Flynn wants to reach out, tell her that she can't just tell the guards that she's the lost princess but obviously she resembles one of her parents because the guard does a double take and then leads them inside. He wants to leave her to meet her parents but she holds onto him as the guard leads them through to a balcony right outside the castle. "Rapunzel, this is meeting your parents. I shouldn't be with you for this."
"I want you with me," she murmurs, looking at him, and he can see that she's trying to recognize something in his eyes.
He feels sick as she looks at him with such hope. "I love you," he says, watching as her face breaks out into a smile and the sickness intensifies. He knows that he couldn't have left her in the evil woman's hands but he feels guilty for doing this to her.
Squeezing his hand, Rapunzel smiles so wide at him and she is simply radiant. "I love you too," she says and for a moment he thinks that he can see yellow light glowing out of her, just like Fate.
They both turn as the doors fly open and there stand the king and queen. As soon as Flynn sees them he can see why the guard had immediately escorted Rapunzel back there. Rapunzel looks just like her mother although he wonders where she got her hair color from. Flynn is surprised when they reach out, pulling him into a family hug but he goes with it.
Flynn pulls back after a while though, kissing Rapunzel's cheek, making her promise to seek him out after she has bonded with her parents and retiring to a side room. He paces, watching the clock, feeling like every minute is passing so extraordinarily slow and at the same time too fast. He wants the 24 hours to last forever but the time without Rapunzel is taking too long. For a while, he talks to the guards, telling them that Rapunzel is still in danger but, now that they're aware and that Rapunzel is older, he knows that she'll be alright. After seeing him, he has a feeling that the woman won't be coming back.
It feels like it's been days when she finally comes in, her smile wide as she wraps her arms around his neck. "Thank you for reuniting us," she says, her eyes gleeful as she looks up at him.
"Rapunzel, it's getting late," he responds, looking out at the sky. It has to be nearly noon and so he has maybe 7 hours left. It doesn't seem like long enough. He wants to marry her. He wishes that he could marry her, have children with her, be with her forever. Flynn can hide nothing even from himself because he is dead and his body will be gone in 24 hours and he wants to stay with her.
"Mother and Father have said that you can stay. You have to stay in an entire different wing but I've told them all about you. If you want to stay then-"
He reaches up a hand, covering her mouth carefully, gently, looking into her eyes. His heart breaks because he knows that she wants just what he wants. Flynn chooses his words carefully, moving his hands so that he grabs hers. "My 24 hours is nearly up."
Rapunzel tilts her head to the side, shaking her head, frowning deeply. "Why do you believe that you only have 24 hours? Or is that just an excuse to leave me?"
"I didn't sleep last night, Rapunzel. I saw my body. It's probably still hanging where they left me. I don't want to leave you, Rapunzel but I have to. It was my time," he whispers because he still doesn't think that's fair. "I came back because my love for you was so strong. And now I have to go. I mean, you have freaky magic hair. This is kinda the same thing. You know that freaky stuff happens."
Setting her jaw, Rapunzel shakes her head. Flynn wishes that he could read her mind. He hopes that she understands just how much he wants to be with her. "We'll see when your 24 hours are up," she says stubbornly.
He supposes that's the best he's going to get out of her. "Alright. Let's go out though. Please. Humor me. Just for my final hours."
Rapunzel looks up at him and for just a moment he thinks he sees a sadness in her eyes that means that she understands that they really only do have a few hours left. Then she nods, the movement almost impersonal as she plays with the hair on the back of his neck. "I can humor you. Where should we go?"

Flynn feels guilty for only a moment about taking her away from her parents but he knows that she has the rest of her life to spend with them. He avoids the guards, simply because he's not sure who would have seen his dead body and he doesn't want to make a scene. They dance in the square where they had first danced, thankful that Rapunzel's mother had put her hair up.
They talk more, taking off their shoes and wading into the water. Flynn thinks he knows everything there is to know about her life before they met and he's not bored, even when she says that it was boring, talking about how she did the same thing every day. Perhaps it has to do with her lips as he watches them, leaning in to kiss her every few moments.
He loves her. He feels his heart beat inside of his strange not quite his body and when he looks at the sky he knows that his time is coming. He doesn't want to leave her. He falters in the middle of a story as he looks, seeing that the sun is starting to set. Rapunzel looks up as well and she looks over at him, shaking her head desperately. "Don't leave me."
"I don't want to. Rapunzel, please believe me that I don't want to leave you." He can't breathe as he looks over at her and he wonders whether this time it'll be as painless as his neck breaking. "I love you. I've never been so honest with anybody before but these past 24 hours… They've been the best day of my life."
Flynn means that with all of his heart as Rapunzel's eyes fill with tears. He wonders if she had believed him in the very beginning, if she hadn't wanted to believe it and he doesn't blame her. Who would want to believe it? He doesn't want to. "I love you. What am I going to do? You freed me. You're my new dream. My new dream is to be with you."
For a moment, Flynn can't answer because he's too choked up. She was his new dream too. He would've done anything for her. He came back from death for her. "You'll have a new new dream. You'll meet new people. You have your parents."
Shadows begin to fall as Rapunzel presses herself as close to him as she can. She looks into his eyes, not saying a word and he doesn't speak either. They look at each other and Flynn wonders if his life would've been different if somebody had looked at him with the amount of love that she's looking at him with before now. A minute passes and Rapunzel slips forward as Flynn disappears. She presses her hands to her face, pressing hard on her eyes and lets her hands fall again as if she expects him to be back.
Flynn is only allowed to watch for a moment before Fate appears before him again. "Come. She will be alright. The guards know she's here," the being says, reaching out a hand to Flynn.
Looking down at the hand glowing brightly, he wonders what would happen if he didn't take it. He reaches out and rests his hand in the being's, aware of being weightless and then of being in a very bright place.
"You've done well, Eugene Fitzherbert. You have been selfless and you will be rewarded."
"What?" Flynn asks, looking around, wondering whether this is the afterlife. He's rapidly getting a headache from the brightness of it all and he hopes that he's not destined to be here forever. He doesn't think he'd like that very much and especially after the last 24 hours he believes that he deserves an enjoyable afterlife.
Fate turns a page.
Flynn remembers nothing as he hangs onto stone. "Wow. I could get used to a view like this." - I couldn't resist the not quite angsty ending. I hope it was what you hoped for!

That. Was. Adorable. So sad at the beginning, and then Fate intervened, and the movie happened! It was perfect! I'm totally okay with the happier ending, thank you so much!
