Welcome To My Head

Someone like you (T'challa x reader)

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited but I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you see my face and that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over. (Adele - Someone like you)

I stared at him from my hiding place at the end of the hall. No one noticed me sneaking in due to my years of training and experience as a warrior.
Somehow it was pathetic. An asgardian princess hiding at a wedding she wasn't even invited to. But I couldn't help it, the urge to see him one last time had been too strong. I had loved the man at the end of the aisle ever since I met him. He fixed me when I didn't knew I was broken, he had been my safe place and made me stop running from people, from the past, from my demons.
I knew he loved me as much as I still love him. I can't really remember at what point we had messed up. I do remember the pain in his eyes, the feeling of my heart shattering at his words. We were fighting. Again. Over whether or not I would join him in a battle. I have been trained as a warrior all my life and therefore were more than capable of handling myself. But T'challa didn't want me come along as he was terrified of losing me. I just couldn't see it, in that moment all I felt was anger at being limited in my decisions, hurt at the thought of him not trusting me to judge my own abilities.
That one argument was completely pointless and it could have been easily avoided but instead it tore us apart.
It all ended in him storming off into a war that would leave him deeply scarred in his soul and body. His last angrily shouted words pushed me over the edge of what I could take and so I hastily packed my things. I left the palace and T'challa's life.
I attempted to escape myself that night, hoping to end the unbearable pain of my broken heart. If Asgardians fall in love they forge bonds that are meant for eternity and last even beyond death.

I had not noticed that being so lost in my thoughts made me step out of my hiding place at the end of the hall.
But T'challa had seen my movement out of the corner of his eye.
And as the King of Wakanda now turned his head he locked eyes with someone he thought he would never see again.
