Erik Killmonger x Reader x T'Challa: Holding Down the Throne

Dedicated to saarriah

   Y/N'S POV

  I giggled as my boyfriend and King of Wakanda, T'Challa, tried on different attires for a huge dinner that was going on tonight. T'Challa looked like a clown in most of the things he tried on, but he was feeling himself in some of them.

  T'Challa said to me,"Don't laugh, my love. It makes me feel like you're making fun of me. Like you're embarassed of me."

  I got up and wrapped my arms around his waist saying,"Aww, baby. I could never be embarrassed of you. Not with that accent. I was only laughing because of your different poses and faces you were making. Promise."

  T'Challa leaned back into my arms and said,"That makes me feel much better. Are you going to wear that?"

  I nodded and T'Challa smiled, before he took my hand. He led me towards where the dinner would be held, but my mind went in another direction when I noticed the sunset.
  It reminded me of..Erik. See, Erik had sent me here on a mission a few months ago, but let's just say it failed. He was a close friend of mine and the only friend I had for a while, but then that was until I had arrived here.

  Everyone seemed like family and possessed a welcoming attitude. I, actually was quite afraid of what Erik would do if he found out I was still alive. He probably thought I was gone, given I never contacted him back.
  I, also didn't plan on falling in love with T'Challa and becoming queen, but that happened. Technically, we were married, yet I just hoped Erik wouldn't come here ruining it.

  T'Challa could tell I was thinking and pulled me in for a sweet kiss. I kissed back and stroked T'Challa's cheek slowly.
  T'Challa brought my hand to his shoulder and held onto the kiss.

  I let him and he pulled away, asking me,"What are you thinking about?"

  I sighed saying,"Nothing, dear."

  T'Challa nodded and I stole a kiss from him, then Shuri caught up with us saying,"Brother, Y/N, it's the council. There's an outsider here. He claims he killed Klaue."

  T'Challa sighed and led me to the throne room, where the whole council was. I sat down beside T'Challa, in my own chair, which was quite unique.
  T'Challa reached over and held my hand, as he talked to the council. I smiled, but my smile dropped when Erik was escorted into the room. T'Challa didn't know Erik yet, but I knew Erik very well.

  He said,"Y/N!! It looks like someone is moving up in life. You forget to call me back?"

  T'Challa stood up and asked me,"Y/N, what is he talking about?"

  Erik chuckled and smirked at me saying,"Oh, your girl Y/N here, she was working for me. I sent her here to get some information and find out what this place was about, but I figured she had gotten too attached from the lack of replies. No matter, because I'll deal with her later."

  T'Challa immediately got in Erik's face, while he still maintained a firm grip on my hand.

  T'Challa threatened Erik by saying,"You won't be doing anything to my wife. I don't care that you brought Klaue here, but you will not earn my respect or get anything out of me. Not talking about my wife like that. I don't care whether she was working for you or not, because I know where her heart is. It's with me and this country. Not for someone like you."

  I smiled at T'Challa, even though I knew on the inside he was uneasy by the fact that I once did work for Erik.

  Erik glanced at me then back at T'Challa saying,"We'll test that. Me and you gonna challenge, and we'll see who deserves mantle as king. When I do get the mantle, your wife will be my queen."

  T'Challa wanted to hit Erik, but I held his hand tighter.

  As T'Challa left to go get ready for the challenge, Erik said,"I would say your goodbyes now if I were you."

  I immediately frowned and looked back to where T'Challa left off to.

   NOT TOO MUCH TIME LATER..

  I sat in T'Challa and I's bedroom sobbing loudly, enough for the whole kingdom to hear. Erik had won the challenge and T'Challa..T'Challa, my dear love, was dead. He was gone..

  This was all my fault. I should've known Erik would come here. I could've stopped him. I..I could've done something..

  Ramonda rushed into the room and held me; however, she had explained to me how Shuri, Agent Ross, Nakia, and her were leaving.
  I wanted to go, but I couldn't. Maybe it was because I felt like T'Challa would come back. He..He had to..

  I made my way to the throne room, as to which Erik was sitting in T'Challa's chair.

  I held back even more tears and Erik chuckled saying,"How does it feel, Y/N? You good? Need some water?"

  I painfully said,"Erik, p..please stop. Don't r..remind me. You can't send those weapons out there. You'll kill millions of people."

  Erik got up and walked up to me, before he rested his hands on my hips. I immediately pushed his hands away, but Erik was stronger than me.

  He rested his hands back on my hips and squeezed them saying,"You know, I've always thought you were beautiful. The eyes. The hair. The smile. You really have everything, and I'm glad T'Challa is gone. You're my queen now."

  I slapped Erik hard across the face and warned him,"I will never be YOUR queen and if you touch me like that again, I'll find some panthers and make sure they're hungry."

  Erik just held his cheek and smirked, while I rolled my eyes and walked out of the throne room.
  He irritated me so much and the fact that he just thought I would be all on his side amazed me.

  Erik was crazier than what he used to be, or was it the same? I just knew he wouldn't lead Wakanda in the right direction.
 
  Not too far ahead, we had ended up in a battle with W'Kabi's people.

  I heard Shuri yell,"Y/N??"

  I was pushed onto the ground and groaned in pain at how I landed on my side. I looked up and my spear was a few feet away from me.
  One of W'Kabi's men laughed and went to do something, but he was thrown to the side.

  I smiled saying,"Panther.."

  Black Panther helped me up and said,"Hi. You help Shuri and Nakia. I'll handle Erik."

  I nodded and watched as Black Panther rushed off after Erik, who was about to hurt Shuri. Black Panther pushed Erik and they went down towards the train railway.

  AFTER THE LONG, YET SIGNIFICANT BATTLE.. ( Sorry about all the time skipping, guys. I don't want to lose anyone's interest, lol)

  T'Challa was able to get his kingdom back, but Erik didn't make it. T'Challa took Erik to see the sunset, like his father told him so much about growing up.
  It was very sweet of T'Challa, given most heroes wouldn't have done something like that. Reminded me why I loved T'Challa so much.

  T'Challa walked up to me and asked me,"You ready to become my wife, officially?"

  I chuckled and smirked at T'Challa,"Boy, what you talking about? I've always been your wife. We've been married this whole time. We just didn't make it official."

  T'Challa laughed and pecked my lips twice saying,"Okay, Y/N. Okay. Whatever you say. Whatever you say."
