Maui climbed into the boat with her Moana and together they pointed the boat toward Motunui and now they say there awkwardly.

Neither one knew exactly what to say. But he noticed as the sun went down that Moana looked exhausted and in need of sleep.

"Hey Moana if you need a quick rest I can keep an eye on the boat and keep us on course." He offered quietly.

Truth was as much as she looked like she needed sleep he loved watching her when she was asleep.

She threw him a skeptical glance "real Wayfinder never sleep." Moana pointed out.

Maui laughed as she threw his own words back at him.

"It's amazing how you remember me telling you that three years ago." He teased.

She shrugged and yawned she was exhausted.

Laying down on the boat she quickly falls asleep.

Maui kept watch over the course of the boat from time to time but mostly his eyes were on the sleeping form of Moana.

He closed his eyes watching her noticing how she shivered.

There was no blanket to cover her with, he played with the idea of laying next to her and lending her his body heat but worried she'd get the wrong idea.

Maui knew he had feelings for Moana, he had the changes desire to protect her from her.

Keeping her safe and Happy had first started when Moana had almost gotten eaten by Tomatoa.

But now she lay shivering with cold she'll probably catch cold if something isn't done.

Throwing caution to the wind he moved to Moana's side and lay down beside her.

Taking her into his arms he held her and slowly felt her shivering start to cease.

But he couldn't deny that having her in his strong arms felt somehow good, almost right. He thought.

"But it shouldn't you have no right to enjoy this, she's not for a Demigod." He tried to tell himself.

Maui felt her snuggle closer to his warm body, and despite the fact he was supposed to be keeping watch the feel of her warm body against his soon put him to sleep.

As he lay cuddled up with Moana asleep the boat slowly began to drift off course way off course.

It wasn't until they ran into something hard that Moana woke up to find that she was being held by Maui and that they had run adrift.

Maui on the other hand was snoring like a bear.

Moana hit him over the chest "Maui wake up, what happened?" She asked.maui turned and stared in shock.

The boat had somehow drifted toward Lalotai.

Maui sprang forward grabbing an oar and quickly got the boat moving fast away from the Island and the dangerous bottom feeder that lay down their.

Back on course he collapsed with relief before shame settled in.

"I'm sorry princess. I let you down. I thought I was being a friend when I decided to lay down and give you my body heat. I fell asleep and almost got us killed." He had his head in his head unable to look her in the face.

"But Maui, it's not your fault. Your body heat was needed, and falling asleep you were probably tired you weren't sleeping much on That Island were you?" She whispered.

"No I wasn't." Maui agreed.

"Then understable at least we fixed it and we are going home." She told him kindly.

Maui returned his attention to checking the course and setting it right.

He still felt stupid and tried to put his attention into making sure it didn't happen again.
