Flynn walks away from the cafe feeling very satisfied with himself. In a few hours Rapunzel will be off work and then she'll call and Rapunzel with swoon over him and then they'll meet up someplace. The difference between this meeting up and the kind of meeting up he normally did with girls is that this wasn't going to end in one of their beds, he was sure of this. He knows Rapunzel is not the type to put out on a first date, if this would even be called a date, but he was okay with that. Sure, if she wants sex then he wouldn't turn her down though. What he really wants is to get inside that pretty head of her's, get to know her. To him she seems like a puzzle. He doesn't totally know who she is yet but he can't wait to put together the pieces and find out.
Upon arrival at his tiny apartment Flynn kicks off his boots and puts his feet up on his wobbly coffee table, clicking the television on to watch the news. He doesn't particularily like watching the news, but it was something to occupy him and it was either that or a Snuggie infomercial. Perhaps he should have chosen the infomercial because the news puts him to sleep. A few hours he awakes, not remembering how he even fell asleep. Immediately he grabs his phone off the coffee table. No missed calls or messages. Surely Rapunnzel is off work by now. The time ticks by and his phone does not make a sound. Perhaps he wrote downs the wrong number, perhaps Rapunzel can't read his scribbled writing. Whatever the reason Rapunzel doesn't call him that night. However, the next morning his peaceful sleep is is cut short due to the ringing of his phone. Still half asleep he grabs his phone and groans a simple tired "hello"
"Oh, hey Flynn. It's Rapunzel. Did I wake you? I'm so sorry" She says quickly.
"Oh hey Rapunzel. No, no it's fine" Flynn sits right up in bed, suddenly fully awake.
"Okay, good" Rapunzel giggles, "So, how are you today?"
"Well, I'm not much of anything right now as I literally just woke up" Flynn chuckles, "But, I must say that I am having a great start to my day. How are you?"
"I am magnificent! I got my assignent back, the sketch I did of you and I got an A on it!" Rapunzel squeals happily.
"I knew it! what did I tell you?" Flynn says excitedly.
"Thank you" Rapunzel starts to blush. She's happy that this is a phone conversation so her reddening face cannot be seen.
"So what are you going to do with the picture now? I bet you'll hang it up in your room so you can gaze at it. More specifically, I bet you'll put it on the ceiling so you can lay in bed and see it" Flynn laughs, a smirk creeping onto his face.
"no, no i would not!" Rapunzel says firmly, despite her blush that is worsening, "I will not post pictures of naked men on my walls!"
"calm down. I was joking. I know you aren't that type" Flynn laughs
"Oh sorry then" Rapunzel says shyly, "Umm can I ask you something?"
"well you just did ask me something, feel free to ask me something else too though"
"umm okay then, why did do you leave me your number?" Rapunzel says quietly, nervous for the response.
"I wanted you to call me"
"well I had gathered that much, but why?" Rapunzel says, almost whining
"I wanted to talk to you, I like talking to you and I thought maybe we could hang out sometime" Flynn nervously rubs his neck. Why was he nervous? He was Flynn Rider, women didn't say no to him. He had this in the bag.
"Oh, I'd love to hangout sometime" Rapunzel says eagerly, "I was worried because Pascal and Dana told me that you probably liked me, like really liked me and thought I was a hottie. Im glad that's not the case"
"Why would that be the case? What are those two thinking?" Flynn laughs nervously. The truth is Pascal and Dana are right. As much as he doesnt want to admit it, he has a crush on Rapunzel. Flynn Rider has a crush, this is almost unheard of.
"I know right? I mean a relationship between us would never work. You're older than me by, well I don't know exactly how much, but at least a few years" Rapunzel laughs
"Ya, it would never work. We'll just be friends"
"And not the type with benefits either" Rapunzel says with the confidence.
"Right" He draws out the word in disappointment, though he hopes Rapunzel can't notice the disappointment. Ideally, he wanted a friends with benefits situation. That way he could get his fix of talking to her and getting to know her and just being around her, but got the sex and the freedom of being single too.
"Great! Anyway, art history class requires my attendance in 15 minutes so I have to get going. It was great talking to you and I can't wait to hangout." Rapunzel says happily with a little giggle at the end.
"it was great talking to you too blondie. You free tommorow? for our hangout?" Flynn asks.
"Well, I work in the morning but only til 2. We can hang out after that" Rapunzel suggests
"Sounds perfect. I'll meet you there after work. Bye Blondie"
"Bye Flynn" Rapunzel replies shyly
As Flynn hangs up the phone he sighs. The conversation didn't go exactly as planned but that doesn't mean that he won't get what he wants in some way. Rapunzel was going to be a challenge and Flynn Rider never backed down from a challenge.
Author's Note: For those wondering, yes Dana is an OC. I needed someone as a room mate for Rapunzel so I had to make up a character.
Sorry this chapter probably sucks and took so long but school had been keeping me busy
