computer desk, writing something for school. He was a senior in highschool, and it wasn't something the Gemini was interested in personally. So he continued to read of the tale of Adam and Eve, how they were torn apart, and committed sins. Betraying what the signless gave them, and doing the one thing he had forbid of them. A boring tale, but he'd never read the full story himself, and was more or less immersed in the book. It went way back to Adam's first wife, Lilith, up until when he was with Eve and they ate the fruit. A lot of it was a myth, and only the angels knew of the truth. They were the first made, and close to test subjects, trying to see if they'd behave properly, or had a will of their own.

They never truly sinned, only Lilith had, Adam and Eve were casted away, but not banished from the heavens after they had died. It was all lost and made up in ancient texts, really interesting to be honest to see how humans believed such folklore. Besides, angels were the first to roam the earth, until the Signless pulled them up into a newly created world, golden gates, clouds, everything anyone could dream of. It was all because he had a new design to live on the earth, testing out all sorts of animals and creatures until he decided on humans. This of course he made through evolution, making it progress until they were fully created from billions of years of experiments and death. The angels were naturally outraged, and the highest of them all, Lucifer, detested the idea and rebelled. Him along with one third of the angels were casted away, and banished to live on earth. The fall took seven days, and upon landing, Lucifer created hell, seven different levels, and his throne on the coldest part of it all.

A sudden jerky motion brought Sollux out of his thoughts as he noticed Karkat's chair about to tip backwards, and he wasted no time flicking his wrist to use his powers to stop him from falling over, and landing sprawled out on the floor with possible (but not probable) injuries. He was lucky that the only thing to be seen when he was using his powers were a slight outline of his wings and figure. To a human his normally golden wings would look red and blue, since perception was different for them. His top left would look red, top right blue, bottom left blue, and bottom right red. All of which was translucent, with a slight glow to it. This however was not the case since the male hadn't turned around, and the second he stopped his powers, the glow would fade away to nothing but a few sparks that'd last several short moments.

Karkat almost seemed confused for a second, as if he knew he was going to fall and was suddenly righted. Or that's how he looked to Sollux, which made him wince a bit when the human turned around to look in his direction. all he'd see is a few miniscule sparks of red and blue, if even that. The young male seemed to shrug it off before continuing back to his work, as if nothing had happened. Lucky Sollux, if he was noticed by a human, he'd be assigned a different job, or even something further into the humans life. He had more than enough shit to deal with, what with being bored and saving this kids ass every few days. He was quite literally a living bomb. One day a truck nearly hit him, he'd almost gotten killed from being mugged, (Sollux influenced a human nearby to come over to them and call the police. It worked wonders.) even almost slipped off of a bridge into the raging waters of a river, Sollux managed to solidify long enough to straighten him out, and disappear in time to not be noticed. The fucking kid was a death trap. It sucked.

Too bad he'd still get bored even with all of the work that came with this temperamental child. More often than not he wound up moving various items in the house, changing them up and hiding them in odd places. He once moved the computer mouse to the top of the fridge. Basically, when he got bored, the outcome was something similar to a haunting. Usually he did this when Karkat would spend too much time on the computer, and would even hide his books if he deemed it right to. Or wanted to get a reaction out of the vicious human. It was to say the least, a good use of his time...

Or what he thought was, who wouldn't be tempted to mess with this coppery-haired male? He'd blow a fuse and start wearing left and right trying to find the book, or a missing paper. If it got to be annoying though, sollux would move it back to its original place, causing the other to get even more flustered and pissed off, swearing the paper out before shoving it (if it was completed) into a folder, then into his backpack. All in all, Sollux was a mischievous angel who was guarding a rather frivolous, and hot-headed human male.

This day was no more unusual than the others, side from the fact he was almost spotted by him for saving him from falling onto a carpet. Which was unsual, and he had a suspicion that this human was purposely getting himself into trouble more frequently to see if he was invincible or some stupid shit. That or to expose his little ghost friend for what he was. Well, ghost was hardly a correct term for Sollux! He always scowled when Karkat mentioned it, just because he pulled a few pranks didn't mean he was a ghost. Though Karkat's suspicion wasn't helping his position any, meaning he had to refrain from moving objects, and all around fucking with the human. It started a few weeks ago, he noticed him talking to his friend Gamzee about some odd phenomenons happening, to which the lankier male would reply with something about miracles? Or that was wicked. It was something he never paid much attention to, he wasn't assigned to listen to bullshit teenagers spewing about miracles, and the wonders of life, and whoa look, a ghost buddy protecting his wicked bro or whatever the fuck it was this human would say.

To be honest, Sollux only paid attention half the time to what Gamzee Makara would say when around Karkat. He listened to details that were important, but the second miracles, or God came into play, he'd zone out. He knew what he had to know about the Signless, and every mundane earthling only assumed they knew. They thought they knew, but they never truly had pure knowledge on who 'God' was, or who Jesus was. Jesus? More like a little prick who wouldn't stop talking no matter how much everyone tried to get him to. Kankri, the insufferable some of the angels would call him... A little joke, and he seemed to not mind it one bit, saying how the name was perfectly fine, and they could call him that all they liked.

Though to Sollux t wasn't very interesting when the little son of God was no longer bothered, and preferred the nickname over a few others. Such as brat. But he was never one to really call him that, and generally drifted away from him whenever he returned back to the heavens, which was generally every month or two in order to send a report, get more items to keep him occupied, and return back to earth. He even, as odd as it seemed, had a laptop way up at his place in the skies. When he was off duty, he'd do a few rounds of human coding... finding it to be a useful way to dwindle his time away. For all of the thousands of years he lived, all of the things humans made, computers were by far the most intriguing to him. He couldn't do anything else really, it was like an addiction... Not really though. He had nothing to do with the codes but send them to a few other beings on the skies who took his interest in modern human culture. It wasn't a sin to enjoy such things, as long as they didn't deviate from their duties, they could drink and do as they pleased.

These were none of his concerns though, since right now he had to watch this human do the mundane. Which was get up from his pathetic excuse for a chair, and head into the kitchen. He often avoided his father and mother (his father with good reason.) and just meandered into the kitchen to make a sandwich. Up this was boring, and Sollux soon found himself floating back into the bedroom to move a computer around a bit... and okay he couldn't help himself! He wound up typing out a quick code while the computer was still on, and made it seem like it had been an old one, quickly closing out when he heard footsteps and ghosted away. At least it'd seem like an old file the way he disguised it, if Karkat could ever find it. He never had time to finish it either, only typed out a few lines, and BAM! Karkat's footsteps interrupted him. Jeez he needed to find a way to amuse himself besides mess around with things in the house.

Basically not he was floating over Karkat's bed, his wings beating quietly in the room, something this humans ears would never register. It was only something other celestial beings could hear, or even spiritual ghosts, those left behind for various reasons. The ones who chose to stay, or didn't realize they did. For now he'd take his usual position over the bed, waiting for this human to finish eating and sleep so he could do the same. Even a being like himself needed to sleep. Two hours was all he needed, but he enjoyed the rest when he could have it, despite not fully needing it. It wasn't until two in the morning that Karkat finally got off the computer, and slept., meaning he could too.

It wasn't the ideal job, but it was Sollux's...and if he didn't do it, who would protect this clueless human? No one.

A/N: It's been a long time since I've really written anything... And this is the first time I've posted anything to ... So I'd really appreciate some reviews to know how I'm doing. If not then that's okay though it'd be really helpful and be tons of motivation for me. xD well in hopes you all enjoytheirs first chapter. The next will be in karkat's point of view, then it will be mixed between the two each chapter, intermixed and others singular of just one or the other.
