Moana and Maui: A Series Of One Shots

A Broken Part (Part 24)

A Broken Man (Part 24)

One Shot #27 (Cont.)

Maui's POV

The next day... arriving back in L.A...

  Moana hasn't said a word to me since she ran off last night. She's been crying an awful lot and refuses to look at me. I feel horrible. I mainly said what I said out of depression. My depression consumes me some days and turns me into a dark man that scares those around him. Clearly I did just that to Moana. Adam hired a driver to pick us up from the airport. He's riding along because he wants to know all about our trip. Based on our current situation, I'll probably be doing most of the talking... Moana grabs our bags from luggage and wheels me to the limo in silence. When we get settled, I'm going to have a talk with her. I'm going to apologize again for being so stupid. 

   Adam helps me into the limo and Moana gets in after me. Adam offers to move over so she can sit next to me, but she declines. She tells Adam that he can sit between us, which saddens me. I try to mask my pain with a fake smile. We make small talk to pass the time. When we get home, Moana and Adam bring in all of our luggage. Moana immediately drives into unpacking. I'm about to ride the elevator up to join her when Adam stops me. "What did you say to Moana? She's really upset Maui." I sigh. "I was an idiot last night. My depression got the best of me and I basically said I was going to have my doctor kill me." Adam looks at me with a mix of shock, horror, and sadness. "Maui... please tell me you're not going to go through with that plan." I look down in shame. "I was as of last night, but on the flight back, I came to my senses and realize that even though my career is down the toilet, I gained something so much more valuable. That being love. I was so vain and selfish before I met Moana, but she's made me a better man. I can see myself spending the rest of my life with that girl. That's why I knew I couldn't go through it. She's been through so much tragedy and I refuse to add to that." Adam puts a hand on my shoulder. "Go talk to her." I nod and head upstairs. 

    I find Moana in her room, sitting solemnly on her bed. "Moana, can we talk?" She sighs exasperatedly. "What is there to talk about Maui? You made everything pretty clear last night." I wheel closer to her and silently plead for her to grab my hands. Moana grabs them and squeezes them. I gaze deeply into her eyes. "Moana, I'm so sorry for what I said last night. I thought I meant what I said, but I didn't. I still have so much of my life to live and I want to live it with you. I love you so much. I realized that despite the shitty cards I was dealt, I was dealt one great one, that being you. Please forgive me for being such a dumbass. I tend to be one quite often." Moana laughs sadly. "Yeah I noticed." I wince, but nod in agreement. I deserved that. A couple of minutes of silence goes by before Moana speaks again. "I forgive you Maui." I look at her in shock. "You do?" "I do." She climbs into my lap and wraps her arms around my neck. "Why?" Moana pecks me on the lips, which I gladly return. "Because I love you too and I want to spend all my days with you." 

    "Let's just move past this. We had an amazing trip as a whole and I want to remember it as just that. Does that sound good Moana?" "No." I frown. Moana giggles. "You didn't let me finish. I was going to say that sounds great." I chuckle. "So you're stealing my lines now?" She winks. "Maybe." I smile. "They suit you." She smiles back and we dive into one another kiss. 

Hoped that you guys liked this one shot! I told you it was going to be my longest one yet. :) -Mary
