Omg was that…
WAS THAT A MERIDA SMOLDER
IT WAS. MERIDA BEATS FLYNN AT THE SMOLDER, HANDS DOWN.
Eugene! Eugene look! Merida smoldered!!
wow, impressive
“yes, I was hoping you wouldnt notice the glitter and question it. But I’m smooth and could probably have come up with some excuse though.” he smirks, ” not that I’d ever lie to you if I wasn’t try to cover up a surprise” he says quickly. He smiles at her offer to dance. “there’s no music though sweetie. I guess we can made do though” bowing he extends him hand to her, “may I have this dance?”Her enthusiasm over this book was so sweet. He should have figured that she’d be so excited, she usually was by things like this. The campfire page was one of his favorites too, that moment held a special place in his heart because that is when he realized that he was falling in love with her. “I wish I could say that the glitter was my idea but it was Pascal’s. I was a bit afraid to use glitter after the last time I used it and I was glittery all day. But Pascal told me to do it. That’s how much I love you, I got glittery just for you” he smiles. The next page is about her birthday in the kingdom. ” you know, that day was perfect except for one thing. I never got to dance with you. I wish I had of”That was it, the difficult part was over. Well, for now it was. After the wedding part and the honeymoon would come he real difficult part, being and prince and a husband. Now it was time to celebrate though and not worry. It was time to hold his beautiful wife, feed her cake, dance with her and probably tell her 1000 times how beautiful she looked and how much he loved her because he couldn’t say it enough. She gave him one hug and then another, him squeezing her tightly both times. Then she asked him if he was ready. He didn’t know what exactly she was asking if he was ready for but he was ready for it all. “yes, I’m ready” he smiles at her and kisses her hand before they start to walk down the aisle together. The whole journey down the aisle he has a huge grin on his face as if to say to ever guy in the room, ‘that’s right, you should be jealous of me’. Once they’re out of the church he picks her up by the waist and gives her another kiss.
Rapunzel grinned, kissing him back, their second kiss as Husband and Wife. Should she keep a tab? Nah, she’d probably loose count. She smiled, nuzzling into his neck, then blinking, remembering a lovely bit of information. “Eugene! We have time to kill before the reception!” They didn’t need to be at the actual party until later- they had about 2-3 hours of time all to themselves!
“We could do whatever we want! We could go exploring!”He takes in her nuzzling his neck for a moment before he places her back on her feet. “Oh ya, I forgot about that” he says excitedly. He was so wrapped up in the wedding that just happened that he’d forgotten about the time lapse before the reception. “Well, I’m so happy to get to spend some time with you alone before the reception. We can go exploring if you like but I think it’d be best if we kept our clothes clean, we still need to look nice for the rest of the day”
Rapunzel thought about that, then nodded. “That’s true. Hummm, well I don’t really know of places where there can be clean adventuring-do you?” She always liked to think Eugene knew every place of Corona, because he had been all around it for his whole life. He seemed to know every nook of it- she’d bet he’d hidden in every nook too. Surely he must know a place.
She smiled at him. “Anything coming to mind?” She wanted to be gone before everyone piled out of the church to congratulate her and Eugene- they’d get to all of that later.“Hmm ” Eugene thinks, placing a finger to his chin. “Actually, there’s something that I have to show you, or rather there’s something I have to give you” he takes her hand and starts to lead her away from the church before everyone exits. With her he sneaks from the church and back into the castle to their room.
Before the enter the room he scoops her off her feet and carries her in. “I’m supposed to carry you over the threshold to prevent back luck on our marriage but I don’t know if that is supposed to be just tonight or if I have to do it everytime we enter a room today. I’m not taking chances though” he says as he places her back on the ground. “Okay, close your eyes” he instructs. Once her eyes are closed he digs around in his closet until he finds the hidden gift. “Okay, open them” he says. First he hands her a gold heart shaped locket. “I want you to have this. It was my mom’s and It’s the only thing I have of her’s and somehow I kept it all these years. I think she’d want you to have this if she were here today” he smiles. “And your other gift is something I made. Pascal helped too” he hands her a handmade book that says on the cover ‘The Tales of Eugene and Rapunzel Fitzherbert’. “It’s a scrapbook and it tells our story. Everything’s in there from my old wanted poster to that little sun flag I bought you on your birthday. I know it’s not much but I just wanted to make you a little something. It’s made with love”
One moment Rapunzel was running then she was at her door, then in the air. it was all so exhilarating and she loved it! She loved everythin-
“Now close your eyes.”
What? Why! She wanted to keep looking at him, not be in the dark! But she obeyed, obviously Eugene was doing something important, so she wanted to make him happy. When she opened them and saw the locket, she about fell into his arms. It was so beautiful, so perfect, so…so not Eugene that it melted her. She’d never been given anything like this- anything so special to another person.
“Oh-Oh Eugene, I…can’t accept this! I mean, it was your mom’s. I mean, it’s special!” When she saw the other gift, she beamed. It was also perfect! This one was more Eugene…more sturdy somehow, but still surprising.
“I can’t believe you actually did it!” She exclaimed, running her hands over the book’s cover. “You actually made a book about us! It’s fantastic!” She hugged him, forgetting about anything except his love. “Thank you so much! I love it!”“Of course I want you to have the necklace. It’s special to me and you’re special to me too. It’s not like I’d wear it anyway” he smiles. He was so worried that she wouldn’t like the book. She was an artist and she could probably make her own book that looked 100 times better but he really wanted to do this for her. ”I can’t believe I did it either. I was never that good at crafts, even as a kid. I guess I learnt something from watching you paint all the time. I’m glad you like it babe” he squeeze her as she hugs him, holding her for a bit to take in her scent and her love
“You made it, Eugene. Of course I love it!” She hugged him back, unable to resist reading the book over his shoulder. “Ooh! I like the campfire page! Did you put glitter in my hair?” She laughed, turning the book left, then right, watching the shimmers of her hair as the glitter worked it’s magic. “That’s so creative, Eugene! See! You can be an artist too!”
“Aww, well Pascal is really good with crafts. We used to do them all the time.” Rapunzel made a mental note to get back to spending some craft time with Pascal, maybe make some macaroni-art or candles. She laughed at his ‘glittery’ story.
“Is that why you sparkled for a few days?” She asked, grinning. “I was wondering! I though maybe one of the kids had gotten you!” She looked at the dancing page, then smiled, an idea coming to her. She put the book down on her bed and grinned, curtseying after taking a step back. “Why don’t we start now?”
“well, I used to be a thief, running from the law. Though it is an adventurous life it’s not a very nice one” Eugene shrugs. “before that life I was an orphan and it’s really not nice to live with the scars of not being able to find anyone to love you even when you’re a cute little kid” Eugene sighs. His happiness returns and he chuckles when he is challenged to smolder “okay, here comes the smolder” Eugene squints his eyes and puckers his lips, showcasing the smolderAt least he’d gotten Robert to smile. This was a start. “ya, there are things in my past that I wish I could forget too” Eugene shrugs. Eugene really just wanted to forget those lonely childhood nights at the orphanage, forget the fact that he was a thief, forget the person he was that he hated. “I think that’s part of the problem. You need to loosen up and relax. We should go out to the bar sometime. I can teach you how to charm the ladies, I may even teach you how to do my famous smolder, the smolder has a 99% success rate with the ladies”After hearing his explanation Eugene doesn’t really blame Robert for not believing in love. He had a failed relationship and was a single father. Eugene would act the same if he was in the same situation. “hmm, that’s tough. There must be another girl for you though. I mean look at you, you’re almost as handsome as me” he smirksEugene noticed a change in Robert right away. Perhaps he was being too hard on him. Eugene had only experienced lovey dovey stuff because he’d never been in a relationship before Rapunzel, just hookups. “oh” Eugene says softer, ” well I’m sorry to hear that. What exactly happened to you?… If you don’t mind me asking”
Robert sighed. He considered rejecting the man’s curiosity, but he supposed he did owe some kind of explination, especially after he’d been so rude. “… My wife, Clara. She… er… well everything was good at first. We were in love. It was if I was living in a dream, I s’pose. And then one day, I…” Robert trailed off with a sigh. ”I woke up” he told Eugene, glancing down. He linked his fingers together just for something to do. He could barely think about Clara - still.
Robert gave half a smile at Eugene’s last comment. “Thanks” he chuckled lightly. “Sometimes I just wish I could forget, you know, and be the man I used to be. I haven’t been out for a drink with the guys since Clara left. Actually, I don’t even have ‘guys’ any more…”
Robert grew curious as Eugene mentioned his past. “Mm, like what?” he asked, folding his arms again, looking at Eugene with interest. Then he chuckled at the ‘smolder’ part. “Alright, let’s see this famous smolder then” he challenged, raising his eyebrows.
She really was radiantI think “radiant” is a pretty accurate description… I decidedly approve that Disney chose a simpler wedding design - the dress, for example. Let the emotions speak for themselves.
Besides, whoever designed the reception went way overboard. Good thing Maximus and Pascal wrecked it all XD
