@rcpunzells // flynn & rapunzel. in which flynn rider can’t keep his sticky fingers to himself.
It’s been a few weeks now, in which Flynn Rider has stolen himself away from the Jolly Roger whenever he has a spare moment, on the hunt for the secluded and very hidden rumored mermaid stash of amazing jewels and goodies. There is the usual mermaid lagoon that everyone knows about, but Flynn knows they wouldn’t hide the good stuff there out in the open for everyone to stumble upon and plunder. But he’s in search for something much more off the beaten path.
And finally, he seems to have found it. A gorgeous glimmering pool of water tucked safely away behind a plethora of fauna, flora, and some rather large rocks. Flynn moves silently across the ground, eyes peeled for any sign of mermaids who might catch him. As he rounds a corner, there he sees it. A glittering mound of treasure--gold coins, pearl necklaces, jewels of every shape and color. The one thing that immediately catches his eye of a gorgeous pearl crown. And it’s just sitting there, waiting to be taken.
This is almost too easy.
Flynn sneaks to the edge of the water, looking briefly down at his reflection. No mermaids there, lurking underneath the surface that he can tell.
And then his hand reaches out, fingers mere inches away from the sparkling pearl. “Almost there..” He whispers barely audibly to himself. He pauses, a sudden wave of paranoia washing over him, and looks around.
