    Summary

    After overhearing a fascinating story about an obscure temple tucked into some corner of Liyue Harbor, Childe had only meant to have a little fun at Zhongli's expense; he'd earned at least that much after the Osial Incident. Unfortunately for Childe, his track record at outmaneuvering Zhongli isn't exactly stellar.

    There's a not-quite hysterical cadence to Childe's quiet words as he leans in closer, sweeping a hand wide to encompass shelves heavy with hundreds upon hundreds of icons and figurines depicting Rex Lapis in various forms both draconic and human, lovingly crafted and singularly, proudly well-endowed. "This is your dick temple," he whispers, for emphasis. "Just — here, in the middle of Liyue Harbor?"

    "Worship comes in many forms, as a servant of the Cryo Archon is surely well aware," Zhongli says serenely, eyes narrowing in suspicion when Childe makes a small strangled sound to avoid pointing out the unfortunate innuendo. "What god would turn away a sincere offering?"

    "The Tsaritsa doesn't have a dick temple," Childe mutters.

    Summary

    “This lunge,” Zhongli says calmly, tilting his head as he steps—gracefully, precisely—out of the way of Childe’s spear, “would benefit from a tighter core engagement. Your stance is two degrees off-center. I believe you’re compensating for your left ankle.”

    Childe, panting, growling, actively bleeding from his lip and vibrating with chaotic desire, barely stops himself from screaming, “Are you SERIOUS right now?”

    “Yes,” Zhongli replies, utterly serene, as if they aren't currently in the middle of what Childe has definitely dubbed a no-holds-barred, winner-gets-to-pin-the-other match, “I’m always serious when it comes to form. Would you like me to demonstrate?”

    “No—what I’d like is to win!”

    Zhongli sighs as if Childe has said something foolish, like “I love bureaucracy” or “tea is best served cold.”

    In which Childe mistakes sparring for foreplay. Zhongli doesn't correct him.

    Summary

    Zhongli, meanwhile, sits back in his chair, flabbergasted. “You mean to tell me in your twenty-odd years of life—” Childe corrects his age, clearly proud of his relative youth. “—you have never taken a lover?” He uses this turn of phrase deliberately, and it has the desired effect.

    Childe’s face flames. “That’s—that’s not—” He clears his throat and lowers his voice. “We were talking about dating.”

    “So you have done neither,” Zhongli says slowly.

    Childe has always been too dedicated to the Tsaritsa to find time for intimacy. Zhongli changes that.

    Summary

    "This is different. This means war."

    Zhongli looks in the direction that Childe points. "At the risk of undermining your concern, I don't think that booking a King Suite is an adequate reason to declare war on Miss Ekaterina."

    Oh, but it is. It doesn't matter if they're together together now, the point is that she doesn't know. Or shouldn’t. And neither does anyone else. Until now people just assumed one of them was diligent in making the sheets—or, worst case scenario, thought they were just fucking.

    Katya fucks with Childe and Zhongli by booking them a King Suite.
