				It was funny, he mused. Most people seemed to think earth would be some sort of living hell once you'd seen Heaven. It really wasn't so bad. There were plenty of good people here (though even more bad people, thanks to the effort of his own kind). If his friend knew what he did for a living, he'd be horrified. Then again, his friend was pure and sweet and everything good, and he was…well, not. <br><br>Jasper smirked, shook his head a bit, and glanced out around the strip club. It may have been a stereotypically seedy place to operate out of, but it worked fairly well; even better, being one of the more high-end ones in the city, it gave him access to some of the most powerful men in the city. His boss was a colossal asshole, but that was the reason he'd ended up following the man around in the first place; there was something so languidly decadent about the other man that he hadn't been able to resist the temptation to follow him into sin. He glanced up at his boss strode in, shedding his coat onto one of the chairs for the girls to pick up. He sat at the bar, flicking a cigarette towards Jasper. <br><br>He took it gratefully, inhaling a heavy lungful, letting it trickle from between his lips. The girls weren't in here yet, so it was just Jasper and Salem. Salem eyed Jasper, eyes flickering with something dark, something utterly inhuman, for just a second. "Time for a quick one?" he asked, dangling a packet of white powder from between his fingers.<br><br>Jasper shook his head, shrugging into a jacket, twitching his hips a bit so that Salem could enjoy the view. He knew Salem liked his looks - the grey-violet eyes, the thick, dark hair, the sweetness that still lingered around his frame. Salem had lost all of that a long time ago, and merely looked predatory. <br><br>"By the way," Salem said, as Jasper paused at the door to the club, eyebrow raised, "That guy. Saunders. He hung himself."<br><br>Jasper raised a brow, then chuckled softly, shrugging, "How come? He seemed pretty well put together when he had that red-head in his lap." <br><br>"Apparently not," Salem grinned, showing blindingly white teeth, "Blew all his money on heroin. Now where would he have gotten that? Last I heard, you were hinting to him that it would fix everything for him." <br><br>Jasper shrugged and headed out of the building, "Not my fault he listened to me," he murmured, the door shutting behind him.<br><br>Time to go find someone new. He felt the smoke licking the inside of his lungs, power curling at just the tips of his fingers, glancing around. That man, wondering if he should cheat on his wife? No. Not good enough; not sinful enough. What about that young woman? With almost no money in her pocket, staring anxiously up at one of the seedier strip clubs. She was a natural target, and he winked, slipped her a card of his, mentioning that he worked at a club down the street and could get her an audition. She ducked her head shyly, flushing - yes, she'd do. <br><br>God, what would his friend think of him? He turned his eyes to the ground shamefully, for just a moment, before heading into the dark park. Hardly safe at night, but no one would touch him. He wondered if his friend had any idea of what he was; if he even remembered him. He hoped so, but doubted it. Sitting on the edge of a dry fountain, he stubbed out his cigarette, scrubbing at his eyes in exhaustion. This was certainly an exhausting lifestyle, sinful as it was. Worth it for the tingle of flesh on flesh, though. That was what he told himself when he came out here to have a moment alone, to think of his friend, to think of what his life had once been when he hadn't chosen sin.

				<br>As an Angel, not every fight was chosen, and not every fight was won. Sometimes, Emery wondered if there were moments where they were meant to lose. If it was apart of some huge cosmic plan to put everything into place for the next battle so that it might be one. Looking down at the gunk of the body before him, Emery shook out his blade and the golden glow vaporized the sin and decay that had gotten onto the metal surface. <br><br>Having just put a demon away, he felt accomplished for the day, it was now close to evening and the sun was sinking in the part of the world Emery was currently stationed in. His opponent had been latching onto children, it had caused the death of a few families and had landed children in mental hospitals. It was destructive and disgusting, and it could have been dealt with earlier but the call had just come. Emery had phased to the spot as fast as he could but the damage had already been done in a few countries.<br><br>Sighing, his bright blue eyes scanned the area as if he could find something else to send to hell for a period of time, but no luck. His white robes were cleaned with a wave of his hand and his long blonde hair was put back into its braid so that it could hang down his back and not bother him. Bored now that the thread had been eradicated, his mind wandered.<br><br>Jasper had been gone now for a good two months. Since then, Emery had been swamped in his own duties. Apparently others noticed the effect it had on him and wanted to distract him. His usual sunny disposition was a bit clouded without his best friend and it was hard to fathom that the one angel he could tell anything to had fallen to earth with all of his thoughts, all of his secret questions. He had been told not to look for him, but Emery still knew where Jasper lived. He knew the places he frequented and what...friends he had made.<br><br>Sliding his blade back into the sheath, Emery thought about Jasper and quickly thought about where he could be. Ah. Yes. Outside of that den of fornication and addiction. Of course. Glancing back over the child that had just been saved, Emery knew that it was not enough. While the demon was gone, the seven year old was still covered in blood and confused, crying out to someone to help.<br><br>Emery had been too late. For too many things.<br><br>Within seconds, he disappeared, his wings fluttered from the quick transport but then they folded back against his spine as if to make him seem smaller. He was tall, muscular, built and capable, he was a warrior of heaven. Emery had once stood a bit taller but he preferred to keep himself small now. Especially as he stood by an old fountain and looked at what his once glorious friend had now become.<br><br>They told him to stay away for a while.<br><br>Emery felt like he had maintained his distance long enough.<br><br>"Jasper," He spoke, "Is it truly you?"

				He was twirling a bit of thread between his fingers as the other man approached, not noticing at first. He sighed, thinking of what his life had once been, wondering if he'd been right in making the choices he had. Better than having dragged Emery down with him, he guess. He shrugged a bit, and looked up, shoulders tensing when he heard the other man's voice. <br><br>"…Emery?"<br><br>His voice came out quietly, uncertainly. Not exactly how he'd wanted to sound. He stood up, straightening, wanting to impress Emery despite himself. He knew that he still looked good, still trim, his eyes still ethereal but tinged with a touch of sin that had never been there when he'd been attached to the other man. <br><br>"Yes," he said quietly, offering a faint half smile that made him look just as uncertain as he felt. "I could ask the same thing of you. It's really you?" He paused, sticking his hands in his pockets, coming forwards with a gliding walk that his pants only accentuated. His eyes had faint purple shadows under them, showing that he wasn't rested and light as he once had been, but he otherwise appeared happy. <br><br>"It's been so long. How have you - well, what are you doing down here? Shouldn't you be out saving someone from the forces of darkness?" He asked it teasingly, voice tilting upwards in a faint, open question. <br><br>He looked Emery up and down and let out a soft chuckle, "You still look like an avenging angel. It suits you." <br><br>He realized that he hardly looked like an angel himself, with the dark jacket and the tight jeans, clothes meant to show off his form rather than cloak it decently.

				<br>Ah. So it was him. Something like relief and dread went through him all at once. He was happy to see his friend again but he wasn't happy to know that this is what his Jasper had been reduced to. He looked a tad sick, and maybe in regards to the state of humans, he was better than fine, he was probably extremely well off and maybe even happy but he was sick with sin and it made Emery's throat tighten a bit. <br><br>When Jasper stood, he took a deep breath and he smiled, Emery smiled because while this was reality, this was still his dearest friend. And he was happy to see him. "Aye, Jasper. It is..." When Jasper got closer Emery stood his ground and raised a hand to cloak Jasper as well just to make sure that no one saw him talking to thin air. <br><br>"I already did that today," He replied, smiling. "I figured it was time I come and see you. I apologize for my timing. I was not allowed to see you right away. They wanted me to take time and consequently that was when they assigned me several new missions all at once."<br><br>Looking down at himself, he hummed, "Yes I suppose that is what I am after all..." Glancing up beneath his lashes, he replied, "And you. You are...you look well, Jasper. I admit. I worried I would find you in a gutter somewhere, broken and...not at all yourself. But you seem well." Getting closer, his wings ruffled behind him, "Are you well? I certainly hope so."

				Jasper moved into the protective circle, the faint buzz of the angel's magic hissing over his skin like electricity; not uncomfortable but foreign enough to him that it made him shiver for a moment. Still, he smiled, moving almost close enough to touch. Almost, but not quite. His eyes flicked down, back up, then finally came to settle on Emery's long wings. His own weren't visible; he kept them cloaked at all times, still wanting to preserve them as best he could. Also to hide from himself the rot that had set in, tinging his once glorious wings a greyish color, the blackness creeping over them from the bottom up. <br><br>"Don't apologize. It's just…it's good to see you, even if it has been a while. I figured they wouldn't want you seeing me after I fell." He shoved some hair out of his eyes, revealing faint abrasions on his wrists where he'd recently been tied, letting his hand fall when he noticed it. It had been entirely consensual, but he wasn't certain he wanted Emery knowing what he now preferred to do once the sun went down.<br><br>He shrugged and laughed softly, a purring trill of sound, when the other man said he feared he'd find him broken in a gutter.<br><br>"No, no gutters for me. I've adapted quite well, actually. It surprised even me." He raised his hands as if to touch Emery's wings, drew them back as if he'd been burned, a rueful smile toying on the edges of his lips. "Plus, the only people who end up in the gutters are the insane or those addicted to dirty drugs. Only the pure stuff for me. Highest quality." It was supposed to be a joke, but he realized too late that it would probably fall flat on Emery. He sighed, shrugged, "It's taken some getting used to, but…sin is far easier to fall into than holiness. Doesn't feel half bad, either." <br><br>He idly thought of Salem, of the man's seemingly pleasant exterior, of the terrifying sadism beneath it. Better not to think about those sorts of things in front of Emery; the one thing that Jasper wanted was to keep the other man pure of all of that. <br><br>"Hate to admit it, but…I've missed you. Feels like my other half is off floating somewhere else. 'Course, you're out killing the minions of the people I work with…" he couldn't help himself, he had to remind the other man that he was on the other side. He tensed, shrugging, another faintly nervous laugh escaping him. "It's still great to see you." The last words were added softly, uncertainly, but he cheered himself forcibly. "Anyways, you're looking great. Glowing with health, all beribboned and glowing like the angel you are. I suppose I look a bit different, but…don't worry about me. I feel just fine." <br><br>It was true, too; for all that he missed the purity of the angelic, he felt right at home in the mires of sin.

				<br>It felt right, even with sin flavoring the air between them, it was right to have Jasper back in his circle, to have him close enough to touch and to speak to in soft tones. He could remember their times on mountains, skyscrapers, tall trees, where the two of them would just talk and whisper, where they would sit and stand, side by side, wings fluttering together and hands at times joined as they took in the life below them. Emery wondered just how dramatically his life would truly change without Jasper now. He had been taking months to fight and lose himself in the war against evil, giving himself time to properly vent his frustration and anger for the initial betrayal he had felt. Now he felt a bit...out of sorts. This was not right, he was to go forth and take Jasper's hand and speak all about Heaven and missions. Now, he could not do that. He would be fraternizing with the enemy.<br><br>Yet it still felt...right, to have him so close.<br><br>Clear blue eyes took Jasper in from the mop of his hair to the color of his skin, his stare lingered for a moment on the marks, he had never seen blemishes on Jasper before. It was strange. Emery was not very keen on it either. Narrowing his gaze a tad as Jasper went on about how well he was doing on earth and how he seemed to fit right in, Emery hummed, unsure of what to say. The joke was not processed and he did not care to understand it either. What he wanted to understand was Jasper but that wasn't going very well. <br><br>Looking down, Emery's strong jaw flexed as emotion went through him, quick and fleeting, for an angel had to be control of their own feelings. Running his fingers back he slid his long braid over his left shoulder and fiddled with the ending strands that were long and wispy, they reached his knees and he would slowly twirl it around one of his fingers. Then he glanced up, fixing Jasper with a cool stare.<br><br>"I came here in hopes of speaking with you like we once did...I came here seeking my other half, my truest friend," He let go and his hair unfurled and fell straight once again. Lowering his hand, he clenched his fingers, "I do not know how to process this, Jasper. I knew you spoke of times where you were unsure of your existence. Where you doubted our superiors and made comments that could be counted as rebellious but I did not think...I did not know...how come?" He took a step closer and one of the lower feathers bobbed forward to graze Jasper's ankles. "How is it I missed such a crucial detail that you would fall?" <br><br>Sadness colored his bright blue eyes and made them deep and sapphire, "Perhaps I dismissed it, counted it as folly, but I was so certain...why did you never tell me," Emery took a step back, frowning. "Had you lost your faith in me as a friend? Had I done something wrong against you?"

				Jasper watched Emery's reaction to his words, saw the other man's jaw flexing, his hands moving to fiddle with that long braid. Jasper's own hair was cut shorter, now - what had once been huge, glorious waves had been pushed into a ponytail that brushed just along his shoulder blades. He found himself unusually uncertain what to say, what words to use. That was when Emery said that he'd come seeking his other half, and his heart did this strange little flip-flop that made it feel as if it was dropping into the acid of his stomach. He didn't know what words to say; it was as if seeing the angel right before him reminded him of what he had once been, and despite his overall happiness, he found himself missing it. <br><br>"…I've missed my truest friend, as well. I have…I have many friends, now, but…" he turned, staring at the faint fuzz of trees, dark along the horizon, "None of them meant quite so much to me as you do." He gave a faintly bitter smile when the other man asked about the comments they had made, how he had never known…known about what was to come. <br><br>He turned away uncomfortably when the other man ask if he'd missed something crucial, if he had lost faith in Emery as a friend.<br><br>"Emery…" he murmured softy, flicking his eyes upwards to meet his, stepping close enough that they were almost touching - almost, but not quite. "You…didn't miss anything that I didn't want you to miss. I just…" he turned, walking a few steps, raising his arms in a shrug and casting his eyes upwards to the sky and then giving a faint, almost acidic laugh. "Your friendship was the only reason I stayed as long as I did. I just…I got curious, Emery. About humans. About sin. If it was really so bad as what they made it out to be." <br><br>He turned, shrugging, "And you know what? It's not." Now he was looking back at Emery again, "I wondered why we had to follow all those rules, to be locked into the trappings of virtue. And the judgement…there was so much judgement. Now, even if sin is…is not so great, at all times…at least I can make my own choices. Plus, I figured that sin wouldn't sit all that well on you. Why tell you my thoughts, when it put you at risk? Especially because I knew you'd never make the choices I'd made, myself."<br><br>He forced a faint laugh, "It feels good, though, to see you again, at the very least. I hope you're not too upset by how you find me?"

				Those were sweet words. Genuine even when sin trailed after it and soured the scent. Emery had never truly experienced loss before. Some angels had before, those with friends that had fallen, and those that had fell themselves in the cycle of living and witnessing human life day to day. Emery wondered if any of the angels would remain at the end of days or if they would all fall when sin reared its ugly head and the call of the earth beckoned to them. Following Jasper's gaze, he narrowed his eyes at the trees and wondered if these friends lived in the dark of the forest. He wondered what they were like and if they would ever be as loyal as him.<br><br>Emery highly doubted that they would be. No one could be as loyal as he was. No one would dare even try.<br><br>Those statements wrecked havoc on Emery's mind. Thinking of this world being appealing didn't make sense. From the sin to the sickness it could never be as good as heaven. And it never should be. So why did it appeal to Jasper? What hold did it have on him? "We were judged because we are great," Emery replied. "We are meant to be above the others until their day of reckoning. We are their protectors and we are meant to be strong. If we did not have our rules we would not be angels. We would be shining ornaments beyond the sky that is all and you know that." Sometimes it was better to lie back on logic when emotion was misleading. "I can make my own choices. I chose to come and see you on my own accord." Sighing, he stared back at Jasper.<br><br>Finally, he went forward, reaching out, his hand slid up over Jasper's shoulder where he gripped him firmly. He did not feel as warm as before, or as solid, but he was there and that was enough. "I am upset," He admitted, "But only because sitting and speaking with you as we did before will not be as possible. The best parts of my existence was when I could sit and speak with my friend. I suppose we will both need to learn how to adjust according to your choices." Hand sliding down over Jasper's arm, he squeezed once and then let go. <br><br>"And I am upset because you could not depend on me, even when your thoughts led you astray. I would have listened, even if I had nothing to say." At least then it would not have come off as such a shock. Stepping away, he asked, "Are you well at least? Physically and mentally? Are you in need of anything? Please let me know if that is the case."

				"That's why I left," he murmured softly. "Having to be great all the time. You'd be amazed at how much fun life can be once you're not living under that pressure." He glanced back up at Emery and leant into the hand gripping his shoulder, shutting his eyes and just enjoying the solidity of the other man's touch. He turned his pale eyes back to the other man and eyed him, letting his gaze take in every inch of Emery. There was a warmth, a holiness, exuded by he other man. <br><br>He felt colder when Emery let go, and moved a bit closer, almost touching the other man. It helped soften the blow of no longer having that warmth on him. People always thought of Hell as warm, but the demons he'd met exuded a coldness and emptiness that angels would never have. Angels were soft, warm. Terrifying, yes, but still warm.<br><br>"It's not that I couldn't depend on you…"<br><br>He shrugged, shaking his dark hair out of his eyes, "I knew you would listen to me. That was the problem; angels aren't supposed to have thoughts like that. You know that. It's…I didn't want to be inducing those sorts of thoughts in you." He tightened his jacket a bit around him and stared at Emery's robes. He remembered when he'd had robes like that, himself. <br><br>"Thank you, though." He stepped back, as well, not wanting to seem too eager, though he was. "I'm quite well, physically. Mentally as well. If I need anything, you'll be the first to know, and…and the same goes for you, yeah? Just let me know if there's anything I can do for you. Though I guess you're probably busy with all those souls that need saving. Fighting demons and the like. You…are you looking for any particular demons around here?" He knew most of them, though he couldn't help Emery find them. That would only get him hurt, and not in the ways that he liked.

				<br>Emery had to fight not to argue. It didn't do him any good to go off on a tangent of why Jasper was not better off in this life. It wasn't like he could do anything about it. Sin had already become infused in his friend. He was no longer capable of being pure, of being an angel. He had fallen and that was that. Still, if there was a chance...Emery would fight and give everything he had to make sure his very best friend was whole again and well. "I suppose you may be right. I just wish we could have found a way to make you feel capable of living beneath that pressure."<br><br>"Jasper," Emery sighed his name and looked away, "No matter what you may have thought, I would have preferred to hear you speak to me candidly. You know I never cared for secrets or unspoken fears. I always wished it that you would tell me exactly what was on your mind. However, perhaps I expected too much...perhaps I wanted too much. You were kind and thoughtful in your censorship. Still I...can't help but think..."<br><br>Shaking his head so the thoughts would fly away, he bit his lower lip. "No. I was only looking for you. Though from where I stand I can sense many demons nearby that I could smite. However, that is not my duty. I already cut down the last of the kind I had to kill today. Many children will be saved from slaughtering their families."<br><br>Suddenly he said, "Jasper I only request that you do not find some demon," He spat the term, "To be above me as your friend...I know I have been away for some time but I still consider you my truest confidant. If you cannot do the same, then let me know for I do not wish to be a fool vying for the time of someone who is longer mine."

				He smiled and shrugged as the other man said that he wished he'd foun a way to help him live under the pressure he had been under. As sweet as it was, Emery had little concept of how fast you fell once you started exposing yourself to sin. Everything would just roll out of control, faster than one could account for. First it was curiosity, then it was lies, and then the necessity to be around sin ruined everything and dragged an unsuspecting angel down. <br><br>Not that he minded, so much, but still. It was impossible to explain such things to Emery.<br><br>"I know," he murmured quietly, "I shouldn't have kept things from you, but at the same time…we're together now, at least. We can see each other. No point in making things harder than they need to be." <br><br>Jasper felt a twinge of guilt, but it was only momentary, shaking it away. He had been right not to tell the other man any more than he had. Better not to drag down the two of them. Instead, he focused on what the other man was saying, shaking his head and coming forwards, at first slowly, and then more confidently, to embrace the other man. "Of course not," he murmured, giving him a squeeze and stepping back. "You'll always be my closest, dearest friend. The demons I associate with…well, it's different. They're not you, and they could never fill the place that you have. I would never make you a fool in that sense, Emery." <br><br>He neglected to add the fact that while Emery had always been a dear friend, something had changed…he had discovered that there was a difference between friends, and lovers. Quite a few of the demons fell into the latter category…and there was something both horrifying and sinfully delicious about indulging in carnal lusts with a demon. He tried to keep any such thoughts from showing on his face, though, terrified that Emery might realize and then hate him.

				<br>Emery supposed that these answered would have to do. Despite his concerns and his wondering about where they would all end up in time, he knew that Jasper had made his decision. It would be wrong and self-righteous to continuously bring it up in hopes of converting Jasper back onto his side when it was obvious that it might not ever happen. Still, hope burned in the pit of his stomach and he just took a moment to smile and appreciate the fact that he still had a friend in Jasper, even when things were terribly different.<br><br>"Of course, I know. And I thank you for that Jasper. Speaking with Kian and Alam is not the same without you. But I suppose I will not need to be substituting them for your place. It would be wrong to all of us." With a gentle smile, he walked forward a bit and reached out to touch Jasper's forearm. "I ask you to be safe here. And I ask that if you need anything, let me know...please."<br><br>&nbsp;Emery took a deep breath and glanced up at the sky. "I am needed. Another mission awaits but I promise you this Jasper, I will not let time stretch for so long without seeing you again. You bring a warmth to my existence that I desperately desire." Palm sliding up to his shoulder, he leaned in and kissed the middle of Jasper's forehead like he had many times in the past and then leaned away to peer at him with those bright blue eyes. "Until next time..."<br><br>When he vanished, it was a moment of transition accompanied with the sound of wings flapping before he appeared back in his true home. Wings spread a bit and brows raised, he looked to his Commander. "What is next for me?"<br>"There's an old building, infested with demons that latches onto the humans that pass by. Your job is to destroy that place from the inside."<br><br>With a deep inhale, Emery nodded, "This will be the first of many."<br>"Of course. Good luck."
