thin ice | childe x reader

reader is gender-neutral!

there are two types of ice royalty at teyvat university.

the first is you, a part-time skate guard at the archon arena rink. you also happen to be a decorated ice skater and coach jean gunnhildr's protege. or, at least, you used to be.

the second is the king of parties, being loud and rambunctious, and the one who steals all of your free time at the ice rink: childe, hockey captain of the teyvat stars.

needless to say, you hate him for it.

all you want to do is to teach skating lessons to the kids to keep your mind off the mind-melting mess with your figure skating career, maybe even get an hour of skating in afterwards as a reward. that is, until the hockey coach sits you down and tells you that surprise! you're the new team manager for teyvat's hockey team!

...it can't be that hard to manage twenty or so boys and their captain, childe, right?

spoilers: it absolutely is.

an enemies to lovers, hockey/skating au!
