Skyrim One-Shots

Ulfric x Reader ~Days off~

An arm slung around your shoulder easily and his other relaxed against his side, Ulfric was at his best. No war hung over his shoulders. No impending doom, no deaths of soldiers, no battle plans. The Thalmor were gone and the moot was quickly approaching. Windhelm had been cleaned up and the populace, even the dark elve and Argonians, were granted much better lives. The Nords of the city had finally got a stern warning and a law from Ulfric to be kind- he wanted no more war and no more suffering.

Save for the Thalmor. Every since race could agree upon that, even some of the Altmer population. Currently, he was forming an alliance with Valenwood to kick out the Greensleeves that had made themselves comfortable and appoint better rulers that weren't so... Intense.

Those forces of his had volunteered to take the march, had taken up arms with their own purposes and had grins as they did so.

Ulfric already had High Rock on his side along with the Redguards the instant he started caring more about his general people, not just Nords. You had a big hand in that, with your soft smiles and gentle words of advice.

Galmar let out a loud laugh at the bench across from you both, Ralof at his side breaking out a cackle as well at the telling of a rather idiotic story from the housecarl. Your hands in your lap fidgeted as a habit, your fingers adjusting the ring on your finger. Ulfric glanced to you, that dazzling, charming grin on his face. This was one of the times he was himself, not his titles. This was Ulfric, and only Ulfric.

It was not the Jarl of Windhelm, a stern and frost-faced man. It was not the future High King, with confidence in himself and a strong voice as he spoke of what was to come. It was not even Ulfric Stormcloak, a man of many scars and battles, tortures and failures.

This was Ulfric. This was him, at one of his deepest elements. With the one he cared about, and the few he could stand.

Your stomach flipped lightly as he spoke quietly, letting Galmar and Ralof continue talking. "You haven't eaten yet, have you? This inn happens to have some of the best food Skyrim has to offer, I'll have you know. I'd be a shame to let this oppertunity slip away. I know how huffy you get when hungry," he teased.

You smiled, a bright, breath-taking thing, leaning into him. "I'll take that offer. And an ale."

"____," he gasped dramatically, "you're serious? I've never seen you drink anything but wine!"

You rolled your eyes, face flushing. "I figured I should at least try it."

"Going to get a sider with it too?" Ulfric questioned.

You bit your lip. Those shots were what usually knocked people out, not the ale. Then, you nodded. "Yeah. Why not?"

"I wouldn't recommend getting fire," he advised with a chuckle, though he didn't try to even stop you from drinking a bit. That was his thing- he wasn't there to take away your freedom. That wasn't love in his eyes. He didn't care if you could cook, if you could clean. He cared about you.

Galmar and Ralof seemed to snap back into a group conversation once Ulfric had called over a waitress and you ordered some food and your drinks, along with everyone else. When given the option of siders; berry, thistle, snow, iron, blood, steel, and fire, you choose steel. Both Galmar and Ralof went reeling at your choice, and Ulfric wheezed.

He'd told you one thing- sharp was bad, so you just barely went under it. Talos, unless he was severely underestimated you, you were going to get plastered just by the ale, but a steel sider? Even he could barely get back a few of those before he was black-out drunk!

Siders weren't their actual names, as you have very quickly learned (you were very naive and innocent upon meeting Ulfric and drinking was like committing murder), and were actually small drinks that were made with much harder alcohol that you took in one quick swallow. 

"Steel," Galmar gaped, "you serious? You haven't ever even drank before, ____!"

"I can barely do iron!" Ralof barked. "It burns so bad!"

You flushed. "Well, it's not like I'm probably ever going to do it again."

"I hope you don't pass out," Ulfric commented rather cheekily.

In a few minutes, drinks were handed out from the server (food would come a bit later) and your sider, you would admit, was a bit intimidating. It was a greyish-blue, and upon sniffing it, it hit your nose sharply.

"Oh, goddess," you breathed, looking at the shot with more than a bit of hesitance. 

"Good luck with that," Galmar wheezed.

"Galmar, don't sass my wife," Ulfric chuckled jestfully. 

Ralof shivered. "I cannot believe you're actually considering that, ____. I can't even smell those."

"Oh, you're just a wuss, Ralof," Galmar cackled. "I think everyone-"

Abruptly, you tilted your head back and splashed the liquid down your throat, the burning sourness hitting you immediately as you made a face and Ulfric wheezed, looking away from you and leaning his elbow on this table before covering his face with his hand.

You let out a surprised yelp, "That's awful!"

"I told you!" Ralof barked.

Ulfric pulled back from his position and pulled you closer to his side, shaking his head with a smile. 

"You're such a dork."

"You're a... uh, a plant?" you questioned.

"Am I?"

"No, no, a rock!" you claimed, giggling.

"Right then, I can work with that," Ulfric laughed.

"What about a squirrel?" you offered.

"I thought you had decided this!" he cried.

"I don't know!" you yelped back.

"You've made me go through an identity crisis."

"What, choosing between a rock and a squirrel?" 

"Yes," he claimed. "I connect more with a squirrel, though."
