Flynn's POV (From now on I'm gonna write everything in POV's)

I took out an apple from my satchel that I always had. I was about to take a bite when Rapunzel came in. She sat down in front of me, her eyes staring intensely at me. I took a bite and looked back at her, soon it turned into a staring contest (I still don't know if anything physical from now existed back then, so… Yeah). "What do you want, Blondie?" I asked, breaking eye contact and taking another bite from my apple.

"Just making sure you haven't snuck out and disappeared" said Blondie. "Why would I?" I asked, cradling the half eaten apple in my hands. "Cause you're a thief as my father said" said Blondie, eyeing me in a weird way. "Being a thief doesn't mean I'll run off just like that" I retorted, leaning back on to the chair that I was sitting on. "And why is that?" asked Blondie, I had to admit, I didn't know how to answer her. "I don't break a promise" I lied, taking a bite from my apple aggressively. "You didn't make a promise" said Rapunzel, I mentally cursed.

I stayed silent, taking one last bite from my apple before throwing it away. "Hey!" shouted Blondie. "What?" I asked, chewing my apple. "This is a royal castle. You don't throw food around like that!" shouted Goldie, making me wince at the volume of her sound. "I'm sorry! I don't live in these kinds of places, I'm a thief. I live where ever I go" I said, standing up.

Rapunzel's POV

I swear I wanted to whack him with my frying pan, He's getting on my nerves but somehow, I can't get enough of his playfulness (call it whatever you want, I'm sticking with playfulness). "Fine, just don't do that anymore" I said, crossing my arms. "Whatever, Blondie" he said, I tried hard to stop a smile forming. We stayed silent for awhile until my father came in. "Rapunzel…" my father called, I looked up at him and asked: "Yes?", still sitting down.

"Your mother and I are going for another business trip. We will be gone for two weeks" he declared, making me nod. "…And we leave tomorrow" he finished, making me nod again. "I trust her to you, Flynn Rider" he said, eyeing Flynn dangerously. "I'll care for her…" he said, mumbling something after. "Good, now we will leave early in the morning so we might not be in the castle in the morning" he said, hold both my arms with his hands. "Ok, have a safe trip. See you in two weeks" I said, prying off his hold and hugging him.

I slowly released him from my embrace and let him walk away. "Under my care again, I see?" said Flynn, making me turn around. "Listen, Rider. I can take care of myself" I said, pointing a finger at him. "Then what's the use of hiring a personal bodyguard?" he questioned, leaning into his chair. I sighed. I could feel my face growing a little bit hot. "Uhh, Blondie… Why is your face red?" asked Flynn, raising an eyebrow at me. My hands flew up to my face to feel it was very hot. "Nothing, now if you excuse me…" I said slowly, before walking out the door.

I leaned against the closed door. I touched my cheek again and wondered what I just did. My train of thought was soon broken by a hand touching my shoulder. I turned around fast, my hair whacking whoever it was. Then I realized it was Flynn. "Oh! I'm so sorry" I knelt down and looked at him. He was cradling his face. "I'm okay" He said, slowly standing up.

Flynn's POV

I swear I heard a crack when Rapunzel's hair hit me. I shrugged it off and just cradled my face. "Oh! I'm so sorry" I heard Rapunzel say. "I'm okay" I said, standing up. "Are you sure?" she asked. "Yeah, I'm sure" I said, letting go of my face. I blink repeatedly, trying to clear my vision. Everything soon became clear for me… but a bit too clear. I looked at Rapunzel and my eyesight suddenly picked up each and every detail off her face. Her emerald green eyes, her soft, pale skin and especially her thin, soft lips, my heart suddenly skipped a beat.

I shook my head and my vision became normal. "Uhh… Flynn?" Rapunzel said making me focus my vision on her and asked: "Yeah?" looking into her eyes. "What are you doing?" she asked, confusing me. I took me a few seconds to realize I was touching her lips. I instantly pulled away my hands, my face turning hot.

"I'm sorry" I said, after awhile, avoiding eye contact with her. She didn't reply so we stood there silently. "Anyway, I decided to go to the market again" she finally said. "When?" I asked, looking up at her. "Now" she replied, dragging me with her.

Heyyyy… Sorry for the late update. Hadn't had time to write, I was gone for a vacation in Singapore. Anyway, Chapter 8 is finally done. R&R&Bye.
