I don't own Tangled.
I'll make the next chapter in Rapunzel's POV.
"Go away, Flynn!" Rapunzel cried from her small closet. She'd been in there for about twenty minutes now, and I was growing anxious.
"Rapunzel, I'm sorry! Please just come out so we can talk."
My plea was met by her agonizing silence.
"Rapunzel?" I called again.
"I said go away!" even though I knew she tried to hide them, I could hear her pitiful sobs.
"Just unlock the door so we can talk, please." I was practically begging her not to cry anymore, shaking the knob to try to loosen it.
"I don't want to talk to you! You're an insensitive pig and I hate you!"
I could have sworn my heart was broken.
"Rapunzel…" I whispered pathetically. I shook my head and let it rest on the cold wood of the door that separated her from me.
"Would it help if I told you that I love you?"
There was another minute of wretched silence before I heard her shuffle within the closet.
"W-what?"
I knew what she wanted. If it meant I could stop her sobs, I would tell her the truth.
"It's true, Rapunzel. I love you, more than anything. I wish I would have told you sooner, but I was afraid that I'd scare you off. Please come out?"
I could feel my heart pounding out of my chest. She wasn't going to come out. I removed my hand from the cold handle, hit my head against the uncaring door and sighed.
"You… you mean it?" her words were barely audible but every word rang in my ears.
I didn't even have to think about it.
"I do. I love you with everything I have, Rapunzel."
I heard the faint click of the door unlocking and she threw the door open with such an incredible strength… all of it was directed at my face. I forgot the closet door swung out.
I doubled over holding my nose.
"Ahh! Dammit!"
Rapunzel gasped and ran to me.
"Eugene! I'm so sorry!"
Her mouth opened wide and tears came to her eyes.
"Your nose!"
I back up to lean against the wall.
"Is it bleeding?"
She nodded and ran to the bathroom, mumbling about how I was making a mess and she needed to get a towel to stop the bleeding.
When she came back her face was red and full of tear streaks.
"I'm so sorry!" she cried again, shoving the towel between my hands and bleeding nose.
"It's fine, Rapunzel," I choked, trying my best to ignore the sting.
"Let me just help you to the couch," she took my left arm and slowly sat me down on the couch that her parents gave to her as a late eighteenth birthday present.
I squeezed my eyes shut to get rid of the involuntary tears, and looked into her darkened green eyes.
"I love you, Rapunzel," I did my best to smile.
She sobbed and hugged me, whispering that she loved me too.
We spent the nest few hours on the couch as she tended my bloody nose.
As she fell asleep in my arms, I kissed the crown of her head tried to ignore my numb right arm.
"I love you, Rapunzel."
