Are you comparing us to a parent/kid dynamic. I mean whatever you're into, your majesty.

[ he usually defaulted to a smart ass setting, especially when he felt unsure about something. emotions were still a difficulty for him and he needed to work through a lot of things. ]

You just ruined all my new dreams here. I was already thinking of panther cub names. All gone. Cut down in the prime.

[orphanking]

...Sometimes I just can't take you.

[He's dealing with a patient individual here. Bucky can take all the time he needs to sort things out, and if he needs him, T'Challa was there to help.]

My dear James, if you want one so badly, go into the jungle and find yourself one. I think we both know how well that'll turn out.

[jamesbbarnes]

[ A smirk came to his lips as he considered a few things. ] I won't say it's not an effort but with some proper preparation sure can.

[ Now he let out a sigh even if he did rather enjoy the 'dear' part. More his time period than anything current. But he enjoyed pet names. Not that he let onto it or anything, he had a more grumpy reputation to uphold. ]

Just how many panthers are in that jungle of yours? What else is in there? Are there can created things? Things only native to Wakanda?

[orphanking]

[...If only Bucky could see T'Challa's face right now.] And with being said, you just lost all your topping privileges.

[It's a fitting punishment if you ask him.]

I think that's something you should experience for yourself. Maybe one day I'll take you. If you behave.

[jamesbbarnes]

[ Rather than be too upset by the 'threat', Bucky only chuckled. ] That won't last long and does that mean you haven't lost your privilege, honey bunch?

Behave, you say? Do I ever? Better yet, are you sure you actually want me to?

[orphanking]

No of course not. I'm still allowed to top you, sweetheart.

I cannot answer that question truthfully and not question my own sanity.

[jamesbbarnes]

It won't be long till you want it the other way.
I give it two days tops.
Especially after one of those long ass meetings of yours.

[orphanking]

James...

[To be honest, Bucky wasn't wrong. There were quite a handful of days when T'Challa just needed...help 'unwinding'. Long meetings normally being the cause.]

You're far too confident for your own good.

[jamesbbarnes]

Mostly, I just know how to call out bullshit.

[ Probably not the way most would speak to a king but then again not many would do things he DID with a king either. He hadn't landed in a dungeon or anything. ]

Besides, do I have any reason not to be with the way you look at me? Even your guards have noticed and smirked at me.

[orphanking]

Stop your lies at once.

[Yeah...he may have noticed those knowing smirks between the Adored Ones and Bucky. He doesn't see that working well in his favor.]

You just may end up sleeping alone, in that I'm perfectly capable of spending the night in my office.

[jamesbbarnes]

[ The smirk remained on his face because he knew T'Challa didn't really mean his 'threat'. ]

You might want to try some new threats that I might actually believe. You won't do that because you know the nightmares are worse when I sleep alone.

[orphanking]

[ Damn. James had him there, not that T'Challa had been serious, but the counter had been a good one. And also, he'd hate to give up a night in bed with the super soldier, whether it was spooning James or vice versa. ]

So they are. Fine then, no more plums.

[jamesbbarnes]

[ A rather smug look filled Bucky's face but it quickly faded away when T'Challa continued. Not the plums. ]

Now you're just fighting dirty, your majesty.
Did you know plums help with memory? Kinda the reason I started eating them in the first place. Didn't take me long to learn how to use google search.

[orphanking]

Is that why you think I won't keep the plums out of reach?

Avocados and blueberries are just as good for the same reason.

[jamesbbarnes]

Damn. I was kinda hoping you wouldn't know that.
Why do you want to hurt me, T'Challa?

[orphanking]

Hurt you? Never. But I take great joy in teasing you.

[jamesbbarnes]

Sometimes your teasing does hurt me.
Just so you know.

[orphanking]

I'll tread more carefully from now on. The last thing I'd want to do is hurt you.

[jamesbbarnes]

Only sarcasm, your majesty.
But the sentiment is appreciated.
