Asteraoth, unlike some angels, hadn’t been granted some wonder to watch over. Some received the gift of watching over fauna, or animals or even music. Some weren’t so lucky, similar to himself, some were tasked with watching over sin - in his case, he watched over and symbolised gluttony. A fact which was made clear by taking one look at his physique. Whilst all angels were rather plump, Asteraoth was beyond the point of being described as just plump. With a round belly that always seemed to be stuffed full, no matter the time, and pressed against the white, silk that was wrapped around him. The gold threading of his robes seemed to look like it was on the point of bursting, especially so around his middle. Atop his rather portly belly sat his much softened chest, just visible through the neckline of his clothes. His thighs were equally as pampered with fat, to support the wobbling torso he had. Even his face seemed to be covered with fat, soft chubby cheeks and a double chin that covered what little neck remained. It was safe to say it was clear what the angel represented through his appearance. That and his appetite.
Nearly all day he sat in his palace eating. All archangels like himself were gifted with the finest luxuries after all, palaces with all the jewels and gold you could think of, gardens bursting with life, and banquets of food. Asteraoth was almost never out of his chambers; sat in the corner of his room atop stacks of pillows, silks and more, with a pile of food to keep him busy. The angel was rarely ever seen not eating or full, hence his almost constant rounded belly.
And so, it was quite a shock to many and himself that the gluttonous angel had been given the role as a guardian angel. Asteraoth was hardly the man for the job, after all he was an angel of gluttony what good could he do when guiding and protecting someone. Though, he swiftly came to learn why. He’d been tasked with keeping an eye on a young baker with a certain…gift with the supernatural. A gift like this was hardly one any of the angels approved of, who knew what chaos he’d get up to. Plus, there was the benefit of him being a baker. Angels just couldn’t resist the temptations of human desserts, no matter what kind of angel you were. But it seemed that Asteraoth hadn’t considered the possibility that, that was the exact reason as to why he’d been given such a task.
Asteraoth had been sent down to the human realm less than a day later, his wings worked tirelessly to keep him in the air; a problem he’d never had until now, the gravity on Earth pulling him down slightly when he flew. Not that was an issue, human’s couldn’t see angels after all. Or so Asteraoth thought. He had really tried his first time, tried to stay on task, tried to keep a watchful eye on him. But eventually, he caved. He found himself worried more about sneaking the sweet treats the human left out, stuffing his face with whatever he could get his hands on. Each time he came down a little heavier and a lot hungrier.
Today had been no different. Asteraoth came down that morning to do his usual duties, though his belly seemed to be guiding him more than anything, the plump angel rubbing it greedily at the thought of all the sweets he’d get to try. It wasn’t a problem, he reminded himself, humans can’t see angels. Though…unknowns to Asteraoth, that idea was about to come crashing down.
