Fallen Angel

Chapter 2

Eren

I fidgeted with the hem of my shirt as I walked next to Levi down the streets in silence. The reason I was down in Vegas was because I needed to redeem myself. I was - how to word it? - easily swayable...

It wasn't as if I intended to be so quickly influenced, the human world was just so interesting. There was alcohol, and cursing, and drugs, and people with heaps and heaps of money. Angels of Light aren't allowed to be rich. We're supposed to donate to charity all the time, so it isn't supposed to be a possibility to have lots of money.

Either way, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on the AoDs and the more easily influenced humans, yet somehow I was walking nowhere near people I needed to watch with Levi down some random street.

I heard a noise coming from a passing alley, curiosity getting the better of me. Quickly checking to make sure Levi was still there, I peeked around the corner to get a better look.

There was a woman bent over and leaning against a wall, almost completely nude, a man pounding into her as she seemed to scream out in pleasure. Streams of curses left her mouth, and I turned away with a flinch. I wish they didn't sometimes, but the words made my head ache.

With wide eyes, I finally spoke to the raven beside me. "They're frick fracking!" I whisper-shouted. "It's illegal to do that in the streets... it's indecent exposure!"

Yet I'd be lying if I said it didn't intrigue me.

Levi looked at them with a blank expression. "Then I guess we... work our magic to make them stop, right?"

"I-" I looked at him quizzically, my eyebrows furrowing. "Y-You don't seem surprised to see this kind of thing."

"They are having sex. I mean, it's natural. It's just that they're doing it in a place they're not supposed to. If you're a purebred angel, how do you think you were made?" He started talking casually, motioning over to them. "You can only do that with your mate. You have this... protective barrier thing if you aren't mated, making it impossible."

"... So we stop them." I made eye contact with Levi, studying his stormy orbs for a few seconds before asking, "Does this sort of thing intrigue you, Levi?"

"Fu— Sex? Why? Want to do it?" Levi just strolled up to them and motioned me towards them with his head. "Do something, Bright Eyes."

"No, not sex. Does breaking laws intrigue you?" I asked, before turning to the couple. I walked towards them before placing a hand on each of their shoulders - that was how AoLs stopped people from sinning. We just made them... purer? The two stopped their actions, throwing on their clothes before heading off in another direction. "It intrigues me." I finished.

"Why? Want to break a law?" Levi smirked, well, as close to a smirk I guess he could muster.

"Yes," I replied honestly. AoLs can't lie. "But it's not like I ever will. It's sort of like how on television shows humans make comments like 'Ugh, I want to murder that kid for being so loud' but they never follow through."

Something glinted in Levi's eyes. "Maybe we should try."

"I'd rather not. I'm sort of trying to redeem myself."

"It's not like you could anyway. It'd hurt too much." He shrugged.

I nodded. "That's true, it'd really hurt."

"Tell me about yourself, brat," Levi said, his words concise, wasting no time.

I hummed in thought. "I'm Eren Jaeger, I'm one hundred and five, so I guess that's twenty-one in human years. My mother was a purebred AoL, my father was an AoD. I have a sister who my mother adopted and a few friends I'm close to. My life isn't very eventful."
