Another week, another issue for T'Challa to go and solve. It was not a surprise that being the bride of the legendary Black Panther would be stressful, but still each time he boarded that plane your heart could not help but feel immeasurable pain. You stood together just past the foot of the bed you shared and waited with T'Challa as he prepared himself for the journey.

"Please do not be gone for long." You begged T'Challa as his gentle hands danced around his body as he set himself into his Black Panther combat suit. "I always miss you so much when ever you are gone. I can not take it without you here." T'Challa smiled, he wrapped his soft fingers around your chin and pulled your head forward, bringing your cold forehead to his warm and welcoming lips.

"Do not worry, I am only ever gone as long as I need to be." He held your head close to his, you felt his heart softly beating as your cheek pressed against his chest. "As soon as I can come back I will, I can not last without seeing you." He pulled open the balcony doors and smiled as the suns soothing rays cast themselves on you and him. As softly as ever he took your hand and walked you over into the sunlight, onto the ages old balcony that overlooked the great country of Wakanda.

"Please promise me that you will be okay?" He held you ever so slightly tighter than before, just enough for it to be noticeable but more than enough to fill your heart with hope and wonder.

"I promise y/n. I am always okay, aren't I? I am as lucky on my adventures as I was in finding a lover." Once again he cupped your chin in his hand and gently stroked the side of your face. "So do not expect me to come back in one piece." He chuckled to himself as you gently pushed him away.

"Be serious!" He pulled you back again closer. "Whatever my future holds, I only hope that it is with you. I am in love with you T'Challa and that scares me, that terrifies me."

"Do not be scared for me y/n. You know that as king it is my responsibility to care for my people, you knew that when I asked you to marry me, yet you still said yes."

"Of course I did... I love you." The feint humming of his jet slowly encroached from the distance. "And that is why I'm so scared of losing you."
