Almost three years pass with me staying with hiccup. Three wonderful and romantic years. Most of which was spent eating take-out while watching movies or having sex. It was probably the best years I ever had in the longest time. After two years of dating and forgetting about Eugene hiccup asked me to marry him. Twice. I said yes and we both lived in the cabin happy as can be. I never heard of Eugene or vlad until one morning I got a phone call.
"Rapunzel?" it was hook, he sounded shaky
"Hook! How did you-"
"No time. Hurry up to the hospital, vlad just had a heart attack!"
I dropped my phone and grabbed hiccup by the arm. Hiccup was used to me pulling him around so he stayed silent and waited to follow my orders. I drove as fast as I possibly could and made it to the hospital after two hours of breaking road laws .as I walked into the hospital I explained the situation to hiccup in less than 2 minutes. I asked the nurse where vlad was and she told me I couldn't see him for another hour since the doctor was checking him. As I sat in the waiting room holding hiccup's hand and digging my head into my other hand I felt someone standing in front of me. it was hook. He looked the same but gained a lot of weight. His eyes had bags under them and he looked really pale. I stood up and gave him a huge hug, rubbing his wide back with my awkward spaghetti arms.
"How is he doing?" I said, biting a nail
"The doc said he'll be okay. He just needs to cut down on stress and fried food."
I giggled nervously as the nurse called me in. I was holding onto hiccup's hand as tight as I could as I walked down the pale white hall. When I got into the room vlad was connected to a thousand machines and had a tray of ice in front of him.
"You son of a bitch." I laughed nervously as I took a seat next to the bed, holding Vlad's huge hands.
Vlad looked at hiccup up and down and raised an eyebrow at me.
"The fuck is this? He looks like a talking fishbone."
Hiccup furrowed his brow and offered his hand to vlad
"Hi, my name is hiccup, the talking fishbone."
Vlad let out a hearty laugh then started coughing violently.
"I'm just messing with ya, kid. How are you Punzie? I missed you so much." He said as he tucked a piece of hair behind my ear
"Oh, Vlad. I missed you too." I held onto one of his huge hands and vlad looked at the diamond on the left ring finger
"So you're engaged? Again?"
"Yea. The fishbone and I are in love." I smiled at hiccup and he showed me a crooked smile
"Yeesh. Wait till Flynn hears about this."
"He won't. As soon as you get better I'm leaving. For good."
"That's the thing. I kinda need you to take care of the bar for me while I'm here."
"Why can't hook do it!" I said in a whiny tone
"You know the man can't go two seconds without being told what to do. You know the bar, Punz. Please, I need you."
I sighed and agreed. When I got out of the hospital hook handed me the keys to the bar. I stayed at Vlad's place for the time being and hiccup didn't complain once. The next morning I woke up to go back to work. I left hiccup at the hospital to bond with vlad as well as to take care of him. I opened up the door to the bar and started seeing the typical customers flow in. they all greeted me with surprise and asked me what I did these past years while I was gone. I served tables as well as drinks. Around noon time a man in a black hoodie with a small child holding his hand entered the bar. The man's face was hidden behind the shadows of his hoodie. The child holding his hand had black curly hair and hazel eyes that reminded me of Eugene I imagined what Eugene was doing now and how he was behaving. I took a deep sigh and snapped back into reality. I got to the table I brought a high chair and two menus. The man took off his hood and I saw him. It was Eugene. He had little streaks of gray in his hair as well as a full-grown beard. I dropped the two menus and covered my mouth.
"Oh my god." I said breathlessly
"Oh my god" he repeated, wide-eyed
"Rapunzel?" he said, getting up from the table and walking toward me with open arms
"Eugene?" I said out loud, walking further away from him
"It's been so long." He chuckled.
"Y-yea...it i-is." I stammered, still covering my mouth with my hand
"Three years have treated you good. Not for me. I'm a mess." He chuckled nervously
He cleared his throat and carried the baby closer to me. She smiled wide and showed me a half toothless smile. I smiled and looked at Eugene.
"She's beautiful."
"Say hi, rose." The small child gave a small wave and buried her head in Eugene's neck, embarrassed.
"She's so cute."
"Takes after her mom. How have you been? I see you have a ring on your finger." I sensed a bit of anger in his tone. I noticed that he never had a ring on his finger so I assumed he never married Linda
"Yes. I'm happily engaged and we're getting married in may."
"At least you finished one thing." I felt him get angrier and angrier
"Don't start."
"I'm not." He said, biting his cheek. He turned around and walked back to the table and quickly turned back around, pointing a finger at me
"THREE FUCKING YEARS I LIVED WITHOUT YOU. THREE YEARS OF WONDERING WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO MY FIANCE! AND ALL THE WHILE SHE WAS FUCKING SOMEONE ELSE. FUCKING SHIT!" he threw his arms up in the air and calmed down, rubbing his temples
"You never responded to any of my texts or my calls. Not even e-mail." He brushed his hair back and sighed
"I told you I was done with you." I said in a low voice
He walked up to me and grabbed me by the shoulder
"WE ALWAYS SAY THAT TO EACH OTHER AND NOTHING EVER HAPPENS!"
I gathered enough courage to lash back
"WELL, IT DID THIS TIME! It did, Eugene. That's it. Its been over. Get over it."
"No…it's not over. Not for me." he grabbed the collar of my blouse and lifted me up, he kissed me passionately as he held me up by my elbows. I felt streams of tears roll down my face as I wrapped my arms around his neck and jumped on top of him. I felt everything coming back to me in huge waves.
He separated us and rubbed off my tears with his thumb.
"How many times do I have to say 'I love you' until you start believing me?" he said with a smirk
"A million times." I said in hiccupping sobs as I dug my head in his neck
At that moment hiccup's name erased completely off my brain and it was just Eugene and I at that moment. Then I started to remember why I left him in the first place. I pushed myself off him and fixed my apron.
"No. this is wrong."
"No its not! We love each other! For fucks sake, can't you see I'm in love with you?"
"CAN'T YOU SEE THAT IM NOT?" I lied
Eugene jumped back and sighed
"Rapunzel…you don't know what you're doing to me. You are ripping my heart to shreds. Go on, tell me about the schmuck. Is he more romantic than me? Bigger than me? if he's bigger than me I'm going to-"
I heard the bell on the door ring and I turned to see hiccup. He saw me in front of Eugene and raised an eyebrow. He got in between Eugene and I and looked at me, point to Eugene right behind him.
"Who's the schmuck?" hiccup asked raising an eyebrow
I heard Eugene laugh and hiccup turned around
"You left ME for HIM? He looks like something I can pick my teeth with."
"Hey man at least this toothpick has been fucking your girlfriend while you've been changing diapers for 3 years." I was surprised by hiccup's valiance and everyone in the room looked at us with open mouths.
"Big talk for such a small guy." Eugene said towering over hiccup
Hiccup swallowed hard and responded
"Well judging by the screams in bed I think I might be bigger than you think." He said looking up to Flynn
"That's it, small fry." Eugene picked up hiccup in a matter of seconds and was holding him by the shirt; hiccup was kicking and clawing at Eugene's arms.
"FLYNN! NO! PUT HIM DOWN!" I said as I jumped on his back, punching his shoulders with my tiny fists. He pushed me off to the floor and pinned hiccup against the wall.
"I'm going to beat the living shit out of you." Eugene said as he reeled his arm back, his hands formed into fists
"I don't doubt it." Hiccup said, squinting his eyes and turning his head
I watched in terror as Eugene hit hiccup twice. The first time hiccup's nose was bleeding and his lip was cut. The second time he was knocked unconscious. I ran up to his body and cleaned his lip with my apron.
"y-you…you son of a bitch!" I ran up to Eugene and failed to slap him in the face
I saw hook run out of the kitchen and he grabbed me by the waist, pulling me away from Eugene. I kicked and screamed at Eugene as he picked up his daughter and left the bar, his daughter looking back in confusion.
"FUCK YOU!" I yelled as I possibly can.
I ran up to hiccup and placed a plastics bag filled with ice on his lips. I propped him up against the wall and ran my fingers through his hair until his eyes fluttered open.
"Aw crap. I'm so sorry." He said in a low voice
I looked up to hook and stood up, taking off my apron.
"Here you go, hook. I can't stay here anymore. Im leaving. now."
I picked up hiccup and fixed his leg and dragged him to the car in the parking lot. I put on my seat belt and drove to the hospital to say one last 'good bye' to vlad. I left hiccup in the car and ran to the room as fast as I can so I could get out of town as soon as possible. I burst through the hospital doors and walked to Vlad's room, dodging old people in wheel chairs as I zoomed through. I knocked on the door three times and walked in. vlad was sitting in bed talking to someone left of him. I couldn't see who he was talking to until I entered the room.
"Hey Vlad, I'm leaving. How are you-?"
As I walked in I saw Eugene sitting in a recliner with rose on his lap. I crossed my arms and looked at Eugene.
"Sorry to be intruding."
"No trouble at all." Eugene said, standing up. He walked out the door with the small child in hand.
I huffed my bangs out my eyes as I crouched next to Vlad's bed and held his hand.
"Vlad, I'm leaving."
"What? Why?"
"I can't too many..Too many…" I dug my head in my hands and sighed
"Flynn?"
I gave out a huge puff
"Yea."
"Ok, well. Good bye, I guess."
"Good bye, vlad. I'll miss you. Ill invite you to the wedding when I get a date set."
"Alright, see you soon kid." He opened up his arms and I jumped on top of him, giving him a huge bear hug. I let go and walked out of the room.
As I walked to the door I bumped into Eugene who was waiting at the door. I gave out a scoff and continued walking to the end of the hall. I heard Eugene whisper something to the little girl and I could hear her wobble into Vlad's room as Eugene caught up to me. He grabbed my left arm and twirled me over to him, knocking myself into his chest.
"." I said as I punched his arm with my free hand.
He grabbed my right hand and kissed me. The sudden kiss made my eyes pop wide open then close. We were standing in the middle of the hospital making out, people in wheel chairs gave us weird looks as they passed by and nurses gave us the stink eye.
"Stop. Stop. Please, stop." I would say. He pressed his lips harder against mine to shut me up.
I finally loosened my fists and he let go of my hands and wrapped his arms around my waist. One of his hands moved up my back and through my hair, locking his hold on my neck and pulling me closer. After what seemed like hours of breathless kissing he pushed me off of him, leaving me wanting more.
"Good bye, Rapunzel."
He turned and walked back into the hospital room. I just stayed in the middle of the hospital absolutely shocked.
"No. No. come…please, come back."
"Your fiancé is waiting in the car." He didn't even look back
"Eugene, please." There was a sense of pleading in my voice and I closed my mouth as soon as the words came out. For the first time I was the one asking him back. I was the one begging for more.
"Rapunzel don't make this harder than it already is." He turned his back and looked at me. we were about 8 feet from each other
"Don't say that. Two minutes ago you were begging me back. Don't say that, you don't mean it."
"Oh but I do. I don't love you anymore, Rapunzel. To be quite honest with you I only dealt with your bitching the last few weeks because of the great sex. Let's face it, babe, you're not meant to be in a relationship."
"Oh. I'M not made for relationships? Okay."
"It's true. You can't be serious with someone." He shrugged
I marched all the way up to him and tip toed so I can be closer to his face. We were about two inches apart.
"I loved you so much. Did you even consider that when you were fucking her? Didn't I cross your mind at least once? I can be serious, Flynn rider. I can have a mature relationship without sex. You on the other hand, cannot. I'm sorry I wasn't serious enough for you." I poked at his chest and I felt my blood curdling. I wanted to lash out and yell at him but it was just going to be a waste of time. So I left.
I marched confidently out of the hall way and closed the door behind me. I ran as fast I could to the nearest bathroom and I locked myself in a stall and cried. I felt my eyes burn after 10 minutes of nonstop water works. I was loud too. I heard a woman get inside and immediately leave telling someone who was waiting for her outside 'the poor thing.' I finally wiped off my tears and stood straight. I got a cigarette from my purse and started smoking. I saw the gray smoke seep through the gaps of the door and the floor. I felt my mind clear up immediately and I felt some-what better. I sucked in my last drag and flushed the cigarette down the toilet. As I walked out I saw Eugene leaning on the sink.
"This is the girls-oh, wait. Never mind."
"Real mature. Will you give me a chance to explain myself?"
"About what? Being in the girl's bathroom?"
"Listen, I don't have to deal with your shit right now. So shut the fuck up and listen to me for once." He walked to the bathroom door and locked it.
"Okay, shoot." I said crossing my arms
"Rapunzel. You are the worst and best thing that has ever happened to me. You constantly make my life a living hell but you make it a living hell because I literally can't live without you. A few weeks ago I started…well. I started doing drugs again. One day I snorted so much coke I passed out. My friends had to take me to the hospital and everything. a few months after you left I was so confused. I got the gun I had stashed and was really close to giving up but vlad showed up. Rapunzel I was going to kill myself. Twice, actually." He moved his face away and I saw his eyes turn red
"Do you know why I tried to kill myself? I would rather die than never see your face. Rapunzel…I would die for you. I love you so much. I'm not asking you back. I'm just asking if you can forgive me for not knowing what I need is standing in front of me. Please. Forgive me."
I slowly walked towards him and moved his head so I could see his face. I kissed him softly and wrapped my arms around him, both of his blubbering like idiots in the women's bathroom.
"I'm so sorry" I wailed
"No. I'm sorry. Forgive me. Forgive me." he sobbed
This was probably the best and weirdest moment between Eugene and i. I never saw him so chocked up before. He lifted my chin up and kissed me. I felt his tears drop on my chin as he brought me closer to him. I had my hand over his heart and another one holding onto his shoulder. He walked forwards and pinned me against the bathroom door. Breathlessly, I moved my head to get some air between sobs while he took the advantage to kissing my neck and taking off my shirt. Just as he was about to stick his hand inside my bra we heard a knock at the door. We both stared at the door, our tears drying up while we paused. The knocking stopped and in less than two seconds his hands were in my bra, cupping my breasts. I let out a huge sigh of relief just for knowing that Eugene was the one who was back in control of my body. He chuckled lightly and sniffled and with a cracked voice said
"You missed this?"
I giggled lightly and whispered in his ear
"Just take off my pants already."
I felt him smile when I kissed my lips as he slowly pulled down my pants. On his way up he kissed my knee, my thigh, and my belly button. I shivered under his touch pulled him up when he was kissing one of my breasts and I pulled him by the shirt.
"Your turn."
I took off his pants slowly and he bit my lips and wrapped his hand around the back of my neck, pulling me closer to his face. He pushed me hard against the bathroom stall and I started having trouble breathing. I opened up the door and we both spilled into the stall, on top of each other.
"This is disgusting." I said on top of him
"Hurry up. Captain scrawny would be expecting you." He gave out a sigh.
"Honey, you're hotter when you keep your mouth shut."
"So are you." He rolled his eyes
"Get on with it." I moaned as he nibbled my neck
"My pleasure."
He hoisted me up and slammed me against the bathroom stall wall. He fixed himself between my legs and took off his boxers.
"This might hurt. Three years of having to suffer horrible sex you finally get to enjoy it."
"It wasn't horrible. It was good."
"Say what you will." He whipped it out and looked at the shock on my face.
"I don't remember it being that big." I said wide-eyed
"It's stayed the same. You're probably just used to the smaller ones."
"I told you…he's not small."
"I'll be the judge of that."
He grabbed my hips and he plunged himself inside of me. I gave out a huge scream and dug my nails into his shoulder.
"It's that small?"
"Uh uh." I groaned
"Sorry about this but we're going to have to be quick." He started thrusting and I dug my nails deeper into his shoulder.
"NO! No. stop. Oh my god. Stop. No. I want to enjoy this." I groaned
"Fine." He scoffed "take your time."
I took a deep breath and pushed him deeper into me. squinting my eyes and biting my lips. I finally was comfortable and ready to continue.
"Okay. Go ahead. SLOW…please."
"Fine." He scoffed
He shifted back in forth. I felt my face turn absolutely red and I felt pain in my lower stomach. I grabbed onto his shoulders for more support as I leaned my head forward, my hair falling on my face.
"Oh my god I missed this." I moaned
"Me more than you. Trust me." he grunted
After almost an hour of nonstop thrusting, moaning, grunting and breathless kissing the whole thing ended with a bang. Literally. The last time he thrusted in me a screw that held the door broke off, making the door fly off the hinges and fall to the ground. It was good since it covered up most of our screams. He pulled up his underwear and pulled back his sweat soaked hair. I put on all my clothes and waited for Eugene to finish. He walked out to the sinks and leaned on the counter.
"Please don't let this be the end. I love you so much." He wiped his forehead
"It's not the end. Not yet."
"You're getting married to that other guy, Rapunzel. It's over. We're done."
"No. We're not. Eugene, I love you too. I want to make this work again." I reached out for his hand and he brought me closer to him. My arms wrapped around him and he kissed my forehead
"Me too. So what are you going to do?"
"I don't know what to do." I dug my head in his chest
"Break it off. If you don't love the guy then don't marry him." he started to give advice as a friend rather than a boyfriend.
I sighed deeply and imaged hiccup with a busted lip in the car.
"Listen. I'll make a decision this week. Call me?"
"I'll get your number from vlad. Let me know, okay?" he had a look of concern as if he was hesitating about letting me go
"I really want to try again with hiccup though, okay? Because at least he was there for me when no one else was and he never hurt me."
Eugene took a deep sigh and looked down "yea. Okay."
"Good bye, Eugene."
"See ya, Punz." He put his hands in his pocket.
I unlocked the bathroom door and ran to the car as fast as humanly possible. When I got in hiccup was knocked out cold.
"Babe, wake up."
"Why did it take you so long?" he slurred because of his numb lips
"Vlad wanted to tell me something before I left. I just want to go home."
"Ditto." He said, fastening his seatbelt
I drove for two hours. It was the most awkward car ride I have ever been in. we stopped for dinner at a diner and hiccup was quiet the whole time. When we got back to the cabin hiccup went straight into the kitchen and sat on the counter, looking at me.
"Come over here."
I lifted an eyebrow and he made a hand gesture to walk over there. I shut the door behind me and I hesitantly walked to the counter. He wrapped his arms around me and squeezed me.
"I love you, Rapunzel."
"Me too, hiccup." I said with no real emotion
"Now tell me what really happened in the hospital."
"What are you talking about?" I said acting innocently
"I went to go to the bathroom and when I passed by the women's I heard moans that sounded like yours."
"Shit. Hiccup, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean-"
He pushed me off of him and paced around the kitchen
"You didn't mean to what? Hurt me? I never heard that before."
"Hiccup, I'm sorry!"
"We're engaged, Rapunzel. I asked you to be happy with me and love me forever. And you said yes. Next time think before you make a decision. Someone might get hurt."
"Hiccup. I didn't know."
"BULLSHIT!" he yelled, tears falling down his cheeks
"Rapunzel… Why would you do this to me? I love you. I cared for you when no one else would. You know what? Forget it."
"Hiccup…"
"Get out of my house, please."
"No, hiccup. Please, would you just-"
"EITHER WAY I END UP GETTING HURT."
"IF YOU WOULD JUST LISTEN-"
"WHAT? What? What more do you have to say?"
"I love you, hiccup. I truly do. Im just more in love with Eugene. We've been through a lot together. He's…he's my home."
"You dragged me on." He scowled at me
"No I didn't! I told you I wasn't looking for anything serious!"
"You said yes when I asked you to marry me!"
"I-I…"
"Rapunzel…"
"I'm sorry." A tear rolled down my cheek
He sighed deeply and ran his fingers through his hair.
"You should have told me…"
"I wanted to make things work." I tried to wipe my tears
"If you don't love me there is no use in making me force you. I'll help you p-pack…your stuff…" he stammered
"Hiccup…"
"It's okay, Rapunzel." He gave me a weak smile
I walked up to him and hugged him and kissed him lightly on the lips.
"If anything happens you know where to find Me." he smirked
"I'm sorry."
"Rapunzel, you're the best thing that ever happened to me. I'm just glad I spent these years with you." His smile weakened and I saw his eyes water
"Are you going to be okay?"
"Of course I am."
I smiled and he sighed deeply. He kissed my nose and turned to the bed room.
"Let's go get your stuff ready."
