Under The Moon (Black Panther x Reader)

Chapter 2 "Just 'Friends'"

Your POV

I started to get nervous, "Uh...y-yeah."

T'Challa gave me a blank stare, "We need to protect you. People over here have found out that there is an elf kingdom and they are suspicious that you might be the rumor their hearing about of a 'powerful elf.'"

"Oh...don't. Tell. Anyone. Maybe I should leave so people don't attack you?" I asked.

"No. Your staying here."

"And if you get hurt?!"

"Who said 'I'll get hurt.' I'm the king. My people won't turn against me."

I took a deep breath, "Are you sure?"

He nodded.

"Don't even tell your family."

He looked back at me like I was crazy, "Why?"

"Because what if they turn against you?!"

T'Challa looked like he was about to laugh, "They won't do that. Do you trust me?"

I nodded. I noticed a tear sliding down my cheek. He smiled like he wanted to hug me.

But someone interrupted, "Oooo. T'Challa's got a girl friend!"

He turned around as I saw a little hint of pink on his cheeks, "No. Y/N and I are just friends."

"Are you sure 'just friends?'" This girl teased. She looked related to him.

"Leave me alone Shuri," T'Challa said in a playful tone.

"Aww but do I have to?" She asked in a little kid's begging tone.

"Yes."

"Aw. Your no fun!" She left the room like an upset kid. But I knew she was just kidding around.

"Who was that?" I asked.

"She's my sister."

"She's beautiful," I said.

T'Challa smiled, "She is. I just hope that she knows that."

I gave a smile back. Having T'Challa around really calmed me down. I even started to notice that I'm starting to like him.

"So...I guess I'll leave."

I nodded, "See you in the morning." I gave one last glance and saw his brown eyes scan me. I felt my face turn red as he turned off the lights and left the room.

*time skip to dawn*

I put on some clothes and went to the garden. I looked around and smelled a few roses.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"

I turned around startled and met Shuri.

"Sorry to have frightened you. You must be Y/N?" She held out her hand.

I hesitantly shook it, "Yes...w-we met last night."

She nodded as she let go of my hand, "I see your enjoying the flowers?"

I kept quiet. Maybe T'Challa doesn't like me the way I like him.

"Hey Shuri?"

"Yes?"

"Do you think T'Challa likes me?" I asked.

She gave me a mischievous smile, "So you do like him?"

"SHURI!"

She laughed, "Okay, okay. I was only kidding. But, you don't think he liked you back?"

I shook my head slightly.
