"A plant meets soil as two become one,
Taken from life, the flower wilts,
Fresh water is needed to revive,
A precious treasure should be guarded."

You read it out loud in between bites of yolk-coated hash browns.

"Sounds dumb." You commented as you put it back down.

"You don't care what it means? I mean this is supposed to be all month. The first week is obviously when we met. The second week, I don't quite understand but it's probably something to do with you staying with the Troupe or with me. The third line is completely lost on me unless it is literal and the fourth line could mean one of two things. First, it could mean that you have an object that might get stolen, probably by us. Or, it could mean you have a secret that you shouldn't be sharing. Either way, I'm intrigued." Chrollo spoke almost wildly as he flung his fork around that had egg and bell pepper on it.

"Damn, calm down. I just don't believe that I'm not in control of my own destiny. Where did you get this energy from?" You yawned and crammed more food in your mouth. "The more I eat the more I want to pass out."

"It's the speed kicking in. I just feel so productive! Like everything goes together! Want some? It's such an awesome feeling!" Chrollo shoved more food into his mouth as he analyzed everything in front of him.

"What the fuck is speed?" You laughed at him as you took a bite of yogurt.

"Drug name: Amphetamine. It's an upper. A go-go-go kind of thing." He pushed even more food in his mouth

"Well yeah. I got that. Try not to choke on your food." You gave him a funny smile with your brows creased together.

This guy and drugs... So much jenny that he can't count it and he's still running away from his feelings. You shook your head.

"So..." He face was suddenly right in front of yours. "Want some?"

"Ah no. I think one of us on it is enough for now. And it doesn't look like it's that fun for couples. We'd just be talking a mile a minute at each other."

"We're not a couple. Get that through your head now. I'm the boss of the deadliest gang in the world. You're a good fuck." He spoke so fast that you could barely recognize his words.

"Seriously, Chrollo, damn with you today. I just meant for two people. But yeah, sure, take me down about one hundred pegs while you're at it." You rolled your eyes, not really hurt by his words. People had said much worse things to and about you. This guy was just high as a kite, saying whatever. He'd still take you back to his place. He'd still have sex with you. He was just being a bit of a jerk about it.

"Sorry. Besides, you're right. It's not a couple's drug like ecstasy. In fact, a major side effect for it is impotence." He shrugged and went back to shoveling even more food into his body.
