War had ended. Talokan and Wakanda had formed a 'truce', or so you call it. The Talokan army retreats, Wakanda rebuilds, and the two nations are at peace.
But despite that, there was a fall of a special someone. The fall of Wakanda's Queen, Ramonda. The woman who treated you like her own daughter, the woman who you cherished and loved so dearly.
It was a dark, dark time for the nation of Wakanda. It brought Shuri to a fit of anger. An anger that released a fierce desire for revenge. You couldn't blame her. Her whole family had been all killed, and there was no one else left for her.
No one else but you.
You were there for her the entire time of her sorrow, holding her close when she shed all the suffocating misery out. She held you so tightly, as if she was afraid you'd let go of her. Afraid you'd vanish right in front of her.
She couldn't even bare to think about that. Just thinking about it makes her head spin and chest ache.
But as always, she rose on her feet. She ruled Wakanda as the new Queen, and the protector. The black panther.
Riri had went back to her homeplace, but before she returned, she reminded a certain someone about her certain feelings for you. Shuri merely waved her off, playfully telling her to shoo.
And learning that her dearest brother had a son.
Weeks had passed after the war. Wakanda was still rebuilding, but lost of progress had been fixed already.
Shuri wanted to visit you after finishing up her work from the lab, but when she went to where you normally hung out you weren't there. Shuri located you location from your kimoyo beads, tracking where you are.
Seeing how you were at the palace gardens that was specifically built for you, she immediately went to you, wondering what you could be doing there especially when it's so late at night.
"My love, what are you doing here all alone?" You heard a familiar voice call out to you. You let a small smile come to your face when you saw Shuri approach you from behind, taking a seat on the grassy land beneath both of you, sitting right beside you.
Funny how she went from 'love' to 'my love' so quickly. dont ask why you're pointing out the smallest differences out of nowhere.
"Star gazing." You answered the girl. You leaned your head on her shoulders, hearing her let out a quiet hum of delight, slightly smirking in your direction.
"You know.. you never told me about what you were gonna say to me that day." You suddenly brought up. You looked up at Shuri through your lashes, seeing her only give you a confused look.
"You might have to be more specific." She says.
"The thing Riri said when we first met," You analyzed her expression, noticing how she still looked confused. " 'Princess still has some things to tell to her 'dearest..?' " You repeated the Americans words from before.
Shari's face lit up in realization, then shifted to something that looked like she was embarrassed.
"W-well— uhm.. it's kind of hard to talk about it right now. So.. uhm.." she sweats nervously, trying to avoid your curious pleading eyes.
"Is it something personal..?" You whispered, and she shrugged. "Something like that. I'm just not prepared to tell you yet." She tells you, honestly. You slowly nodded, not wanting to push in the topic any further.
"Alright. But if you want to, you can tell me, okay?" You reassured the girl, placing a small peck on her cheeks.
Shuris fingers gripped the grass that was being crushed by her hand. When you placed a small affectionate kiss on her cheeks, it almost made her want to just risk it all.
But her fears of being rejected. It will ruin everything.
"..Actually—"
"Yes?" You perked up immediately, removing your head from her shoulder to look at her properly. The glistening light in your eyes have always been so beautiful to her. The smoothness of your lips made her heart race whenever it pressed against her cheeks.
Everything about you is so pure and beautiful. She loves that about you so much. She loves the way you do the littlest things and it makes her heart flutter with delight.
She loves you.
"I love you."
She did it. She's done it, and now she can't undo what she had said.
The look on your face, it was shocked and taken aback. The smile on your face had dropped, and she could practically hear your heart hurriedly beating on your chest. The place was filled with silence aside from the loud bustling sound of the people of Wakanda far from the castle.
Shuri paled, anxiously trying to form a sentence. "(name)— I'm so sorry, I didn't mean for that to come out so suddenly," She desperately grabbed your hand, caressing it gently as she repeatedly apologized.
"I shouldn't have said that, I wasn't thinking, I was lost in thought and just said what was on my mind. Please, dearest. I'm sorry, i don't want to ruin things between us."
You were tuning out the voices you can hear newr you, specifically Shuri's. You can barely hear her, only hearing a small volume of it. Your heart was racing at her sudden confession. You felt like you could barely breathe.
Then without thinking, you leaned in, cutting off the things Shuri was still apologizing about. She was wide eyed for a few seconds, surprised, but slowly she relaxed as she savored the feeling of your self lips against hers.
You both moved your lips rhythmically, slow and synced. You both barely didn't want to pull away, as if this was to be the first and last kiss that both of you would share. But eventually, you pulled away for air.
Both of you were breathing roughly and unsteady. Shuri laughed slightly, moving a hand to your cheek softly. She placed a small kiss on your lips, tenderly giving you the most loveable look she's always given you.
That was it. Love, that always showed in her eyes whenever you both looked at eachother.
You smiled at her affection, leaning in once again before whispering quiet words right above her lips.
"I love you too, dearest."
