Something strange was happening to Rapunzel.

She seemed to be oddly fascinated by Eugene's muscles. She could hardly catch him shirtless, and this disappointed her. She could hardly see his muscular definition under his vest, and his shirt was too loose to show off those toned arms. The only muscle she could really stare at was his butt, because the fabric of his pants was just tight enough to show its definition. It was perfect, the way it moved slightly when he walked, the way looking at it made her body hot. She got tingly with embarrassment when he caught her staring.

After a week or so of this staring-and-catching, Eugene decided to confront her about it. He rested his palm next to Rapunzel's head, trapping her against her bedroom wall.

"Eugene! What-"

"Blondie. Why do you keep staring at my ass?"

She swallowed hard, her cheeks bright red. She stared down at the floor, but Eugene tilted her chin up so he was looking her straight in the eyes. "Rapunzel, I've caught you looking at it multiple times. Why?"

Rapunzel averted his gaze. "B-because… I like it."

"Hm?" Eugene smirked, his face now mere inches from hers, his breath hot, tickling her cheeks. Time for a little experiment, Eugene thought to himself slyly.

He leaned forward and kissed her, hard. Rapunzel gasped and Eugene took advantage, sneaking his tongue into her mouth. Rapunzel tried to move her arms up around his neck, but he caught her hands and placed them on his butt. Rapunzel blushed hard, trying to pull away, but Eugene was not going to let her go. He bit her lower lip lightly, and then trailed his kisses down to her jaw and then her neck.

Rapunzel let out a soft moan as Eugene continued to kiss her. That proved to be too much for him, because he groaned as he realized he was getting hard. "Shit," he muttered under his breath, pulling away from Rapunzel.

"Why did you stop?"

Eugene's face was red. "I am experiencing an issue at the moment."

"An issue?"

Eugene took Rapunzel's hand in his and placed it over the crotch of his pants.

"You feel that, Blondie?"

Rapunzel blushed hard at what Eugene was doing. "Y-yeah…"

"This is what happens when men… get excited."

"Excited?"

"Sexually excited."

After Rapunzel's awkward conversation with Eugene on this subject, she had pulled out a health book from the library to try and figure things out. She knew what men's "nether regions" were called now and the functions they served, but she didn't know they got hard like this.

Eugene let go of Rapunzel's hand, and she pulled away, letting it rest at her side.

"Did I do something wrong?"

"No, you did everything right. Too right," he chuckled.

"Oh."

"Anyway, it's time for me to go to my room, I guess." Eugene placed a chaste kiss on Rapunzel's lips and walked out the door.

Having all this happening was making Rapunzel even more confused than she was before.
