The farther Maui got from Hina's island, the madder he got. He could see her in the sky, she had her eyes on him, waiting to see if he turned back to steal her water, which he fully intended to do, because he was a trickster, and stealing from the gods was his specialty.
"What right does she have to that little bathtub? All she does is bathe and whine, no wonder she hasn't gotten over me and moved on." Maui exclaimed. He waited for a cloud for cover and circled back, lowering himself into the water as he turned into a swordfish and swam off in the direction of her island.
When Maui reached the shores of the island he quickly changed into a green lizard and scurried through the leaves and ferns, then went up the path as fast as his lizard legs could carry him. He reached the luminescent pool no problem, but paused when he realized his predicament.
He thought for a moment. "How am I going to get it to her without a boat?" Mini Maui looked at him and shrugged. "Well, I guess I could bring Moana here and throw her in, maybe she would have to actually swim in this water, since it isn't the ocean." Mini Maui pinched him. He looked down and Mini Maui had transformed into a pelican. "That's it! Hey, you are useful for something sometimes." He felt his skin being pinched as pelican mini maui bit him. Maui flicked him down to his buttocks. "Well if you're going to be a pain in my ass, then you can be one, literally."
The demigod swung his fishhook and morphed into a pelican. He scooped a gracious amount of water into his beak and flew off into the night once again. He flew slowly until he hit the water and became a whale, he would reach Motunui in no time that way.
When he reached the beach of his chosen home island he grabbed the shell of a coconut, cracked it open, and dumped the contents onto the sand. He spat the water out of the coconut, marvelling at his own ingenuity. "Some girls get flowers, my girl gets magic spit." He laughed at the irony.
"Honeyyyyy, I'm hommeee!" He yelled, knowing Moana would know who it was, he had a very distinctive, manly, beautiful voice if he did say so himself.
It was relatively late in the afternoon, so there were a couple of "Shut up"'s echoing around the village, but he could hear the sound of Nani's children running up to greet them, Moana was right in front, they all wore smiles on their faces, but Moana's shone the brightest. She tackled him in a big hug. "Don't you ever leave me again, you old scoundrel." She put her face in his neck and sighed. "I was only gone for like, a couple of hours, give me a break, sweetheart."
Maui decided this was his chance. He wanted to give her the water, but he wasn't sure what she would say, she often put the wellbeing of her family and village in front of her own. So, he just threw it on her, hoping it would work.
Immediately, Moana released him. "Ocean, what the hell?" She wiped the water out of her eyes and shook her head, trying to get the stuff off of her hair.. She looked down at her hands, the bluish white water was definitely not normal, this was Maui's doing, not the ocean playing one of its usual tricks. Then she noticed her hands, they were smooth. There were no calluses, no wrinkles. She looked around her and realized her vision was sharper.
"Maui, what did you do?" Even her voice was different. She looked at the demigod, who was looking at her with a grin of sly satisfaction.
"You're welcome." He said, full of himself.
"Maui, what did you do?" Sina, who had followed them down there, interjected angrily. "She's become younger, what kind of spell is this?"
Maui looked crestfallen. "I snuck over to Hina's moon pool and got her some of the water because I love her and don't want her to die, alright? Is that so bad? I didn't know exactly what it would do."
Sina put her hands on her hips. "Maui, what if Hina comes after us? You of all people should know not to mess with her!"
Moana gave her mother a knowing look, as worried as she was, this was a conversation Moana had to have alone. Even though she had called her mother off, she wasn't letting Maui off the magical fishhook. "Maui, you should know by now that stealing from goddesses is never a good idea! I'm not dying right now."
Sina shooed the rest of the family away, it was about to get juicy, and though Motunui was very open sexually, some things between a man and a woman were supposed to remain so.
Maui grabbed her arms and looked dead into her eyes. "But you will Moana, I'm immortal, to me, the time we've spent together, the time we have left, is what a couple months is to you. I can't bear to lose you, you're human, you have the benefit of a small existence." He cupped her face as if they were all alone. "But I have to live forever without you, and that's one monster that I don't want to face."
Moana turned her face to his hand and sniffled. "That doesn't mean that you get to decide whether I live or die, Maui."
With that, Maui let her go, stomped down the beach and got on a boat. Moana could tell by the way he moved he was angry.
"What's with you damn humans? Nothing I do is ever enough." He was rigging up the canoe, he was leaving in his anger. "Not even for you, and you lo-"
Moana grabbed his hands and he immediately shut up.
"Thank you Maui, for being so good to me." She gave him a quick peck on the lips and helped him get the boat in the water. "Let's go for a ride, Maui." his anger dissipated with her kiss.
They sailed around the island to a beach they had gone to many times before, it was their little private spot, they surfed there, had bonfires, and mini hulas when they wanted to get away from the world but didn't want to deal with the danger of sailing. They quickly built a fire. And sat down next to each other, their legs close enough to touch.
"Moana, did you get a new tattoo?" He exclaimed.
Moana blushed and moved her hair out of the way to show him the hawk. "Yeah, I figured I would get a tattoo of what I want to come back as, I want to be a hawk and fly with you once I'm gone."
Maui puffed out his chest. "If you would let me have my way, you wouldn't ever die at all."
"Maui" Moana said, "Promise me that no matter what happens, you won't go to Hine-nui-te-po." She let her hair fall in her face, she was solemn and the air was heavy around them.
Maui glanced at her. "How did you know about that?"
"I heard the legend from Poto, the medicine man."
Maui laughed nervously. "That's the problem with being an awesomely amazing hero, nothing is secret." He ran his hands over his fish hook. "I love you Moana, I can't promise that I won't go, but I won't go right now, and I'll tell you first so you can try to stop me. Deal?
Moana figured that that was as much as he would budge on the subject. "Deal."
He put his massive hand on her back and traced the outlines of the children surrounding the pair. "So what's with all the kids?" He chuckled. "Was that planned or was that something he threw in without your approval?" Her skin was hot from the fire, he admired the way that the dancing embers made the tattoo come alive on her brown skin.
Moana blushed again. "I didn't know it was there until someone else told me. Do you like it?" She sheepishly asked as she turned around to face him.
This time, Maui was the one blushing. "I love it, Mo, but you don't have to be a hawk to fly beside of me, I'll make sure you stay here in your perfectly fine puny human form, but I wouldn't mind the kid part coming true, would you? As long as they had your face." He put his hand on her thigh and looked at her imploringly.
Moana looked down. She knew she shouldn't do this, what if she did get a disease or something and Maui went to Hine-nui-te-po and died? She couldn't live with herself. She knew that this whole moon water thing would give her youth, but not immortality, Hina was a god, she didn't die, she used the bath for beauty's sake. But Maui's hands on her felt so right, he just sparked a fire in her that nobody else could, he made her laugh and scream and cry, he was sunshine in human form. Hine-nui-te-po could wait a long, long time. As long as she wasn't in any danger, Maui wouldn't go to her, right? She really had nothing to worry about.
FInally she looked up into his deep brown eyes. "Maui" She started to say something but then he kissed her and she forgot it. All at once they were clinging to each other. He ran his hands up and down her body freely, marvelling in how round and perky her bottom was and how well it fit in his large hands, in how her waist dipped in like a bottom of a wave and unfurled into a wide set of hips, in how her skin felt under his lips. She ran her fingers through his hair and moaned as he sucked on her neck. "Maui" she breathed.
"Yes, love?" He whispered uncharacteristically breathy into her skin.
"Let's do this."
"Are you sure that's how far you'll go?" Maui grinned cheekily at her.
Moana playfully pushed him away. "If you are going to make fun of me then I'm not, I'm going home." She rose to leave.
"Nope" Maui said. He slung her up over his shoulder. "I'm sorry princess, I didn't mean to offend you." He said sarcastically. He laid her down on the grass and kissed her. "But" Kiss "I" kiss "Really" kiss "Don't think you want to leave."
Moana moaned as he pulled away and yanked him back to her. "Maui, shapeshifter, demigod of the wind and sea, hero to all, you will make love to me right here and right now before I smash your head in with an oar."
Maui grinned from ear to ear as he got undressed. "What can I say except 'yes please'?" he sang as he kissed her again.
Well, that was the sluttiest scene I've ever written, and I love it., I decided not to continue though because, well, that would be weird It's loosely based on real life experiences, my s.o. Is a lot like Maui in a lot of ways so I imagined that it would go down similar to our lives. Anyway I will be taking a break for a few days for school stuff, but I promise to keep writing! Thanks for all of your lovely reviews! XOXO
