#bottom!erik killmonger

Ahhhh I love when people ask me this. I feel like you're the same person who asked me what makes me think Erik is a bottom, but I could be wrong. *puts on professional glasses once again* Please be prepared for the following explanation.

To start this answer I’ll put it like this: T'Challa is not afraid to be a real man. Not to take anything away from Erik, but T'Challa is not afraid to express his emotions and he treats everyone with respect unless you’ve crossed him. Also he's the flipping Black Panther and king of an entire nation, a rich, technologically advanced nation at that. To me that's automatically right there a dominant presence.

However, if you're talking T'Cherik wise, here is some evidence.

First, take for instance when Erik first walks into the throne room and there's T'Challa sitting on the throne looking like the king he is.

Can you not feel the dominating presence here? His eyes, his overall facial expression, his posture relating to the way he sits on the throne. T’Challa is letting everyone in that room, including Erik know that he is the king, you will respect it, and no one is going to take that away from him. At least that’s what he thought at the time. But I will say I’m positive that when Erik first walked in and saw the way T’Challa controlled the room at the time, he tried not to show it but his knees probably went weak and he probably had a moment where he thought about getting down on them in front of everyone. Basically, T'Challa is radiating BDE as always.

Next scene in the throne room when T’Challa gets up into Erik’s face.

T’Challa is trying to show that he can be intimidating yet teasing Erik with the power he has. Still having ingested the heart-shaped herb, his strong senses could still figure out that Erik has a weakness: T'Challa. Look at how Erik looks at T’Challa up and down as he backs up. And as I mentioned before Erik’s lips do fall open as if he was expecting a kiss from T’Challa (which is what he wanted). Anyway, T’Challa is definitely sensing out his potential lover to see if Erik is the one. 

To the waterfall scene: 

As you can see here T’Challa’s still checking out Erik before and after he strips his shirt. Now, do you see the look in T’Challa’s eyes? He’s mentally saying Erik may be crazy, but he could be his consort and rule by his side instead of taking his position. And his thoughts are proven through his actions when he tries to get Erik not to fight him and when they are fighting he tries to get Erik to yield. T’Challa being the sympathetic king that he is probably wanted to go sit Erik down, talk it out, and possibly do the do. However, did Erik allow that? Nope.

Skip to when T’Challa comes back from the grave:

T’Challa’s standing on top of one of Erik’s ships that he knocked down himself, fire surrounding him as he’s dressed as Black Panther. Again, T’Challa is letting everyone know loud and clear for real this time that he is the true king and Black Panther. This goes back to the whole dominant presence. Do you remember the way Erik looked when he came back? I couldn’t find the gif of it but he looked shook! I mean he was shook at how hot T’Challa looked when he unmasked himself being that that’s the first time he's seen T'Challa in the suit. However, once again he couldn’t show that he would bottom for T’Challa 24/7.

Also this scene right here:

The way T’Challa called out Erik’s government name. He's still letting Erik know T’Challa has the true authority around here and he will have that same authority over Erik, specifically in the bedroom. But to call out Erik’s true name, it shows that he respects Erik's true roots and he still wants to give him the chance to be his, that they can work this out. But does Erik allow that? Nope. I say again he doesn’t want to show he’s a bottom in front of everyone so instead he chooses to fight his potential lover.

Lastly, the sunset scene:

The whole sunset scene was T’Cherik gold and no one can convince me anything else. Anyway, you see despite having to fight Erik in the end because he still wants him by his side, he fulfills his lifetime wish of seeing a Wakandan sunset. And you see while there he offers to heal Erik. Since T’Challa is technically king again he has the power to heal him and by this time T’Challa has figured out his true feelings for Erik. Do you see the way they look into each other’s eyes? T’Challa has kind of a strain in his face that says ‘you better say yes’ meanwhile you can see Erik wants to take him up on the offer and be by his side too. Does he though? Nope, because once again Erik can’t express his true feelings and knowing he’s going to bottom so he feels the only way out is to kill himself. 

To sum this up, I think T’Challa is a top because he has a dominant presence to him that’s been there since the sixties and in the MCU since Captain America: Civil War. Also, I said at the beginning too that what makes him a top is that he’s a real man because of those attributes. They have been described throughout this essay to answer your question on why I think T’Challa is a top.

I hope I did answer your question as detailed as I could. And thank you for asking.

For the anon who asked this I’m sorry I couldn’t answer it in the correct ask format, but I hope you see it and like my answer for you. 

Here you go! Sorry I took so long, anon. I hope you love it!

It’s late at night. T'Challa is sleep when he hears his phone vibrate followed by ringing. He turns over in his bed to grab his phone and see he has two messages from his lover, Erik Stevens. 

Erik: Baby, come over! 

Erik: I need you now! 

These messages now have T'Challa fully awake thinking there’s an emergency. 

T'Challa: What’s wrong? 

Erik: I’m horny

T'Challa groans falling back on his bed. He’s about to tell Erik it’s too late at night until he gets more messages from Erik. 

Erik: 3 attachments 

T’Challa opens them up. The first is a picture of Erik’s full body in the mirror, butt naked, holding his dick. The second is with Erik sitting on the sink showing his ass that T’Challa loves to play with. The last attachment is a video. He hits the play button and it starts off with Erik sticking his fingers in his hole, thrusting them in and out, and moaning loud enough for T’Challa to hear. Besides the moaning Erik starts speaking. 

“Ah, where are you, Daddy? I need you- fuck…please, Daddy.” The camera shifts from Erik’s ass and fingers to his face. He’s now bent over on the bathroom counter, head down and still moaning. He looks up in the camera making love faces. 

“Come over, Daddy.” The video ends and at this point T’Challa has a full blown hard on. His eyes are wide. It’s as if he can’t even move until he gets another message.

Erik: You like it, Daddy?

T’Challa suddenly finds the strength to move. Moving at the speed of light, he throws on a pair of sweats, a t-shirt, socks and shoes before grabbing his phone and heading to the door before he gets another message. 

Erik: I’ll be waiting 😛

T’Challa growls at the last message before snatching open his front door and closing it quickly, locking it up before hopping into his car and driving off as fast as he can to get to Erik’s place. 

He finally pulls up in front of Erik’s crib. T’Challa did almost hit a few cars on the way, but it was worth it. He gets out the car, locking it twice before walking up the porch and knocking on the door. Not even five seconds later Erik is opening the door dressed in nothing but a solid black robe.

“Hey, baby, what’s going-” T’Challa cuts him off by pushing him inside and slamming the door back shut. He grabs Erik’s shoulders and pushes him up against the nearest wall, which is by one of the sofas in the living room.

“You wake me up out of my sleep to send me a video of you fucking yourself and you expect me to fuck you like the slut you are?” T’Challa snarls at him, his accent stronger than what it already is. The look on Erik’s face entices him even more as an obvious smirk is displayed across his face. 

He doesn’t answer for a moment. He feels the sexual tension that arouses him even more. He knows that because he woke up T’Challa he’s going to be rough with him, which is exactly what he wanted. He feels his member rising ready to do anything T’Challa tells him to do. He can also feel T’Challa’s member on his thigh, feeling how big he is and can’t wait to have it inside him. 

Erik looks down and looks back up at T’Challa. “Mhm, I feel you’re very hard,” Erik says biting his lips and stroking T’Challa’s dick through his sweats. 

T’Challa slaps his hand away and slams Erik back against the wall once again. 

“All because of you,” T’Challa growls in Erik’s ear. “On your knees. Now.” T’Challa pulls Erik away from the wall and brings him to his knees. 

Erik smirking happily pulls T’Challa’s sweats down revealing his dick standing at attention. He wastes no time grabbing it, looking T’Challa straight into his eyes. He lightly dabs the head on his lips and swirls it around the edge of them before putting the tip in his mouth sucking it slowly. 

T’Challa knows Erik is teasing him. He doesn’t like slow. He likes a moderate to rapid pace.

While still sucking on the tip, T’Challa pulls Erik’s dreads yanking his head towards him. “Stop being a fucking tease.” 

“Yes, Daddy,” Erik seductively says and starts going faster. Erik swirls his tongue around his length before taking it back into his mouth. He takes in more of T’Challa while using his tongue to pleasure him.

He moves his mouth up and down on his member, using his saliva to get it as wet as he can.

T’Challa meanwhile is standing above him with his eyes rolling in the back of his head. He runs his hands through Erik’s hair lightly tugging on it, showing his approval to Erik’s mouth.

As Erik keeps sucking, T’Challa feels himself about to cum. He warns Erik as he gets a firm grip on Erik’s dreads. Erik still continues his motion as T’Challa lightly fucks his mouth until he spills his seed. T’Challa lets go and Erik removes his lips, swallowing and coughing a little bit before looking at T’Challa.

“Well damn,” he says. T’Challa strips himself of the rest of his clothes and picks Erik up by the arms again before shoving him to the bedroom into the bathroom.

T’Challa turns on the lights and bangs Erik’s back against the counter top, causing Erik to hiss and moan in pleasure to the pain felt.

T’Challa quickly unties the strings of Erik’s robe, letting it fall open and angrily stripping it off Erik. He throws it somewhere in the room before turning Erik around and bending him over the counter. Erik bites his lip, laughing to himself as he feels T’Challa’s dick right at his entrance and his hands on his hips before he feels T’Challa ram in him, already going at a fast pace.

Not expecting the sudden penetration, Erik can barely form words or make noises as he grabs onto the counter like his life depends on it. He feels his member colliding with the edge of the counter every time T’Challa thrusts his hips forward onto Erik’s ass. T’Challa hasn’t necessarily hit that spot yet, but at the speed he’s going Erik feels as if his guts are being rearranged. 

“Look at yourself, N’Jadaka,” T’Challa commands using Erik’s government name. Slowly, Erik lifts his head up, looking back at the reflection of himself bent over the counter like a whore while T’Challa fucks him senseless. A sight that both Erik and T’Challa love seeing at any given chance. 

“You look like such a slut,” T’Challa says as he slaps Erik’s ass hard causing him to let out the scream he couldn’t let out before. 

“Shit, Daddy! I am! I am a slut!” Erik screams as he lets out all sorts of moans and inhumane noises. The neighbors can probably hear them, but neither one of them care. The sounds coming out of Erik’s mouth is music to T’Challa’s ears. However, he still has another idea in mind. 

Suddenly, he stops thrusting. Erik stops moaning and instead is looking in the mirror at T’Challa wondering what’s going on. 

“Daddy, what are doing? Please keep going,” Erik begs as he pushes his ass on T’Challa’s hips wanting more. 

Just what T’Challa was expecting. He smirks placing his hands back on Erik’s hips, but instead of him thrusting into Erik, he gets his grip before pulling Erik back on his hips instantly hitting his spot making him scream.

“Shit! Fuck! Oh my gosh!” Erik screams as T’Challa has him throwing it back at a faster pace T’Challa was at thrusting earlier. “Yes, keep going, Daddy.” 

T’Challa moans himself, loving the feeling of being deep inside his partner, Erik’s ass slapping on his hips making noises, and hearing him call him Daddy. Despite Erik waking him up out of his sleep, he loves him and feels that this moment was actually worth getting up for.

“Ugh, Daddy…I’m so close,” Erik moans. More moans fly through the room and soon Erik cums on the counter. Not too far behind T’Challa is soon cumming in Erik. Once done, the pair are both breathing heavily, trying to catch their breath. 

“Fuck…that…was bomb as hell,” Erik says between breaths. “I need to make you horny in the middle of the night more often…because damn.” 

T’Challa chuckles as he pulls out of Erik. “How about you make more of those videos?” T’Challa teases as he turns Erik around to kiss him on the lips. 

“Why want videos when you can get the real deal?” Erik asks as he kisses him once again before T’Challa goes over to the bathtub to run the water while Erik leans on the counter.

*puts on professional glasses* please be prepared for the following explanation.

You see, a lot of people like to think that because Erik had violent tendencies, making him the villain, that he’s automatically the top. That is not always the case. 

Showing up in Wakanda and having his agenda, overall it’s Erik seeking out the attention and love that his own uncle took away from him. It’s possible he had no other family in America so why not go back to his father’s roots to find love from that side of the family somehow.

Getting to the point, the throne room scene. 

This moment here did not make the final cut. Boooo! However, you can see he was checking T'Challa out and his lips fall open a little. It’s this scene right here that on the inside he wanted some sort of love from T'Challa a.k.a a kiss on the lips because I’m sure he thought T'Challa was good looking. (Which he is)😉

Next, the Warrior Falls scene. 

Again, wanting more attention by going on a rant about how he’s waited his entire life to get to Wakanda, to get to T'Challa. Of course Erik does end up “killing” T'Challa, but don’t you think he felt bad about throwing his potential lover over the waterfall later? I do. And he’s angrily stripping in front of his man when he could’ve had his shirt off a long time ago, saying subliminally to T’Challa “here are my guts that you’re never going to get in.”

Next point, since Erik came with the clothes on his back, has no where to sleep and he’s king, guess where his quarters are? 

T'Challa’s bedroom. Erik has probably sniffed the sheets and the whole room to capture T'Challa’s scent. And as shown in the movie, it’s safe to assume he has on T'Challa’s clothes. Does he want to smell like T'Challa? Maybe, but again mainly to capture his scent as that’s the closest to T'Challa he thought he was going to get after he “dies”.

Last point, you see when T'Challa comes back Erik smirks. It’s a villainous smirk, but he looked lowkey happy to see that he’s back from the dead. Oh and look, he didn’t even think about closing the robe. His guts are still on display for T’Challa to see. 

In conclusion, Erik is a bottom because he may seem tough and rough on the outside, but on the inside, he’s a hurt little boy looking for love and affection from another man since his father and his actions say so. So why not turn to T'Challa since Erik knows he’s a sympathetic man and I’m sure would spoil the heck out of Erik with love the way T’Challa does with his own family.

I hope this long answer explained your question.
