After Childe arrives at Liyue, he checks out the sights and ends up given a task by his fatui leaders to get something from the funeral parlor. Includes: Smut, A bit of angst, mlm

'We are bound to each other by a contract.' Though Teyvat has yet to be but Mondstadht and Liyue, the world is vast. However, what happens to the rest of the world doesn't concern Childe. In his mind, he only cares for battles, wars, and blood. Perhaps the motivation is to protect his family, or, perhaps, the motive is revenge on the creature that lays in the abyss, waiting to strike at any moment. Or perhaps, he wishes to accomplish both and understand the contract set by him and Zhongli years ago despite not remembering the details. Meeting in the rain, the two placed an agreement upon themselves without an idea of how much destruction would take place. 'If either of us broke the rules set in the contract, we shall suffer the Wrath of the Rock.'

In the vast plains of Liyue and on the day of Qixi festival, Childe was aimlessly completing his missions as a Fatui when he met someone he had least expected. It was the Geo archon, Zhongli, whom he had always considered his great friend. But his mindset had changed and his heart was broken after being used by him and Signora. But what both Childe and Zhongli didn't realize, was their true feelings for each other until and till they went out on their so called "Friendly Date" for the first time. Zhongli, " I have the same feelings for you and I love you Ajax~ and if you don't mind... Will you form a contract of us being lovers for the years to come?"

Liyue, the city of commerce and stone, ruled by the mighty Archon Geo; God of War, of contracts, Patron of History, of Commerce and Wealth, the first Adeptus ...

But I'll most likely never write that.
