(A/n: idk how i wrote 3669 words in a few hours when i cant even do this for school but enjoy and dont play the song until they get to the dungeon)

"Wait so he kissed you?" Mal beams as we sit on her balcony, beeakfast in between the two of us as i catch her up on what happened last night. Mal was especially a fan of N'jadaka when she found out he killed klaue and brought him here, since klaue was the reason her parents were dead.

"Yes. And i kissed back...come on Mal what part arent you understanding. We also talked for the rest of the night about my time in California...well atleast the begining of it since he started playing in my hair and i fell asleep" i shrug before taking a sip of my orange juice and a bite of my toast.

While it had been unbearably hot in Cali, i missed the Wakandan heat. The sun felt like a warm blanket on a cool night compared to being in the pitts of hell, there was rarely humidity and the air quality was fresh and breathable.

"I dont undestand how you two just kiss and then... act normal?" She shrugs before taking a bite of her fruits. "Like its none of my business but when are you two going to stop playing and date?" She deadpans which i throw my head back and laugh at.

"You know how i feel about dating especially after... whatever. I like the relationship me and Daka have now, he respects my boundaries and there isnt any added pressure" i admitt taking a piece of bacon in my mouth.

"He was a entitled dick. And if you asked ill still beat him senseless regardless of what dishonor it may bring to my family name" she swears and i smile at her knowing she meant every word and would go to extreme lengths to make me happy. "But i dont think you should let him scare you from any future relationships... do you like N'jadaka?" She ask.

Did i? I mean i never really thought about my actual feelings for him just focused on our friendship keeping everything else pushed to the back of my mind. Everyone else for some strange reason seen this monster of a man, a killer, someone delusional and only capable of evil. But he was nothing like that with me, sure he had his was that was a result of trauma but he was actually sweet with me, he was playful and very smart he always wanted to learn about... everything.

Im also not sure where they got the idea that he was closeminded but he was open for nearly everything always wanting to explore and try new things. He even got this cute look on his face when i showed him new stuff.Before i can answer a semi patient Malika my kimoyo bead ring lighting up ted letting me know it was urgent.

"Sekai!" Shuri barely shouts into the screen but before i can ask she turns around facing something behind her the sound of yelling intensifies behind her.

"Shuri, you ok?" I ask shoving the last piece of toast in my mouth as i stand up.

"Yes...but erik... we were playing near the throne room and—" i cut her off trying to make sense through all the chaos.

"Did he hurt you?" I ask wide eyed not even believing it once i said it. Erik grew to love her in their own way, he wouldnt hurt her.

"No! But hes going to hurt someone if you dont get here quick." She demands and i hear the undeniable ranting of her cousin which sets me into motion. I turn around grabbing a few pieces of bacon as i run to where they are.

Im not exactly sure what i expected when i got there but N'jadaka holding one of the heirs to the river tribe against the wall by his neck with his feet dangling wasnt it. Naveen was his name and he had been a few years older than the both of us but known to cause mischeif with an ego bigger then T'challa and N'jadakas combined.
