Summary
Yaoyao rustles in her pocket for a moment. “Alright, well I’ll give Zhongli the blindfold, and then the ‘rebels’’ countdown to hide will start. The countdown will show on your wristbands, and so will the game time afterwards.” She pulls out a simple black blindfold, extending the fabric to Zhongli. “Ready?”
“I am,” Zhongli says, but looks to the others for confirmation.
“Oh! Yeah, I guess?” Yoimiya says, exchanging glances with Childe and the Traveler.
The Traveler shrugs. “Sure.”
“Yeah, I’m ready,” Childe says, watching Zhongli fasten the blindfold around his eyes. Somehow, the black fabric doesn’t make him look foolish, or any less imposing than before. It makes something in Childe’s gut burn, and he impulsively blurts– “Make sure you don’t go easy on us, Zhongli.”
Zhongli’s head swings toward Childe, and even through the blindfold Childe swears he can feel the weight of that golden gaze. Zhongli’s lips curve upwards. “I shall certainly endeavor not to disappoint.”

While on a reconnaissance mission in Mondstadt, Childe gets roped into a game of Snowtrace. He isn't expecting to see Zhongli.
To the victor go the spoils.

Summary
“Xiansheng, aren’t you going to try some for yourself?” Childe asks with a raised brow as Zhongli piles food onto her plate. Zhongli pauses mid-motion, her presumptuousness dawning on her.
Zhongli clears her throat. “Of course, but…” Provide for her. “Xiangling made these especially for you. It’s only right that you have a good portion of it.”
“I think I’m all set.” Childe sounds amused, but Zhongli almost pouts at the rejection. Why does this bother her so? Childe has more than enough for a filling meal. But something in Zhongli still wishes to give her more, to make sure that she will have energy to– oh. Oh.

Summary
The flask was emptied far too quickly. Childe felt a light buzz under his skin. He was far too used to the heat of firewater to be thrown under the tides of the liquor. Zhongli’s cheeks were tinted a warm pink, his eyes shining in the low fire light.
The bottle was discarded nearby, lost when Zhongli encroached on the harbinger’s personal space. Childe hardly cared where it ended up. Zhongli’s lips were against his and that was the only thing that mattered to him at that moment. Fiery like the beverage was… his gloved fingers gripped at Zhongli’s jacket. He loved when the dragon got like this. All consuming, possessive, hungry… and only for Childe.
“Ajax…” Zhongli growled against the other’s lips. “Will you indulge me?”

Summary
“Fuck,” Childe says, collapsing against his pillow.
It’s been ages since he’s had a wet dream. If this were Zhongli’s bed, he’d be embarrassed, but it’s not. It’s his, in the suite he rarely sleeps in anymore, since he’d rather be in Zhongli’s bed anyway.
He flops to his back, picking at his sticky pants and staring at the wet spot on the bed. “Huh.”
So, he pretends that didn’t happen. A week goes by. He forgets about the dream, letting it fade into the ether as dreams are wont to do—until he has another.
Childe starts dreaming about switching things up with Zhongli.
