An Ageless Love (Maui x Tamatoa Fanfic)

Working Things Out

Chapter 22

Moana's POV

 I can't believe that I'm a demigoddess now. To think that I just came back from the dead only to find out that I'm able to live forever. That's insanely awesome. Though at the same time, I feel a pang of sadness. My parents are eventually going to pass away like Grandma Tala did and I'm going to be left alone. Well not completely alone, but it feels that way to me. Maui and Tama have each other in terms of love. Who do I have? The ghosts of a past relationship that has ended I need to come to terms with. Just swell. Of course I've worried everyone enough as is so I'm going to feel keep my feelings to myself, at least for now. 

   Maui and Tama are talking amongst themselves while I volunteered to take over sailing for awhile. I know they haven't had any time to talk so I thought I'd give them some. Plus, I could use the alone time to think about a few things. Despite my nerves, I can't wait to see my parents. I've missed them so much. When we get back to Montonui, I'm going to focus more of my time with them than with Maui and Tama. They're my best friends and I'd never neglect them completely, but I feel as though that by not clinging on them every second, I'll finally be able to get over Maui... for real this time. 

Tamatoa's POV

  Maui and I have been chatting for hours while Moana's been sailing and gazing off at the horizon. I decide to go over and talk to her. I've been meaning to for awhile now, but I've only just gathered my thoughts. I tell Maui I'll be right back and go over to Moana. "Hey Moana, do you have a minute?" She nods. "I'll keep this as short as I can because I know how exhausted you are. I just wanted to properly say that I'm sorry, for anything and everything that I've done. I know that you and Maui are both too kind to admit it, but I've caused a lot of tension between the three of us, especially you and Maui. I also want to make sure you're okay. I know I tried to kill you several times in the past, but I vow on my life I'm not that creature... man anymore. I really would like to be friends, that is if you will allow us to be." 

   Moana extends her hands out for me to take. "Tama, I'm sorry for being so hung up on Maui. It's just we were together for a year and he was my first love. It's hard for a girl to get over her first love, especially when it's someone who means the world to her and changed her life forever. I need to be honest and tell you that I do need some more time and space, but eventually, I'd love to be your friend." I look at her in shock. "Really?" She nods with a sincere smile. "Really." Moana tries to steady herself up, but I can tell she can't stand nor stay awake much longer. "Moana, why don't you get some rest? I'll take over." "Are you sure Tama?" I nod. "I'm positive. Now sleep." She sighs but makes her way over to another corner of the boat, lies down, and is out like a light.  I mouth to Maui that I'm taking over sailing for a bit. He comes over and sits down beside me, talking to me about various subjects to keep me awake and alert. 

    As Maui yammers on, I smile to myself. Not only do I have the most amazing boyfriend in the world, but I also had a real heart to heart with Moana. Moana was also brought back to life by Te Fiti today. I think today was a pretty good day if you asked me.
