Heyo! So happy to see an imagines blog writing for the nasty birds, they're pretty few and far between on here! Could I request something sort of cute/sweet with skekSo where his gelfling personal attendant accidentally says "yes my love" instead of "yes my lord" and gets embarrassed, then some degree of fluff ensues? I know he is awful but anything even vaguely soft with him makes me WEAK. Thanks!
YES FINALLY SOME FLUFF I AM.. IN DESPERATE NEED FOR GOOD VIBES.
The Emperor needed a walk.He wasn’t feeling particularly ill, or even restless. He had checked up on his experiment in the caverns, and had no pressing duties. In these moments of downtime, a walk seemed like an order. Skipping at his heels was you: his attendant. A considerate little gelfing who made for good company.
You looked up at the Emperor as you walked by his side. For now, you walked in a comfortable silence. He gazed ahead, looking as though he sad some things on his mind, but nothing so important that it was said.“Gelfling?” He finally spoke. You perked up, you ears giving the slightest twitch. “Yes my lord?” You scampered up further to face him properly as you strolled. He looked around the castle courtyard and the area where the forest met the front of the palace.
SkekSo looked back down at you. Some odd hope in you told you there was something unmistakably tender in that pale gaze. You figured it was simply the gentle look of a wise leader. Nothing more, nothing less. Still it make your heart skip a beat and the fuzz along the base of your spine tingle with the soft hum in his exhale.
“Sing for me.” He murmured. Your eyes lit up.
The sounds of nature echoed beautifully in the frontal hall of the palace. So lovely that you had feared breaking the silence and interrupting the ambiance with you voice. However when the Emperor spoke, it seemed like a breath of fresh air, Thra help you. Your admiration for him was purely that of loyalty. Nothing more, and certainly nothing less…
“Yes, my love.” You said without thinking, and began to hum a peaceful ballad before you trailed off. You realized what you had just said and your face felt as if it has been set on fire. You cleared your tight throat and tried to sing again, avoiding a gaze you could feel trained intensely on you.
You managed to choke out the rest of the song decently. What a trooper.
After that, the silence returned again, sitting there basking in the distant chirps and hoots of forest fauna. But the peace did not. You clasped your hands together nervously, replaying the scene over and over in your head.
‘Did you really say that out loud or did you just think it really hard and it felt like you said it but you didn’t and it you SAY anything he’ll know that’s what you were thinking and then it’ll basically be like saying it but worse but oh Thra you probably did just say it without even thinking (y/n) you’re daft (y/n) I cannot believe you right now….’
The Emperor stood up and started inside. You jumped a bit, startled by his sudden movement jolting you from your furious overthinking. He stopped in his tracks.
“Em… Emperor?” You muttered meekly. SkekSo beckoned you over.“Come on, my dear. Let’s go back inside.” The skeksis said, curling his claws towards him. You nodded quickly and nearly tripped over yourself getting to his side.You opened your mouth to ask where it was that you were going, but then it dawned on you what he had just said. You gawked up at him. He only gazed again again, in deep thought. Nothing said, but you swore you saw the hint of a smile.
