Before Abiona Interlude Part 13: Baby Shower Part 2

“ It is hard when they make you the villain,” Tolu said as he offered T’Chaka the glass in his hand. They both watched for a moment as their wives entered a conversation across the garden.

“ He just refused to see where his responsibilities lay. I mean no disrespect to you or your family, but my son will be King one day, he has known since a young age that his loyalty lies with his people first. Their needs come before even his own sometimes.”

“ Well, heavy is the head that wears the crown” Tolu retorted, “ However, I refuse to let my daughter get mixed into whatever his life entails.”

“ I have always been wary of T’Challa pursuing anything with Alixandre, I told him months before a baby was involved. But the boy has decided to throw all caution to the wind, as long as he sees a future with your daughter.”

Tolu stared at the King for a moment, letting his words mull over in his mind.

“ I am also unsure about this budding relationship. But I do know that I admire his dedication to the health and safety of both Alix and the baby. I wish he had been here from the start and on different terms. But he is doing what is right and I believe you should let him do right by his child. The rest we can sort out after.”

“I am not sure we can, I think our children have a plan for their lives that doesn’t look like what I had envisioned for him.”

Tolu took another pause “ We as the fathers may have to take a pause. It is a struggle but as my wife says, it is unfortunately necessary”

With that, he left T’Chaka’s side and rejoined the party as Alix reappeared to open gifts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As soon as T’Challa left his parents, he followed Alix inside looking for her. He stood at the door watching Alix sitting down catching a few breaths. He almost stopped himself from entering, but his need to comfort her was stronger.

Alix had been sitting with her eyes closed but heard the familiar footsteps that came after her. She quickly put the jewellery box Ramonda had given her under her pillow. She placed her hand back on her bump and closed her eyes just trying to focus on her breathing.

He finally sat next to her on the bed and grabbed her hand as they continued to sit in silence.

“ I am sorry for whatever he said to you, Alix” He could not sit in silence anymore. Alix finally opened her eyes and looked at him.

“ You don’t even know what he said T’Challa”

“ I know that whatever he did say was not what I would have wanted for him to say to you. And whatever he said is not true.” Alix just looked at him as he spoke. T’Challa looked at her waiting for a response.

“ Alixandre, I hope you know how committed I am to you and not just the baby”

“ T’Challa, I think your father raised some points. Unfortunately, he may be right. I am not discrediting anything you have said to me, I am just reminded that we have to approach all of this with caution. Even if you did have your father’s approval, you still come with quite a bit of baggage T’Challa, you have to understand that. ”

Hearing that left him feeling slighted. It already felt like a tug of war to get Alix to even consider any type of relationship with him, and once again his father aimed to be a hindrance to any progress that had happened.

“ I just hope you consider my words before anything he says. Everything we have talked about these past few months, the moments we have shared, I hope those actions speak louder than his moments of intimidation. And again I am sorry for whatever was said today.”

Alix turned to look towards the window when the sound of the party caught her attention. She took another large breath and forced a smile on her face.

“ Why don’t we just continue the shower, and talk later. I just want to enjoy the day, that’s what you told me to do right?” he looked hesitant but allowed her to place her hand on his cheek, her smile slowly becoming more real as he looked at her.

“ That’s all I wanted for today, for you to feel special”

“ And I had been, even with that little hiccup. So let’s keep having a good time. Besides, I want to try one of those cupcakes I keep seeing you and Jules snacking away on.”

With that T’Challa helped her up and they rejoined the party. He brought her down before Cosette could start panicking. T’Challa watched from the side as Alix opened one onesie to the next. Both future grandmothers had gone overboard with little outfits. Knowing his mother was excited for this new milestone in his life would always make him feel better about the struggles with his father.

Not long after he felt his mother’s presence next to him, very quickly linking arms with him.

“ Have you been having a good time?” he whispered to his mother.

“ I am, your life outside of Wakanda is so different but in a good way. I am just lucky I am able to see all of it. And I know Alix says we shouldn’t spoil the baby but, I am excitedly preparing for when my grandchild comes home.”

“ Yes, well, if Baba has anything to do with it Alix, let alone the baby will never see Wakanda” his mother matched his frown.

“ Don’t say that, your father has exaggerated things by far, but he will be able to do the right thing when it comes time to do so. And of course, my influence will help that” T’Challa smiled at his mother’s humour.

“ It is just difficult, I am receiving it on all sides. If it is not Baba telling me that he believes I am ignoring my duty, it is Alix constantly resisting our apparent relationship because of all that I come with. And as though that is not enough, her father has his own ideas of me and having my father insinuate that I may not be an active father is not helping my case”

Ramonda could see his mind racing, she moved to rub his back soothingly

“ Listen to me, you are doing the best that you can, and I am proud of you. You just keep being the good man that I know you are and leave the rest to Bast.”

“ Thanks, mama”

“ Don’t thank me for doing my job. Now, you might want to smile and join Alix before her overzealous best friend comes over here”

With that T’Challa kissed his mother’s cheek and walked over to where Alix had been waiting for him to open bigger presents. Ramonda watched with a hopeful smile that everything would work itself out. She hoped that if she kept saying it out loud, that would actually be the case.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The rest of the baby shower seemed to pass as Alix had hoped it would. She had spent the rest of the afternoon ignoring T’Challa’s father, though it seemed he was doing her a favour by remaining in the shadows of the party. T’Challa had gotten over his initial disappointment surrounding his father and had joined Alix in saying goodbye to guests.

Amélie and David had gone over to say goodbye and as Amélie hugged T’Challa she asked, “ What happened to the push gift? All the ideas you sent me? I was ready to see it on her?”

T’Challa tried to signal for Amélie to speak in lower tones around Alix, who had already clued in to what they were talking about.

“Wait, you got me a push gift,” She said, surprised.

“ I haven’t given it to her yet, that is why I hadn’t said anything,” T’Challa said to Amélie with a polite smile.

“ I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said anything,” Amélie apologized to T’Challa.

“ No thank you, you helped me out, I hate surprises and have been wondering what he wanted to give me this morning”

“ Yes, well, I was attempting to make it special, but I guess as many of my plans today, this too has failed,” he said with a smile but Alix could hear the disappointment in his voice. Now she felt a little bad, the day had definitely not gone the way he had imagined, especially with everything that had transpired with his father. He excused himself and decided to help Cosette with whatever she needed as the day came to an end.

Almost everyone had left except for the T’Challa’s family who had come over to Alix to say goodbye. Alix had seen them go over to T’Challa first before heading her way. Shuri and Ramonda greeted her quickly before exiting, but of course, T’Chaka lingered, leaving an uneasy feeling in Alix.

“ Look, I don’t want any more trouble tonight, I think we leave it as it is” Alix started defensively.

“ I did not come over here to say anything other than goodbye,” T’Chaka replied calmly. “ And to apologize for the ambush that happened earlier. Clearly, this is not the place or the manner in which we should be having these serious conversations. That was made very clear by both my son and my wife.”

His comments gave Alix a chuckle. In return, he smiled before looking behind her where he could see T’Challa pretending like he had not been watching the interaction.

“Either way, there is a better way to have this conversation in the future and I hope we all are able to sit down and have a more fruitful conversation than any that we had today” Alix was taken aback by the almost positive path this conversation was going. She tried to hide the shock on her face as she nodded. He finally gave her a small smile before finally walking out the door.

He did not offer much, but Alix found herself feeling hopeful about what could be a possible resolution between their families. She finally understood the patience she always saw and admired in T’Challa, it was a little hope that was often offered that made it seem like a positive outcome could be possible.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Their drive home had been quiet, Alix wished it hadn’t, because, despite everything, she did have a good time at her baby shower. She appreciated how much her family and friends had come together to make her special and to appreciate the milestone that pregnancy was. Throughout her pregnancy, there had been several moments that she had been low and sometimes unhappy and unable to see the joy in her journey. But today was one of those days she would be happy to smile back on, and she wanted T’Challa to smile about it as well.

She assumed he needed time to work through his own feelings about the day. Before they could both bask in the good moments, the drive home may have been that for him. She didn’t know what to say, but at some point, she comfortably placed her hand on his knee as he drove. She didn’t turn to look at him nor did he react, but they both knew it was her little way of letting him know everything was okay.

When they finally got home, she sat on her bed staring at herself in the mirror before starting to remove the flowers her friend had placed in her hair earlier. She thought about keeping a few and pressing them into a book.

She looked at the door when she heard T’Challa’s footstep coming towards her ever so slowly, he had a box in his hand as he waited at the door frame.

“ Are you busy?”

“ No, just slowly decompressing, what’s that in your hand?” she asked after a beat.

“ We both know that this is your push gift” he replied with a chuckle as she patted the spot on the bed next to her. Very soon both their reflections could be seen in the mirror.

“ I know, but knowing you, you would make it special, even if I did ruin the surprise.”

“ Yes well, I had planned this whole speech, more so just some words I really wanted to say to you. But I don’t think they would apply at this moment anymore”

He placed the box in her hand, gesturing for her to open it.

“ Well, you are never tongue-tied, so I still would love to hear something” Slowly she opened the box, exposing an earring and necklace set she had been admiring a few weeks ago but for once did not plan on buying. They cost way too much money, but she did not think T’Challa had been paying attention. Her eyes went wide before turning to him.

“ T’Challa”

“ No, you cannot return it, yes I am aware of the cost. But the ladies at Lamaze advised me to go big or go home. Amélie had made sure to reiterate that it had to sparkle in the sunlight and I am certain the jewels do just that”

“ I don’t know what to say other than thank you, you know you didn’t have to do all this. Just you being here constantly, having me excited to bring this life into the world. That means so much”

“ I know, but I was excited to give you this, you are doing much of the heavy lifting so really, I am the one who cannot repay you for everything you are sacrificing to bring our child into the world” she leaned over and kissed his cheek before smiling up at him again.

He looked down at the box before noticing she hadn’t opened the second compartment. “ There is one more thing” he pointed gently.

She pulled the little compartment her shock had caused her to miss. Inside was a sterling silver charm bracelet currently holding one flower charm with a small yellow jewel in the middle. She looked up at him, feeling quite a bit emotional by all the appreciation. She held it together waiting for him to explain the significance.

“ I thought a charm bracelet would allow you to memorialize important moments in your life as they come. You always mentioned sometimes wanting to keep a little memory that reminded you of a moment you smiled. So that is how the bracelet came to be. Your mother also mentioned you had had a similar one that got full”

“ I did, you asked her about it?”

“ Of course, I wanted to get the perfect gift for you.” she finally let her hormones with and allowed a tear to fall, which he quickly reached over and wiped.

“ And what does the flower symbolize”

“ Well, even if they come early, our baby will be here in March, and a daffodil is their birth flower. So I thought marking the arrival of your child would be a good way to start.”

“There are those sweet words I knew you could string together” she finally spoke with teary eyes, as he laughed at her comment. She enjoyed making him laugh, she would never tell him but it gave her butterflies to know she could bring him so much joy.

“This is all so beautiful, thank you T’Challa, really” he nodded, just watching her looking at the jewellery box again.

“ I am not sure what dysfunction they are going to be born into but I think if we keep working on us, then there is a fighting chance. I know today may have made it seem like that sounds far-fetched but I do not think it is.”

“ I do not think it is far-fetched” she closed the jewelry box and looked his way.

“ Seriously”

“ Yes seriously, I know I had some doubts earlier, but I received a glimmer of hope, and I think I am going to take your approach and just hold on to that”

“ Can I ask what the glimmer of hope was?”

“ It was your father” his frown made her smile, “ I am being serious, when he was leaving he apologized for how he spoke to me and said that there may be room for a more productive conversation in the future. Now tell me that isn’t hopeful”

He simply nodded allowing himself to relax.

“ I really did enjoy myself today T’Challa. That wasn’t ever ruined, there are quite a few bumps on the road for us, I am not going to lie. But I think slowly but surely we are getting there. Our worlds are merging.”

The smile she loved so much spread across his face. She leaned her head against his shoulder, hand on her bump as they stared at each other through the mirror.

“So, you were quite the mama’s boy weren’t you”

“ Oh please don’t remind me of all the endless stories she told today. I specifically told her not to and yet she did.” he groaned at the memory of his mother sharing his baby photos with the other women today.

“ I am so glad I got to hear and see everything”

“ Despite the embarrassment, I am glad too. Today didn’t look exactly how I had hoped, but it had its moments and I’m just glad you were happy, and of course, I am blessed to share this all with you,” he said reaching over to take a flower out of her hair.

“ I am glad I am sharing this with you too” she closed her eyes for a moment, finally feeling like she was able to soak in all the moments from today with the only person she wanted to share any of it with. Yes, they were a mess, but she felt blessed to be a mess with him.

a small house in a quiet, do nothing town

when i thought about my future

it was a small house, a bungalow maybe

sitting on the shore of a quiet, do-nothing town

where the tides are as familiar as Mr. Davis next door.

but i think i could live in the mountains,

it would still be a small house, a cabin maybe

sitting on the side of a mountain in a quiet, do-nothing town

where the crunch of autumn leaves is as familiar as Ms. Robinson down the road.

Rapunzel, Rapunzel

Description: Rapunzel is missing?

Previous: New Years

It was hard not to worry.

Jack had called back and said no one was home, and everything looked locked up and in place. He would come back the next day and check again.

Hiccup tried to reassure Merida. It wasn’t like they could do anything from Maine, anyway. Rapunzel didn’t have social media accounts to connect with, no one knew her email, and her phone still went straight to voicemail.

Merida knew he was trying to help, but she couldn’t help bursting through the door as soon as she got to her apartment and calling, “Rapunzel? You here?” No one responded. The heater was off, the lights were out, and everything was clean as a whistle. Merida took a deep breath.

She turned on the heater and the lights as Hiccup carried one of her bags in. “Mer, please.”

“I’m worried, Hiccup, I can’t help it. If she’s in trouble, if she can’t call anyone for help…”

Hiccup put her bag next to the couch and walked over, grabbing her shoulders. “Hey. Calm down. It’s okay.”

Rapunzel was just so...Rapunzel. She was technically an adult, but there was something so childlike about her. Merida was worried that she’d trust the wrong people, get involved in something she didn’t want or understand. Her little blonde roommate was vulnerable in a way, and desperate for love and friendship, and Merida knew there were people who would take advantage of that.

She sighed. “I’m...I’m sorry. I know she’s probably just with her mum. I can’t help feeling like something’s wrong, though.”

Hiccup smiled at her. “A feeling, huh? Does your hair have magic powers or something?”

Merida snorted and shoved him a little. “Oh, shut up, Henry.”

“No, no, I’m serious! Does it tell the future? Can you get radio waves from outer space?” He started to tickle her sides. “Can it work like a homing beacon?” Merida laughed and swatted at his hands. “I bet it can locate treasure and stuff. The more it curls, the closer you are, right?” He had her pinned against the counter, a goofy smile on his face.

“You’re ridiculous!” she gasped between laughs.

Hiccup chuckled and wrapped his arms around her, nuzzling into her hair. “It must be magic, though. It’s too pretty, and it smells so nice.”

Merida’s grin grew even wider. He liked how her hair smelled? “Well, maybe it’s a little bit magic,” she giggled. “How else would it defy gravity like this?”

School started the following Monday, and Rapunzel still hadn’t come back. Merida was starting to worry about the rent. Would it be totally out of bounds to check Rapunzel’s room for clues?

It took about an hour of deliberation before Merida decided it was worth investigating

Her room looked like it normally did, so she hadn’t moved out suddenly. No note left behind. No convenient check for $500 made out to the apartment’s owner. Just...nothing.

Merida groaned. It was lonely here with no roommate. And a bit creepy.

She called Hiccup and asked if he wanted to come over and keep her company, and he told her he’d be there in ten minutes.

She flopped onto the couch after grabbing an apple from the counter, sighing.

No sooner than she bit into the apple, there was frantic banging at the door. Merida’s heart leapt to her throat and she coughed as the apple tried to go down the wrong tube.

Carefully, quietly, she made her way from the couch to the peephole of the door. She briefly lamented not having a bat of some kind handy. The distorted person pounding their fists against the door wasn’t anyone Merida knew.

Except—those big green eyes, and that nose. Could it be?

“Merida!” the person cried. “Merida, please, let me in!”

That was Rapunzel’s voice. Merida unlocked the door and flung it open. Her roommate, who looked rather different than usual, stumbled in and landed against the wall across from the door, shivering with wide eyes.

“Rapunzel! You’re okay! Oh, thank goodness, I was worrying up a storm!” Merida shut the door and locked it, then took a closer look at her friend.

The long blonde hair was cut short and dyed brown. Her clothes looked...ratty. Actually, all of her looked ratty. Dirty and, eugh, smelly. She had dark eye makeup on, and it was streaked from tears.

Rapunzel slid down the wall to curl up in a little ball on the floor, thin fingers clenched until the bones stood out.

“Merida...oh, Merida, it was awful…”

Crap. Merida wanted some goon she could beat up to make it better. What are you supposed to do with a crying person?

“Are you...what...um...do you want to shower?” Merida asked, so many levels of unsure.

Rapunzel looked up at her. Her eyes were red now. “Yes, actually. That’d be really nice.”

And off she went, and Merida was wondering if there was someone she needed to call.

A knock against the door brought her back from her thoughts. It was Hiccup.

“Rapunzel’s back,” Merida said softly. “But I don’t think she’s okay. I don’t really know what to do.”

She sat on the couch and Hiccup sat next to her, putting a hand on her shoulder. “Hey, it’s okay. We’ll figure it out, all right?”

“I don’t really want to talk about it,” Rapunzel said, her hands wrapped around a mug of hot chocolate. “If that’s alright. I kind of just...want to forget it ever happened.”

Merida wanted to scream. How were they supposed to help if they didn’t know what was wrong?

“Sure. Whatever you want. Just know that we’re here for you,” Hiccup said.

Merida looked at him, eyes wide in an “Are you kidding me right now?” sort of way. What if she was sick? Or was being followed by a gang? Or accidently got involved in a robbery and was running from the cops?

His eyes said back, “Calm down. It’ll be okay.” He rubbed her shoulder, then got up to do something in the kitchen.

“Well…” Merida said. “As long as you’re safe now. That’s what’s important.”

Rapunzel looked...wilted. Like spinach left too long in the fridge. The newly-brown hair, the red eyes, the slump of her shoulders. Merida had the urge to set her roommate out in the sun and give her some water to help her perk back up.

She reached across the table—

—and there was more frantic banging on the door.

Merida looked at the door, then at Rapunzel. The former blonde looked...terrified. What the heck was going on?

Then the door was breaking, swinging in. Had someone just broken their door?!

Yup, sure thing. Crazy-looking woman barging in had legit just kicked through the front door. Merida leapt up, baffled and angry and ready to punch this lady’s lights out.

“Oh, Rapunzel!” the freaky woman cried, managing to sound both worried and completely condescending. “I’ve been so worried about you!”

Merida paused, fists up. Crazy woman was Rapunzel’s mum? Sheesh. Still illegal, but sheesh. She looked in the kitchen and saw Hiccup on the phone. He mouthed “9-1-1” at her and she nodded back.

The woman was going on and on, about Rapunzel’s short brown hair and bloodshot eyes and how generally awful she looked. How worried she had been. How she had...followed her? Creepy.

Rapunzel wasn’t moving. She stared at her mum with wide eyes. “Mother?” she whispered. She looked at Merida, and Merida was reminded of a frightened rabbit. Hiccup murmured into the phone.

The woman suddenly seemed to notice that she wasn’t the only one there. Her eyes narrowed at Merida, who had moved to block the door, fists still up. She looked at Hiccup next and hissed, “What are you doing? Who are you calling?!”

Hiccup balked. “Uh, just a friend!”

The next few seconds were surreal. Merida watched as the woman pulled a kitchen knife out of her coat, an honest-to-goodness huge chef’s knife, and she was cornering Hiccup, and Rapunzel was shrieking and running to them, and it felt like everything was underwater or something. Too slow, too far away. Then the knife plunged, Rapunzel whacked her mother with the frying pan she’d picked up, and Hiccup was—was—

—down, clutching his side, gasping in pain.

stay salty || cc!sapnap x reader

☼ a part of my series, life’s a beach!

summary: when the ‘property of sapnap’ isn’t well-known enough~ pronouns/gender: gn | they/them note: hehe a lil jealous and possessive sapnap <3 warnings: swears/cursing not edited

. now, don't get me wrong, dream definitely rented a mansion as a beach house on the beach front

. and because he's rich and wanted everyone to be comfortable

. that being said, theres 100% a pool

. so, on your guys' dedicated 'pool day'

(if you don't know what chicken is- one person gets on someone else's shoulders on each team and you fight in the air till one pair falls down)

"y/n come in, we need to win against the children, get on my shoulders." "really?" "y/n are you being a PUSSY??"

. sapnap almost glared him down for that one-

"tommy do you WANT to lose??"

. granted, tommy and tubbo may be much taller- but theyre SO uncoordinated

. they'd be wobbling, very unstable

"oh yea, we got this y/n."

. so hoisted on his shoulders, you prepare to fight tommy

. its very sunny out though, you would bring your hand up to block it

"y/n wait- here." "he takes off his baseball cap and hands it up to you." "thanks sap-" "now you can't wear anyone else's." "i-"

. it was a pretty easy win, tubbo accidentally covered tommys vision and they fell-

. he also does the thing where he will flip his hat backwards to kiss you so you don't get hit by the hat

. also at one point buys matching snapbacks

giggling, sapnap threw something at your face, barely missing your head.

"sap you almost hit me what the-" "look! matching hats!"

. but as if his hat wasn't enough-

. so you know how sapnap has those rubber wrist bands as merch??

(the ones that pinch your skin and hair)

. he would be the type to wear them just because he likes them

. and he definitely makes you wear one, the one with his name on it

. and if some other jerk is flirting with you, he comes up to you guys

"dude, didn't you see the wristband on their wrist?? property of me, sapnap. lay off."

. you are kinda speechless, wanting to laugh

"names right there, idiot."

. the other person walks away in anger

"is this why you make me wear it??" "maybe- how else are people going to know?? plus you're supporting my merch."

. he loves you though, doesn't want to lose you to some jerks

unrequited love and how to write it

ig: @sunshinewriting

What is unrequited love?

Unrequited love is also known as one-sided love and is when feelings are not returned or rewarded. Almost everyone who feels romantic attraction has experienced unrequited love. Not everyone gets the forever after with the person that they’re in love with simply because that person may not feel the same way. Unrequited love hurts, and oftentimes it can lead to self doubt and issues with self-esteem.

Some examples of unrequited love may be a crush on a celebrity, or someone out of your league, lingering feelings for an ex after a break up, or attraction to someone who’s unavailable (such as in a relationship already).

How to write it

Something that’s important to remember is not everyone gets their happily ever after and that’s okay. It hurts when you can picture an entire future with someone, and yet they don’t feel the same way about you. When you’re writing about unrequited love, it’s important to show how your character heals. Although things might not work out the way they want it to with that person, there could be someone better waiting for them that they could’ve missed out on. Or, they can focus on self-improvement.

It’s important to show that your character’s life isn’t over even though it might seem like it is, and it’s healthy to move on. The first step in coping with unrequited love is to become aware of it. Realizing that that person doesn’t seem interested in progressing the relationship between them and your character is an important step and oftentimes the character will go through a phrase of denial. They can hyperfixate on little details or what they might consider “signs'' that the person is interested in them. Your character might write letters or texts to confess their feelings without sending them, check their social media frequently, come up with elaborate plans to bump into them, or frequently imagine different scenarios with them.

When trying to get over their crush, love, or obsession, the person may go through a range of emotions including rejection, sadness, anger, resentment, anxiety, and shame. The best ways for someone to get over unrequited love is to talk about it with a friend, distract themself, and give the other person some space so that the character can move on.

Types of unrequited love

1. Loving someone who doesn't reciprocate those feelings

Plain and simple, this is just when you’re in love with someone who just doesn’t feel the same way about you.

2. Loving or having a crush on someone famous/who doesn’t know you

Again, this one is pretty self explanatory. Sometimes you can develop feelings for a famous person, or even a fictional character, and they can’t reciprocate your feelings because they don’t know you. This can also connect to when you have a crush on someone that you frequently passed in the halls at school, or on someone who sits behind you but you’ve never talked to.

3. Loving someone who can't reciprocate those feelings

An example of this is loving or crushing on someone who isn’t attracted to your gender, or someone who isn’t able to experience romantic attraction in general so they’re unable to return your feelings.

4. Longing for a past lover

After a relationship has failed and your ex-partner has moved on, it’s common to have lingering feelings. Sometimes if you’re still around them, you can still have strong feelings for them and if they’ve already moved on then they most likely won’t reciprocate them.

5. Loving someone who is unavailable

Usually, this entails falling in love with or crushing on someone who’s already in a relationship and it can also include someone who isn’t able to experience romantic attraction.

I didn't hurt anyone back… ever… or did I?

a brief text of me being egoistic

I am SURE no one ever "killed" me. but I surely "killed" many I've once loved.

I kinda wish people went through the same pain I did?… like some twisted love test?…

I wish I had wrote loveletters on their bookcovers and notebooks.

I wish they couldn't read their books again without thinking of me.

I wish I had stained their favorite songs.

I wish they couldn't listen to it again without thinking of me.

I wish I had marked their favorite youtubers. games. streets. foods.

I wish they could feel me, hear me, like a ghost refusing to leave, haunting you with my love and how much you wanted me to be there with you.

I wish they thought I must've been thinking the same. feeling the same.

I wish people had a massive bag with my drawings, poems and texts.

I wish they'd hold on to it all... because they couldn't bring themselves to destroy a part of me. because they knew my art was my love language, and they couldn't destroy my love.

I wish they forced themselves to do it anyway... after realizing what I've done.

I wish they had to "kill" me.

our memories.

our love.

I've gotten through the pain of "killing" others and myself way too many times, and in all of them I was alone.

no one ever "killed" me. I'm sure of it.

and I've got to admit, I'm kinda mad about it.

I'm kinda mad I was the only one who suffered.

I'm kinda mad no one went through each and every page of my love, remembering good times and lovefilled promises, asking themselves what they've done wrong and why I acted this way... I'm kinda mad no one did all this before burning it all...

no one but me.

how could they forgive themselves?

doesn't it hurt?

in an egoistic way,

I wish your nostalgia tasted like me.

I know mine tastes like a lot of people, and a lot of regret.

Keith, Lance, and Pidge go on a mission to a bio-weapon lab hidden on a jungle world.

Jealousy, a confusing love triangle, and a lot of horny teenager bullshit ensues.

Before Abiona Interlude Part 12: Baby Shower Part 1

Pairing: T’ Challa x Black!Reader

Warning(s): None

Link to ABIONA by @aloevverified

Link to Face claims (2)

Previous Chapter: Part 13

It was still quite early in the morning when T’Challa had decided to sneak into the small jewelry store that stood in the middle of the Golden city. He had been to the store only a few times before, with his friend Akhona to help pick out a ring for his now wife. So it felt like a no-brainer to go back to the store and pick out his push gift for Alix. When the mothers at Lamaze had explained to him what it was, he was more than eager to pick something out for Alix. Her baby shower was coming up, though it was a little early, he knew it would be the perfect time to give it to her. He just hoped they would be able to find a quiet moment to do so, especially now that their families would be meeting for the first time. Well everyone but his father, who once again conveniently had an urgent work matter that he had to attend to. T’Challa had had his moment to sulk about the matter but had chosen to just make the most of the moment, hoping his father would come around.

He pushed his thoughts aside as the jeweller joined him in the front of the store with a smile. “Good morning my prince. I have everything ready for you right here” the woman said as she slowly opened up the box to show him the set. T’Challa slowly looked down with a smile growing on his face.

“I take it that you like it”

“I do, it’s perfect, really” he grabbed the box from the jeweller's hand, allowing himself a closer look at the set. He really hoped that Alix would like it. He thanked the jeweller with a smile before sneaking back on to the streets that had become busier as the day started.

T’Challa waved and saluted at the few who grabbed his attention, though his mind was already with Alix in France. He had breakfast with his family before leaving, making sure to remind them of the time they had to be there for the baby shower, making sure to reiterate all the details as his father sat there unmoved by his son’s silent plea. That didn’t deter T’Challa who was sure that his message was received, and with that little hope, he boarded the ship back to Alix.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“ Okay, I think if you place just a little bit higher, it should be perfect” Estelle squinted as T’Challa and Jules stood on chairs trying to place a banner above the door. They had been decorating all day and the garden was beginning to come together. Alix’s best friend Cosette was running around with a headset making sure every detail, down to the napkins were where she wanted them to be.

T’Challa found it comical as the short woman commanded the attention of everyone around her.

“ She’s doing a lot for a baby shower” Jules murmured to T’Challa. He had already gotten his earful from Cosette and didn’t want her coming back over towards them.

“She is just excited, and someone has to be, the guest of honour could care less” T’Challa responded pointing his head towards Alix, who sat by the door leading to the house. She too was laughing at Cosette, while balancing a bowl of grapes on her stomach.

“ Oh trust me she is excited,” Jules said with an eye roll. “She and Maman made me their chauffeur so she could find the perfect gown for today. They all looked the same to me.”

“ That doesn’t shock me, your sister could wear a new outfit every day if she could,” He said, staring at her as she inspected the grapes before eating them.

“ It’s a good thing her baby daddy comes with a hefty wallet, right T” Jules playfully punched T’Challa’s shoulder. The prince didn’t even flinch as he continued to stare at the woman who owned his heart. Jules turned to see him still staring, shaking his head at how in love the man was.

“ You know, I’m not supposed to tell you this, but the only reason we went shopping was that she thought you didn’t like the first dress she picked”

T’Challa finally turned to look at Jules who was now looking at where Cosette was before going over to the table with the food. He watched as Jules snuck around before returning to him with some crackers in his hands.

“ I never said I didn’t like the dress, I barely remember it actually,” He said trying to remember the exact moment.

“ That is exactly the point, because of that I was forced to drive around the city to find a replacement” he finished off his crackers before dusting his hands.

“ Well, I apologize for what my lacklustre reaction caused. I’ve just been thinking about our parents finally meeting, and getting her gift” he ended with a smile.

“ Well, if the meeting is like the first time we met you, I cannot wait for the shower” Jules’ sentence was followed by a teasing laugh that T’Challa met with an eye roll and frown. Just the memory of his first meeting with Tolu made him nervous for his family to get here. To distract himself of the thought, he looked over at Cosette and loudly said,

“ Jules, I don’t think those crackers were to be eaten” he gave Jules a mischievous smile before walking away and hearing Cosette go, “ You had one job Julianus! And that was not it!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Guests had started to arrive and mingle in the garden. Alix looked through the window of her childhood bedroom, recognizing some faces from her Lamaze class, as well as a few of her mother’s friends. There was still no sign of T’Challa’s family and it was making her antsy. Their worlds were finally merging and it still felt too soon.

“ Alix, come let me fix your hair and then we are good to go,” Cosette said with enough excitement for the two of them.

“ I can’t believe we are actually doing this” Alix mumbled as she slowly sat down in the chair facing the mirror. “Who would have thought”

“ Definitely not me,” Cosette said with a giggle “ I always thought it would be me first, but here you are, belly and all. Who knew a literal prince would be the one to tie Alixandre down.”

“First of all,” she said playfully swatting her before reaching for her make-up bag to do some touch-ups. “ I am not tied down, I am simply having a baby with a man who happens to be a prince”

Cosette stared at her through the mirror with an unconvinced look “ So is that why I found you wrapped in his shirtless arms this morning, looking like you were having the best sleep of your life”

“ He is the one who likes to cuddle, not me! I just let him sometimes, but that’s going to stop anyways because he creates way too much body heat” Alix caught herself smiling as she remembered not wanting to leave his arms.

“ Yeah, yeah, whatever, I can see that smile you know. And I see him smiling and stealing glances at you every moment he can. If you aren’t smitten, I promise you, he is” Cosette stated matter of factly as she placed small flowers in Alix’s perfectly coiffed afro.

“Well, he has been smitten before, I’m going to need more than that. We just have to focus on the baby right now.” at the same time her hand travelled to her 7-month bump. “Especially now that our families are meeting for the first time.”

“ Are you nervous? His family likes you right?”

“You don’t even know, His sister is lovely and I can see our mothers getting along. Papa has not been the most welcoming, but T’Challa’s father has been against us even before there was a baby involved. Which makes sense, his son is heir, certain choices have had to be made” Cosette looked up for a moment to stare at her friend’s slightly solemn face.

“Well, I have never been in your shoes, but I think T’Challa is trying to make it work as best as he can. It’s clear he sees his life when he looks at you. And it helps that he is a very attractive, amazing choice Alixandre” the pair shared a light laugh before turning to the knock on the door.

“ Sorry to interrupt ladies, I was hoping to talk to you before things got busy,” T’Challa said from the door, much quieter than he normally would. He was a little nervous, and it wasn’t just because he had been trying to make a good impression with Cosette.

“ Of course,” Alix said, getting up with the help of her friend. T’Challa’s eyes stayed on her, admiring her final look.

“You look stunning Alixandre, just glowing,” he said reaching for her hand. Alix just smiled, not really finding the words, she just stared back at him as he reached for a flower in her hair. She got the reaction she had been hoping for.

“Doesn’t she! The flowers were my idea” Cosette said with a smile as she continued to take photos of the two of them until Alix signalled for her to leave the room. “ Right! I will go do something else”

“ How are you, I feel like I haven’t seen you all day,” Alix asked softly, enjoying the soft touches T’Challa had been leaving since he walked over to her.

“ I know, Cosette has had me and Jules decorating all day. I quite enjoyed it but I don’t think that your brother can say the same.”

“ Of course, he wouldn’t,” she said with an eye roll “ Are you ready for today, worlds are merging”

“ I know, I can’t stop thinking about it. But it should be fine, don’t you think”

She nodded before asking her question “ What about your father, is he coming?”

T’Challa’s face fell for a moment before quickly smiling again “ Let’s not worry about that, I actually have something to give you”

Alix frowned slightly at his avoidance of the question. She sat back down as he searched his pocket with a sense of panic. He looked at her bored expression and started mumbling to himself.

“I could have sworn I had it with me”

“T’Challa, what is it, maybe I can help you” He shook his head no and was interrupted by Jules entering the room.

“ Hey T, your parents and sister are here. It’s showtime.”

“Wait, parents as in two?” He said walking towards the window where he saw his parents walk in the regal-like manner he expected from them. He enjoyed their ‘laid back’ attire, if anything it was comical. He finally turned back to the siblings with a smile. “ I guess my father is here. I will meet you downstairs then”

“ What about what you wanted to give me?” He turned to Jules as if asking a question. Jules began to act out steering a car, which T’Challa nodded to “ I think it’s best if I give it to you later. Have fun today alright”

T’Challa kissed her cheek before leaving the room, Jules was about to follow before his sister called him over.

“ What does T’Challa need to give me?” Jules smirked at his sister before backing away with a shrug. He knew how much she hated surprises and enjoyed messing with her. Alix just rolled her eyes before getting up again and peaking at the window. She pushed her nerves aside and took a deep breath. T’Challa was right, it was her day, so she was going to enjoy it as much as she could. And with that thought, she turned to the door with a smile on her face.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Loved, that was how Alix was feeling as her friends and family reminded her how joyful the arrival of a baby truly was. Cosette and her mother had really gone all out with decorations and the food looked so good. She had caught sight of both T’Challa and Jules by the dessert table more than once.

Amelie had left Emmanuel with David and had fully immersed herself in the games. She was showing a level of competition Alix had never seen before but was fully enjoying. The real surprise came from Ramonda who participated in a few games and won. The ladies from Lamaze had convinced her and Estelle to tell a few baby stories about the soon to be parents, who both sat there covering their faces from embarrassment. Ramonda had begun to pull out some baby pictures and T’Challa had no choice but to put a stop to it. Alix found it really cute and definitely whispered to Shuri to have some of those sent to her as soon as possible.

Things had begun to die down and Alix joined T’Challa who was mingling, his arm wrapped around her, as it always was in times like this. She had gotten lost in conversation with Cosette when T’Challa grabbed her attention and pointed his eyes to where their parents seemed to be talking. He took her hand in his and walked over with a smile.

“ Baba, mother, I see you have formally met Alixandre’s parents,” he said with a slight bow

“It appears so my son.” his father said lowly, “ Alixandre, this has been a wonderful event. It is reassuring to know that you have an abundance of support outside of T’Challa”

T’Challa understood what his comment meant and tried to steer the conversation. “ Did you both have enough to eat? Estelle has been working very hard to make sure everything was perfect”

“Yes, my wife and I have been very present and involved in this process with both our children. It should be the least we can do” Tolu said with snide.

“ Um Maman, why don’t you go show T’Challa’s mother the cupcakes you made, T’Challa and Jules have been eating them all night.” She said frantically to have their mother’s gone before they realized the meaning behind Tolu’s words. She followed them there and lingered for a moment before drifting to a quiet corner to try to sit and catch her breath. She felt calm for a moment before she felt a shadow above her. She looked up to see T’Chaka staring down at her.

“ I thought we could talk for a moment,” he said with an insincere smile while taking a seat. “ I see you went against my advice from many months ago. We could have worked this out before he ever found out. You now have my son entangled with an illegitimate child”

“ Last I checked, your son did not see his child as illegitimate, and if you actually spoke to him, you would understand how much he wants this, oftentimes more than me.”

“So you agree he is running mostly on hope, why have him sold on dreams of a possible marriage, a family with you. His loyalty belongs to his country first, and it seems you continue to forget. “

Alix felt her chest falling and rising as she tried her hardest to let his words not hurt her. “ With all due respect King T’Chaka, you and I both know none of ‘this’,” she said with her hands circulating the party“ was made with me alone. T’Challa has as much part in this as I do, and he has sold me some dreams as well, and his words quite frankly are the only ones that I am ever considering”

“Well, you have done that before haven’t you, and it was very clear what and who he ended up choosing” And with that, he knew he had achieved what he came there to do.

“T’Chaka, I would like to steal Alix for a moment please,” Ramonda said smiling, her voice soft, but her eyes stared at her husband with anger. She waited for T’Chaka to walk away before sitting with Alix.

She took Alix’s hands in hers, she could see that she was still shaken by the conversation T’Chaka had cornered her into. “ I have had such an amazing time today. It has been a pleasure to meet your parents, especially your mother. I am sure both of us will have quite a bit of fun spoiling the baby once they actually get here. “

Ramonda said with a smile, that Alix forced herself to reciprocate. She was just glad this conversation seemed to be in a more positive tone than the previous one.

“ I am sure she would say the same about you”

“ I do hope so,” she said, placing a box on the table “ I just wanted to give you my gift to you in person. “

She pushed the box towards Alix before looking at her expectantly. Alix stared back as she slowly opened the box revealing a small gold locket with a panther engraved into it. Alix touched it gently, admiring the shine. She opened the locket, which was empty.

“ This is a locket all Queens wear, it holds the birthstone of their first child, the heir. I have T’Challa’s, see.” The older woman slowly removed her locket from her neck and showed off the stone. Alix smiled softly. “ I wear it everywhere I go, and whenever he is not with me, it helps me think of him.”

“ This is lovely Ramonda, but I can’t take this, I am not Queen”

“ Not formally, but you already have my son’s heart, and obviously you carry the heir inside of you right now. You are already a queen in mine and T’Challa’s eyes”

“ I don’t know if it's that easy, or if I am even ready for all of that, '' Alix said, still looking at Ramonda’s necklace. She ran her fingers over Amethyst stone thinking of all it symbolized and whether she was ready to have such a similar responsibility.

“I think now you just have to worry about taking care of yourself and the baby and more importantly, everything will work itself out. As I used to tell T’Challa, do what you can and leave the rest to Bast.” She offered a comforting smile as she put her locket back on.

“ I wanted you to know that I have been excited to have you and the baby be a part of our family since we first heard the news, and it is so lovely to see how happy you make T’Challa and I hope he does the same for you” she ended standing to hug Alix before excusing herself to deal with an escalating situation.

Alix barely paid attention to her leaving, she looked at the locket once again, She was beginning to feel overwhelmed, and quickly decided to sneak away upstairs to keep her gift somewhere safe, and to actually have a moment of silence.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

T’Challa had been helping Cosette move chairs into the garden for the few extra people that had popped in. That’s when he first saw his father find Alix when she was alone. He surveilled from a distance and was upset, to say the least.

He watched as Alix struggled to keep her face from showing how uncomfortable she was. If he knew his father would only come to make things more difficult, he would have never insisted on his appearance today. He watched as his mother finally appeared to save Alix from the conversation and he waited from a distance as his father went over to his sister with a smile. He told himself he wasn’t going to say anything but instead found himself walking over to where his father and sister were.

Shuri saw the rage in T’Challa’s face and quietly said “ Good luck Baba”, before backing away and heading over to where Jules was sitting. T’Chaka turned and was faced with his enraged son.

“ What did you say to her?!” T’Challa struggled to speak in hush tones.

“ I said the same thing I have been saying to you for several months, unyana wam, but since you have decided to ignore me, I thought what better person to speak to than the source of my son’s distraction,” T’Chaka said nonchalantly

“You had no right-”

“ No, T’Challa, I have every right, when I raised you to make better decisions, to know not to go sowing your oats wherever the wind blows you. You haven’t even begun your reign as King and it is already littered with scandal! ”

“ I was not sowing anything, Baba, I love her! I don’t know how much clearer I need to make that to you. And I am overjoyed I get to have a child with a woman that loves me. Is it too much to ask for your support!”

At the same time, Ramonda came stomping over with a stern look “ Will the two of you stop it now, this is not the place, we don’t need to make a scene. This is supposed to be a joyous celebration, can you two just put everything aside for one day”

T’Challa looked over his mother and saw Alix going inside. “I thought we could but apparently Baba can’t”

T’Challa started walking away from his parents, ignoring his mother’s calls behind him.

“ Let him go, Ramonda, I don’t know where his head has gone”

“ It hasn’t gone anywhere! This was not the place for you to have brought up any of this unnecessary drama!” Ramonda turned as she scolded her husband in Xhosa

“ Unnecessary, he has allowed himself to get distracted by whatever fantasies he has created with her.”

“ T’Chaka, they are not fantasies, he is in love and having a child with her. The sooner you get on board, the easier this will be for us all.” She placed her hand on her head as she turned to look at her son disappear into the house

“ By resisting, you are pushing him away, and I will not have you make it so that he finally resents us. He is a good man, and he is doing his best to please us and her. For Bast sake, stop making it so that he has to choose one or the other”

For a second her eyes filled with sadness, before she forced a smile back on her face and began to walk where Estelle was standing. T’Chaka was left standing alone, his own anger making him fail to see where his wife was coming from. He wasn’t alone for long before he heard,

“ It is hard when they make you the villain,” Tolu said as he offered the glass in his hand.
