Heading To My Island

Heading To My Island

Chapter 55

Maui's POV

That night...

  I've been sailing all day and I'm exhausted. I think Tama can sense it because he keeps asking me to let him take over sailing a few hours. I wave off his concern for awhile until finally I nearly stumble off the boat and into the ocean. Taking that as a true sign that I need sleep, I let Tama take over sailing for a few hours. I lie down next to where he's standing, adjust myself as comfortably as possible, and fall right asleep. 

About six hours later...

  I wake up feeling much more refreshed and full of energy. Though as I get up, I see that Tama's now quite exhausted. I chuckle to myself and gently carry him over to my former sleeping spot and set him down. He protests repeatedly but excepts defeat as sleep takes over him. As I sail, I watch Tama sleep. Tama's handsome when he's awake, but he's just downright adorable when he's asleep. His eyes flutter whenever he's dreaming and his dimple pops out if he's having a happy dream, which he seems to be right now. My heart melts. I'm so happy that Tama's having pleasant dreams rather than nightmares. Sometimes, like myself, he sweats like crazy when he sleeps and wakes up screaming at the top of his lungs. It's terrifying and heartbreaking every time. Even though Tama and I have moved forward in many ways, our demons still find a way to haunt us from time to time. 

Three hours later...

   Tama slowly wakes up feeling much more refreshed and alert as well. I'm glad that he got some sleep, but I'm really glad he's awake. I really want to talk with Tama since between the two of us, both of us have been asleep for nine hours. Tama reaches out for my hands and I gladly take them in mine. "Listen Maui, I know that you've had some dark times on your island, but it means the world to me that you're ready to share your early life with me. I love you so much. I want to know all of you, even the darkest parts. Your story is what makes you the wonderful man you are." I press my forehead against his and close my eyes. "I love you even more Tama. Thank you for sticking by my side for all of this time. Most people usually leave as soon as things grow dark." Tama laughs softly. "Well you and I happen to know that I'm not most people." I laugh softly as well. "No you're not, you're better." Tama stares deeply into my soul with nothing but love as he moves closer to me. I press my lips to his and give him a gentle kiss. This kiss isn't as sexual as most, but it still means just as much, if not more than the rest.
