Chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemum stared at Rose dead in the eyes and didn't respond.

"You're such a piece of shit!"  Rose grabbed her coat and prepared to leave.

Chrysanthemum grabbed her arm.  In this way he couldn't let her leave lest he wasn't able to be understood.

"I hate myself ok!"  Chrysanthemum began.  "It has nothing to do with you!  Honestly I've never liked anyone as much as you!"

"Oh shove it up your ass.  Like I could care at this point."  Rose pulled her arm away from Chrysanthemum.

"Rose, you're starting to piss me the hell off!"

"How can you hate yourself when I'm standing right in front of you!  I love you more than I can breathe!"

"You don't even know what it's like to be me!"  Chrysanthemum sat in front lizard bus.  "I've never had anyone be this nice to me, like ever!"

"Don't you believe me!"

"It doesn't matter!  Everybody else treats me like I don't exist..."

"You're a sick joke you know that?  I can't believe I ever even thought I had feelings for you.  You're just a loser like everyone says."

Here is Chrysanthemum ->

"Rose I'm in love with you!"  Chrysanthemum's eyes were red with fury and his claws were fully extended.

"How is that even gonna work when you can't even love yourself to give a shit about me?"

"I don't know!"  Chrysanthemum bared his teeth his fangs were a bit chipped from old age but still there.

"Look at me!"  Rose stared Chrysanthemum in the eyes though that didn't seem to cease his anger.

"What am I supposed to be looking at?"

"Something other than yourself!  So maybe when you look in the mirror you can remember that somebody anybody gave a shit about your sorry existence."

Chrysanthemum breathed heavily but slowly began to calm down.  "You know the sick part Rose?  I like you based solely on your looks."

"Fine!  I don't fucking care.  Just love yourself for once!"

"The only parts that people like about me are the parts I hate about myself!"

"Then let it be that way!"

Chrysanthemum sat in the empty hovel and hid his head in his knees.  

"I like your sense of humor..."  

"I don't have one..."

"You just have a very sick and twisted one."

"Oh..."

"And I like your quietness..."

"I'm only quiet because I'm too wrapped up in my own thoughts to say anything."

"It's really endearing"

"I'm a nihilist I thought that was endearing?"

"No its not!  It's one of the things that scared me when I met you!  I thought you were really dangerous."

"Oops sorry..."

Rose folded Chrysanthemum's arm over her own and they sat together embracing the silence.  Rose then proceeded to force her tongue down Chrysanthemum's throat.
