An Ageless Love (Maui x Tamatoa Fanfic)

Come Back To Me, Okay?

Come Back To Me, Okay?

Chapter 5

Maui's POV

The next day...

  I stayed up all night last night thinking about my moment with Moana as well as my feelings for Tamatoa and I've decided that I need to go see Tamatoa. Regardless of whether or not romance blossoms between the two of us, I want to get an answer as to why I feel the way I do for him. Sure he's not as bad as he used to be, but he's done a lot of evil acts. I mean I have a dark past, but the things he has done are far worse than anything I've ever done. The only truly evil thing I did was steal the heart of Te Fiti. I never hate anyone like let's say my Grandma. 

   I go to Moana's hut and knock on it a few times before she answers sleepily. Even though I've lost most of my romantic feelings for her, she's still the most beautiful girl I've ever come across. "W-what's up Maui?" I shift from foot to foot nervously. "I-I just needed to tell you that I'm going away for a little while to take care of some business but I promise I'll be back soon." I turn to leave and Moana's arm grabs me rather roughly, pulling me right into her hut. "NO MAUI! YOU DON'T GET TO PUT ME THROUGH SUCH HORRIBLE PAIN AND THEN LEAVE LIKE IT'S NO BIG DEAL. I DESERVE TO AT LEAST KNOW WHY YOU'RE LEAVING AND WHERE YOU'RE LEAVING TO." I try my best to control my dreaded temper. "Moana, please try to understand. You and I both know we need a little space from another to figure things out. I'm not going away forever. I'll be gone at most a month or two." 

   Moana's angry expressions turns into a sad one and once again, I can feel my heart crumble. I've depressed Moana so much since I broke up with her. I'm honestly a little scared that she might try to hurt herself while I'm gone. I'm even more worried she might self harm if I come back to Montonui with Tamatoa and showcase our relationship in front of her very eyes. I vow that if Tamatoa and I end up becoming a couple, I will do my best not to flaunt our relationship in Moana's face. She's my best and only friend and I don't want to hurt her anymore than I already have. That's why I think some time away will be good for the both of us. 

   "I can't say I'm not pissed at you Maui, but I do think that we need some space too. I need to try and move on. Having you around everyday doesn't have speed up the process. In fact, having you around constantly only prolong it. Do whatever you have to do, but please come back to me." She gazes deeply into my eyes and I do the same. "I promise that I'll come back." I pull her body gently towards me and hug her with all of the strength I can muster up right now. "Stay safe my little flower." Moana pulls my face towards her and kisses me on the cheek. "Stay safe too Maui." I blush slightly, give her one last look of longing, shift into hawk form, and start flying to Lalatoi.
