Skyrim One-Shots

He's kind, She's Beautiful, but Nords are Touchy AF

A/N: OCxOC from Elderscrolls Online! Freakin Awesome Khajiit and Crazy Gorgeous Bosmer.
*****

The red headed Bosmer slowly crept through the orange leaves. Her bow string was taunt, an arrow at the ready. Deep breath in, out. And fire! The arrow lodged itself into the unsuspecting fox.

"Yes! That makes two for me!" Altreal did a victory dance, loosening some of the pieces of hair from her bun.

"If she has forgotten, Ri'Zhan has two kills as well." The Khajiit with the voice like silk jumped down from his perch on the boulder a few feet away. He had grey fur and tiger stripes, and in the septum of his nose, he had a ring.

"Yeah, but this time I'm going to win!" Altreal walked closer to him while strapping her bow on her back. Her fingers reached up carefully and tugged on his coat to pull his tall frame closer to her. He gave her a shocked gasp, barely audible. They were so close, he could see the little flecks in her Amber eyes and he could feel her air ghosting over his fur. "I bet you ten Septims I'll get the next kill." And with that, she abruptly let go and took off in the forest, her Bosmer genes helping her navigate through the dense greenery with little trouble.

It took Ri'Zhan a second longer to get his bearings back. She smelled so sweet and she was so close to kissing him... But he had a bet to win! "Oh you're on, Altreal." And soon he was racing through the trees after her, catching a trail of her scent.

She hadn't gone far, however. She was crouched with her bow ready but not pulled back. Ri'Zhan didn't see anything, but he wasn't about to let her win so easily. He crept forward, twenty paces to her right. And soon, he saw a clearing. There must be something over there.

Slowly, he made his way into the clearing, still no sign of prey. It wasn't long before he decided there wasn't anything there. He stood up now, bow at his side. The Khajiit looked back to where the Bosmer stood, no longer in a hunting stance, which was greatly confusing.

"What are you playing at? There is nothing--" Ri'Zhan let out an ugly sound as his world was turned upside down. His bow went flying as he tried to grab at something to keep him upright and arrows began to fall from his quiver like rain. He had caught himself in a deer trap. Altreal was in a fit of laughter guaranteed to scare away the game for miles.

"This is not funny, Altreal!" The tree holding him up shifted and he cried out.... which only made Altreal laugh harder. "Khajiit does not like this. Let me down!" He yelled again. His tail was puffed out and and he was trying not to claw at the air like a wild animal.

"Okay, okay! Scaredy cat!" The redhead smirked before finally making her way over.

Ri'Zhan watched as Altreal grabbed her dagger and held it in her teeth. She climbed the tree that he was dangling from, slowly inching herself towards the trap. Ri'Zhan wasn't afraid of heights, yet being upside down was concerning him. Eventually, the Bosmer found the rope and began to saw.

"This will only take a second, Ri'Zhan."

"Just get me down!" He was getting lightheaded from this position.

"Yeah, yeah." The rope was beginning to thin, and Ri'Zhan could feel it falling apart. "Almost done."

A sudden snap of the rope made him yelp. "Wait!--"

The Khajiit let out an unflattering yell as he fell to the ground, face down in the fire-colored leaves. Altreal landed much more gracefully at his side and laughed as he spit out a leaf.

"Tasty?"

The Khajiit merely gave her a playful glare. "Very funny."

Without thinking, she let a hand reach out and brush a bit of dirt out of his fur. The Khajiit was unaware that he pressed back, much like a house cat. Altreal smirked and retracted her hand, a little pink tint to her cheeks.
