Summary
“Will you miss me?”
M’Baku rolls his eyes at her question instinctively.
“You will.” She preens, leans in close. She is short, a full foot below him, and yet she takes up his entire line of sight with her presence. “You’re going to miss me terribly.”
M’Baku finally moves. He grips her hand tighter and pulls it from his chest. He doesn’t let her go, though she clearly expects that. No, instead he carefully drags her hand up, up, until her fingertips brush his beard. He presses a kiss to her palm. Her fingers curl against his cheek and he pushes into her touch, his kiss lingering. Her touch is warm, her nails sharp and clean. He can faintly smell her perfume from earlier in the day, clinging to her wrist. There’s the faint scent of motor oil beneath it.
“Oh,” she breathes.
Or, M'Baku and Shuri's relationship after the events of Wakanda Forever.
Note
So I've shipped Shuri/M'Baku since the first film came out, back when it was kind of dirty-bad-wrong because of her being younger. I'm SO STOKED that BP:WF gave us such great M'Shuri content, and I'm even more thrilled to see more fics for this pairing, FINALLY! I was going to wait to post this until it was completely finished, but I just can't wait any longer.This is my post-canon look at M'Baku's and Shuri's relationship. This fic will be chockful of my headcanons for them, and will be very slice of life as we watch their relationship develop. It's about halfway finished right now, and I don't have an update schedule planned. I hope to have the remaining chapters finished as soon as possible! Be sure to subscribe if you wanna catch my updates whenever they happen.Title from Born Again by Rihanna, because it was very fitting I felt. I hope y'all enjoy!
