Childe x Zhongli OneShots

Drunk

"So, you want to knock?" asked Venti. In front of Zhongli's door, to leave the drunk Childe, they were arguing about who should knock the door. Zhongli always took Childe home whenever he had drinks. There was a special bond between them and Kaeya knew it. He was using it cleverly, too. Kaeya rolled his eyes. "The man barely knows me and I don't think he likes me very much. The most logical thing to do is you knocking the door. You were once a god with him." Kaeya said. Venti sighed and pushed Childe away from his shoulders. He took a step and knocked on the door. After a while, Zhongli opened the door, frowning.

"At this time of night..." Zhongli began. Then he saw Childe and sighed. "I would have said, but it has become routine, hasn't it?" Said Zhongli, leaning against the door. "We still don't know the location of his house, so we thought it would make more sense to bring him to you." Kaeya said. Venti leaned forward slightly and brought his hand to his cheek. "He drank a little too much." Said Venti, as if he was telling a secret. He winked and stopped leaning.

"This is the last, don't worry. We will find out the location of his house." Venti promised, smiling. Zhongli sighed. "Okay, this is the last time. Next time you take care of him. Xiao doesn't really like Childe anyway." Zhongli said, taking Childe from Kaeya's shoulders. "Oh, Geodadd-" Childe muttered. Zhongli covered his mouth before Childe could finish the sentence. "Shhh!" Zhongli made a sound. Then he stepped inside and kicked the door shut.

"Thank you!" A voice shouted from behind the door. Zhongli rolled his eyes and carried Childe down the hallway. As soon as he entered the living room, he dropped Childe onto a couch. Then he went and turned on the lights. Zhongli turned around and saw Xiao. "Oh, Xiao. You are awake." Zhongli said. He wasn't surprised. Xiao would get up even if he was sleeping whenever he heard the name 'Childe'. Xiao folded his arms and began to tap the ground with his foot.

"How many times is this? Damn mortal always comes here!" Xiao complained. Zhongli sighed and headed towards the kitchen. The kitchen and the living room were combined. "Can you please keep an eye on him? I'll bring coffee and water." Zhongli said, taking out a cup. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xiao foaming with anger. "Don't worry, this is the last time." Zhongli promised. Xiao rolled his eyes and sat on the seat that was opposite Childe.

He leaned forward slightly and locked his eyes on Childe. "Oh, someone's a bit mad? Did Santa left you coal?" Childe teased. When Xiao didn't answer, Childe tried to sit up. He failed and sat back. "Mhm... when your father and I are *hic* married, you won't put up *hic* with that attitude, emo." Childe said. Xiao clenched his teeth.

"Even if my father marries a garbage like you, I will never call you dad." Xiao said sternly. Childe chuckled. "I don't *hic* need you to call me dad. Your father *hic* already calls me daddy which *hic* is enough for me." Childe said, grinning. Xiao got angry and stood up. "Childe!" Zhongli shouted from the kitchen. Childe turned around on the couch and looked at Zhongli.

"Yes, geodaddy?" Childe asked. "I swear to Archons, I will kill this mortal!" Xiao shouted. Zhongli sighed and entered the living room with a tray. "Why don't you sleep? You won't see Childe in the morning." Zhongli said. Xiao rolled his eyes and walked away angrily.

"Drink these, okay?" Said Zhongli as he placed the tray on the table in front of him. Childe reached for the coffee and began to drink it. Then he made a face. "Too spicy. *hic* It burns my mouth too." Childe said. Zhongli nodded. "Yeah, I made it hard." Zhongli agreed. "But it's no more painful than you not taking care of me." Childe said. Zhongli rolled his eyes and sighed. "I'm too tired and I'm taking care of you enough. You are just like a child!" Zhongli said. Although he looked calm, his tone was too angry.

Childe drank the whole coffee and reached for the water. "I'm just like my name!" Childe said. Zhongli clenched his fists and simply glared at Childe. As soon as Childe drank the glass of water and put it away, Zhongli got on top of Childe. He grabbed him by the collar and pulled him towards himself. "Now look." Zhongli said. His eyes were shining, his hands were black / shining orange. "You can't come to my house drunk whenever you want! I have a child, you know?" Said Zhongli in a whisper. He was trying to hold himself as much as possible.

Childe blinked a few times. Because their faces were too close, Childe straightened up and kissed Zhongli. Zhongli let go of his collar in surprise. His eyes were no longer shining nor his hands were black / shining orange. Childe pulled back and grinned. "And that child is me, right?" Said Childe. Zhongli stared at Childe for a while. His face was burning. He didn't know what to say. Zhongli sighed and got off of Childe.

"Go sleep and shut your mouth till you do." Zhongli said as he got up. "I know you love *hic* me too!" Childe said from the couch.
