You Gave Up... (Part 2)

One Shot #8 (Cont.)

Maui's POV 

Time Skip... Six months later... 

    Moana and I have spent the last few months being friends, working our way up to dating again. I have obeyed her wishes of taking things slow because I can't afford to mess this up again. One more major mess up and it's over for good. I don't even want to think about living the rest of my life without Moana in it. The thought is just too miserable and heartbreaking. Though, Moana's been treating me better with each passing day. I think she's even starting to trust me again, as she's been filling me on what went on while I was away as well as what's currently going on her life now. It's progress for sure. 

     Moana and I are currently on the shore, staring at the vast ocean before us. Neither of us had anything to do today so we decided to hang out away from everyone else. Besides, Moana mentioned that she had something she wanted to talk to me about. Knowing her, she prefers to address matters in private rather than in front of a big crowd. I understand because I'm the exact same way. "Listen Maui, things have been going great between us these past few months, which I'm really happy about. I feel like we're slowly getting back to how close we were before. The distance is fading and our bond is growing once more. With that being said, I finally trust you completely again and I'm ready to take the next step." 

     "Wait Moana, are you saying you want to try again?" She tries to hold back a smile, but fails, causing my heart to race. "That's exactly what I'm saying. I'm in love with you Maui and I can't spend another day not being with you." I lean my forehead into hers and a tear falls down my face. I can feel Moana wipe it away and I stifle a laugh. "Thank you Moana, for not giving up on me. You could have, yet you found it in your heart to forgive me. Your strength and the love you have in your heart still amazes me to this day." She kisses my forehead and I close my eyes, soaking in the feeling of her lips making contact with my skin after nearly a year of not feeling them. "I knew you'd come back eventually. Despite my pain, I waited all of those months and spent everyday hoping you would. Thankfully, you didn't disappoint. I love you." I pull her close to me. "I love you more" I say as I begin to kiss her. When she kisses me back, a million emotions run through my mind and a familiar warmth runs through my body. 

         God I've missed this and her so much. Moana's everything to me, especially my heart and soul. Without her, my life has no meaning. I wouldn't survive without her and I sincerely mean that.
