Part 6

(Two weeks later)


Bucky stood at a distance, feeling out of place, as he watched the crowd perform some rituals.


Natasha was among them, performing duties of the queen. She was dressed in tribal, ancient Wakandan clothes, not exact but similar. A petticoat covered with leaves and a leafy blouse, that covered her chest only a little bit. Her hair were loose, with small braids on her temples. She was wearing beady bracelets on both wrists and beady earrings. A flowery tiara completed her look. She looked so beautiful, Bucky's stomach curled up. He wanted to be the one with her, he couldn't stand her with someone else.


But fate was, she was with T'Challa, being his queen, and ignoring Bucky as if he was just some common palace guard.


T'Challa was also in tribal clothes, wearing only shorts that were covered with leaves. His perfect musculature all bare, shining in the bright sun.


Natasha smiled, as T'Challa lifted her off ground, wrapping his arms around her thighs, and placed her on his shoulder, holding her tight as she settled on his shoulder. He stepped up on a big rock, and Natasha plucked some fruits from the tall tree beside her. The crowd cheered happily, as she dropped the fruits in the basket he held.


He stepped down, and walked to another tree, all the while, she sat on his shoulder. 


Bucky watched all of this, from a distance, he was so pissed, he punched a tree in anger, making it shake, and drop fruits everywhere.


A lot of girls surrounded them, and took the basket from T'Challa, starting to crush and take the juice out of the fruits.


T'Challa sat down, and Natasha got off his shoulder, the girls washed her hands, and served both of them a glass of juice.


Natasha hesitantly looked at T'Challa, who blinked in affirmation. She took a sip, and made a weird face, the juice was definitely sour, and Bucky knew, she doesn't like sour things.


T'Challa took the glass from her, and gave her a berry, which she ate happily. He, then sipped the juice from the same glass, as per tradition.


The crowd then moved towards a large fountain, the marble of which was very high.


T'Challa picked Natasha up, with his hands on her waist, and got her on the marble. He himself climbed without difficulty.


The crowd left them all alone there, and Bucky clenched his hand into a tight fist, knowing that the upcoming sight would hurt his soul.


Natasha lay down on the marble top, and T'Challa took some water in his hands, and poured some drops on her face, moving down to her neck, and then her belly.


Bucky gritted his teeth, his forehead creased, his breaths accelerated.


T'Challa descended on her, and kissed her belly, tracing her belly button. She went all red, looking all the more beautiful.


Bucky couldn't take it anymore, he punched the tree again, and it shook badly, leaves falling with fruits, he turned and walked away, unable to bear the sight.

"Steve!!! " Sam yell, running towards him, "look at this" he placed a newspaper in his hand.


Steve's eyes widened at the newspaper's bold letters.


Ex-Avenger Natasha Romanoff, the famous Black Widow, engaged to Wakandan King T'Challa.
According to Wakandan local media, Natasha Romanoff is now engaged to their King T'Challa, also known as the Black Panther. The couple, met a few weeks back while signing the accords, and T'Challa and Miss. Romanoff fought together against the runaway Team Captain America, however she supposedly turned sides and helped the opposite team. T'Challa being the one reporting her betrayal. How tables turned? Even we are curious.
The couple is set to get married after 3 months, on the start of new year of Wakandan calender.


Steve forgot to breathe, until Sam shook him.


"Unbelievable, isn't it" he said.


Steve nodded, there was a lump in his throat, that he tried to swallow.


"I hope.. uhm... I am so glad she found her happiness, finally " he managed to say.


"But I don't understand this, when did they fall in love? Wasn't she on the run too? " Sam rubbed his head.


"Maybe he found her, apologized and proposed, T'Challa is a gentleman, she must be so happy" Steve said, with a faint smile. He was happy, but something in his heart hurt, gave him nausea.


"Brother?" Sam put a hand on his shoulder, "Are you sure? I mean.. " Sam didn't know if to voice his words or not, but Steve understood.


"Of course, I am very happy for my friend, she deserves to get all the happiness in the world, I am so glad T'Challa looked beyond her weaknesses and at her beautiful soul, so glad that he loves her, and doesn't care about past and future" Steve said, as his heart hurt.


"Yeah, maybe" Sam said, he understood that Steve needed some time alone, and left the room.


Steve came out, with a backpack on his shoulder.


"Let's go" he said.


"Where? " Sam asked surprised.


"Wakanda, of course" Steve said, "We should pay her a visit, she deserves this".


Sam nodded, and they both set off for Wakanda.
