Later that day, Rapunzel finds herself in the library.

'Maybe if I study now, I can enjoy Merida's party and my birthday in the weekend,' she mutters.

'Is Merida throwing a party?' Rapunzel turns around and right behind here is Flynn rider. Apparently, he has nothing better to do with his life than following her everywhere.

Rapunzel jumps a bit back and looks at him confused 'Yeah...She is...'

'You girls are close, huh?' He asks, scratching his neck.

'She is my best friend.'

An awkward silence...But Flynn breaks it 'Well, I talked to her and I am there too! I told her I had to be there, to be with the most adorable girl ever...'

A small blush starts to form on her cheeks.

'....Anna,' he continues.

'What? You...You can't date Anna! She is all over Kristoff and for the record, I am her cousin so that makes me...'

'More suitable,' he interrupts with his smoulder. 'I meant you Punzie, but I just wanted to make sure that you feel the same.'

Rapunzel rolls her eyes at him, annoyed. Why did he always do this to her? Faking that he liked her...And making fun of it in front of everyone...When she first met hem, she ignored it and she would just walk away...But something changed...He was really not that bad...He even stopped dating other girls...Popular single girls like Cinderella would trip over their feet for a smoulder, but nope, he would give them nothing back.

But now, she...kind of wanted his flirting to be true...A guy who would love her, really love her...

'Punzie? Hello?' Flynn waves his hand before her face.

Rapunzel snaps back into reality. 'You zoned out,' Flynn states as a matter of fact.

'I'm sorry but I really need to study.'

'That's fine. I'll join you.'

The two walk to a table in the library, Rapunzel grabbing some books from the shelf along the way.

While walking, she pushes Flynn playfully 'Since when do you study?'

'Well...You are the smartest girl in class...Maybe even from the entire school. So I need to compete.'

'You don't always have to be the best in everything,' Rapunzel smiles, while sitting down.

She opens her book and starts to read, but she looks up at Flynn. He stares at his feet.

'I actually expected you to react...I don't know, something sarcastic ...'

Flynn looks up 'Oh yeah...right...It's just that I...'

'Flynn...Are you okay?' Rapunzel asks a little concerned. She has never seen him this way.

Before she knows, he grabs her over the table by her sleeve. 'Can you keep a secret?'

Oh no...What is going on? Something bad? Is he a wanted thief? She wonders panicked.

'Yeah...'

'Listen...The secret is...I can't lose.'

Rapunzel looks at him confused 'Because...You're popular?'

He shakes his head 'Nah...Those guys want me as their friend anyway, even if I fail....B-but I mean...I can't lose because of my...parents...'

'You never told me about your parents Flynn...Are they strict?'

'Well...actually...They aren't my real parents...My real parents died a long time ago...' he whispers.

Rapunzel grabs his hand. He gives her a sweet smile and continues 'I live with adoptive parents now, but they don't like me at all...They are strict, and mean...They can only see me as the annoyingly popular Flynn, the bad guy.'

He grabs her other hand 'And that is why I like you...You don't care about my fan club or my popularity...' He moves closer to her.

'Flynn...You are so much more than a bad boy...But...If it is your dream to become a person who is loved for who he actually is, you should probably find a new dream.'

'Let's go together to Merida's party. I'll pick you up.' he sort of insists.

Rapunzel nods at him, 'Okay, but I...' before she can continue, he pulls her into a hug, holding her close and protectively.

'I know how you feel...' she whispers back, not sure if he can hear her 'My mother also doesn't accept me the way I am...'

I am back with this story...fi-nal-ly. I wasn't sure if anyone was reading it actually. But if there is someone reading this, I really hope you enjoyed! <3
