Oh Eugene today was perfect!"

A sleepy, but very happy girl cuddled up next to him in the carriage. Smiling he tucked her in as she fell asleep.

Today had definitly been a long day. The highlight of the day to him...No classes, that thought made the day seem a little brighter for him. He still was'nt used to playing the part of royalty. Rapunzel however had jumped right into the role, he worried that someday he would embarass her beyong fixing, but as long as she was willing to drag him along , he was happy to continue following her to the ends of the earth if she asked. There were still times when he felt trapped and would wonder if all this was worth it, but at those moments Rapunzel always came rushing up with one question or another. One look in her eyes and he knew he could never leave.

When they arrived at home Eugene carried Rapunzel to her room and tucked her into bed. Kissing her forhead he turned to leave. A slight sound outside her window cause him to turn around, as he did he saw a shape dart from her window. Quickly without waking her he moved to the window. Looking out he saw blackness.

"hmmm...maybe im getting to paranoid..." He muttered quietly out loud he knew he was being overly cautious. There proabably wasnt anyone out there , but once word got out that rapunzel had healing powers , he knew there would be many kidnapping attempts and he'd be hanged if any went through. Sighing he decided to just stay in her room for a little bit to calm himself down. He'd never be able to sleep if he thought someone was trying to steal his girl. As he sat guard he bagan to doze off, little by little untill he awoke up with a start.

He had the feeling someone was watching him. slowly opening his eyes he saw two green orbs staring at him.
"whaaa..."

He started up automatically , causing her to fall backwards onto the floor.
"Sorry blondie... you know... its not polite to stare at someone who's sleeping...especially not two inches from his face...unless you had a reason?.."

He suggested in a teasing tone. Repunzel just stared at him from the floor where she sat.

"Hey.." he gently helped her up and onto the bed, "whats wrong love? i was just teasing "

She just looked at him for a little longer

"you slept in my room... Why?"

Her eyes bored into his, he knew what she wanted to know...was someone threatening her.

" No reason ..Can a man not sleep in a room with a beautifull women and not have an ulterior motive? "

She didnt look convinced but let it drop. Instead she leaned up close to him, and looked him deep in the eyes

"Do you really think im beautifull?" she demured... he answerd without a hesitation

" Gorgeous! Love your the most beautifull women alive." Sighing she leaned into him and just cuddled. He really hated these bouts of insicurity she went through. He knew Mother Gothel had messed with her head, but he still hated her to doubt herself. She was the most amazing girl yet she couldnt see it herself. Allwell he'd have a lifetime to prove it to her, and he would.
