Romance Fan Fiction / Other Fan Fiction ❯ Stars Above - A Cassunzel Fanfic ❯ Chapter 10: Forever ( Chapter 10 )

Standing in front of Calliope's place, Cassandra groans. “Do we really have to go in there?”

"Yes, Cass. If anyone knows where that object came from, it's her.”

“I thought you said it came from Gothel?”

“I did but when I still had the sunstone, I always felt some kind of magical unbalance. If anyone knows where Gothel got it in the first place, it’s her. Maybe we can find out what destroyed that part of the forest too.”

“Ugh, fine.” Cassandra groaned as she and Rapunzel made their way towards the place. Cassandra kept the deposited object hidden in her satchel for Rapunzel freaked out every time she saw it.

Rapunzel mentally prepared for herself the most annoying person on the planet. Cassandra was behind her, arms crossed and pouting. Rapunzel turned to her. “Look, I don’t wanna be here as much as you don’t. But if there’s any chance that this thing is actually dangerous, we need to find out.” Cassandra sighed as Rapunzel turned and knocked on the door.

“Coming!~.” A sing-song voice came from the other side. There were loud sounds of crashing and stuff breaking before the short women opened the door. “How can I- ah!” The girl retreated, hiding behind her much bigger pet upon seeing Cassandra.

Rapunzel immediately held her hands up to try and calm her. “It’s okay, it’s okay!” Rapunzel patted Cassandra’s head. “She’s good now.”

“But she tried to kill me! Is she gonna kill me?!” Calliope screeched.

“Hm, depends on how annoying you get.”

“Cass!” Rapunzel reprimanded and elbowed her in the side. Cassandra only rolled her eyes before Rapunzel turned back to Calliope and smiled. “She won’t do anything to you.” She suddenly turned to Cassandra and glared at her. “Right, Cassandra?”

Cassandra grumbled and crossed her arms. “Fine.”

The glare faded and she smiled brightly, clapping her hands. “Great! See?”

Calliope gave them a skeptical look then moved aside with a smile. “Great! Come on in.” She trotted back inside.

“Wow, she’s more gullible than you.” Cass said. Rapunzel gave her a deathly stare. Cassandra quickly looked away. “Were!” She exclaimed. Rapunzel rarely ever glared, but when did, whew! It was a sight to make anyone shake in their shoes. Cassandra cleared her throat, still avoiding the princess’s eye contact. “She’s more gullible than you were.”

“Uh-huh.” Rapunzel responded sarcastically with a roll of her eyes before walking inside. Inside, it wasn’t much different than the last time they were there. Various mystical objects were placed and hung everywhere, papers and books crowded the desks and floors.

“So what can I do for you?” Calliope asked. Rapunzel opened her mouth to say something but Calliope interrupted, of course. “I bet it’s something having to do with magic right? I know magic very well, as you know.”

Cassandra groaned and Rapunzel forced a smile. “Actually, yes, but-”

“Come sit down and tell me!” Calliope signaled to the table. Cassandra and Rapunzel looked at each other but otherwise obliged.

Cassandra took out the object from her bag. “Do you know anything about this?”

Calliope seemed to examine it. “It looks familiar.. While I try to remember what it is, you wanna hear of some magical stories that’s happened these last 4 years! Spoiler alert: I was awesome.” Calliope gloated.

“Actually, no, we-”

“Perfect!” Calliope then started launching into some magical story that sounded way to fake. Rapunzel, being the polite person she was, listened with a forced smile. Cassandra groaned and facepalmed her head on the desk.

It had been nearly 4 hours. 4 hours of Calliope gloating and down-grading Raps and Cass. How the hell did she talk so much? She barely has taken a breath. Cassandra looked like she was about to explode any second. Rapunzel was slumped in her chair, her face unreadable.

“And that’s how it ends!” They both groaned in delight at finally being done. But then Calliope started another story.

“Enough already!” Someone shouted, slamming their hands on the desk. But it wasn’t Cassandra. Both Calliope and Cassandra were stunned into silence. “Ugh! Do you ever shut up??”

Calliope stared at her in shock. Cassandra leaned back with her arms crossed before looking at Calliope and pointing a finger towards her pissed-off girlfriend. “She’s been hanging around me too much.” She stated simply. Rapunzel shot her a glare and Cassandra quickly added: “Shutting up.”

Rapunzel rolled her eyes and stood all the way and glared daggers at Calliope. “You are the most egotistical, annoying person I have ever met! And that’s saying something, considering I dated the most self-absorbed person on the planet!” Cassandra was surprised how fast she threw Eugene under the bus. It was a struggle to contain her laughter as she looked away. Although she was absolutely terrifying right now, Cassandra had to admit, she looked absolutely hot that it gave her goosebumps. You couldn’t wait to get the girl alone.

“Well, that wasn’t very nice.” Calliope crossed her arms.

“Wha-?” Rapunzel facepalmed. “It wasn’t supposed to be! Look, can you just help us? Please?”

“Fine, all you had to do was ask.” Calliope stated, turning her back. Rapunzel looked like she was about to murder the girl. Although Cassandra would have loved to see that, it wouldn’t have gotten them anywhere so she quickly stood up and stood in front of Rapunzel, quickly pulling out the object in question so she could quickly change the subject.

“So, do you know anything about this?” Cassandra asked quickly. Calliope snatched it from Cass’s hands. Cass had to keep her temper in check or this girl was going to die.

“Hm..” She examined it.

“Well?” Rapunzel asked, her tone lacing with agitation.

“Actually, I’ve never seen it before in my life. Sorry.” Calliope responded, giving them a bored look before she focused on doing something else.

“Sor- You.. What?!” Rapunzel shouted and moved from around Cassandra. “You made us sit here for 4 hours to listen to your constant, egotistical, lies just to tell us that?!” Rapunzel prowled towards the girl, fists clenched.

“Actually, they’re not lies. No need to be jealous about the fact that you didn’t get to-” She didn’t get to finish. Rapunzel all but grabbed her shirt and lifted her up to face-level. Her fists were clenched so tight, they were white.

“Will you just shut up?!”

Cassandra watched the scene from afar, arms crossed and a small smirk plaguing her lips. Calliope peered from behind Rapunzel, eyes wide with fear. “Aren’t you gonna stop her?!”

“Nah.” Cassandra responded simply. Rapunzel only huffed and threw the girl back on the ground as she landed with a ‘oof!’. She then whirled around and Cassandra quickly wiped the glare off her face. She really did not want to be a victim of Rapunzel’s usually tamed wrath.

She then marched over to her and grabbed her arm and all but dragged her away. “Let’s go Cass, we’ve already wasted enough time here.”

Callioped rushed to the door. “But don’t you want to hear more-”

Rapunzel whirled on her and with the coldest, most deadly voice Cassandra ever heard, she responded: “No.” Then she slammed the door.

Cassandra followed behind Rapunzel as she uttered a spray of curse words that Cassandra didn’t think she was capable of saying. Her fists clenched, she was all but marching through the forest. She was not a force to be messed with right now. Anyone on the end of a fuming Rapunzel would be running for the hills.

Cassandra wasn’t focused on that though. All that she could think was how hot Rapunzel was at that moment. Seeing Rapunzel actually do something she would do.... did things to her. Unable to take it anymore, or hold herself back, she all but slammed her against a tree, not enough to hurt her but enough to surprise her, and captured her lips into a searing kiss.

Rapunzel was surprised at the sudden rough treatment. Hell, she was surprised at the sudden boldness Cass had. What the hell has gotten into her? Of course, they had shared more than a couple kisses these past few weeks, but it was never like this. Cassandra was kissing her like she was the air she needed to survive. She was kissing her with such passion and sear that it sent her head spinning and made an ache form between her legs. Cassandra never kissed her like this. She could tell this wasn’t an innocent, goodnight kiss, this was a passionate ‘I wanna fuck you so bad right now’ kiss.

Rapunzel found herself falling into the passion as she melted against Cassandra and wrapped her arms around her neck. As Cassandra pushed her tongue in Rapunzel’s mouth, she let out a low moan. Rapunzel had never felt like this before. Not even when she was with Eugene. He was always so careful, gentle and loving but Cass was rough, dominating but still gentle and loving. It made Rapunzel’s body set ablaze into a feeling she had never felt before. She was never a dirty person, even in private couple activities, but Cass kissing her with such fever made her swoon and her mind immediately turned dirty at all the things she wanted Cass to do to her.

When air became a necessity, Cassandra pulled away and panted softly, their mouths still inches away. Rapunzel panted along with her, her eyes dark with desire, a look Cass had never seen in her before. It made her turned on even more. But what set her off was the dazed, heated expression Rapunzel was giving her. She looked almost in awe and there was disbelief hiding behind those eyes as she stared up at her girlfriend.

“Wow.” Rapunzel whispered, her voice lower than usual. “Where did that come from?”

“Sorry,” Cassandra apologized, her voice husky as she held onto Rapunzel’s hips. “You just... looked so hot and I couldn’t control myself.” Rapunzel only stared up at the taller girl, that expression never leaving. Cassandra, suddenly backing up, gave Rapunzel a smirk. “Come on, let’s go.”

Rapunzel blinked a couple times before she came back to herself. “Go?” She asked. “Now?”

“Yep.”

“But, Cass-” Rapunzel whined in desired desperation. When Cassandra looked away and only gave her a smirk, Rapunzel pouted. “You tease! You can’t just.. just do that and leave me here!”

“Watch me.” Cassandra smirked.

“Casss!” She whined.

“Now you know how it feels. This is how I felt since the first time I met you. So now, this is payback.” She started to walk off.

Rapunzel pouted and followed her. She walked to stand next to her, arms crossed and pouting. “You’re so mean.”

“Yeah, but you know you love me.”

“Do I know that?” She responded sarcastically.

If Rapunzel was going to be like that, then Cassandra had no problem showing Rapunzel who was the best at teasing. Cassandra turned to her and gave her another heated stare, she lowered her voice an octave. “I don’t know, do you know that Rapunzel?” She said each syllable of her name was slow and husky.

A blush immediately darkened her face as she looked into her girlfriends desire-filled eyes that promised a very, very good time. Rapunzel gulped, unable to tear her eyes away, her legs feeling weak. Seeing Rapunzel turn to jelly with just a heated look made Cassandra smirk as she turned to her and placing her fingers under chin, she sensually leaded her head up to meet her eyes. Fingers still under chin, she leaned in close and whispered into her ear: “Because I know you do.” Then she traced the edge of her ear with her tongue, making Rapunzel shiver. She then placed a long kiss on her lips and before Rapunzel could respond, she pulled away and walked away with a triumphant laugh.

Rapunzel stood in the safe place for a second, eyes wide and body hot, wondering what the hell just happened before grumbling. “Two can play at that game.” She whispered, promising herself to get Cass back.

Cassandra and Rapunzel had set up a fire for the night. Rapunzel was thinking about how to start the plan she whipped up to that would make Cassandra beg for more. Again, she wasn’t a dirty person. But there was one thing she had that erased her dignity: her stubbornness. She wasn’t going to let Cass get away with her earlier torture.

She started phase one: compliments. Cassandra always got flustered whenever Rapunzel complimented her. It would weaken Cassandra’s resolve. Crawling over to her girlfriend, she sat between her legs. Cassandra immediately wrapped her arms around her stomach and pulled her closer, resting her chin on her shoulder.

“You know, Cass,” Rapunzel started while tracing her muscular arms. “Did I ever tell you that I’m a muscle girl?”

“I see what you’re doing Raps and it’s not gonna work.”

Rapunzel seriously doubted that. She started off easy. Smirking, she turned around in Cassandra’s lap. Placing her arms around her neck as she straddled her. She traced a path up her arm slowly with her fingers before resting them on her shoulder. “Are you sure about that?”

“Yep.” Cassandra responded but Rapunzel could hear the small amount of struggle in her voice.

“Oh yeah?” Rapunzel lightly grazed her nails up Cassandra’s back. She could feel Cassandra shiver and the slight movement of her shifting her legs so that they were pressed together.

“Y-Yeah.” Cassandra responded, her voice breaking. But she held her ground.

Rapunzel started the next phase of her plan. Hit Cassandra in all the places that she knew would drive her crazy. Leaning forward, she sensibly ran her lounge up Cassandra’s neck. This time, Cassandra stiffened and she couldn’t stifle a moan no matter how hard she tried to muffle it. Biting her tongue, Cassandra held her ground and stayed perfectly still. She wouldn’t let Raps win. Raps was just as stubborn and she wasn’t about to quit until Cass was shaking in her arms.

Rapunzel gently grazed Cass’s muscular arms then cupped both of her cheeks. She brought her face down for a sof, loving, but still ever so hot, kiss.

“Raps, you’re playing a dangerous game here.” Cassandra muttere after Rapunzel parted, her eyes dark with desire.

Rapunzel giggled. “That’s kind of the point.” She then leaned forward and whispered huskily into her ear: “Because I know you want me as much as I want you.” Cassandra groaned. Rapunzel finally put the last part of her plan into motion. Her voice dark and husky, she whispered: “What type of things do you want to do to me Ca-ssan-dra?”

Cassandra groaned. “You know what? Fuck it.”

“Cas-mpft!” Rapunzel tried to reprimand but was interrupted by Cass pulling her into a searing kiss while Cassandra’s hands were on her hips. Rapunzel, still straddling her, kissed her back just as feverishly. Rapunzel’s nightgown strap fell off her shoulder, showing her bare shoulder.

Cassandra parted then whispered, her voice harsh and hot. “Just because your plan worked, doesn’t mean you won.”

Rapunzel giggled. “I think it does though.”

Cassandra rolled her eyes but resumed kissing her. Bringing both of them to their feet, Cassandra pushed Rapunzel back, never breaking contact, then all but slammed, softly but harshly, against a tree. Rapunzel let out a surprised squeak but it quickly turned into a moan.

Cassandra was driving her insane. The way she roamed her hands over her body, not exactly touching like Rapunzel needed, but used small feather-light touches. The way Cassandra dominantly pushed her body against the tree with her own. The way Cassandra was doing small hip thrusts into her. The way she was somehow so gentle but still so rough. And the worst part was, Cassandra knew that she was driving her insane; the smirk on her face proved that. Rapunzel had never quite felt like this before. Everywhere Cass touched, it set her body on fire. She was aware of every little touch. She had never felt so hot, so deep with desire, so dirty. Everyone knew that the way Rapunzel was acting most definitely wasn’t her. Some would laugh and say it was nearly impossible. Because she was innocent. But what could she say? Cassandra had awoken a part of her earlier in the day that she didn’t even know needed to be awakened. Cassandra made her feel things like never before.

Any one who knew Cass would say the same thing. They would have never expected her to be so bold, to be so dominating, to be so dirty. And most certainly, they would never expect the words coming out of both of their mouths. Dirty words. Mostly on Cassandra’s part. Both women would certainly be very, very embarrassed tomorrow but at that moment, they were too worked up, too gone, to give a damn about what they said or did.

“Fuck, Rapunzel, you have no idea what you do to me. What you’ve been doing to me all these years.” Cassandra panted.

Rapunzel moaned as Cassandra thrusted a particularly hard thrust into her. “Then why don’t you show me?”

“Oh, I plan too. You’re such a damn tease.”

“You started it, I was only getting payback.”

“Yeah, but now you’ve got me so worked up that there’s no way I’m gonna stop. And I’m sure as hell not gonna go slow, steady and gentle.”

“Then don’t stop. Don’t be gentle.”

Cassandra made a huffing sound. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you.” Cassandra then, once more, crashed her lips to Rapunzel’s. She then lifted Rapunzel’s up so that her legs were wrapped around her waist. That was probably a bad idea on Rapunzel’s part. Now Cassandra had free range to thrust into her fully. It was torture. It wasn’t enough to satisfy her, but it was still enough to leave her wanting more.

Tired of the torture, Rapunzel whined. “Cass..”

Cassandra only smirked. “Nu-uh. You teased me for hours, with your hips and your seductive looks. And don’t say you didn’t know what you were doing, Miss. ‘I’m so innocent’, because you knew exactly what you were doing. I plan to torture you until you’re begging and screaming for me.”

Rapunzel wanted to say more, but Cassandra’s damn hip thrusts wouldn’t let her get a word in. Smirking, Cassandra trailed a path of open-mouth, hot, wet kisses down Rapunzel’s neck. Leaving small bite marks so that everyone knew who she belonged to. Eventually, she pulled her dress over her head and threw it somewhere over her shoulder. Cassandra pulled back and raised an eyebrow at the black lingerie that covered Rapunzel’s chest and womanhood. Rapunzel looked away and blushed. “I- uh... bought them while you were healing in that town..”

“Hm,” Cassandra muttered. “Thinking of me Raps?”

“You have no idea.” Rapunzel groaned.

“Oh, trust me, I do.” Deciding she was done talking for now, she captured Rapunzel’s lips into another kiss. Cassandra gave her a particular hard hip thrust and Rapunzel gasped, throwing her head back with a moan. Without the confinements of her dress, she could now feel everything. “Like that, huh?” Cassandra gave another hard thrust and Rapunzel let out another moan. While Rapunzel’s head was thrown back, she attacked her neck, leaving wet trails down it. She sucked on her pulse for a second before placing a loving kiss on it, which didn’t go unnoticed by Rapunzel despite her situation, as she continued making small hip thrusts.

Rapunzel suddenly pulled her head back up to her lips. Rapunzel kissed her with such desire and passion that it made Cassandra dizzy as Rapunzel frantically pulled at her warrior uniform. Chuckling, Cassandra mumbled into her lips. “Feisty. I like it.” Rapunzel rolled her eyes and continued to desperately try to pull Cassandra’s clothes off. When Rapunzel got to her damn belt, it wouldn’t come off, and she made a frustrated huff. Cassandra laughed. “Hold on, hold on.” Rapunzel pulled her hands away as impatiently waited for her lover to pulled down her pants and throw them somewhere where she threw her dress. Now both women were dressed in only their bra’s and underwear.

Rapunzel unwrapped her legs from Cassandra’s hips and, now with exposed skin, she greedily ran her hands all over Cassandra’s body while kissing her. Eventually, she pulled away and kissed down her neck, much like Cassandra had done to her before, and kissed every scar she found. Cassandra let out a deep moan that had wetness rush down Rapunzel’s body to her womanhood. Making her way back up to her face she placed a loving kiss on her lips before she gently grabbed Cassandra’s right hand and brought the scarred, burned hand up to her lips to gently kiss her palm. Rapunzel held that hand close to her heart.

Cassandra let out a genuinely sweet smile that made Rapunzel’s heart soar as she felt Cassandra spread her fingers out so that her hand was placed firmly over Rapunzel’s heart. Rapunzel smiled and placed a hand on her cheek before placing a soft kiss on her lips. “I love you.”

“I love you too.” Cassandra responded as rested her forehead against Rapunzel’s. They stayed like this for nearly a minute before they resumed what they were doing before. Capturing Rapunzel’s lips, Cassandra pushed her tongue past her lips and into her mouth. Moaning, Rapunzel did the same. Their tongues battled for dominance, Cassandra won of course, as Cassandra pressed herself more firmly against Rapunzel’s body.

Cassandra then ran her hand down Rapunzel’s body, slowly, and continued to kiss her like she was the air she desperately needed to live. Cassandra made it to her destination as she rubbed the outside of Rapunzel’s underwear. Cassandra smirked. She was soaked. Rapunzel broke away from the kiss and moaned deeply. “Sensitive, are we?” Cass asked.

“I can’t help it,” Rapunzel mumbled. “You got me so worked up..”

Smirking, Cassandra continued her torture. She was rubbing her hand softly against Rapunzel’s underwear, briefly hitting the places Rapunzel needed to be touched, before moving away. Rapunzel whined. She needed more. “...Cass, please.”

Cassandra stopped all together, which made a cute frustrated moan escape her lips, as she innocently asked: “Please what, Raps?”

“Please, I need you to...” Rapunzel stopped again. She knew Cass was playing her, she knew Cass knew exactly what she wanted.

“You need me to do what?” Cassandra whispered, leaning in. “Tell me Raps, tell me what you need.” Rapunzel moaned as Cassandra thrusted into her. Starting to get a bit aggravated, for she wanted to hear Rapunzel say it, Cassandra spoke once more. “Tell me what you need Rapunzel! Now!”

“I want you to fuck me, Cass!” Rapunzel yelled back. All coherent thoughts out the door. She was really gonna hate herself tomorrow.

“Now, that’s more like it.” Cassandra smirked before thrusting her hand into Rapunzel’s underwear and pressing two fingers inside of her no problem. There was no resistance. Then she started pumping. Rapunzel, arms wrapped around Cassandra’s neck, hid her face in Cassandra’s shoulder as her moans grew in volume. “Come for me Raps,” Cassandra panted as she pumped into her even harder. “Come for me!” And boy, did she. Rapunzel’s body went slack, mouth open in a silent scream, as her body convulsed, sending her into unbelievable euphoria. She vaguely felt Cassandra pull out her fingers and wrap her arms around Rapunzel. After she came down from her high, she could see the cocky smirk that plagued Cassandra's lips. "Well?" She asked.

"Wow." Was all Rapunzel could say. "Just.. wow." Cassandra snickered before kissing Rapunzel.

She began to pull away. "Come on, let's head in. I'll take first watch."

"Wait," Rapunzel stopped her. "What about you?"

"Raps, you don't have to-" Rapunzel rolled her eyes and pulled Cassandra into a kiss.

"It's your turn now, Cassandra." She whispered hotly. How could Cassandra argue with that? "Lay down." Rapunzel demanded. Cassandra gave her a confused look but otherwise did what she was told and, moving away from the tree, moved to lay down on the floor, her head was propped her by their clothes. Before Cassandra could ask what the hell Rapunzel was doing, Rapunzel was straddling while on top of her and kissing her deeply. Cassandra didn't complain. Despite the vulnerable position that would have made Cassandra uncomfortable if it were anyone else, she trusted Rapunzel. 

Rapunzel's body was propped on top of hers as she kissed Cassandra with fever and passion. When Rapunzel pulled away, Cassandra propped herself up with her hands so she could see the beautiful sight in front of her. It was when Rapunzel started grinding against her that made her forget where the hell she was. Moaning deeply, she fell back onto her back. "Like that, Cass?" Cassandra could only nod. Rapunzel smirked. "Good, because I'm gonna drive you crazy." Cassandra moaned. She was seriously surprised at how dirty her innocent little vixen was but hey, she wasn't complaining. She knew she would only ever get to see this side of Rapunzel when they were doing stuff like this, which she seriously hoped was often. Rapunzel's dirty language and her eyes, dark with desire, turned Cassandra on like never before. She needed to bring this side out of her more often. 

Kicked out of her thoughts, Cassandra let out a surprised gasp as Rapunzel grinded against a specifically sensitive spot. Rapunzel kept that noted. Still grinding against her, which was also bringing Rapunzel pleasure, she kissed Cassandra before starting a trail of kisses down her body. Down her neck, she kissed her pulse, down to her breasts, she placed a kiss on each one, down her toned stomach, which she ran her hands up and down, down to her thighs, she kissed each of the inside of her thighs. She then pulled down her underwear and threw them somewhere. Cassandra tried to prop herself up again to see what she was doing but then she did the last thing Cassandra ever expected. She darted out her tongue. Cassandra fell back with a surprised gasp as she felt Rapunzel's warm tongue hit all her sensitive spots. 

Cassandra's moans grew in volume, her back arched, as Rapunzel added a finger, adding stimulation, and sucked on her clit. Another gasp from Cassandra as her hand shot out and landed tangled in Rapunzel's hair. "R-Raps," Cassandra tried to speak. "R-Rapun- I.. mmm.. you... I.. mmm..." She ended in a moan. She could feel the smirk as Rapunzel rendered her speechless but she couldn't seem to find it in her to care. She was so close. Just a little more.. It was when Rapunzel added a second finger and started pumping while she gently bit down and suckled on her clit that sent Cassandra over the edge. It came out of nowhere but boy, she wasn't unsatisfied. As she rode out her orgasm, she vaguely registered Rapunzel climbing back up her body and placing a small kiss on her lips. As Cassandra panted and could finally register the world around her, she stared up at her smirking girlfriend in awe. "When.. where did you..? ...How..?" She couldn't form a sentence.

Rapunzel giggled. "Years of untamed fantasies and wet dreams."

"Of... me?"

                                     "Well, of course silly."

"But... you said you didn't..?"

"That's how I started to find out that I was in love with you in the first place. I started having a lot of wet dreams and sometimes, I caught myself staring at you, as my mind went dirty. But I always pushed them away. That's what confused me for the longest time. I mean, surely, you don't feel those things towards just a friend, right?" 

"Depends what you're into." Cassandra gave her a lopsided smile.

Rapunzel laughed then gently swatted her shoulder. "Cass!"

Cassandra chuckled before grabbing Rapunzel and pulling her down so that her head rested on her chest and her arms were wrapped protectively around her like a security blanket. "We need to do that more often." 

Rapunzel giggled at the excitement in Cassandra's voice. "Well, we have all the time in the world." 

"Yeah," Cassandra confirmed, smiling sweetly at her girlfriend. "We do." Then she shook her head. "How in the world did we hold on this long?"

Rapunzel giggled. "No idea. Self-determination and fear or ruining the friendship we had, I guess."

Cassandra's face dropped for a second. "Yeah.." Rapunzel leaned up and smiled, pressing, loving, promising kiss to Cassandra's lips. 

"Let's not worry about that now. All that matters is that we're here now, together, and unbreakable. Forever. What was in the past, whatever happened, none of it matters now." Rapunzel smiled.

Cassandra smiled sweetly upon realizing that she wasn't just talking about their lack of admitting. "No," Cassandra responded. "No, it doesn't." With that, she pulled Rapunzel more firmly against her then pulled a blanket over the both of them. "I love you so much, Rapunzel."

Rapunzel yawned and cuddled more firmly into Cassandra, smelling her earthly scent and cuddling into her warmth. "I love you too, Cassandra. Forever."

"Forever." Cassandra repeated before she heard soft breathing coming from her girlfriend. Smiling one of those rare smiles, she pulled the blanket more securely around them and stared up at the beautiful, star-filled, moon-lit sky realizing that, for once in her life, she felt like she had a place where she finally belonged. 

For the first time in her life, she was truly, truly, 

...Happy.
