Under The Moon (Black Panther x Reader)

Chapter 5 "In A Blink Of An Eye"

Your POV

I scooted closer to him and felt my face burn even more. T'Challa looked at me with a nervous but yet loving face.

"Why would you save a useless elf?" I asked.

He touched my face gently, "You are not useless. You...you a-are.."

"Are?" By this time our noses were touching, our eyes were half closed and our lips were centimeters apart. T'Challa started to stroke my hair back.

"You are the most beautiful elf I've ever seen. Y/N...I think I'm in love with you," His arms rapped around my waist protectively. I closed my eyes and felt something smooth and soft against my lips. I rapped my arms around his neck and felt the sweetness leave my lips.

I wanted more of it. I opened my eyes and saw T'Challa's deep brown eyes meet mine. He pulled me close to his chest and moved his arms to my back.

"I'm sorry," he whispered in my ear.

I broke our hug and smiled, "No. I liked that kiss."

His arms were somewhat rapped around my waist. T'Challa smiled back and brushed his hand through my hair. I blushed. He moved his hand through my hair and to my jaw line.

I loosened up more and let him gently run his fingers against my face. "I better go," he whispered. I nodded and let him leave. I sighed.

If only he'd just hold onto me for a little longer.

*a few hours later*

~In your dream~

"T'CHALLA, DON'T LET GO," my hand was starting to sweat. I looked down at Wakanda in terror of the fall.

"I CANT LET YOU DIE. I PROMISED TO KEEP YOU SAFE!" He yelled. A tear from his eye fell off the old sky scraper.

I noticed my weight was only a burden to him and would soon make him fall down with me.

"LET GO."

"WHAT?! ARE YOU CRAZY?!" He had more tears flood his eyes. The ledge started to crack.

"T'Challa, you have to trust me. Let go and we both won't fall!" I finally felt my voice calm down a little. A tear slid down off my face.

T'Challa couldn't stop crying, "I'll kill those men for putting you on this ledge!"

I started to sob, "No. T'Challa...don't. Just let go of me and you don't have to die. None of this is your fault."

T'Challa started to slowly let go, "I love you Y/N. I'm so sorry."

I felt myself fall. I screamed.

~Back to real life~

T'Challa's POV

I heard screams in Y/N's room. I activated my suit (With only underwear underneath) and ran into her room. Only to see her sobbing.

"Y/N!" I took off my mask and sat next to her. She was uncontrollably crying. I held onto her and pulled her close to my chest. I let her sob on my shoulder. Shuri came in, "Is Y/N okay?!" She looked panicked and then saw us. "Oh...I'll leave you two alone."

She left the room. I held onto Y/N and hummed her a random tune. She started to calm down.

"I-I died...you tried to save me but...those men..." she was silent for a moment but had a few sniffs.

"No. No...that didn't happen..." I whispered in her ear. I put her hair behind her ear and wiped her tears.

She slowly shook her head, "You don't understand..."

I let go of her, "What do I not understand?"

She breathed in and out, "Most of my nightmares come true."

I got nervous, "There is something you don't understand..."

"What?"

I laid her down next to me, "I'll always save you in a blink of an eye." I held onto her. She was shaking in fear. I pulled her to my chest. I felt tempted to kiss her and I wanted more. She curled up into a ball and sobbed.

I pulled a blanket onto her and felt as if a love spell was casted on me. Even though I knew I was already in love. I knew not to get to close seeing as elves always look for respect. But she pulled me close and buried her head into my shoulder.

"Stay." I heard her whisper.

I loosened up and put my arms around her. She seemed less afraid. She played with my necklace as I watched her. She seemed more calm. I smiled at her, "No one will hurt you. Ever."

She had a few tears in her eyes but she pulled me closer. Our noses were touching. I got nervous. I can't do this. She deserves better.

I got out of the bed and just sat there.

"T'Challa? What are you doing?" She asked.

"If you need anything I'll be in my room."

She looked nervous but she nodded and laid in her bed. I left my head buried low. I felt bad that I wasn't there long enough to comfort her. I laid in my empty bed and felt alone. Some day...she will be my queen.

*Time skip to morning*

I looked out my window. It looked very gloomy out. I knocked on Y/N's door. "Y/N, it's T'Challa, is everything alright?"

No answer. I bursted open thinking about how she said that her nightmares can come true.

No no no! Y/N...don't do this.

I saw her window wide open. "Y/N!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. I looked around the room in panic.

DUN DUN DUN. HAVE FUN WAITING FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER!
