Summary
Childe brings it up first while they walk through the endless fall of snow, eager and confident as he always is. “Speaking of battles... You still owe me a duel!”
And Zhongli can do nothing but sigh, and indulge his beloved, because everything that Ajax is can be counted as nothing but his weak spot. “Very well, I suppose I could humour you on that at our earliest convenience.” Then he adds, for good measure. “We’ll negotiate the terms of our contract when the time comes.”
. . .
The second time it is brought up, it's in the dimness of the hotel room, sheltering them both from the storm outside. “You should know that I will never pass on an opportunity to test my limits.” And Zhongli knows, in a much more intimate manner than maybe even Childe himself.

Summary
“My family tends to be very… excited to meet new people.” Ajax had told him in an attempt at reassurance. Ever since, Zhongli had taken it upon himself to both impress those he’d soon meet, while also calming his own nerves. Unlike the Morax he’d been once upon a time, he now stands on equal grounds with mortals, thus it is a different type of victory and acceptance he seeks.
“Liyue and her people will forever be your home.” Zhongli will tell Ajax in a much calmer future. As she first welcomed him in her Sea of Clouds, so will her people, so will her ruler, so will her Earth. And just as Ajax had carved his place, secured in Zhongli’s heart, so will he find a cradle in his nation’s palms.
or, the journey of two men in love as they try to find their place in each other’s lives; “meeting the families” and potential shovel talks, if you will
