Pairing - Erik x Black!!reader Â
       Tchalla x Latifa!!Wife
genre - Body switching, jealousy, fluff ect.
summary- Tchalla and Erik visit the ancestral plane at the same time but a complication arises when both men donât return to their own bodies....
Tchalla closed the cupboard and headed back. With so much running through his mind he made his was to his own room. He entered the code at the double doors and saw Latifa on the couch with a book. She looked beautiful. Her dreads tied up in a messy bun. Glowing skin and her nightgown and socks. She looked peaceful until she looked up saw him.
âErik! Can I help you? â
Tchalla stood in the middle his bedroom foyer, holding (y/n)âs snacks and a bottle of water. He wanted to put down everything he was holding and go to his own bed and sleep but he couldn't with the unusual situation they were dealing with and definitely not with Latifa staring at him the way she was.
âIâm going to ask you again Erik. What are you doing here and how can I help you?âÂ
Her face was stern and she looked irritated. Tchalla was used to that look now. He would stare at it during Dinner and sometime breakfast. He did noticed that she was a bit nervous. As she stood up and tied her night gown gracefully around her figure she looked tense. She pushed him against the door and took her Kimono beads off shoving them in her deep pocket.Â
âErik I don't like you coming here. I thought I made it clear. Did I not? I dont want my husband to see you with me .â She looks around and for the first time Tchalla hears the shower running.
âI thought we moved on with from this.â the water from the other room stops and she pushes Tchalla out the foyer into the main corridor of the west wing of the palace.
âLeave me alone . It's over now.â She closes the doors and Tchalla is overwhelmed with emotions. He wasn't sure what Latifa was referring to.Â
Was Latifa having..an affair with Erik?Â
Erik would not do that. He loves you.
There was no way Erik would risk what he had with you to mess the Queen. Or was it something else...
Tchalla thought hard while he made his way to you. He found you asleep in the middle of the queen sized bed.The lights were dimed and the stars were bright as well.
He quietly sat your snakes down and climbed in the large bed. He had thought about just sleeping on the couch instead but he didn't want to add to the list of unfamiliar behaviors he knew you might have been listing.
He finally stopped moving around the sheets fearing he might wake you up.
Sleep don't come easy .He tried to make sense of what just happened but he found himself staring at you bare face. He doesn't even try to fight it anymore, the light from the moon highlighted your face as you slept. After a couple of seconds your arm moved around in search of Erikâs waist. You had stated before numerous amounts of times that sleep came hard without a cuddle buddy. The smile Erik had made that night when you said that still warms your heart.Â
But Tchalla wasn't as inviting as Erik would have been. A lot had happened in a matter of hours and her was quite honestly trying to process everything.
 "Erik if.. You don't sleep you won't have energy for.... tomorrow."Â
You words came out slow and slurred.
 "Ah yes the meeting." Tchalla said softly
 "Yes now please sleep.. " You had finally pulled yourself on to his chest. Even though the cuddle felt super comfortable Tchalla felt like a fraud. You were not his to feel. Not his to talk to. He didn't deserve you moaning and speaking gibberish into his neck. He wanted to tell you the truth but god where would he start. You deserved it.  Even though the king was stretching the palm of his hand on your back making small circular motions.
Tchalla woke up to you fixing your hair. Seated by the dressing table slowing parting and adding hair food and other oils to make it smell nice.
 "Morning big head" you saw him grabbing his face and groaning.Â
 "Morning Merica" His voice was rough like you liked.
 "E you got to stop calling me by my name before I take offense "Â
 "It's the morning for Basts sake women can we just be at peace! "
 Tchalla's hands flew to his mouth.
 He didn't even think about what he was saying before it came out. He had been so used to him and Latifa arguing and fighting all the time that he attracted without any need to.
 Before he could even apologize you had started checking him.
"Erik I don't know what kind of rubbish they been telling you at these elder meetings but you've been giving me too much sassy lately.. And by lately I mean yesterday an this morning. Maybe you're stressed.... I can understand that... and i'm here to help... But don't make me pay for whatever your going through..... Got that?"
 Tchalla nodes his head but you needed more than that .
 "Come on baby use your words...i need words" Your stroked his face as the wards left his mouth "Yes I understand "Â
"Now. Do you want me to take care of that" You pointed to him morning wood and t'challa got so shy. He quickly covered it up with his hands and pulled some covers over his lap.Â
 "Ah Princess you were not supposed to see me in much a state. Carry on with your hair I'll attend to.... It"Â
You both laughed. His was so embarrassed.Â
Tchalla was learning a lot from you like how a couple could have an argument and still laughter and be silly after. How you donât always have to hold a grudge with someone after a disagreement.Â
He was starting to see why Erik was so overly protective of you. He won the jackpot with you and there was no chance he was going to lose you. Tchalla remembered how a chief from the Boarded tribe wanted to marry. Tchalla was in ear shot when Erik found out about the proposal
âThe boys at the Border tribe are getting really braveâ that's all he said with a stern face
âOh please Erik He doesn't even know she is with you.â Tchalla said
âI dont care about that ....Everybody knows (Y/N)âs mine. They can't be that dumb. T what do they think she does when she comes to the palace.... â
right behind Tchalla Ayo shook her head. Not understanding why Erik wouldn't want to go public with his relationship with youÂ
âIf you feel so passionate about the girl then tell the nation you are with her...Don't hind her anymore.â
At the time it seemed silly but as Tchalla sits in front of you with your hands caressing his face he understood. The energy from you made him weak and he was fighting to not admit it. Since the second he saw you right out the shower to now he knew. And maybe that's why he started leaning into you for a kiss. Reaching up to you sending his face to your own, as your lips were about to meet yours .Â
There was a ring on the front door.
 "It's probably the food. Get ready baby. I'll get it.
Tchalla let out a huge breath and started searching for the bathroom. He stood naked under the cold water trying to not go crazy. He was practicing the same breathing runs his therapist taught him.Â
Father I can not do this...
He said it as if he would answer.
The moment he came out dressed in Eriks clothes, you had set out breakfast on the mini marble dinner table. As the slices of forks and knives sounded you filled the are with conversation. Tchalla enjoyed that . He was used to silence or condescending conversations at the breakfast table, it was refreshing to be around positivity.Â
âSo you telling me you dont think Trump and his ugly ass is hiding aliens from our knowledge.â
âHiding..â Tchalla smileÂ
âWait a minute. Are you hiding something from me... i mean come on if anyone knows anything about aliens it would be Wakanda. Erik baby if you dont tell me ..I'll just ask Shuri. â You both laugh while throwing back blue muffins and orange juice.Â
âHey You mind if I get serious for a second?â you didn't wait for a answer and just countianed
âI.... was talking with Romonda and she might have hinted that we should...... get married. Now I know how you feel about that but I think she's right Erik ... It's been 4 years. I want to be your wife now..... Am tired of these duchess looking down at our relationship just because I'm still your girlfriend..It's embarrassing..and yes what people think and say about us matters.Please Erik. We can have what Tchalla and Latifa have? â
Tchalla had no idea. He thought you and Erik had everything thought out. This was news to him. He bit his lip and looked down. He was for the first time speechless. Like really speechless. His whole Oxford degree or PhD in Physics couldn't help him. Not this time.Â
âAre you gonna say something ...or are you going to dismiss me like you do all the time when we talk about marriage.â
Your hands were folded and you were waiting for an answer
oh he really wanted to say he wasn't Erik and that he had no business in the issue. But he couldn't he had to somehow get out and go to Shuriâs lab or Jabari Land.
âWhat? you're not ready? Weâre not ready ??Am tired of hearing that Erik.âÂ
Tchalla played with his Kimono beads secretly taking out Shuri communication device she had gifted him and Erik. He slid it behind his ear and like magic he heard Eriks voice. He was singing in a low register. Raising his voice Tchalla spoke to get Eriks attention.
â(Y/N) I dont know what to say.â
âT is that you. This shit really works...Damn say something else.â
Tchalla didnt know how to inform Erik of the current situation without pissing him off.Â
â(Y/N) can we talk about this when I come back from the Royal meaning. â
âNo I want to talk about it now. Why dont you want to marry me? Am I not good enough or something? Are you planning on leaving me ..is that why you dont want to commit to me.â
âGet out there T. Am Serious Tchalla get out.â
Tchalla didnt move - he couldn't just up and leave. I mean he could but he knew he would feel guilty. Your in pain talking about something your been wanting for sometime now and he ups and leaves. Nah. there had to be another way.
âCan we continue this conversation when I return from the counsel meeting.â
You couldn't stop yourself. Everytime you brought the topic of marriage up with Erik he just didn't take you serious. That left your mind to wonder as to way he didn't want to marry you. It really did crush your spirit. You thought that maybe after he saw his father he would take a liking to the subject but you saw that he didn't. Always wanting to sweep it under the rug.Â
Your face fall and you can't hold your tears anymore. They fall from your eyes and t'challa saw how you shoulders shook .He moved to your side of the table and crouched in front of you..
â(Y/N) Please..-âwithout carrying on he took out the ear piece .
âPlease dont cry.â He grabs your hands in his hands. They were soft and much smaller. You tried to pull them away from his but his grip was stronger. Tchalla felt guilty he just wanted to make you smile again. His heart strings pulled as you tried to cover your face at this point he was ready to do anything to stop your crying.
âOkay. After the meeting let me take you to the river tribe. We can sit by the fall and talk about it. All of it.â
This was weird this was the first time Erik even wanted to consider having a conversation about it.
âOkay....just dont string me along. I want action or else ...we should just end things before I get hurt.â Your voice was small but Tchalla heard it clear as day..
A/N - Next chapter will focus on Erik and Latifa.Â
