Summary: In the quiet sanctuary of a rooftop garden, Black Panther (T'Challa) teaches Storm (Ororo Munroe) the Wakandan salute—a gesture steeped in reverence, unity, and ancestral memory. What begins as a solemn lesson transforms into a shared language of laughter, trust, and affection. Between lantern light and starlit skies, tradition breathes alongside curiosity, and a single flower becomes the emblem of their bond. A Wakanda Forever lesson unfolds, where king and queen meet in balance, and the rooftop garden itself bears witness to a union of heritage and heart.
Series: Part 6 of You Are My Everything (A Marvel Rivals Fanfiction Series)
The rooftop garden was alive with the quiet hum of evening.
The city skyline stretched outward, its towers catching the last light of the setting sun, each pane of glass shimmering like molten gold.
The air carried the faint scent of blooming jasmine and the earthy undertone of freshly watered soil.
It was a place of balance—nature and civilization meeting at the edge of twilight.
Here, above the bustle of the streets, the rooftop garden became a sanctuary, a stage for a lesson that was both intimate and profound.
T'Challa stood tall, his silhouette framed against the horizon.
The fading sun painted his figure in warm hues, casting long shadows across the stone tiles beneath his feet.
His posture was regal yet relaxed, the embodiment of a king who carried both the weight of tradition and the grace of patience.
His eyes, sharp yet kind, rested on Ororo Munroe—Storm—whose presence was equally commanding.
Her white hair caught the light like threads of silver, flowing freely in the evening breeze.
She tilted her head slightly, curiosity dancing in her gaze as she regarded him with reverence and playful intrigue.
Without speaking, T'Challa raised his arms slowly, deliberately, crossing them over his chest in the iconic Wakandan salute.
His hands pressed firmly against his shoulders, the gesture imbued with centuries of meaning—respect, unity, and the eternal bond of Wakanda.
His expression was solemn, his eyes closing briefly as though to honor the ancestors who had carried this tradition forward.
Ororo mirrored him, her movements graceful but tinged with curiosity.
She crossed her arms, her hands resting lightly, almost tentative, as though testing the weight of the gesture.
Her lips curved into a smile, and a soft laugh escaped her.
“You take this very seriously,” she teased, her voice lilting like the evening breeze.
T'Challa opened his eyes, one brow arching ever so slightly.
A faint smile tugged at his lips. “It is serious,” he replied, his deep voice carrying the authority of a king but softened by warmth. “But it is also alive. Tradition breathes when joy is allowed to walk beside reverence.”
Ororo's laughter lingered, bright and refreshing. “Then perhaps I am breathing life into it,” she said playfully, her arms still crossed in the salute.
“Again,” T'Challa instructed, his tone patient.
He demonstrated once more, his movements precise, his energy calm and steady.
This time, Ororo followed with greater intention.
Her arms crossed firmly, her hands pressing with conviction.
She held his gaze, her laughter subsiding into a quiet smile.
The rooftop garden seemed to pause, the city below fading into silence, as if the world itself acknowledged the significance of this exchange.
Closeups revealed the intimacy of the moment—the subtle flex of T'Challa's fingers, the delicate curve of Ororo's hands as they mirrored his.
Their gestures were not identical, but they resonated.
“You see,” T'Challa said softly, “it is not about perfection. It is about meaning. The salute is a reminder of who we are, and who we stand with.”
Ororo tilted her head, her silver hair catching the lantern light. “And tonight, I stand with you,” she whispered, her voice carrying both reverence and affection.
From the garden, T'Challa plucked a small flower—a delicate bloom with petals tinged in violet and gold, its fragrance subtle yet distinct.
He held it carefully, as though it were more than a flower, as though it carried the spirit of Wakanda itself.
“This,” he said, extending it toward her, “is a gift. A symbol of trust, of inclusion.”
Ororo accepted it with a smile, her fingers brushing against his as she took the bloom.
The contact was brief, but it carried weight.
She twirled the flower between her fingers, her laughter returning in a softer form, less playful and more tender.
“It's beautiful,” she murmured, lifting it to her nose and inhaling its fragrance.
Her eyes closed in appreciation, and when she opened them, she met T'Challa's gaze. “Thank you, T'Challa. For sharing this with me.”
He inclined his head, his voice low and steady. “Tradition is strongest when it is shared. And you honor it by embracing it.”
The rooftop garden glowed in the fading light.
The skyline softened into shades of purple and blue, and the first stars pierced the sky.
Lanterns flickered to life, casting warm pools of light across stone and foliage.
Sunset yielded to night, tradition yielded to adaptation, solemnity yielded to laughter.
T'Challa's energy remained that of a patient teacher.
He did not rush, nor did he demand perfection.
Ororo's energy was graceful curiosity, her laughter a reminder that reverence need not be rigid.
Together, they created balance—teacher and student, king and queen, tradition and exploration.
The salute became more than a gesture; it became a shared language, a symbol of unity between two powerful figures.
The flower became more than a bloom; it became a token of trust, a reminder that traditions could be honored even as they were shared across cultures.
As the night settled over the city, the rooftop garden remained alive with the echoes of their exchange.
The laughter lingered, the reverence endured, and the flower rested gently in Ororo's hand—a delicate reminder of the lesson she had learned.
“It is a Wakanda Forever lesson,” T'Challa said quietly, his eyes on the stars.
Ororo's smile widened, her voice soft but resolute. “Forever,” she echoed, holding the flower close.
The rooftop garden became more than a setting. It became a symbol of the lesson itself—a place where nature and civilization coexisted, where solemnity and laughter intertwined, where tradition and curiosity met in harmony.
The city skyline stood as witness, the stars above as silent guardians, and the flower as the enduring emblem of a lesson that would live on.
a T'Challa look for the Hellfire Gala. I wanted something that said power: strong, sexy, and just a lil dangerous. Something to have everyone (and Ororo) shaking immediately.
the Wakandan words on the pants include "hope", "freedom", and "for my queer Africans". Last week saw another attack against the African LGBT community. Sending love and trying to take action where I can. Hope you're doing well.

Shuri literally beat that man into submission.
And he made a painting about the battle.
