Who’s Taking Care of You?

Warning: Angst, smut, Shuri being sad and not taking care of herself, Reader coming in to make her feel better.

PS: This is set after the Battle with Namor.

I walked into the lab and Griot notified Shuri who barely even glanced at me. I walked closer to her and saw that she was still working on an experiment. She frowned as she looked at it with her shoulders squared and brows pinched together.

“Queen Shuri,” I said

“I thought you left,” she said without even looking at me as I walked up in front of her looking down at what she was working on

“I thought you did too,” I said looking at it as well, “how have you been doing with it,”

“ I don’t know what wrong with the stubborn thing, the calculations are right, griot looked over them, I just don’t know what’s missing,” she mumbled and then went to pull up a hologram .

She stopped infront of me and I raised an eyebrow and she sighed .

“You’re in my way,” she said.

“How long have you been at this,”

She shrugged then moved the hologram facing to the side as she looked at it .

I sighed and looked around the lab. It used to hold a feeling of warmth and now it seemed as if everything was just here. No exchanges of laughter or bickering between the scientists, everyone seemed to be walking on eggshells, even with just the two of us here now the feeling was still distant.

“Shuri take a break,” I said putting it bluntly and she just focused in the hologram.

“I can’t,”

“Why not,”

“Because,”

“Because what,”

She took a deep breath and I knew she was irritated.

“Wakanda still needs protection and as the ruler I need to do that, the black panther protects Wakanda and that what I also intend to do,”

“The black panther rests too,”

She went to say something but I cut her off.

“ That brilliant mind if your also needs rest and you barely do that,”

She glanced at me and moved to the table and I sighed again seeing that it was getting no where .

“I’m sure you have other things to do than be in the lab right now right ,” she said voice stern and it left no room for me to disagree. Meaning the discussion was over.

I took that as my cue to leave .

I made my way to the door and thought about it,” you always talk about taking care of Wakanda , but who’s taking care of you?”

Shuri’s back tense even more .

“Goodnight Shuri,” I said and left.

“Good night Y/n” she whispered, rethinking her words over and over and that’s all she could think about as she looked down at the notes . She ran her hand down her face and sighed hating how right the girl was. She needed sleep, a meal, and Bast only knows what else.

Shuri told Griot to cut the lights off in the lab and she went to her room.

She hated the way the words were still ringing in her head and how relaxed her body became when she got in the bed. No energy to even get out of her clothes she fell into a deep sleep.

Shuri woke up around 3 pm which was a surprise to everyone but not y/n. She counted the times she saw Shuri in the lab after everyone had left and saw how she was still in the clothes from the day before as she worked in other experiments.

After that she would skip out on breakfast or dinner and change into her suit and take on the duty of the panther. The herb increased her senses and durability and she didn’t need sleep like she used to but that doesn’t mean the work and added stress didn’t take a toll on her.

She did however curse herself when she realized how late it had gotten , she took a shower and after that she opted to go back to bed. She had put on her clothes then groaned as she looked at the bed. Sleep was calling her and she hated it , again the words of y/n in her head. She didn’t take care of herself, always putting others first since the battle even before then, she resisted the urge to go back to sleep and moved to the lab.

Her limbs moved slower and the Dora was able to catch up with her for the first time . She made it to the lab and got to work. She didn’t get much done occasionally dissociating only for one of the scientists to bring her back to the conversation. She did make progress on the project. It didn't work like she wanted but the fact that she made progress was enough.

She was then knocked back to reality at the sound of y/n talking.

“I’m sorry what did you say,” she said and y/n looked over her state. She looked at the dark circles and droopy eyes, and the way she was hunched over .

“I said I have the equipment ready ,” she said as her eyes moved over Shuri again, and said girl barely paid attention to it .

She followed y/n to the other side of the lab and Shuri nodded as she looked at it.

“When did you finish it,” Shuri said moving her hand along the design of the suit.

“This morning,” she said and Shuri cleared her throat.

“Excellent work, I’ll have griot put it along the projector,” y/n nodded and smiled at the compliment, but she still didn’t like seeing Shuri in this state.

The day had ended fast and Shuri was determined to finish her project. Everyone had left and she didn’t miss the way y/n had looked before she headed out the door. She didn’t want the pity or the sympathy , she had a duty to fill and that’s what mattered.

She wasn’t sure how much time had passed but she soon felt her chest tighten. She rubbed it and continued to read , her head started to hurt and she closed her eyes feeling the spot where it had started. She heard Griot say something before she fell.

Y/n was in her house that was not far from the castle when her kimoyo beads went off.

“Griot what’s wrong,” she said noticing that it was Shuri’s contact but she didn’t hear her voice.

“You are needed in the lab, it's an emergency,” Griot said, voice rushed but far from panicked. She cursed under her breath and put her shoes on and grabbed a jacket. She got into her car and sped to the palace. Upon arriving at the lab she noticed the Dora were not at the door .

I opened the door to the lab and called for Shuri and I received no answer. As I made it fully into the lab I saw Shuri on the floor but she was getting help by one of the robots.

“Shuri ”I said in panic and I lifted her head up.

I took my beads off and placed them on her chest.

“Griot what happened,what is going on?”

I looked at the beads to see that her heart rate was slower than usual but she did have a pulse.

“Queen Shuri is suffering from dehydration, lack of sleep, and stress. Her body is weak and she will need assistance right away.”

“Where is the herb,” I said the panic causing my voice to rise. He told me where the herb was and I lifted her up as the robot went to get it.

I placed her on the table with the help of her bots and I grounded the herb. I opened her mouth and poured half of it in not wanting her to go into cardiac arrest.

“Cmon Shuri,” I said as I waited to see if she would wake up.

“Griot give me some water please ,” I said in disbelief when Shuri gasped. She started to panic and I told her to relax.

I grabbed the water and tried to give it to her but she moved it .

“Shuri you need to drink something ,” I said

“I just did,” she said, still out of it .

I scoffed at her.

“Griot what happened,” she said voice scratchy and I bet she wished she had gotten that drink. I watched her face turn up and she rubbed her throat looking at the water but she didn’t move to get it.

“You are dehydrated, “

“I asked Griot,”

“You are dehydrated and your body was not able to handle the stress and lack of sleep,”

I watched as she let out a shaky breath.

“What progress has the project made,” she said going to stand.

“Are You crazy,” I said putting my hands on my hip

“ you need to rest , you were two minutes away from-“

“I’m fine now, you may leave,” she said and I looked up at the ceiling feeling myself grow frustrated at how stubborn she was.

“Are you really this stupid Shuri,” I said shaking my head, ignoring the fact that I could be banned for the way I am talking to her.

“Excuse me,” she said in disbelief, her eyes narrowing onto mine

“You heard me, I get it ok you need to protect Wakanda you have to do your duty but what if this happens again and nobody is here to help you,”

“LEAVE NOW,” she shouted at me, “ You wouldn’t understand what it’s like, you wouldn’t get any of this, “ she said in a calm voice as she reached for the glass of water.

“ You know what the next time something like this happens don’t call me ok let someone else deal with this bullshit , I’m done,” I said and I felt my cheeks get wet with tears and I wanted to slap myself for even showing some emotion to the hell she had been putting me through.

I turned around and moved to walk out but She grabbed my hand. I refused to turn around and I felt her pull me close as she muttered apologies.

“Let me go Shuri,” she still held me and tried to get me to turn around.

“I wouldn’t understand this shit so let me go,” I said pushing her back from me.

“You don’t owe me an apology, you owe yourself one,” I said and she looked up at me with tired eyes. I turned around again and walked out the lab.

———————-

A knock on the door cause Y/n to sigh. She contemplated getting up and she looked at the time to see that it was almost 6 in the morning. She heard another knock that was softer than the first one and she groaned as she got up. She opened the door to see Shuri look like a kicked puppy. Her eyes were downcast and shoulders stiff as she stood. I leaned against the door waiting and contemplating letting her in.

“You told me to leave ,” I said, “so why shouldn’t I tell you the same thing?”

She bit her lip, eyes still downcast.

I sighed,” Shuri what do you want,” I said tired of the back and forth and the distance and not knowing what’s going on in her head.

“ I’m sorry I -“ she cut herself off and I noticed her eyes were starting to water.

she fiddled with her hands.

“The other night you - you wanted to know who was taking care of me,” she said and she took a shaky breath.

“No one is ,” I finished and she looked back to the ground the tears falling and it broke me.

This was not the same Shuri who fought Namor or took over as queen and the panther. This was Shuri, the young scientist who used to scoff at tradition who used to laugh at the videos of her brother trying her experiments. This is the Shuri who watched her family leave her one by one with no one else to give her the family she needed. The love she needed.

“Shuri,” I said and she didn’t look up.

“Shuri,” I said with the same tone and I grabbed her jaw lifting her head and she leaned into it.

“Do you want me to take care of you,” I asked wiping the tears that were coming down.

She let out another shaky breath as she nodded.

“Please,”

She let out so weakly that I would have never heard it had I not stepped closer. I grabbed her hand and pulled her inside and closed the door behind me. Her head was down as she followed me.

I moved to my room and she looked around as if she had never been in here before.

I closed the door and walked up to her. She still had tears coming down and I rubbed her cheek. She leaned into it and sighed.

I moved my hand and moved to kneel, ignoring her curious gaze on me. I took her shoes off one by one.

I placed them along the wall and then I stood up and undid her pants .

She looked at me with wide eyes glistening from the light that shined through the curtains .

Her mouth was parted and my eyes remained on hers. I pulled them down and moved her legs so she could step out of them. I touched the shirt she was wearing .

“It’s fine,” she whispered voice slightly raspy.

I pulled it over her head and placed her clothes on the dresser. I felt her eyes track my every move and I turned and looked at her when I was done, taking in her presence. I let my eyes roam from head to toe and I noticed how muscular she had gotten and the tattoos that she added. She turned her head looking away from me and I came closer to her.

” Don’t do that,” I said turning her to face me

“Sorry,”

“You have nothing to be sorry about,”

She nodded and I grabbed her hand and moved my covers back and I sat in the bed and scooted over making room for her. She hesitated for a moment rubbing her hands nervously by her side.

“It’s ok,” I said and offered her my hand and she moved into the bed. I turned on my back and pulled her towards me. She widened her eyes and I smiled at her.

“Move down a bit,” I said and she did.

I pulled her down to lay on my chest and she froze for a moment . She layed between my legs and I wrapped my arms around her and she relaxed finally letting her shoulders fall.

After a moment of silence I felt my shirt get wet and I looked down to see her crying silently as her shoulders shook. I rubbed her hair and hugged her tighter and she squeezed me as well. I rubbed her shoulders slightly and she cried harder.

Her body shook as she started to sob into my shirt . She started to become incoherent as she did, I pulled her to me wanting to be closer if it was even possible.

“It’s ok let it out baby ,” I whispered to her, I moved my hand from her hair to wipe her tears and she whimpered .

“It’s ok,” I said rubbing her hair again not wanting to upset her anymore .

She sobbed for a long time before she moved up from my shirt and into the crook of my neck.

I rubbed from her hair to her nape and she let out a shaky breath. Soon we both fell asleep and I noticed that the light shined through indicating the new day.

I woke up and looked down to see Shuri still asleep,her lips were poked out and I smiled at her. I moved to get up without waking her but she gripped my body tighter so I opted to just stay still. She mumbled something and snuggled closer.

“Couldn’t hear you,” I said

“I don’t want to get up,” she said voice raspy and full of sleep.

“Too bad you need to eat something,” I said moving to sit up and she groaned pushing me back down with her body. I huffed and let out a laugh,” Shuri get off me.”

I said but my laughing didn’t help. She only shook her head and closed her eyes.

I huffed,” fine you win,” I said and wrapped my arms around her, she let out a yay and snuggled closer again.

When I woke up again we were still in the same position and I moved again this time without her pulling me in. I moved slowly not wanting to wake her and I looked at the time to see that we had slept the whole day away. I rolled my neck and made my way to my bathroom . I brushed my teeth and washed my face and I stretched feeling my body pop.

I made my way back to see Shuri moving closer to my side of the bed and I smiled at this seeing how relaxed she looked. I moved downstairs to cook dinner, seeing that breakfast was off the table. I frowned to myself wondering if Shuri had ever actually sat down to eat a full meal. I continued to cook and I saw a shadow out my peripheral and I looked up to see Shuri hesitate to step in the kitchen.

“Hi,” I said and she said it back with a shy smile on her face looking at the food on the table.

“It smells good in her,” she said and I said Thankyou.

She stood there for a moment,” well aren’t you gonna sit down,” I asked and she perked up as if she didn’t expect me to ask.

“Oh right of course yea,” i smiled at her hoping to break through whatever uncomfortable feeling she had. She sat across from me and prayed over her food as I did aswell.

“I didn’t realize I had slept so long,” she said as she had looked outside at the patio.

“It was well needed,you look a lot better,” I said and emphasized the word a lot and she smacked her lips at me .

“ But on a serious note,” I said and she looked over at me,” how do you feel?,”

She swallowed her food and looked at her plate and thought about it.

“ I feel better and I feel horrible for how I talked to you,” she then looked up at me.

“I had no right to talk to you like that ,” I went to say something only for her to stop me.

“No matter how I felt it was still wrong to take it out on you…y/n I’m sorry,” She said and I saw that she looked as if she was about to cry . I smiled at her and grabbed her hand,” it’s ok Shuri, I know we haven’t recovered from the battle and it’s going to take time, none of us have healed,” she nodded and I saw a tear roll down and she turned her face to wipe it.

“Hey,” I said and turned her towards me and her eyes were downcast .

“We’re going to get through this, I promise,” she let out a breath and nodded

“Say it,” she hesitated to look at me .

“We’re going to get through this,” she said looking at me and I smiled .

I stood up and kissed her forehead and when I pulled away she smiled as she opened her eyes.

“You know I can tell your itching to go to the lab,” I said and held my laughter in when her eyes went wide .

“I can go,”

“You don’t need my permission,” she stood up excited and I grabbed her hand.

“Don’t overwork yourself like last night,” she nodded and said she won’t .

I watched her go upstairs and I shook my head and grabbed our plates and proceeded to wash the dishes.

After I moment I felt arms wrap around my waist , I smiled when Shuri pulled me against her. She rested her head in the crook of my neck . She placed a soft kiss there then moved into my cheek.

“Thankyou,” she said swaying me slightly. I looked at the plates and smiled feeling shy.

“No need to thank me,”

“Nah I really do Thankyou,” she said trailing off into a whisper.

She turned my head to face her and she kissed me on my lips softly. I found myself leaning into her wanting to deepen the kiss that already had me weak, but she pulled away and smiled down at me.

She squeezed me one last time and I watched as she walked out of the door. Once the door closed I did a lil dance feeling all giddy .

—————————————

I was in the middle of reading my book outside on the patio enjoying how fresh everything looked in my garden before my kimoyo beads buzzed.

I furrowed my eyebrows then opened it to see Ayo who looked a bit distracted as her eyes looked everywhere but the screen

“Ayo is everything ok,” I asked, putting my book down and heading back inside.

“Sorry to bother you y/n , but Shuri seems a bit off today,”

“It’s no bother Ayo, but what do you mean,”

She sighed and moved away from wherever she was and I recognized that she was now in the halls of the palace.

“I think it’s better if you just come and see, “ with that she hung up and I sighed, rubbing my head.

I put on some more presentable clothes opting for my work shirt with regular jeans and I grabbed my keys before heading out the door.

The palace drive wasn’t far and since there was hardly anyone on the road it allowed me to be there quicker. I greeted the guards who were at the door and I quickly made my way to the lab already knowing she would be there.

It looked like everyone had rushed to leave, leaving the projectors on and devices on the station table .

I walked in some more and saw Ayo and I greeted her. She looked at me and it looked like she sighed in relief,” is everything alright,” I asked

and she shook her head.

“There was a meeting with the elders and Bast they didn’t hold back,”

She went to say more but I stopped her knowing I was to not be given information about the conference.

“Oh please y/n you need to know this,” she spoke up again, but was silenced by Shuri who came out of nowhere .

“She’s right she is to not be given any information, you know this Ayo,” her voice was hostile and I raised my eyebrows at her then glanced at Ayo who let out a breath.

“Yes panther I understand,” she said, voice tight and I could tell she had to deal with this since the meeting.

Shuri looked at me before she turned her back to us and went into her office.

“Uht uht,” I said, going to walk away but Ayo stopped me grabbing my hand.

“Listen we all know Wakanda hasn’t been the same since Namor , but she is more stubborn than ever and it’s obvious that the both of you have an understanding of each other and that she’ll listen to you before she listens to anyone else,” Ayo said looking me in the eyes and she kept her voice leveled.

I shook my head feeling like the scenario was repeating again and I was not her for the games.

“Y/n we both know it’s true,” she said, giving me a look and I wanted to laugh but I did not and only agreed with her.

“I will be with Aneka for border patrol but if you need anything please let us know,” she said and I nodded, smiling at her .

“I got it you all be careful on the patrol please,” I said and she gave my hands a squeeze before going outside the lab.

I turned my head to the office Shuri had been in and I had a feeling she had listened to the conversation. I made my way up the stairs and knocked on the door and I felt foolish knowing I wasn’t going to be given an answer.

I opened the door to see Shuri sitting at her desk looking down at a device as she looked through the projector.

“I didn’t tell you to come in,” she said with the same cold tone .

I rolled my eyes and moved to sit down and her eyes glanced at me for a second before going back to the projector.

“I didn’t tell you to sit either,”

“But I did anyway ,get over it,” I said and she let out a huff, rolling her eyes.

“You know Ayo was only trying to help, you didn’t have to-“

“Why are you here, “

I furrowed my brows at the tone again , she hadn’t talked to me like that before and it won’t be today.

“Watch your tone, you talk like that to them not me,” I said, holding her gaze and she gulped before looking back down at the projector .

“Who are you to talk to me like this,”

“Oh now you're offended,” I said crossing my arms

“You need to stop acting like a brat and listen when people are trying to help you?,”

She sat up and went to say something,” there you go trying to cut me off again. Shuri just shut the fuck up and listen, you can do that can’t you?” I asked and she deflated, eyes going wide and she looked away from me as she nodded.

“The elders still see you as a child even after you went through so much to become their protector so throwing temper tantrums everytime they say something won’t help your case”

“I'm not throwing a tantrum they just don’t understand and M’baku just,” she looked up at the ceiling and let out a breath .

“ What are you gonna do about it then,” I said and eyed the way her jaw clenched.

“Shuri,” I said keeping my voice leveled and I noticed her hand shake and she put down the device gripping them.

I reached for them and she moved back as if I was going to burn her.

She got up ,” why are you here,”

I rubbed my head seeing that we were back to square one.

“Shuri just listen,”

“No, that's all I’ve been doing ,” she said, getting in my face as she raised her voice.

I put my hand up to push her slightly back.

“How many times do I have to tell you to watch your tone with me,” I said and scoffed at her, moving around to go to the door.

“Where are you going,” she said in a rushed voice and I raised my brow at the way she said it.

“Thought you wanted me to leave,” I said and she lowered her gaze and her stance faltered slightly.

“You said you’ve been listening all day and yet you still don’t seem to understand,” I said tilting my head taking in her appearance. She was slick as ever.

“Shuri, I'm not in the mood for your games today, “ I stepped closer to her and her gaze lifted and she held mischief in her eyes.

And there it is.

“You will apologize to the workers and to Ayo for the way you’ve acted, do you understand,” and she looked at me as if I had the nerve.

“Let me finish,” I said, seeing her ready to talk.

I reached my hand up to the side of her neck and brought her closer to me, her head had to lean down slightly to match mine. I refrained from smiling when her gaze dropped down to my lips .

“All you wanted was some attention,” I said, humming and her eyes went back to mine a bit wide and she gulped again before breaking eye contact.

“You throw another tantrum like this again and you won’t need to deal with the elders again, “ I tightened my grip on her neck only slightly and she straightened up.

“Understood,” I said and she nodded and I gripped tighter this time and she let out a weak understood.

“Good,” I said smiling at her and stepped closer this time rubbing the back of her neck. The heat she radiated was the equivalent of how I felt just by standing this close to her. .

“Now go apologize and act right,” I said and kissed her cheek and she leaned in again her hands going to wrap around my waist but I pulled back and walked out of the office .

I went back to my car and drove back home feeling my heart beat as excitement coursed through me.

That was fun but it made me think a little deeper into what Shuri was doing. I understand being the panther and dealing with the elders are hell even if she saved Wakanda . I made it to my house and got in the shower with the way she acted still in my mind. Then it clicked .

“Ayo could you send me the footage of Shuri after the meeting,” I said to her after getting my kimoyo beads and she instantly sent them.

“Miss y/n” I looked up to my projector to see Ayo send me a look and she seemed like she was fighting a smirk.

“I do hope Shuri took the advice you gave her, “ I nodded at her and heard a small laugh in the background which could only be Aneka.

I watched the video and the whole time she seemed restless , giving orders and complaining. Her face was frustrated but her eyes were wild. I fast forward some and saw her fiddling with her beads before making a frustrated sound and putting them on the table while walking up to her office.

That answered my question and I hate that I didn't see it before . The way she waited to get a reaction or did something after everyone told her not to, it was so clear. I prepared dinner and I knew I didn’t have to ask Shuri since she would come anyway. After I fixed everything I placed the food upstairs and scrolled through the channels trying to find something to watch.

There was a soft knock at the door and I got up and went downstairs and opened it to be greeted by Shuri. I gave her a soft smile and moved to the side.

She hesitated to come in and when she did she stood there waiting for me.

“The food will be upstairs but get cleaned up before you eat” I said and took the jacket she had on and she nodded before going upstairs. I sighed, feeling nervous I had never really been in this type of situation before, let alone with a Queen.

I flipped through more channels as time passed and ate a little bit still not sure what to put on. I looked to the side to see her come out with a black muscle shirt and joggers and her hair was slightly wet .

I admired the tattoos that I could see and I turned back to the TV as she walked closer and sat down. I side eyed the amount of distance she put between us, but said nothing. I pulled my legs up and kept scrolling then I gave up,

“ What do you want to watch,” I asked and she pulled her head towards me and shrugged her shoulders looking timid.

“ It doesn’t matter to me,”

“ Well I can't find anything that interests me sooo,” I dragged out and looked at her again.

She put her fork down and cleared her throat,” Is The Woman King okay?”

I furrowed my eyebrows at how she asked and made a note of it,” of course,”.

I played the movie and settled in the warmth of my blanket and I looked at Shuri who still sat straight up eyeing the screen.

I sighed, “ Shuri, what's wrong?”

She glanced my way and said,”nothing.”

A bit too fast.

“Don't seem like nothing,” I mumbled.

“Well it is,” she said, her attention on me and I raised my brow at the change in attitude.

“Just asked a question,” I said , putting my hands up and she let out a breath before going to pick up our dishes and she put them in the sink. I looked at the way her muscles flexed and had to look away before she came back.

Finally she sat down this time a bit closer to me and she looked my way before going back to the screen.

“Are you mad at me,” she asked

“What,” I asked even though I heard and she sighed, finally looking at me.

“Are you mad at me because of earlier,” I smiled at what she said knowing it was something that had her so awkward.

“ No I'm not mad, why would I be?,” i asked turning fully toward her and she played with the blanket.

“I just-it's just that you seemed disappointed and then everyone else got caught up in my outburst too,” she said her gaze wavering

“I'm not disappointed in you and like i said it's a process, and you taking it out in others is something that needs to be worked on,”

She relaxed back against the couch.

“ I think I was able to get a better understanding of you,” I said and giggled at her face.

“What understanding,” she asked curiously

I shrugged,” You’ll found out soon,” i said

“Now that we’ve established that I'm not upset with you, can you relax, you look like you about to shit bricks,” she laughed at me then nodded and laid on top of me facing the movie.

I barely remember everyone's names but Izogie was in my memory. It was hard not to say anything when they showed up on screen, I heard Shuri huff after I made another remark.

“Y/n” she said rubbing my hand and I hummed my eyes not leaving the screen as I watched Izogie talk to the new warrior.

“Always obey Izogie,'' I repeated after her and squealed when she leaned down.

“Y/n i asked a question,” Shuri huffed out her hands no longer rubbing mine.

“Sorry can you repeat it,” i asked and she smacked her lips

“You could've heard it if you weren't too busy paying attention to izogie,” her voice hostile and i refrained from laughing

“Im sorry ok can you please repeat it,” i said

“Ok , i asked why do you like more Izogie or Nawi,”

“Both of them are fine as hell and I like the way izogie takes control,” I said and Shuri hummed as she furrowed her eyebrows at me.

“ What,” i asked turning my face up at the way she looked at me

“ Nothing,” she said going to lay back down

“ uht uht why you look at me like that,” i said and she shrugged.

“ Do you have a particular type,” she asked eyes on the screen looking at izogie

I looked at the screen also,” Izogie’s my type”

This time I laughed at the face she made.

“ Im serious,” she said looking a bit irritated

“ Ok ok, i don't really have a type, i like what I like,”

She furrowed her eyebrows,” What do you mean,”

“I don't really place a label on myself, I’m attracted to certain qualities that someone brings to me and whether it be a male or female, i like them,”.

She nodded at me then bit her lip looking back at the screen, “ if someone like Izogie came along with the qualities you like ,” she trailed off

“I would like them too,”

“I understand,” she said, then looking back at me her gaze was too hard to comprehend.

“ So before you came to Wakanda, there were other people,”

“ I wouldn’t say that, i had only one person who I didn't really find myself attracted to and before anything got to serious I cut them off,” i shrugged

“ And then you came to Wakanda,”

I sighed dreamily,” the people are very beautiful here Shuri,”

“What are you saying,” she said her accent coming through hysterically

“ Too many to choose from,” i said then laughed at her as she grew serious again

“Im kidding im kidding ok,” i said laying her back down.

“ The people are very beautiful and I was intimidated so I rarely asked anyone out, I felt like a kid again ,” i said , rubbing my cheek.

“ There was one man, he was from the jabari tribe and he was very handsome,”

“But,” she said with furrowed eyebrows.

“He became to arrogant and he was a playboy, he was not appealing to me anymore,” i said

“Good,” Shuri said and I laughed at her

“But Izogie seems arrogant,” she said again glancing at the screen

I shook my head, “not arrogance, confidence,” i said sighing out and shuri pushed me back gently

“ I have one more question,”

“Shoot,” i said nodding at her

“When you said you got a better understanding, what did you mean?”

I glanced at the screen then back at Shuri who kept her gaze on me.

“ You don't usually throw tantrums like you did today after a meeting,” i said and she looked away

“ You were excited not angry,” she turned to me with furrowed eyebrows, but she didn't move to speak

“ I saw it in your eyes and the way you talked to me, the way you talked to Ayo,” I rubbed her arm and smiled feeling it flex

“ I wasn't excited, the elders talked down on me and it pissed me off,” She said shaking her head and looking away again

“ You wanted a reaction so bad when you saw me, you held a glint and you did everything to get a rise out of me, even using your authority over me,” i said and she let out a breath as i rubbed my hand up her arm as the other moved to her chest, her heartbeat was rapid

“ Baby it's ok to admit that, I won't be angry if you do,” she glanced at me and turned to look at the screen

“ Now you want to watch the movie,” i said shaking my head at her

“ Shuri,” i said and her head twitched

“Look at me,” I said , moving her face toward me and her eyes were slightly glazed. Another note to take.

“ Can you tell me why you did what you did today,” I asked, keeping my voice calm and I sighed when she didnt give an answer.

“You doing what you did today will not make me upset, but not answering me will,” I said , my hand squeezing her neck again and she parted her lips.

“I just wanted to see you,” she said and I smiled at her.

” I didn't want to bother you and I thought you would be busy,” she said the last part quickly.

“I'm never too busy for you Shuri,” she huffed at me and looked away.

“You say that but then you’re off to America with Riri and Michelle,” and I raised my eyebrows.

“I have to work just like you Shuri and i always try to make time for you and Ri and MJ have nothing to do with the reason for my leaves,” I said and she tried to sit up but i moved and pushed her back down.

“Get off me,” she said pushing at me

“We both know you could throw me off you if you really wanted to,” I said moving closer to her.

“Don't be like that, we were just doing good,” I said to her and she gulped at me and I kissed her cheek.

“Did you apologize like I told you,” I said and she nodded before giving me a verbal answer.

I kissed her cheek again and I went lower to her neck smelling the vanilla body wash I had been using since i got here.

“ All you had to do was call me, why didn't you,” i said and I felt her push her hips up

“Don't give me that too busy excuse either, I want the real truth,”

“ I didn't want to seem weak,” she said huffing as her head laid against the pillow.

“ The elders thought I was slacking with my experiments and I didnt want anyone to see me slip up,”

“Oh Shuri, you’re not weak, far from it,'' I said looking at her, seeing that she was holding back tears.

“But it's true,” she went on to say more until I stopped her.

“Don't let me hear you say that again, do you understand,” she nodded at me and said she understood.

“ Who cares if you slip up, you are supposed to be vulnerable, the elders dont do shit but hide behind their titles and borders, but you deserve to show emotion for all the shit you’ve been through,” i said and she let out a breathe and I was happy that she didn't let a tear fall seeing that she had cried all night before. I wanted her to let it out but if she didnt I wasn't going to stop her.

I sighed, putting my head in the crook of her neck hating the way she felt about herself. I pulled her to me and ran my hands down her arm and she sighed.

“ My baby just can't get a break,” I said, kissing her neck and tilting it more.

“ Even after all you do for Wakanda, for your people,” I said , kissing her chest and she sighed pushing her head back against the pillow further .

“You deserve so much more, so much love and care,” I said cupping her cheek as she let out another breath.

“Can I give you that, will you let me Shuri?”

“ Please,” she whimpered out and I smiled at the sound.

“I want you to say red if you want me to stop ok,” I said, making sure her eyes were on me and that she was listening .

“Red if I want you to stop,” she said her hands gripping mine and I smiled at her nodding.

“ Are you going to be good for me,” I asked and looked up at her to see her nod her head, eyes still closed.

“ Yes I will, I promise just please make it better y/n,” she said and I kissed her and she kissed me back with so much fever I had to guide her.

I wanted this to be slow, not something quick. She soon contained herself and relaxed as we kissed. I heard her let out a moan as we both explored each other's mouth. I pulled her sweatpants down and she helped me take them off without breaking the kiss even when I sat up she chased me. “Relax baby I got you,” I said to her moving her to lay back down and she sighed as her eyes fell closed again. I barely started and her legs were shaking, I was not sure from nerves or from what I was doing but I rubbed my hands over her hoping to calm her down.

“ Y/n please I need it,” she said, gripping the blanket as she thrusted up to me and I was surprised she didn't rip the blanket.

“You said you would be good for me, remember,just be patient baby,” I said, kissing her chest again, I signaled for her shirt not knowing if she wanted it on or off and she grabbed it pulling it over her head. She was breathing heavily and I looked over her skin seeing how she had old bruises and scars littered on her brown skin. She moved to cover her body as she turned to the tv again. I grabbed her hand and embraced them in mine. I kissed her cheek and she turned to look back at me with wide eyes and parted lips, I kissed her and she returned it this time slowly and her hands gripped mine, I kissed down her neck and chest then moved to kiss her breast to which she gasped too. Her hand was tightening and she opened her legs wider as I continued to move my tongue against her bud. I moved to the other one and she moaned loudly , her head thrown back. I hummed and kissed down to her stomach, telling her how beautiful she was and she keened at the words, her hand went to my head rubbing through my hair gently but I could tell she was growing impatient.

I made it to her womanhood and I took notice of how wet she was, “ I haven't even started yet and you're soaked,” I said and she whined, not even able to look at me.

I used my fingers to spread her open and I immediately licked up to her clit. She moaned loudly as her legs shook and it made me wonder if I was good at what I'm doing or was she just horny.

I pushed my tongue against her not touching the clit anymore wanting to make her last. I did put pressure on it occasionally and she thrusted up everytime and I let her use my face . Soon I pushed her hips down wanting to do all the work even if she wasn't having it. I couldn't help but smile at how she refrained from doing the opposite of what I said.

I made it back to her clit sucking on it and she tried pulling herself away and I held her in place, surprised that I was able to do so.

I continued sucking and licking at her trying to ignore the heat building up between my legs. I pulled her towards me some more wanting to keep her there. Her legs tried to close so i held them open once more as she wailed and pleaded.

“ Y/n its-,” she cut herself off going into a moaning fit and I grazed her clit with my teeth and she came into my mouth. Her body shook as I continued to take every drop in and I watched her as I sucked on her clit again and I saw that she screwed her face up as her back arched. It was a beautiful sight to see, she looked so soft as she took in slow breaths, her eyes lowered and expression blissed out. I wanted to see so much more, I wanted to see that expression again. I crawled up to her and rubbed through her hair as I kissed her. She moaned lifting her head up to weakly lick into my mouth, it was so slow and sensual I wanted to stay like this.

“My Shuri,” I said into her mouth and she wrapped her arms around me pulling me close.

“Yours,” she said quietly, her eyes still blissed out.

I nodded, “ all mine nobody else's right,”

She nodded at me and kissed me, “ nobody else's,’ I smiled at this, as she sounded so sure of herself,

I was far from done with her.

I moved one of my legs over her and her breath hitched against me.

“Y/n” she stuttered out, closing her eyes .

“Yes baby,” I said feeling breathless as I moved slowly against her enjoying how her back arched up .

“I can’t,” she said breathing harder

“I know you can baby it’s ok you can give me one more,” I said, grinding against her with a little more force and she gasped as she moved her hands back into the pillow

“But -,” I shook my head tutting at her

“You said you would be good now I want you to give me one more baby. I know you can do that for me can’t you,” I questioned and she opened her eyes as tears came down her face to which I wiped .

“You can be good for me can't you ,” I repeated and she nodded instantly

“I can. I can be good for you ,” she said eyes big as she looked at me and I smiled at her . I kissed as I sped up , the sounds encouraging me even further

She was so soft and wet I was almost tempted but I held back not wanting this to end so soon. She cried as she threw her head back and it gave me the opportunity to kiss her neck and mark her. She gasped when I sucked a bruise in one particular spot and she shook as she was almost to her orgasm .

“Can I come please,” she asked, her voice small and desperate. I felt bad but I wanted her to feel everything before she could let go.

“Not yet baby ,” I said, kissing her chest again and she arched her back letting out a silent moan .

“ Fuck, you wanted me to take care of you right? I’m the only one who gets to do this to you, who gets to see you like this.” I said moving toward her ear where I bit her lobe.

“ I want you to make a mess for me pretty, I want to feel it”

She pulled at my hair and tried to move away from me. I grabbed her arms and pinned them beside her head as I continued to thrust and kiss her.

“Please I can’t ,” she said crying and oh how beautiful she sounded , I never thought anyone could sound or look so pretty when they cry.

“You can let go now baby,” I said and she threw her head back letting out a string of broken moans. I continued to grind against her as I watched pleasure consume her .

“That’s it, just like that,” i couldn’t help the way my hips moved against hers wanting to watch her face twist as she could only lay there and give me everything.

“So good for me,” I said to her as I watched her cum again. Her body was shaking and I came soon after just from seeing her in pleasure, knowing I was the one to give it to her. She turned her head to the side and rubbed her face against my arm and I let go of her wrists. I grabbed the blanket and threw it over us. She made no movement as I did and she moaned softly when I lifted off of her. I kissed her forehead then lips telling her how good she was. She pushed her head into the crook of my neck mumbling thankyou.

I rubbed my hand through her hair and smiled when her breathing became slow.

“Baby,” I said, moving her to where she was looking at me.

Her eyes held tears which I had begun to wipe again.

“I meant what I said,”

“You do” she asked shyly

“I want to give you everything and so much more if you let me,” I said and she smiled at me with so much admiration it made my heart race.

“ I love you Y/n” she said in all seriousness causing me to freeze not expecting those words to come out her mouth.

“I love you too Shuri” I said smiling at her and I felt her reach up and wipe my eyes and I blinked not even feeling myself cry.

“Thankyou,” she said and pulled me close as she kissed me with passion and I layed back as she moved to lay on top of me, never breaking the kiss.
