T'CHALLA'S POV
Lately, I had felt like my own understanding of my love for Nakia had been tested greatly. We had been married for a couple of months, but I felt like I was falling out of love with her. This began to happen when Shuri's friend, Y/N, and I started to become more closer with one another. It was just something about her and that something caused me to regret marrying Nakia. At the same time, it caused me to feel guilty and distance myself from Y/N to figure out what I truly wanted.
"T'Challa, are you all right?"
I turned around and Y/N was standing at the door, sending me one of her signature smiles. Her smile could completely turn my mood around in seconds. It was a smile that I needed. I-I tried to stop my inner thoughts and turned my attention back to Y/N herself.
"I am all right, Y/N. I just needed a moment to think."
I stand up a little taller and head for the door, but Y/N grabbed my wrist.
She asked me,"Are you lying to me, my king?"
"Yes, I am afraid I am. I have feelings for you. It may even be love, but I am afraid of the outcome. I am married to Nakia. This isn't right."
Y/N chuckled and said," Whoa. I definitely was not expecting that answer. I take it that was not supposed to come out of your mouth. Since you opened up to me, I will give you my opinion. Will you hear it out?"
I nodded and prepared myself for Y/N to tell me off or even break what the two of us had. I did not know whether I was ready for either one of them. It was better to hear her opinion now than not at all.
She took both of my hands and admitted,"I do also have feelings for you, T'Challa, but I think it may be love too. We have known each other for so long, and we do so much together. I want to be able to have you around and count on you when I need something. I know you will be there, whether we are together or not. If we aren't together, I will admit that I would be kind of devastated."
I could not hold back my smile and replied,"Me too. I want to-"
"EXCUSE ME!"
Nakia rushed into the room and looked between me and Y/N with so much disgust. Something told me she heard more than my last reply. Y/N just stood her ground as Nakia told her off. Y/N seemed calm and Nakia slapped me, causing my cheek to burn a little.
When her tears began to fall, I immediately felt the guilt again and reached for her hand saying,"Nakia, I-"
She rushed out of the room and Y/N said,"Don't go after her. Give her time. Then, the two of you can talk about it."
I sighed and she took my hand, giving it a comforting squeeze. I waited a couple of days before I was finally able to reach Nakia. All she was interested in was getting a divorce and there was nothing I could do to change her mind. I apologized and even wrote her, but I doubt she looked at any of them.
After we got a divorce, I decided to take some time for myself and Y/N told me she would be there when I was ready. I did not like how things ended with Nakia, but hopefully, she could come back around one day. I would never mean to hurt her, but it was just my feelings for Y/N kept growing.I realized my feelings could have grown stronger, since Nakia and I had drifted apart from one another for a couple of months now. In this moment, all I could do now was try to move forward.
