Modern AU-no powers-just everyone being regular people type of shit, and it’s christmas because I said so and because everything is more fun at christmas:
Namor (like I said before) is N'Jadaka's best friend, they get along like an hamster on a wheel (except the wheel is on fire, and the hamster is on the highway) ANYWAY they have been best friends for ages but Namor has never actually met Erik's family, if not his father once when he was alive, and Erik always talks shit about the rest of them, especially his insufferably perfect cousin T'Challa and his annoying younger cousin Shuri, and usually Namor tends to believe him because he is... you know, his best friend, and you are supposed to believe and support your friends when they tell you something and because okay they do sound like excessively good to the point of boring people
Except that one day during the holidays Erik asks Namor to come pick him up by his uncle's house and he ends up actually meeting the infamous family, but especially Shuri and okay, when Erik said young, Namor was expecting a child, not a 22 years old beautiful woman with eyes so sharp they could cut him. And there is nothing annoying about her, she is spirited... alright he is probably gone, down so bad and so fast he's already trying to come up with a plausible excuse to see her again soon. 13 years of difference is not that much right? Right? He doesn’t care, he is too whipped to care.
(If in his mind he's already trying to decipher which color should he have to mix to get the perfect shade to paint her eyes that's between him and his canvas... and possibly his roommate Attuma and his cousin Namora who unfortunately share the apartment with him and have to endure him raving about this girl 24/7 day and night for the foreseeable future) [Pray for them]
No matter she seems to have the most overprotective family around her that could rival with the Great Wall of China, or that N'Jadaka would tease him mercilessly if he knew how down bad he was for his cousin (he doesn’t hold that much love for her anyway, so if it ended bad nothing would happen between them, but Namor won’t, absolutely won’t let that happen, she is too special to lose)
She's apparently also a genius and a know it all who wouldn’t hesitate to shut him down faster than the time it would get him to say hi? Fine by him. She can dissect him to pieces with that wonder of a brain she has for all he cares.
Shuri on her part has already heard about him, and decided to despise him by principle because he's her devil-spawn-cousin's best friend so he must be awful too and who the hell decides to call himself Namor if not a deranged egomaniac person.
Except she doesn’t expect him to look like that or have that voice, or to sound way more deeper than she gave him credit for... and alright, he is intense, and stubborn to-the-point-of-idiocy when he wants to. But he can actually make a lot of sense about a lot of things, and they do have a lot in common, and he challenges her, doesn’t let her win easily, she wants to know more about him oh no he is not that bad at all what now

"You are literally the last man I could ever be persuaded to go out with."
"Why?"
"What do you mean why?"
"You seem so adamant. The least you could do would be telling me the reasoning behind it. I'm sure you have plenty."
"Did N'Jadaka put you up to this? Because I swear, after I'm done with you, I'll kill him... and then I'll kill you, for wasting my time."
"He has nothing to do with it. He would probably mock me endlessly and try to talk me out of it if he knew I was here."
"Maybe you should listen then."
"I tend not to listen to others' opinion but mine on what I should and shouldn’t do... do you?"
"You don’t know me."
"I think that's probably the point of asking someone out. I want to."

Was supposed to start the modern au no powers namuri fanfic with Namor falling for Shuri, his bff Erik's younger cousin, I had been planning to write for weeks.
Ended up writing almost 2000 words of Shuri and N'Jadaka being chaotic cousins/siblings getting along like an house of fire constantly on the verge of nearly killing each other in an attempt to show dominance.
Namor hasn’t even showed up yet and he is already being roasted from a distance.
(Ramonda is just there reprimanding them to stop fighting once and for all while T'Challa quietly shakes his head in resignation)
