What Is This Feeling? ( A Moana Fanfic)

I'm Feeling Sick

I'm Feeling Sick

Chapter 5

Moana's POV

  A few hours later... 

      As much as I enjoy sailing on the open seas, I haven't been feeling well the past few hours. I've been trying my hardest not to throw up. The thing is I can't really hold it back anymore. "Maui, I'm sorry for what you're about to say." He opens to his mouth to ask me what I mean, but vomit comes out before he gets to answer. He panics and gets out of the way until he's sure that I'm done. I motion to him that I need a minute to catch my breath before I let him come over to me. 

    "Moana, I think we should stop sailing for the night. I see a small island nearby. We'll dock there for the night and see how things go from there." I object to it but he ignores me. He sails us towards the island he was talking about and ties up the boat to a tree near the shore. "Maui, what was that for? We have an important voyage and task to attend to. We can't just stop." "Actually Moana, stopping for one night won't kill us. Your health comes first. You need to have something easy on your stomach to eat, plenty of water to drink, and some rest. Now you stay put. I'm going to get your some fruit and water." I watch him wander off.

20 minutes later...

    Maui comes back with what he promised he would. For fruit, he got some bananas and grapes as well as water. "Thank you Maui. I really appreciate it. Though, I have to say I'm surprised that you care about my health this much." He looks away and does his famous head scratching. "You're welcome Moana and I'm trying my best not to be a self-centered jerk. I figured that would start with caring for the well being of others." I smile. He watches me while I eat. "Maui, you're making a little self conscious by staring at me eating." He laughs. "I didn't know a pretty girl like you could feel self conscious." 

    His compliment completely throws me off guard and I drop one of the bananas I was about to eat. Based on my actions, he looks like he's regretting that he blurted that out. "Moana, I'm sorry if that made you feel weird. I didn't mean any harm by it. God I'm an idiot." He holds his head in hands. "Maui, you're not idiot and I know you weren't being creepy. It just took me by surprise is all. I liked that you called me that." He's still holding his head in hands when I tell him that. I put an arm around him but try not to get too close to his face in case I throw up again. "Seriously Maui. I don't mind you calling me pretty. Nobody other than my family have said that to me and it's nice to hear it come out of someone else's mouth. It sounds more believable that way. You're not so bad yourself by the way." He looks at me in shock. "Really?" "Yes really."

   He moves closer to me and we sit in silence while I finish eating a banana and a few grapes. I then take a big swig of water as exhaustion hits me like a lighting streak. "Maui, I'm really tired. Do you mind if I sleep?" "Not at all. You need the rest." "Are you sure? I feel like I'm always the first falling asleep on you. I don't want to annoy you. I've done that enough as is." "Moana, you're sick. Who cares what or who annoys me. I just want you to sleep. If you wake up later and want to talk, I'll be here. If you don't, that's totally fine too. I can find ways to occupy myself." I nod taking in his words and lie on a soft patch of grass and use some flowers as a pillow. I fall asleep to the sound of Maui humming, which is actually a nice sound to fall asleep to.
