she's everything, he's just.... flynn
rapunzel grinned. corona didn't have many seasons except for spring and summer. then there was the very rare occasion of snow, but rarely was there ever fall weather. she was excited to bask in all of it. the colorful leaves, the cool crisp air, and she was sure the foods they would have would relate to the fall weather. she couldn't wait. she crawled over to eugene and curled up beside him, her head resting against his shoulder. ❝ this reminds me of when we first met, when I was just a girl in a tower. ❞ sometimes she wished she could go back to that time. but then she'd remember how lucky she was to have the life she did now. the friends she'd met and made, her parents. all of them were wonderful.
but this moment. she'd needed it. she needed to have some time with the one person she knew she could be her whole self with. and he knew that. she lift her head and looked at him, a small smile graced her lips before she leaned forward and gently met his lips with her own. a few moments later, she gently cupped his cheek and pulled away. she smiled at him and kissed his cheek. ❝ we should sleep. ❞
he remembered there one trip in the snow which made him shudder, but this would be fall. not as cold, thankfully. it would be a nice change from the current weather.
as she moves his arm does as well to wrap around her and pull her close. his cheek rests against the top of her head as he breathes in her hairs flowery scent. ❝ and I was a HANDSOME rogue and a thief, ❞ he chuckled lightly, his voice in a whisper ❝ We've come along way. ❞
brown eyes watch her movement as a small smile trickles across his lips being touched by hers. hands cupping over hers lightly before tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. ❝ goodnight sunshine. ❞ his lips press against her forehead before he lays down and moves to get comfortable.
rapunzel smiles at him as he kisses her forehead. once he was comfortable, she curled up beside him and made sure the blanket they got was draped over the both of them. she closed her eyes and soon sleep took over.
she slept through the night, awaking early in the morning. she gently kissed eugene's cheek before getting up and getting some food together to make something to eat for them before they got back on the road. they should reach the southern isles by midday.
rapunzel took fidella's reins and looked at eugene when he mentioned where they could go. he was right, they were known in arendelle thanks to queen anna and her sister elsa. she smiled at the mention of the southern isles. ❝ let's go to the southern isles! we've never been there before. ❞ she urged fidella forward and soon they were making their way out of the kingdom and towards the southern isles. rapunzel hummed with excitement the entire way. it was near dawn when they stopped for some food and to let fidella and max rest.
rapunzel helped set up a fire and she spread their blankets out so they could sit and eat what she'd packed. ❝ I hope the festival is fun, ❞ she said as she bit into some cheese. ❝ do you think they'll have dancing? ❞

rapunzel was quick, grabbing a basket, she filled it with breads, cheeses, fruits, and other snacks for their journey. she also filled a few moleskins with water and packed those as well. pascal had made it clear he wanted to come with, but rapunzel had insisted he stay behind. he wasn't happy about it, but after rapunzel promised a day with just the two of them and as many pieces of cake he wanted, he resolved to staying behind. she made it to the stables before eugene and rushed over to max and fidella. she began to tell them all about their adventure they'd take as she saddled them both up. she had finished attaching the basket of food to max's saddle when she heard eugene's voice.
she grinned and rushed over to him, helping him with the blankets and cloaks. ❝ ready as i'll ever be! ❞
he was glad she was this excited, it was a complete change from her mood earlier. he couldn't help but stand at the entrance of the stables just to watch her speak with the animals as she tells them about their plans. he loved the gleam in her eye as she spoke and the soft tint to her cheeks, a smile gracing his lips as he took in the sight.
a small chuckle is returned to her enthusiasm, as he places the blankets within the horses satchels. ❝ after you, sunshine. ❞ hands move to help her up onto fidella before he takes his spot on maximus.
❝ so, I was thinking of making the trip to either arendelle or the southern isles. I know we want to keep ourselves normal for a day and I may have heard about a string of festivals that are occurring within the two kingdoms for the next three days. ❞ festivals brought him back to their day in corona together, definitely one of the best days of his life, aside from the day he met her.
❝ people may recognize us in arendelle though, so maybe the southern isles? ❞ he may have done some digging while searching for the supplies and it seemed that his trusty co guards knew just enough information to give him some ideas. ❝ or, if you're not in the mood for a festival then we can go wherever you would like. ❞
rapunzel took fidella's reins and looked at eugene when he mentioned where they could go. he was right, they were known in arendelle thanks to queen anna and her sister elsa. she smiled at the mention of the southern isles. ❝ let's go to the southern isles! we've never been there before. ❞ she urged fidella forward and soon they were making their way out of the kingdom and towards the southern isles. rapunzel hummed with excitement the entire way. it was near dawn when they stopped for some food and to let fidella and max rest.

rapunzel halted in her rambling and grinned when eugene mentioned leaving tonight. yes. the sooner the better. she needed to get out of the palace and starting their adventure now only made her excitement grow. she nodded eagerly and rushed over to take his hands.
❝ okay, we'll leave tonight. I can grab us some food if you want to grab some blankets and cloaks for us. I can meet you in the stables with max and fidella. we'll take them with us. ❞

rapunzel didn't realize she was now awake until she heard her mother's calming voice and her forehead pressed against hers. the nightmare she had seemed so real. she could still hear mother gothel's voice screaming her name in her head.
she exhaled a few breaths and closed her eyes, inhaling and exhaling as her real mother held her. she nodded ❝ i'm okay, i'm okay. ❞
"There you are, I wondered where you snuck off to." (From Arianna)
@coronianfriends
emerald eyes gazed out at the glistening water as she gently ran her brush through her hair. rapunzel turned, seeing her mother. she took a deep breath and set her brush aside. she knew someone would come looking for her, and she was embarrassed that it was her mother who had found her.
she knew she shouldn't be, especially because it is her mother. but unfortunately...arianna was still a stranger to her at times. and this was a moment where she wasn't sure if her mother was angry with her or not. after all, she'd embarrassed her parents tonight.
the visiting duchess wasn't kind. and rapunzel had tried hard to get along with her, be kind to her. but the final straw was when she spoke poorly of eugene. it started with rapunzel raising her voice and ended with her storming out of the dining hall. rapunzel looked down
❝ I-i'm sorry, mother. i know I shouldn't have-I just...i'm sorry. ❞
a sigh is exhaled as he strides down the corridors of the castle, tired from a long day of work. there was a lot that needed his attention, but hey it beats the life he had before. there was one person he wanted attention from the most ... brown eyes search the open doors as he passes them looking for his princess.
his steps come to a stop in front of her closed door, which was unusual for her. he wondered if maybe she was in a different room or perhaps off with her parents. something inside tells him to dismiss that thought as his knuckles lightly tap against the door. he hears a faint response before sticking his head in to see her hiding in bed.
he is soft with his movements to sit on the bed next to her, fingers reaching out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. ❝ everything okay? you look lost in thought over there. ❞

fingers lace within her hair as he lightly combs through it. a small kiss is pressed against her head as he waits for her. he knows that it takes time, she's spent so many years having no one to depend on other than that vile woman and he was certain the communication was not in her favor. he is patient as he gets more comfortable against the pillows.
just as he suspected, someone did get in her head. this was a feeling he knew all too well. as a thief his reputation hadn't mattered, aside from being handsome and rich, but here in corona things were different. he truly cares what others think of him now, and he knows the feeling of shame when it turns out someone doesn't like you too well. ❝ it's important to you, I understand. sunshine, I hate to say it but not everyone will like you. it's a hard conclusion but that doesn't mean they can't think highly of you for your performance. you're still new to all of this, there are a few hiccups along the way, sure... but from what i've seen you will make an amazing queen one day. ❞
his hand moves to cup her cheek gently, placing another kiss against her forehead. ❝ hm... what would you say to a normal outing to another kingdom? as normal people, the royalty aside for one day? ❞
he was right again. not everyone would like her. and she had to accept that. she exhaled a soft sigh, her heart fluttered a bit in her chest when he said she'd make an amazing queen. she hoped he was right. and if anything, his confidence in her would push her to be the best queen she could be. for him, for her parents, for the people of corona. emerald eyes looked into his brown ones as he cupped her cheek. his idea made a smile tug at her lips. she tilted her head and found herself intrigued. she'd been to the village with eugene before many times, but there was only once where she wasn't the princess, and that was their first time on her birthday when everything changed and she had fallen in love with him. he had become her new dream. and she wanted a day like that again with him.
❝ an adventure? do you even have to ask? ❞ she gave him a teasing grin and she cupped his cheek, giggling as she held her forehead to his. ❝ thank you, eugene. ❞ flushed lips gently met his and she caressed his cheek before pulling away and hopping off of the bed. ❝ normal people, alright, so we're going to need some cloaks and oh! maybe we can come up with new names! no, no, we'll keep our names. but we won't tell anyone who we are. ❞ The more she rambled, the more excited she got, her grin only growing.

his fingers intertwine in her hair as she lays back against him and his arm wraps around her to keep her comfortable. her silence is enough to tell him that whatever was happening in that brain was spiraling. ❝ rapunzel, you can tell me anything, you know that right? ❞
fingers brush against her cheek as he watches her facial expressions, he knows something is wrong. as she speaks his face softens as he pulls her close to him to embrace her. he knows it is hard. even with being part of the guard he still notices the glares from people in the town, the smoulder doesn't fix everything as he had hoped. and though they pulled down as many wanted posters as they could find it doesn't stop the few that sneak past them, horrible nose and all.
❝ i know it's a lot. it's a complete turn around from your old life, but a good one. what happened? ❞
rapunzel held him close when he pulled her closer. she took a deep breath, inhaling his piney scent and feuding within her mind. she knew she could tell him anything. and of all people...he would understand. she wasn't blind or naive enough to not have noticed the opinions about him and his former self. flynn rider. hearing insults about herself were one thing, hearing insults about eugene...it made her blood boil and it wasn't fair that people jumped to conclusions about him. when he asked her what had happened again, she closed her eyes and wrinkled her eyebrows before resolving to tell him.
❝ sometimes I like to go out into the village and pretend to just be a normal person. I keep myself hidden and safe but this time I heard some people talking about me. all of the doubts I have in my head were voiced. and I know I shouldn't pay attention to them. I know not everyone will like me but if people in the village aren't happy with me, then what will neighboring kingdoms think? I'm supposed to be queen one day. I need to be able to impress others. ❞

it was odd for her to be in this state. she was normally bubbly, chipper, brighter than the sun. but today...today she wasn't. she remained in her room, not wanting to come out for anyone or anything. the only person she would want to see would be the same one who had knocked on her door. it was almost as if he knew she needed him by her side. when he walked in, she gave him a small, weak smile before looking back down at her lap.
❝ it's nothing. it's just...today is... ❞ she trailed off. it sounded silly, maybe a little selfish. ❝ being a princess is really hard. and I don't want to let anyone down but I...feel like I am. ❞
the small smile was enough to tell him that she was not okay. his figure sat back against the bed, leaving room for her to sit up against him. his voice is soft as he opens up his arms to her. ❝ c'mere, tell me all about it. ❞
❝ it isn't nothing ... it's bothering you. ❞ fingers lightly run through her hair as she speaks. brows furrow as he listens and he gives her shoulder a light squeeze. ❝ it's still newer to you love, no one expects you to be perfect at it except that little brain of yours. it comes with time, you're trying your best and continuing on, that's admirable of you. no matter the challenges that keep popping up you're still pushing through and trying ... ❞
she wasted no time, moving closer to him and curling up in his lap. the contact from him alone helped to soothe her. and his words only helped. he was right. it was newer to her, and those she was close with understood that. her parents, the palace staff, eugene. but still...she couldn't get that woman's words out of her head. ❝ princess indeed. she's embarrassing the kingdom. waltzing around with no shoes, wearing such simple clothing. I don't know how the king and queen allow such things. ❞ it was heard while she was exploring the village. every so often, she'd grab her cloak and walk about, pretending to not be the princess. and that's when she heard the woman say those things to a merchant. she didn't think it wise to tell eugene that though. it didn't matter anyway; the woman put a voice to words she already thought about in her head.
she took a deep breath and looked at eugene. ❝ you're right...sometimes I just wish I...I wasn't the princess. ❞
