Erik Killmonger x Reader: Working With Him, Then Showing Him Up

Dedicated to saltyartemis

   ERIK'S POV

  I watched as Klaue talked to his daughter, Y/N. She was very beautiful. Y/N was great. She was amazing, but she also had Wakandan descent. Her mother was from Wakanda, but her mother moved here after she fell in love with Klaue.
  As for Y/N, we were close, but I wanted to be more than friends with her. Y/N was also very reserved, so it made it hard for me to speak to her sometimes. However, I was not going to let her get away. I had to at least try to make her mine, even if it took a few years. Hopefully, it would not take that long..

  Speaking of Y/N, her eyes met my own and she walked over to me.

  She said,"Hey, Erik. Do you need any help?"

  Y/N was referring to my bags, and I replied,"No. Don't want you to hurt yourself. You coming with your father and I to Wakanda?"

  Y/N shrugged and chuckled saying,"I don't know. Dad's pretty crazy. I may just need to stay here, you know? Keep an eye on mom, but I feel like you may need some company, Erik."

  I raised my eyebrow and Y/N sent me a smile saying,"C'mon, I know you enjoy having me around. I enjoy having you around, too, Killmonger, which is why I will come. You changed my mind and you didn't even have to say anything. Do you have powers or something?"

  I laughed and smiled back at Y/N, before Klaue said,"All right, you two, stop flirting. We have places to be and by places, I mean Wakanda."

  Y/N grabbed one of my bags and held it, as she walked with me.

  However, she stopped and said,"Erik, I have to say goodbye to my mother. I'll meet you two at the plane."

  I nodded and Y/N sent me another smile, then she left.

  Klaue caught up with me and nudged me, asking me,"Do you like my daughter, Erik?"

  I admitted to Klaue,"I don't see how I wouldn't. She's beautiful, sweet, and intelligent. Those things sound easy, but they are hard to have or keep."

  Klaue rested his hand on my shoulder and gave it a squeeze saying,"I like you, Erik. You can date my daughter, just don't leave her. Got it?"

  I nodded and Klaue said,"Good. Let's go."

   Y/N'S POV

  When I made it home, my mom opened the door and said,"What are you doing here?"

  I chuckled and walked in saying,"I love the way you greet me, Mother. Very original. I'm here to tell you I'm going to Wakanda."

  Mom sat down and asked me,"Why would you want to go there? Your father?"

  I nodded and said,"Yes, but Erik is going, too. I won't be alone. I know what happened to you, and I will come back."

  Mom sighed and took my hand saying,"You take good care of your father and Erik, okay? I think Erik and you would be perfect for one another. He is different, but in a good way. Do you like him?"

  I admitted to Mom,"I do, but I don't think he feels the same. Plus, I'm not that cute. I'm sure he'll see another girl on Wakanda and fall for her."

  Mom shook her head and looked me in the eyes saying,"He won't. Trust me. You're special, Y/N. I know he sees that. Any guy that doesn't, it is their loss. You keep on moving and show them women are strong. Understand?"

  I replied,"Yes, ma'am. Love you."

  Mom smiled and kissed my forehead, before I made my way back to the plane. When I got on the plane, I didn't see my dad, but I saw Erik.

  Erik asked me,"Are you ready?"

  I nodded and said,"Yes, but where is my father?"

  Erik held open the plane door for me and said,"He had a change of heart, so I had to take care of him."

  I noticed a bag on the ground and slowly walked towards it. I opened it and saw..No..

  Tears formed in my eyes and Erik said,"I'm sorry, Y/N, but this was for the best. Now, come with me."

  Tears began to fall down my face, as I looked at my lifeless father.

  I weakly said,"N..No. I won't c..come with me. H..How could you do..do this? He..He was my..my father, n..no matter how crazy he..he was. Erik, I..I'm not going."

  Erik pressed something against my head and said,"Let me rephrase that: Come with me. You don't have a choice, Y/N, so get that pretty face of yours on the plane. Now."

  I slowly got up and got in, but I ignored Erik the whole time. When we made it to Wakanda, we were met by men who were dressed very different than what I was used to seeing.
  Erik showed them the bag with my father in it, and I felt sick to my stomach as I tried not to cry. I turned away, and we were both led inside a kingdom.

  Once Erik and I were led to a stop, I saw a man sitting on the throne. He must have been the king.
  He noticed me and I couldn't wipe my tears, since there were chains around my wrists. My wrists were behind my back.

  The king walked up to Erik and said,"I am aware of who you are, but not this woman here. Who is she? Your girlfriend?"

  Erik chuckled and said,"She's my girlfriend."

  I sniffed and replied,"N..No, I'm not. I'm Y/N Klaue, Klaue's daughter."

  The king's eyes softened and he said,"I..um..I'm terribly sorry for your loss, Y/N."

  I thanked him, but I pleaded to him saying,"If..If you're going to..to do something, just go ahead and do it."

  The guards walked over to me, but the king held up his hands.

  He looked over at me and said,"No.  That won't be necessary. My business isn't with you. It's with Erik, here. Mother, please stay with her, until I can talk to her."

  His mother, I'm guessing, walked up to me and motioned for me to follow her. Erik did not look happy with me, but what did he expect? He literally just killed my father to get into Wakanda, then he tried to claim me as his girlfriend..No thank you. I thought he was cute, until he took my father away from me.
  I know my father had issues, but geez..He wasn't that bad. Plus, he was still my father and I would miss him terribly. It was Erik's fault. What was I going to tell my mother? What would I tell her?

   2 YEARS LATER...

  I stood guard for King T'Challa, after he had offered me the position almost a year ago. Unfortunately, I did get around to telling Mom about Dad, and it was one of the worst moments I ever had to experience.
  Hearing your mom cry was not something that sounded good. It was heartbreaking, and I had to make sure I was there for him. I still have to, but she's doing better. As for Erik, oh Erik was still around.

  He should have been defeated by now, but King T'Challa was merciful with him. When Erik showed up one day at the kingdom, it brought back memories.

  King T'Challa said,"Erik, what are you doing here?"

  Erik looked over at me and smirked saying,"I'm here for her."

  I rolled my eyes and King T'Challa sternly said to Erik,"You won't be going anywhere near Y/N. I won't allow it, and don't you have any respect? You took her father's life and yet you stand here trying to take her?"

  Erik went to touch King T'Challa, but I stopped him. He knocked me over, and I immediately fell into combat with him.
Erik laughed, which only drove me harder to win this fight.

  Once I had Erik cornered, he said,"Wait..Wait..You wouldn't really hurt me, would you Y/N?"

  I chuckled and smirked down at Erik, replying,"Without hesitation. Without hesitation. That depends on King T'Challa."

  I looked over at King T'Challa, and he motioned for me to stand down. The next time Erik tried me, he got his. He got his.
