"I hate you! Why do you have to fall in love with me? I want to go back to my mother. I'm the goddess of flowers. Do you know what that means? It means I can't stay in this drab piece of building litter with skulls that you call palace. I need sunlight and nature! And just in case you missed the point, I HATE YOU!" Persephone screamed at Hades.
"Did you just say 'I hate you' to me? No one gets away after they say 'I hate you' to me. No one! Do you hear me? NO ONE!" Hades threatened. He thought he did a pretty good job at scaring Persephone.
Persephone merely smirked. "What are going to do about it? I'll say it one more time. I hate you."
Hades was shocked. Everyone was scared of him after one of his threats. That's why his brother, Zeus, appointed him as the God of the Underworld. But Persephone wasn't scared of him. One more reason to love her. Why, his cold, steel iron heart has melted when he first saw her.
But he would not, cannot stand for this insult at his threat. "You get the skull finger!" Hades bellowed. He showed her his middle finger. It was painted with a skull. Girlish? Don't you dare say that!
Persephone stuck her tongue at Hades. "Excuse me? I get the skull finger? Well, you get both of my pomegranate fingers," she stuck out both of her middle fingers. It was painted with pomegranates.
"You dare do that?" Hades thundered. "You get the other skull finger!"
"You dare do that?" Persephone mimicked. "Yes. I dare. And your fingers aren't hurting me. I am soo out of here. You're a maniac."
"Don't you dare walk out on me, wife!" Hades ordered. Persephone cringed at the word 'wife'. "If you do, you'll meet the wrath of my cute little dog, Cerberus."
Persephone sighed. "Heavens, you're come backs are so lame." Hades gave her a puzzled look.
"Hel-lo? Your come backs are going downhill. They were fine until you went 'my cute little dog'. No one says that in an argument. Not even mortals," she shook her head.
"Well, your… your come backs are lame too!" Hades sputtered. He sounded like a spoiled brat with… well, no good comebacks.
"See? This is what I'm talking about," Persephone said. "I cannot live with a guy who is maniac and the King of the Underworld and also make lame comebacks. Besides Cerberus is fond of me. I am going to my chambers."
Persephone turned away, muttering about how she's going to have to find the book 'Witty Comebacks and How to Make Yours Better' for Hades. She stepped out of the room, leaving a depressed and confused Hades.
Hades sank into his throne. He called for his multi-headed dog, Cerberus. After a moment of waiting, he looked up to see what was taking the dog so long to come to his master. There was Cerberus, padding softly beside Persephone.
He called for Cerberus again. The dog turned to look at his master. Persephone walked ahead, before calling to Cerberus, "Here boy!"
Cerberus looked at Hades then back at Persephone, who was waiting for him, as if was to decide which of the immortals' his loyalty should lie with. The multi-headed dog decided that he decided that he have been beside Hades to last numerous lifetimes. Cerberus bounded to Persephone, who in turn petted his head and smiled smugly at Hades from down the hall before she and the dog disappeared into her chambers.
What happened to the expression 'Dogs are men's best friends'? Or in this case, 'god's best friend'. Cerberus. That traitor.
Note to self: Never believe in the expression 'dogs are men's best friends' and buy a one headed cat to annoy Cerberus. Remember. One headed only. If you buy a multi- headed cat, it may turned out as a traitor or be The Traitor (aka Cerberus)'s friend.
Really short drabble. I found it when I was going through all my docs. My friend and I wrote it a few years ago and I still have it. I don't really know if you got the whole middle finger thing. We were painting nails and she painted a skull on my middle finger and we were obsessed with Percy Jackson so we got talking about how Hades could be like 'You get the SKULL FINGER!'
So yeah. Thanks for reading and tell me what you think! And as I said, requests are welcome.
