Shuri from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Alphabet Headcanons (Fluff Edition)
Alphabet made by @heauxzenji so go give credit where credit is due!
Minor spoilers for Wakanda Forever
(This was originally intended to be a Shuri x F!Reader but it can suit any gender)
A is for Adventure: something they haven’t done but have always wanted to
Shuri's always wanted to go ice skating. So when you showed her the bookings and took her from her lab for the weekend to go she absolutely blew up. When you got on the ice it was a different story however because she just would not let go of you. She eventually got her bearings and she was skating circles around you.
B is for Butterflies: How they act when they’re nervous
She's convinced she doesn't act nervous around you at all. But you know she's nervous when she stares at her tablets and screens in the lab, occasionally looking up and meeting your gaze. Whenever you both do she turns this adorable red and she goes back to wiring which you find absolutely amazing.
C is for Crush: what is it like when they have a crush? How do they know/act?
Similar to B, she throws herself into her work and tries to ignore the feelings. Whenever GRIOT tells her you've arrived into the room she specifically focuses on her work. But she likes to give you smiles and winks to hint towards her feelings and more
D is for Date: describe an ideal date for them
She'd love to go to the cinemas and laser tag too. She's so intrigued in electronics that she'd flip if she saw the big screen at the cinemas and heard the surround sound of the speakers. And when you'd go laser tag, although she'd most likely walk into walls due to how amazed she is, she'd be at awe with how the game works and get shot a lot as a result (which would cost you the game but you love her a lot)
E is for Essential: what is one thing they could NEVER go without
She could never go without your hugs for a certain amount of times. You have to be on standby in case she needs that special hug from her special someone. She's also just a bubbly person so she's happy you always give in
F is for Favorite: a favorite anything- food, place, smell, book, etc.
Her lab is her most favourite place to be when you're in Wakanda. She's always vibing to American music which a lot of the wakandans aren't a big fan of but her lab is her safe space and you enjoy the music just as much as her. She just loves to tinker away for hours and hours in there, sometimes even falling asleep which would mean GRIOT would bother you again for the 3rd day in a row to let you know she had fallen asleep.
G is for Giggle: how they laugh/what makes them laugh
Her laugh is purely contagious and she could laugh for an hour straight if she wanted to. She finds some of the most simplest things funny so you always throw cringey pickup lines or jokes that have stupid answers to break a tense situation which makes you smile too.
H is for Holding Hands: Do they like holding hands? Are their hands warm or cold? Pinky promises?
She's in the middle with holding hands. She loves the hugs, she loves to just exert her happiness with squeezes. She does it occasionally when moments come when you hold hands, but she's prefers hugs. Her hands are always moderately warm because she works so much in the lab.
I is for Inside Joke: something they do that everyone thinks is funny but they don’t understand
She cannot stand still which has caused a lot of people to say she's like a penguin. She's constantly shifting around in place or moving small little distances, moving parts of her body. She doesn't understand the 'penguin' comments, and every attempt at explaining to her what it means is just met with even more confusion.
J is for Jinx: Are they Superstitious?
Very superstitious. Considering the fact she found out Riri had miraculously built a vibrainum detector in a few months and then literally met a god, she believes in a lot of things. Not that she didn't when you both started dating, she'd always tell you about stories she believed in, but she's started to believe in a lot more other things such as ghosts and other mythical creatures.
K is for Kiss: how do they kiss?
Her kisses aren't long lasting, just little pecks and an occasional few seconds kiss, but when you do get them they're the most important thing to you. They're super soft and compassionate and she makes sure they have a lasting impact with you because you are her world.
L is for Love Languge: what is their love language? How do they give and how would they like to receive love?
Just being together is really what she wants. She understands you can't be together all the time, but being in the lab for an hour or 2 will give her the comfort she deserves. She loves when you help with her creations. Especially after the whole Talokan situation she's been a lot more clingy but you've accepted her needs and she loves you even more for being there for her.
M is for Meant to be: how/when they know someone is “the one”
She goes on and on about how she ships Aneka and Ayo and she just senses the tension between the two. When she's around you she'll drop subtle hints of 'true love', words, sometimes phrases. She doesn't think you catch on, but you definitely know what she's implying and you adore it.
N is for Nickname: a nickname they would have or their favorite thing to be called
Although she doesn't like it, you like to call her princess all the time. Although it's formal and she's complained at you countless times for doing it, you can't help but smile at her remarks and begs for you to stop calling her it.
O is for Organization: are they clean or messy?
It depends. Sometimes you find the lab in absolute, clean, pristine condition and the next second it will be a giant mess. Lots of the times the mess is because Shuri has just come up with some revolutionary idea that means she's going to turn the whole place upside down, so you just accept the chaos that is her melancholy, long working hours in the labs on those days.
P is for Pet Peeve: What’s something they absolutely CAN’T stand?
Spelling mistakes. Spell a word wrong or use a wrong version of 'there' or 'your' and she'll be on your ass until you change it. She even does it with you and constantly bugs and nags you until you change it. Sometimes you actually kind of enjoy it and just love her constant whining over one word you spelt wrong in your entire college essay.
Q is for Quiet: What do they do for peace of mind
She will either go to you or M'Baku. 90% of the time she goes to you because she loves you so much to the point where you keep her at peace a lot of the time. The 10% is just in case you're not around and because M'Baku is the closest to a mentor figure for her.
R is for Rainy Day: Do they like rain? What about storms? How would they spend a rainy day?
She loves the feel of rain and will drag you out into it even if you don't want to go out. She just loves the aftersmell and there's not much rain in wakanda so she savours every moment of it. When its stormy however she goes straight to you and you snuggle together because she's absolutely terrified of the thunder and lightning and you just stay with her until she feels most at peace.
S is for Soft: Describe their softest feature
Her softest features are her hands. It's contradictory as she works with her hands for most of the days so you think they'd get worn and tired out, but they're actually really smooth to the touch. That's why when you hold hands or do anything that involves hands really, you cherish those moments because you love them.
T is for Telephone: are they a talker or a texter? How often do they use their phone?
Both. There is no in between. Because she is such a tech addict she'll gladly do both, depending on if she's in a super talky mood if you're away, or if you're hanging in your wakandan bedroom and she's too focused on a project to break her train of thought and call you. She uses her phone quite a lot and you can't get away from the animal videos she sends you.
U is for Unique: a random quirk they have
Due to her using her hands so much to work, they're always super shaky. They're not cold, she just uses them so much that it's got to a point where her hands just shakes on its own. You find it cute when she's taking a selfie of the two of you together and it ends up coming out blurry, which you both just laugh about and continue reattempting to take it again.
V is for Valentine: Are they the type to celebrate or not?
Absolutely. She will create homemade gifts, gadgets, anything that will help you on the day. Chocolates and flowers? Nope- for her she'll put her heart and soul and make something homemade and spend time on it for the special day. And you love her for it. And she loves you when you give her flowers and chocolate for the day because she loves them from you. She just feels guilty when she doesn't make you anything homemade.
W is for Wholesome: something extremely pure about them that makes you just *uwu*
She's super caring. When you've seen her interacting with some of the wakandans on her daily walks she's super soft and kind with every single one of them. Similar with animals that some times rest at the shore. You're convinced she'd take care of everyone - if she's in the right mood
X is for Xenia: How they would entertain a guest/show hospitality
She'd be super bubbly and bouncy. She's very extroverted in these moments. She likes to let her presence be known, after all she is the princess. She also just likes to show off her Black Panther powers which you just find super hot.
Y is for Youth: A fond childhood memory they have
Her fondest childhood memory would likely be one where her, T'Challa, Ramonda and their father would all go down to the shore and have picnics, spending time as a family. She sometimes reminisces when she's down there, but you let her know you're there, and you're not going anywhere. You also reassure her that all 3 of them are watching over her and she's safe.
Z is for Zzz: Sleep habits. Do they cuddle in their sleep? Talk? What do they dream about?
She cuddles a lot with you. It let's her sleep and she falls asleep faster when she has you by her side. She tends to talk a lot in her dreams about you, but she tends to have more nightmares which you can help with just a soft wake up as to not startle her and then some reassurance she's okay and nothing bad will happen. After the whole talokan incident was when the nightmares started happening more frequently so you'd offer hot coco or just stay up with her.
