One Shots: Maui x Moana

My Secret Talent Part 2

Moana's P.O.V

"What is it?" Maui asks.

"It's something important to me!" I say as I try to grab the paper.

"It looks like a song." Maui says.

"Yes it is. I wrote that after my Gramma passed away." I say. Maui looks at me and hands me the paper.

"I'm sorry." He says. I gently take the paper and put it in my folder.

"Its fine." I way looking at him.

"But about what I asked you earlier, you interested?" He asks. A duet! With your crush?! Red light! RED LIGHT! Don't you dare agree. He can read you like an open book. I open my mouth but no words come out.

"It's fine if you don't! And I won't be mad if you say no!" Maui says kindly.

"I'd love to sing with you but...I'm just not as good as you think I am." I say looking down at my lap. Two hands appear and grab mine. I look up and Maui looks serious.

"I think your amazing. And aren't you top of your class in choir?" He asks. I look at our hands and then back at Maui.

"I am but I just don't want to screw you up at the show." I say looking away from him.

"Do you really think that?" He says. I nod still not looking at him.

"Look at me." He says. I turn my head and look at our hands. One hand releases my hand and places it under my chin. I slowly look up and I see Maui smiling.

"Why on Earth...would you think that?" He asks. I avert his eyes for a minute and then look him straight in the eye.

"Because...because it could happen. And besides...I've been practicing this song for my Gramma. Its her favorite and so i thought I would sing it in the show. And I think its too late to ask the choir teachers for making us a duet." I say.

"So is that a no?" He asks.

I look at him and give him a sad look.

"Yes. I cannot sing with you. Even if I wanted to. I was going to say yes but I think we're a little late. The show is three days away." I say. Maui chuckles and nods.

"Yeah...guess that slipped my mind. But I will think of you when I preform." He says. I blink and blush.

"W-why me?" I ask. He laughs and shakes his head.

"Because you are pretty talented and special Moana. At least I think you are." He says looking at me with a twinkle in his eye.

I smile and he nods.

"There we go! I think this the first time I've seen your real smile. It's very attractive." He says with a wink. I flush a bright pink. Wait a minute! Did he just call you attractive?! Ok! Now we're getting somewhere! He's flirting with you girl! I think. I shake the thought out of my head. I clear my throat to stop the blushing.

"Thank you." I say. He smiles and I feel the space between us start to close. I stand up and laugh nervously.

"I gotta go!" I say. Maui looks at me curiously.
