One year after the events of Black Panther Wakanda Forever Riri leaves Wakanda to continue her studies back at MIT. While rising tensions continue in Wakanda with Shuri being the Black Panther after the battle on the Atlantic Ocean against the Talokans. With Riri out of Wakanda's protective custody, she may be in more danger than she or Shuri could have anticipated. But who would risk raging war with Wakanda or worse the Black Panther all for the 20-year-old scientist? ~ ~ Shuri x Riri slow-burn action romance THIS STORY CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR BLACK PANTHER WAKANDA FOREVER SO READ WITH DISCRETION! I WOULD RECOMMEND WATCHING THE MOVIE FIRST BEFORE READING! I do not own any of the characters in my fanfiction except a few original characters all rights go to Marvel and Marvel comics!

Shuri now has to deal with the passing of her brother and later on her mother. And what also adds to the stress and grief is that she is the new protector of Wakanda. All the princess wants to do is to be free for a while and be in her lab. Maybe relax with a certain nerd she's grown accustomed to having around her for a while. (Entirely inspired by me watching Shuriri interacting in Wakanda forever. THEIR CHEMISTRY WAS THRU THE ROOF IDC IDC) PURE FLUFF I HOPE. SHORT STORY Cover I got from Pinterest SPOILER WARNING: Don't read this if you haven't watched the movie.
