A/N Hi everyone! I am so, so sorry for the delays of the stories, but I simply have had NO inspiration all day. I've got some Writers' Block coming on, and I may be on break for a few days. At the most, I won't be posting all weekend. Nothing big or anything to worry about, I just need a couple of days of no-writing-allowed! I'm determined to write my one-shot for the rest of the week, though. But please do know I will not be posting stories all weekend(Friday-Sunday)and will resume Monday afternoon. Thanks, guys! OH and I still love all the reviews! They still make my day and put a smile on my face ;) -Liz
"Ow. Ow. OWW!" yelps erupt from the bathroom as I walk to my chambers. I stop, leaning against the door, wondering what the noise could be. I hear a familiar voice say, "That cursed bandage needs to GO!" and a riiiippp, followed by a shrill, "OWWW!". I chuckle softly and push open the door to find Rapunzel, deeply concentrated on removing a bandage. I smile and crouch by her.
"Need some help?" I ask with a gesture to her knee. Rapunzel blows some of the hair out of her face, then pouts. "Yes…" she mumbles. I brace her knee gently and look her in the eye.
"Look, you probably already know this, but this is gonna hurt." I say slowly. Rapunzel holds her breath and nods her head. I grab the bandage strongly, and with a gentle-but-strong tug, I rip it off. The noise fills the room, and when it's off, Rapunzel screams shrilly again. I wrap my arms around her, comforting her. "Ssshhh, I know it hurts," I gently whisper, rubbing her knee in circles. She sobs heavily for a minute, then I cup her chin. Her green eyes lock onto mine. I lean forward and kiss her, and she kisses me back. It's sweet and long and calm, and it feels insanely, amazingly good. When we break apart, I smirk and say,
"Well, that was a terrible Tuesday, huh?"
