An Ageless Love (Maui x Tamatoa Fanfic)

Terrified

Terrified

Chapter 84

Moana's POV

  I notice a very sullen looking Maui and Tamatoa heading towards me. Tama looks like he's going to burst into tears at any given moment and Maui looks the same, though he's clutching his head and wincing. "Maui, Tama, what's wrong?" Tama steps forward. "I'll do the talking for the two us right now because Maui's not doing so good." I frown. "What's wrong with Maui?" A tear slips down Tama's cheek but neither one of us wipes it away. "Maui has cancer Mo. There's a severe brain tumor in his head and he has to go to the doctor's tomorrow to hopefully get it all removed. He'll be in the hospital for at least a few weeks minimum." I gasp and look at Maui who's staring at me with tears in his eyes. "I-I'm scared Mo. I don't want to die." I burst into tears and pull him close to me. I hold him tight as if it's life or death, which it easily could be. "I love you Maui. Don't you dare die on me."

   Maui sighs sadly. "I'll do my best Mo. I love you too." We're so caught up in our moment that we don't even notice Tama fall to his knees, sobbing uncontrollably. I bend down along with Maui and the three of us hold each other, all of us being an emotional mess. When we're finally done sobbing our hearts out, we pull apart and gaze at one another fondly. We try to stay positive, but I think all of us are thinking the same thing. Our demons are coming out to play and consuming us with the potential thought of this being the beginning of the end. In other words, this could easily be the last time that we see Maui alive and that scares the hell out of Tama and I.

Maui's POV

  I'm terrified, absolutely terrified. I have a homing beacon of death in my head that could explode and kill me at any given moment. There's also the fact that if it explodes and kills me, I won't be able to come back from it. My brain tumor is very severe and the doctor's not even a hundred percent sure she'll be able to get it all out. God I hope she gets it all out. I've never been sick like this before and I don't like it. I have a family that I love more than anything and need to be around for.

      Please don't let me die. I'll do anything it takes to ensure that I live, even if it means suffering through chemo and other treatments, making me lose my beautiful hair. That's another thing that scares me. I'm probably going to look like death and I'm worried that Mo and Tama won't want to see me. They'll think that I look like a repulsive monster and won't want anything to do with me for a long time. I lie down in bed and cry myself to sleep. The last thing I feel is Tama's head on my chest as I have a night full of nightmares.

Hoped that you guys liked this chapter! I'm at work still so I had access to a computer for a bit and was able to post an update on this fanfic, though I'm not entirely sure I'll be able to update my original. I'm leaving pretty soon.
