AYDA

First Kiss

( Getting a little steamy, eh? )

I woke up feeling like someone just ran over me. With a coconut cart. On overload.

I groaned, sitting up with my back against the mast.

"Ayda? Oh thank the gods you're okay!"

I opened my eyes into the bright light glimmering off the ocean waves.

Maui, I hope you're not going to do what I think you're going to do... The Ocean warned.

My eyes suddenly clicked into focus. I squeaked in shock as I saw Maui's face inches from mine. He looked extremely relieved.

"Wh-What?" I stuttered, blushing at his closeness.

"You're alive!" He exclaimed.

And suddenly, before I knew what was happening, Maui's lips had pressed against mine.

I sat in shock for a moment while he stayed like that, his strong arms wrapped around my waist.

And then I got over the shock and realized exactly what was happening.

And I liked it. I tentatively wrapped my arms around his neck, closing my eyes and kissing him back.

Maui! The Ocean shouted in disapproval, slapping a wave into the side of the boat.

The Ocean possibly made it worse.

I lost my balance and ended up laying on Maui, our lips apart again.

I was beet red.

The Ocean wrapped a wave around my waist and lifted me up , placing me on my feet.

Be careful child. We are about to run aground at the Island of The Realm of the Monsters.

I panicked slightly. "M-Maui," I stuttered, tripping over his name. "Why are we here!?"

"Tamatoa." He answered simply, standing up and glancing at me fir a long moment before pulling the canoe alongside the black island.

"He has my hook."
