What Is This Feeling? ( A Moana Fanfic)

We Need To Talk

We Need To Talk 

Chapter 31

 Moana's POV

    The next day...

     Maui was looking at me differently yesterday. Not with a lack of affection, but with really strong passion and desire. He also accidently grabbed me in certain areas a couple of times. It didn't feel horrible, but it was weird because I've never experienced that before. I think I need to talk to Maui and find out what's going on his in head. I go outside to the garden and find Maui sitting there amongst the flowers and.... vegetables? Apparently there is a vegetable garden now too. I'm assuming because of Maui. I smile. I never knew he was a gardener. You learn something new everyday. 

    I tap him off the shoulder and apparently throw him off guard because he looks surprised that I caught him gardening. "I never knew you liked gardening. That's awesome Maui." He blushes. "I was going to surprise you when the vegetables finally started to grow and make you another nice dinner. I guess now that you caught me in the act, it's not a surprise anymore." "That's okay Maui. I'm sure they'll grow in good time and they'll taste delicious." I want to talk to him about yesterday but I'm scared that I might upset him. I sigh. I know it needs to be discussed. I take a deep breath and hope for the best.

    "Listen Maui, there's something I need to talk to you about." He tries to read my expression. "This seems serious. Is everything okay?" I try to smile a bit so he doesn't freak out. "Yes and no. It's not extremely serious but it's serious enough that I need to be honest and speak up about it. Last night you were extra grabby with me. Not that I don't love when your romantic displays and acts of affection because they drive me crazy with desire, but you got a bit carried away last night." He frowns. "I'm sorry Moana. Sometimes I forget that you're young and don't have much experience in relationships. What exactly did I get carried away with doing? I want to know so I can make sure it doesn't happen again until I know for sure you're absolutely ready to do them."

   I bite my lip. "You squeezed my boobs and touched me..... down there in the sacred lands." He goes white as a sheet. "Dear god, Moana, I'm so sorry. I'm such a perverted idiot. I tell myself not to do these things but my conscious never listens to me." He hangs his head low and looks at the ground. "Now I feel like I violated you and that you're ashamed of me." Panic rises in my chest. I'm afraid Maui's going to slip into one of his depression spells. I grab a hold of his hands and hold them to my heart. "Maui, you did not violate me. It just took me by surprise is all. I've never been touched like that. It wasn't bad, just a bit weird because I wasn't used to it. As for being ashamed, please don't feel that way. I don't want you to into a sad spell and shut down on me." 

     He looks at me with pain in his eyes. "Moana, I did exactly what every bad guy out there does. I tried to take advantage of you and pressure you into doing things that you weren't ready to do. I remember clearly promising you that I wouldn't do that, but I broke that promise. I'm just a villain Moana. I'm going to hurt you at some point and that terrifies me." I begin to cry. "Maui, I don't care if you hurt me. Big deal. Sure it'll sting, but we'll get through it, just like we always have. I love you Maui. You're not a villain. You're a work in progress, just like everyone else. Mortals, demigods, god, creatures, etc. We're all simply works in progress in an everchanging world." 

     He sighs. "I know you're right Moana, but my inner demons refuse to accept that. I'm sure in time I'll be able to view in a more positive light. I'm just so blessed to have you. I just don't want my past mistakes to mess up what we have. I've never been happier than I am with you. Before you, I didn't know how that I could feel pure happiness. You're literally a ray of sunshine. Wherever we go, you put a smile on every living creature's face. I envy that. People look at me and  nine times out of ten, they tremble in fear. I want people to look up to me, not run away and hide from me." 

     I pull him towards me and kiss him until there's a lack of oxygen for both of us. When we pull our lips apart, we stand with our foreheads pressed against one of another. Neither of us says another word for a long time. Sometimes, actions just say what words never can.
