Best Friends Boyfriend - Killmonger

Erik Killmonger

Y/n met me at the top of a roof building, we haven't seen each other in a while.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned to find Y/n. He was smiling, which made me smile. I hugged, it'd been so long since I had seen him. He was taller too, but I was still taller.

"Erik, unjani wena?" Y/n asked.

"Ndingumnandi, kwaye wena?"

Y/n sighed, "I'm better now," He answered. Y/n rubbed my shoulder and we ended up hugging again, I took in his scent, he smelled amazing, but he always did.

I slid my hands down his arms, when I reached his wrists he winced, "Aah." He cried.

I gave him a concerned look, but he avoided my gaze. "Are you a'ight?" I asked Y/n. He nodded and smiled, but I couldn't be convinced.

"Lift up your sleeves." I told him.

"What, no? Erik, hun, are you alright?" He asked. Y/n and I called each other honey, or hun for short, it was our thing. I felt my heart break when I had to ignore his kindness, I loved him, but somethin' was up.

"It wasn't a question, Y/n." I answered. He started sobbing as he pulled his sleeves up, his wrists had dark hand prints on them.

I was angry as hell, the thought of someone hurting Y/n.

"Did he-"

"Yes." Y/n answered. "He found out out I was coming to see you and he didn't like it. I escaped his grip, and ran here, to you." He had broken down and was crying on my shoulder.

This shit rubbed me the wrong way, I didn't care if he was my best friend, he's dead to me now.

"You can runaway with me." I whispered. I felt him not on my shoulder, "Two best friends on the road, I'd like that." Y/n muttered.

I sighed, and he must've felt my chest because he gave me a worried look. "Are you okay?" He asked me.

"Y/n why do you think um holding you like this?" I asked him, "Why do you think we're so intimate? Why do you think I'm asking you to run away with me?"

"What are you trying to say Erik?"

"I like you-" It's more than that, "I'm in love with you."

Y/n took a step back, he couldn't look at me. Y/n bit his lip, and I licked mine, he had no idea what effect that had on me. I just wanted him to be mine, be with me.

"Erik, I-" He stopped when I held onto his hands, "I do have feelings for you, they're there. But they're not strong enough for me to act on." He explained.

I smiled, his answer made me happy, really, really happy.

"I can work with that." I told Y/n

We hugged again. I had him now, and he had me. I still believe that we were meant for each other.

"So, what's the plan, where are we going?" Y/n asked.

"I'm gonna go visit some family."

- fun fact where I live in Cape Town 97% of black speak Xhosa (language in black panther) except for me. I have to deal with people just assuming I know the language everyday.
