An Ageless Love (Maui x Tamatoa Fanfic)

I'm Not Worth It

I'm Not Worth It

Chapter 86

Maui's POV

  After what feels like forever, Tama and I stare at one another with puffy, red, and swollen eyes. I don't think either us have cried this much since when Moana committed suicide and the duration of time that she was dead. I've tried to open my mouth to speak but I keep finding myself having no voice to talk with. It's probably due to the high doses of chemo and medication in my system. I know it helps to make me better in the long run, but it also makes me weak for the time being. I look at Tama and mouth "I'm sorry." He gasps. "What do you have to be sorry for Maui? You've done nothing wrong. You didn't ask to become this sick." I sigh and bite my lip. I make all sorts of random hand gestures that only Tama would be able to understand. 

  As expected, Tama understands every word of what I'm trying to say with my random hand gestures. "Babe, you need to relax a bit. I'm worried that on top of the cancer treatments, you're going to stress your heart out so much that you'll either have a heart attack and/or stroke. I can't lose you Maui. You know that I need you here with me." Just when I didn't think I had any more tears in me, one slips down my cheek. Tama wipes it away carefully with one of this claws. "Baby, please be strong. You're going to be okay. It's going to be a long recovery, but Mo, her parents, and I are here for you. I'm not going to leave your side for a second. As for Mo, she's on her way here now. I promised her that she could see you for a bit. Is that okay?" I nod. A small smile tugs at his lips. "Good." 

Ten minutes later...

 Mo comes walking in looking rather distressed and sleep deprived. The poor girl. She's carrying two twin babies in her stomach, worrying about me, and running the island. I can tell that she's trying to be strong for my sake, but she looks on the verge of a mental breakdown. It pains me knowing that I'm contributing to it quite a bit. She sits at the edge of my bed, opposite Tama. She simply stares from him and I before burst into tears. Tama immediately pulls him to her chest and I have to look away, not being able to bear the sight of another person I love breaking down because of me. I should have fucking died. I can't stand Mo and Tama being so sad because of me. I'm no one special. I'm not worth shedding so many tears over. I know it's a horrible thing for me to say and I'm sure that in retrospect I don't really mean it, but right now, it's the only way I can think.
