An Ageless Love (Maui x Tamatoa Fanfic)

Saving Moana

Saving Moana

Chapter 20

A few days later...

Te Fiti's POV

  I've been in a long slumber but I wake up as I hear someone heading towards me. I slowly open my eyes, adjusting to my sight and to my surroundings as I see Maui with Moana in his arms. I frown as I realize that she's not awake. When Maui gets closer, he looks at me with tears in his eyes, silently telling me that Moana is dead. "Te Fiti, I hate bothering you for favors, but I was hoping you could help me bring Moana back to life. She committed suicide a few days ago." He bursts into tears and I pull him towards me, giving him a gentle hug. "I-I miss her so much Te Fiti. I need her in my life." A tear slips down my cheek but I don't wipe it away. Instead, I give Maui a small nod and work my magic. 

  I motion for Maui to place her body in the palm of my hand and he does. From there, I begin the healing process, which takes about ten minutes to complete. When it's done, Moana's eyes begin to flutter open. Maui and I look at her in shock before he picks her up in his arms and hugs her tightly. She then looks at me, smiles genuinely, and presses her forehead to mine. In addition to healing her, I also made Moana a demigoddess, though I want her to figure it out on her own and/or with the help of Maui. It's more fun that way. Moana deserves it though. She's the only mortal I've ever met that's worthy of the title. She lingers for a moment before heading down to the shore with Maui. I watch them leave fondly before returning to my usual slumber.

Moana's POV

 Maui leads me down to the shore where Tama is waiting for us on a boat. I look at both of them in confusion before hanging my head down in shame. They both probably know that I committed suicide. "I'm sorry Maui and Tama." "No, we are" they say in unison. "You guys didn't do anything wrong, I did. I committed suicide because I'm a coward and couldn't face the fact that you two are together. I need to get over it and accept it already. I don't want to lose my best friend and hopefully new friend because of my stupid feelings." Maui puts an arm around me and use the other to cup my face, getting me to look him right in the eyes. "Moana, you're not a coward. I treated you like complete and utter shit. I wasn't the boyfriend and best friend you deserved. The truth is you and Tama both deserve better than me. I promise that this time around, I'm going to treat you so much better and be the best friend I should have been before. As for your feelings, they'll get better over time. I'm not going to lie to you and Tama, I still have some lingering feelings for you Mo."

   Tama looks at him sadly while I look at him in shock. Tama and I then look at each other quickly and look back at Maui. Neither one of us knows how to respond to that. We simply stand in silence for a few minutes before I break it. "Maui, as much as I want to be with you in a romantic sense, I simply can't. As you said yourself, you've moved on. You're with Tama now and I know how much he loves you as well as how much you love him. I don't want to get in way of a love like that." Tama puts a hand on my shoulder and continues to gaze at Maui. "Maui, Moana needs you now more than ever and vice versa. She just came back from the dead. All of this stemmed because of me. I think that I need to get out of the picture for awhile." 

    Tama turns away but I yank him back over to me. "No Tama, you're not leaving. Believe it or not, I need both of you. Me killing myself is neither of your faults. I have a history of suicide attempts and self harm. I've had it long before I met either of you. So please, don't blame yourselves anymore. I can see that you're both just as tired and stressed as I am." The three of us then collapse onto the boat out of exhaustion without another word being said and sail back to Montonui.
