not what you need (but what you deserve)
T'Challa knows that he shouldnāt want Erik so badly. His cousin. His own blood. His fellow alpha.Ā
But thereās an undeniable attraction from the moment that T'Challa first sets his eyes on Erik in the throne room.
Even with his hands cuffed behind his back, Erik exudes instinctive alpha charm and fearlessness. He is almost outrageously handsome, with his dreadlocks, sculpted muscles and capped golden canines. T'Challa wonders what those teeth will feel like, scraping against his own neck.Ā
He has never wanted anyone else as immediately, as badly, as appallingly as he wants Erik.Ā
T'Challa tries to resist it, of course. Deliberately antagonizes Erik, tries to wind him up. Itās trivially easy to do so. T'Challa steps too close into Erikās personal space, gets right in his face. A couple of belittling comments (āI donāt care that you killed Klaueā),Ā insults (āI will never let a crazy person like you take the throneā) and snide insinuations (ānot our peopleā) later,Ā and Erik is practically ready to tear T'Challaās throat out, reacting instinctively to the presence of another aggressive alpha in his territory.Ā
But it doesnāt work. If anything, Erik is even more attractive when heās furious at T'Challa. Murderous rage is a very good look on him.Ā
T'Challa burns with the desire to make Erik his.Ā Burns with equal parts guilt and shame, for this desire. For what theyāve done to Erik, and what T'Challa, despite all their history, still wants to do to him.
In spite of the Queen Motherās advice, T'Challa accepts Erikās challenge for the throne.
If Erik kills him, so be it. Itās nothing less than T'Challa deserves.Ā
