Summary
A beat of silence envelops them briefly, Zhongli taking another step toward him but still not touching him. The aura of the Geo Archon crackles invisibly in the air, making Childe swallow as he fights to keep his hands to himself.
“Would you like for me to scent you?” Zhongli offers then. “It may ease some of the discomfort.”
Childe proceeds to choke on his own spit.
***
Or: Childe and Zhongli are both betas. Until they're not.

How to Court a Fatui Harbinger (Like a Dragon Would) by the_untamed_poet25

Summary
There comes a moment in every dragon’s unnaturally long life where they decide, against all wisdom, against millennia of stoic solitude, against the soft hiss of slumbering tectonic plates that beg do not, do not, do not—
to fall in love.Zhongli has already lived through three mortal epochs and a dozen minor heartbreaks, a handful of cataclysmic betrayals, and once, a rather distressing culinary incident involving Sumeru spices and a brass teapot. He has watched civilizations rise and crumble like sandcastles abandoned by impatient gods. He has kissed emperors with ash still cooling in their mouths. He has forgotten entire dialects of love.
But this one—
Tartaglia. The Eleventh Harbinger. Fatui dog. That insufferable ginger menace who insists on calling him “xiansheng” while disarming hilichurls with a grin that belongs on wanted posters and in back-alley sonnets.
This one, Zhongli decides, is worth the return of rituals.
In which Zhongli confuses “romantic gestures” with “terrifying declarations of eternal possession,” and Childe is into it anyway.

Summary
She laughs, clear and bright as a bell. “Mr. Zhongli talks about you all the time,” she tells him with a smirk. “It’s all ‘Oh, I’m so glad that Ajax works Sundays’ and ‘Oh, Ajax is so sweet with Azdaha.’” She snorts. “And you! All moon-eyed over him. I don’t blame you. He’s so handsome.” She pillows her cheek in her hand.
Ajax flushes. “I don’t moon over him,” he snaps. The amount of blushing he’s been doing lately is entirely unnecessary, and does nothing to soothe his churning feelings over Zhongli and his promise for tonight.
A storm prevents Ajax from biking back to his dorm, but Zhongli is there to offer him a ride home.
