dedicated to @locoforshuri i think ur really cool and i think you might like this so please read it my mutual bb <3
you waddled your way into shuri’s lab. being 4 months pregnant, you became extra clingy than usual and your hormones were all over the place. you figured spending some time with shuri might calm you down a bit.
you walked in and instantly noticed shuri’s frustrated state. you saw the images displayed on the blue screen in front of her, and remembered that this was the project she’d been stressing on a lot lately. it was a security system for the palace. she wanted to reinforce the building as you’d be welcoming a child soon, and wanted to keep it safe so that no harm would ever come to your child.
her muscles were tensed. you slowly walked up to her and covered her eyes with your palms. “guess who?”
“oh, is that riri?”
you swiftly moved your hands from her eyes to slap her on the arm. she giggled and turned around to give you a hug, mindful of your growing baby belly.
“hello, my love. i missed you. and you.” she said, moving down to kiss your baby bump.
“i saw how worked up you looked. wanna take a break and get some ice cream?”
“i’d love to, but i’m almost done with this algorithm. just wait for about half an hour? i promise i’ll be done after that!”
you sighed but nodded. shuri smiled widely and gave you a long, passionate kiss before turning back to her work station. you waddled to one of the couches in the lab and sat down, picking up a magazine on the table next to you to pass time.
after half an hour was up, shuri was almost done with the algorithm, but then accidentally hit the delete button instead of save.
“damnit! griot, can you retrieve the algorithm i just deleted?”
“it appears the recently deleted folder has glitched for some reason. i don’t think i’ll be able to access it.”
“oh for bast’s sake!! i did not design you to be this incompetent!!”
for some reason, hearing shuri yell at griot triggered something in you. you started crying and walked up to shuri, grabbing the end of the table as you tried to stabilise yourself.
“griot, can you hear me?” you sobbed out.
“yes, queen y/n.”
“i’m sorry shuri is being mean to you. she doesn’t mean it. she’s actually really sweet. she’s just a little stressed out right now, with a baby on the way and this thing she’s been working on for so long. i promise she didn’t mean to hurt your feelings.”
shuri was never more confused in her entire life. she knew your mood swings were severe and unpredictable. but this?
what made the situation even weirder is that griot started crying too.
“i do everything panther asks for, and it’s never enough. i know i make mistakes sometimes, but all algorithms glitch!”
the sight was hilarious. just you and griot sobbing together. shuri figured out that there was a bug in her system so she resolved that to make griot stop sobbing.
at first, she didn’t know how to calm you down. but then she realised what she had to do.
“griot.” she cleared her throat.
“yes, panther?” by now griot stopped sobbing and spoke clearly.
“i apologise for my rude behaviour. even though you’re an ai and have no feelings, i must still speak to you nicely. i hope we can move on from this and still work together?”
“of course, panther. no hard feelings.”
you stopped crying after that and wiped your cheeks. you smiled at shuri.
“see, griot? i told you she’s really sweet.”
“what’s sweeter is the ice cream we’re about to have. my lady?” shuri extends her hand and you take it, walking out of the lab together, talking about which flavour of ice cream you’re gonna get and what toppings you’re gonna ask for.
*lil bonus scene cuz you guys deserve it*
when the lab is emptied out, griot plays thot shit by megan thee stallion and quietly sings along.
“i’m a bad bitch”
BAHAHAHAH I LAUGHED MY ASS OFF THE ENTIRE TIME WRITING THIS AND I HOPE I MADE YALL SMILE TOO
