Erik Killmonger x Reader

Chapter 12

   Y/N'S POV

  I packed a bag for Erik and me, but I hadn't seen him in a couple of hours. He told me he had something he had to take care of, yet I sort of didn't want to know what it was. If my parents were still with my sister and I, then they would've been quite disappointed that I ended up with someone like Tyler. I wouldn't say Erik, because I deeply loved him, but he had been different lately.
  Erik had been thinking more and more about his father and Wakanda, even planning on taking the current king down. It scared me because Erik didn't even realize how he sounded when he talked like that. He had paid less attention to trying to protect me as much as he used to as well.

  I didn't have the strength to tell Erik how I felt about certain things, but it was because my fear of losing him always kicked in at the worst moment possible.
  Speaking of Erik, he walked into our apartment and threw something on the floor in front of me.

  He pecked my lips and said,"Hey. You're so beautiful. Anyways, I took care of what I needed to. We should be good to go."

  I asked Erik,"Baby, what's that?"

  Erik said,"Don't worry about it. If you really want to know, it's how we're going to get through to the people of Wakanda. It's a gift."

  I just nodded, and Erik held out his hand. I put mine in his, and Erik took the bag with him.
  When we finally made it to Wakanda, Erik took my hand and led us through one of the grasslands. I saw some type of tribe before one of their people walked up to Erik.

  Erik threw the bag in front of us, and the man said,"What is this?"

  Erik replied,"Just a little gift."

  The man looked inside the bag, and I noticed there was a man inside of it. That would explain the smell on the way here.

  The tribal men placed chains around Erik's and I's wrists before I asked Erik,"Erik, is this a part of your plan?"

  Erik kissed me and pulled away slowly, mumbling,"Relax, baby. It's all a part of the plan."

  Erik and I were led through Wakanda, until we reached a large kingdom. We were escorted inside and one of the men opened a door before I saw women standing guard.

  That was new, yet I wouldn't deny it was nice seeing women in charge of something...Black women at that.

  Erik and I were brought in front of whom I'm assuming was the current king of Wakanda. The whole throne sort of gave it away; however, there was a council surrounding the current king.
  He looked at Erik and I in disapproval, yet something already told me he knew why Erik was here. Erik soon fell into how he was going to take over Wakanda and take the throne from the current king, whose name I wasn't familiar with.

  I cut in, asking him,"What's your name?"

  He looked at me a little confused, but he replied,"T'Challa. I'm guessing you two are an item? Yes?"

  Erik said, mostly in a protective tone,"Yes, we are. Is that a problem, your highness? You won't be having that title for a while, so you might want to enjoy it while you can. I'm taking over the throne. Me and my beautiful queen are."

  Erik looked at me and I smiled, yet T'Challa didn't look phased by Erik at all. That was until Erik challenged him. Surprisingly, T'Challa accepted his challenge.
  Erik smirked, and we were soon taken out of the chains, but Erik pulled me to the side.

  He said,"You all right with this? This could change everything. We can finally get respect. You can finally get respect."

  Erik rested his hand on my cheek and stroked it gently, as I leaned into his touch.

  I softly said,"Erik, I appreciate how protective and motivated you are, but what if you get hurt? I'm sorry for worrying, but I still don't know about my sister and..I don't want something to happen to you. I love you."

  Erik gazed into my eyes and said,"I won't get hurt. Trust me. I've trained for nothing else. I'm ready. You won't be alone. This is for us. You want to be queen, don't you?"

  I nodded, and Erik cupped my face saying,"Well, believe in me. Stay with me. I love you, too. We gonna do this, baby?"

  Erik let go of my face and held out his arm before I linked mine in his saying,"We gonna do this, Erik. For us."

  Erik gave me two more kisses, then we walked outside towards where the challenge would be held.
