A Simple Wager

Summary:

On a routine commission, Childe proposes a bet to liven things up between himself, Zhongli and the Reader.

Notes:

This is written as a reader insert, with the reader as Lumine/traveller. I wrote this purely for myself some time ago, but of the things I wrote before joining the fandoms this is one of my favorites. This was also the first time I'd written either Zhongli or Childe.

Work Text:

“But, but Traveler.” Paimon whined. “I don’t like when you go off without Paimon.”

You sighed, patting your companion on her head. “Paimon, I’ll be alright, okay? It’s just a few hillichurl raiding parties. Easy stuff. Besides, Zhongli and Childe are going with me; that’s practically overkill with the three of us. And Xianling needs your help at WanMin with her dad being sick.” You smiled. “She’s already promised you as much food as you can eat, hasn’t she?”

The little floating girl nodded, starting to smile around the watery eyes. “She did…” Little fists landed on her hips as she floated up to meet your eyes. “But I don’t like that…that Fatui is going with you. Why couldn’t you ask someone else to help you and Zhongli?”

“Aww, Paimon. I’m hurt.” A voice called out from behind you. You turned, lips curling into a smirk to see the aforementioned Harbinger making his way to you, the ‘retired’ Archon just a step behind him. “You know I wouldn’t hurt my Comrade.” He grinned, the expression not quite reaching his eyes in the right way. “At least, not without a direct order. And nobody is paying attention to her activities here anymore.”

You rolled your eyes. “Yeah, that’s reassuring, Childe. Good thing we both know that I can wipe the floor with your ass if I need to.”

The redhead took a step back, one hand over his heart as he made an over dramatic gasp. “Girlie! You wound me. Our sparring sessions aren’t supposed to be serious; you don’t know if you still can or not.”

You shook your head, turning back to Paimon. “I promise, I’ll be fine. We’ll be back in the morning, tomorrow afternoon at the latest. And I’ll even set aside a larger portion of the commission fee for you, a special treat, deal?”

At the promise of a prize, the little woman’s eyes lit up. “Promise?” At your solemn nod, she did a happy spin in the air, turning to head to the entrance to WanMin where Xianling was waiting. You waved at the pair before turning to match strides with the two men.

The three of you stayed mostly quiet as you made your way to the western gate of Liyue Harbor, Zhongli occasionally breaking the silence to tell you some random bit of trivia about something you passed and Childe whistling some tune as he walked at your other side. After you’d made the climb up the stairs towards the pass through Mt Tianheng, Childe finally spoke up again. “So, how’s it feel to be out without your babysitter, Girlie?”

You shook your head. “Guide, Childe. The word you’re looking for is guide. And it’s nice.” You stretched your arms over your head, feeling the vertebrae in your upper back pop slightly. “I mean, Paimon is great and all but we’d have heard nothing but her complaining about you the whole time.”

The Harbinger scoffed. “I’m surprised she didn’t insist on coming with us since I was. Even stomping her little foot in irritation.” He paused, a manic grin on his face. “Looks like we found the first camp already.” He held up a hand to stall you and Zhongli. “Wait, wait. I have an idea. And we should be far enough away that they can’t see us yet.”

Zhongli and you shared a look, the older man finally shrugging a shoulder noncommittally. “What is it, Childe?”

Childe’s grin grew wider still. “I propose…a wager.” You felt your eyebrow raise in suspicion, but you couldn’t help but notice how the suggestion caught the attention of Zhongli. Of course, the God of Contracts would be intrigued; what was a wager if not a contract of sorts?

Seeing he had his audience’s attention, the redhead continued. “We keep a tally of our kills; by the time we finish the commission whoever gets the most gets to request a boon from the other two.”

“No.” You said simply. There was no way were you going to let a Fatui Harbinger have a boon to hold over your head.

“Oh come on, Traveler.” Childe pouted, though his mouth kept going. “Listen, we can even tell what boons we’d want before we agree to this; no strings attached until we all are in agreement.”

Zhongli cleared his throat. “I’d be content with a dinner at Luili Pavilion, paid for by Tartaglia, of course.” His eyes turned to you. “And if you accompany me to YunJin’s next opera we would call our end of things satisfied.”

You had to admit, that didn’t sound too bad. If that was the kind of thing on the table, maybe you could go along with it. “Alright, fine. There is a new sword at Hanfeng I had my eyes on, but it was pretty expensive.” You turned your eyes to Childe. “You could get it for me, and Zhongli, you could help me gather the materials to get it improved, yes?” At the nods, you stood back, crossing your arms over your chest as you waited for the final conditions.

Childe nodded. “Alright, alright. I can work with those. As for me…I want you both.” Zhongli and you looked at each other in confusion, then back to the redhead.

“You want us to….?” You started, trying to lead him into finishing what you thought was a partial thought.

Childe laughed softly when he looked at the two of you again, his eyes held a familiar lust. “I want you. Both of you.” Zhongli coughed slightly in surprise, you fell back a step, a choked sound passing your lips as you realized what he was saying. “There it is.” He teased. “One night, well, that’s all I’m asking as a boon. If it leads to more, that's a different story.”

You chewed on the inside of your cheek. You wouldn’t deny that both men were insanely attractive, and if you were totally honest with yourself you had had more than one dream starring one…or both of them. There was a lot of tension there, but you’d thought it was a figment of your imagination before.

Zhongli answered first. “I’m not…opposed to the idea. Though, if that’s the case, I insist we all share each other.”

Childe nodded emphatically. “Oh that was exactly what I had in mind.” His eyes turned to you. “Well? Are you willing to bet? Or not?”. He held out a hand, bouncing it slightly in the air as he waited for your decision.

You only hesitated for a moment, finally reaching out to accept his hand. He repeated the gesture with Zhongli, the long haired man adding a "The deal is struck." You swallowed slightly at the nerves you suddenly felt, knowing that there would be no backing out, not with Zhongli involved.

The three of you sprang into action afterwards, bearing down on the first camp before the hillichurls had time to do more than shriek and gibber before the samachurl fell under an onslaught of hydro and electro. You were glad you hadn't changed your resonance when you returned to Liyue, the two elements wielded by you and Childe working to quickly spread death to the assembled camp. You heard your name, turning to see a wall of gold spring up around you just before a frozen arrow could strike home. The offending Archer fell under Zhongli's spear before he could get a second volley off, and you paused behind the pillar he'd created to catch your breath.

"And that's camp one!" Childe called out brightly. "Looks like…3 each for the Traveler and myself, 2 for Zhongli." He turned, jogging up the slope in the direction of the second camp. “Better hurry up you two, or there won’t be any left for you.”

The second camp started out easy enough, and Childe had already slain a pair of archers before you had made it up the hill. You dashed past him, taking out the hydro samachurl before he could start healing the couple skirmishers that Zhongli was pushing back. Then a bellowing cry caused the three of you to pause, looking around to see where they were coming from. A pair of mitachurls had your group in a pincer attack, heavy geo shields held in front of them with the intention of smashing you all between them.

You took off running for one of the pair, Childe switching from his bow to his hydro daggers mid stride. Zhongli raised shields for you both before climbing on top of the pillar to get himself out of harm's way. He waited for the two of you to whittle away at the two giants, your names called in a low rumble that you almost felt through the ground rather than heard. When your head whipped around, your eyes grew wide at the sight of his hair blowing in an unfelt wind, the amber tips and his golden eyes taking on an otherworldly glow. You pushed yourself as hard as you could, trying to get out from between the churls before the enormous meteor landed.

You started to stumble, arms reflexively going to cover your head when you knew you wouldn’t move in time. Then you felt an arm around your waist, Childe pulling you along with him out of the range of Zhongli’s attack. The pair of you hit the ground a second time, feeling the tremble of the earth beneath you upon the impact. As you lay there to catch your breath, you heard a low chuckle right by your ear. Which made you notice that you were pressed into the ground by the same one who’d pulled you to safety. Who was now rolling his hips to lazily grind a very noticeable arousal against the back of your thighs.

“Childe…” You started, clearing your throat at the unexpected rasp in your voice. “I appreciate the save but you haven’t won yet.” You teased, pushing yourself up enough to roll over underneath him so you could look him in the eyes.

“Oh, I know, Girlie.” He grinned, pushing himself to roll off to one side of you, blue eyes staring at the clouds above.

“Then I think it would be best you not press your advantage until the bet is over, lest you take more than you are allowed.” Zhongli’s voice was even, though you could see the faint lines of a smile in the corners of his eyes. “Nevertheless; thank you for getting her out of harm's way as well.” He reached a hand to help you back to your feet, Childe rocking back and bouncing up to his feet with an acrobat’s skill.

As you were dusting the front of your dress off, you looked around the camp. “So…two more for you, Childe makes 5 for you, two for me makes 5 as well. She looked again. “And Zhongli made 4 that time so he’s at 6. One last camp then we’re done.” You grinned. “It’s going to be close, gentlemen.”

The three of you moved on towards the third camp, furthest away from the gates of the Harbor. There’d been a question nagging at you for a while, and you figured the trek was as good a time as any. “Childe?” He hummed in response, eyes cutting to glance at you where you walked between the two men. “Why…why this bet?”

Zhongli didn’t say anything although you could see the way he tipped his head in interest of the answer out of the corner of your eye. Childe slowed his steps, hands folded behind his head as he contemplated the sky. “Well…” he grinned, shrugging. “Call it a whim; or maybe it’s that I’ve been in love with you since the day I helped you get away from the Milileth.” He turned back to the path, jogging ahead. “Guess you’ll have to let me win to find out, Girlie.”

You groaned, chasing after him with a laugh. Trust the red haired Harbinger to refuse to give you an answer unless he got what he wanted.

A short time later, the three of you were panting for breath as the dust cleared from the final camp. It hadn’t gone as smoothly as the previous two. None of you had expected a trio of abyss mages to be instigating the hilichurls to form the raiding camps. Everything finally fell to your combined power, but not without a considerable amount of struggle.

You leaned against a chunk of ruined mortar, taking a long pull from your water flask as your eyes roved over the bodies. “I don’t know about you two, but I lost count. Too worried about keeping myself in one piece.”

Zhongli flicked the tip of his spear to clear the last few drops of ichor off the end. “I believe that it has ended in a tie. We didn’t prepare for that eventuality-”

“Hah!” Childe pulled his bow, loosing an arrow into the shadows of one hut. A high pitched screech emanated from within, and you shook your head in disbelief as yet another hilichurl hobbled out and expired in the door of the hut. “Well, I guess that means it’s not a tie anymore.” Childe grinned broadly as he slung his weapon back behind him again. He crossed to where you were standing, eyes intent on you until he was directly in front of you, palms resting on the bricks to either side of your head. “So, to answer the question; Since the first time I’d seen either of you fight.” You moved to speak, silenced by a leather clad finger pressing against your lips. “That’s how long I’ve been wanting. It got worse after that day in the Golden House. That was when I started trying to figure out how to get you.”

Zhongli cleared his throat. “And then you just conveniently found out about this commission.”

Childe pushed away from you, the tip of his finger drawing your bottom lip down slightly as he dragged it away. He looked almost smug. “Well, my scouts were the ones who noticed the camps. I just told them I would take care of it. And then filed the commission.”

You rolled your eyes. “And then, of course you made sure to tell me that you’d heard about a commission that would be a fun excursion for the three of us.” It made sense. And was well set up, you had to give him that. You pushed away from the wall, wiping your brow. “Well, you won, but I’m not having sex with you out here in the middle of a hilichurl camp.” You picked at a patch of flaking blood drying on your arm. “And a bath. Must have a bath.”

“Well, girlie, you’re in luck. There just happens to be an abandoned Fatui camp just over that hill there.” He leaned in close again, ducking in for a quick press of lips. “I told them to clear out yesterday, but to leave the main tent and supplies for my use.” You felt your cheeks heat up even at that small gesture. “Come on, let’s see what we can do to clean up.” His grin had an edge to it you usually saw only when the two of you were taunting before your sparring sessions. “Though, I’m not opposed to saving it for after either.”

Zhongli moved past the other man, a gloved hand landing heavy on his shoulder as he did. “Maybe another time. First times deserve to be treated with more dignity than that.” He said mildly. Amber eyes met yours over his shoulder and you trotted to match his longer stride as the two of you heading in the direction Childe had pointed. “If you aren’t ready for this, Traveler, we can always discuss postponing for another time.” He said softly as the pair of you moved away from the Harbinger.

You shook your head, reaching over to place your hand on the bend of his elbow. “Thank you, Zhongli. But I’m alright. I’m not going to deny I’m interested too.” You smiled up at him. “And that goes for you as well as Childe.” You caught the way his brow rose in surprise, a soft change to his color rising on the tips of his ears.

As you crested the hill, you saw that Childe had been telling you the truth. There nestled at the base of the hill was one of the large blue tents the Fatui favored. Just before you could turn to check on your other companion, you heard a whooping laugh, the aforementioned man jumping over the top of the hill and skidding down the hill ahead of you. You didn’t stop the laugh, pulling away from Zhongli to jog down to where Childe was holding back the flap.

Once inside, you noted it was fairly roomy, and the redhead was already moving around the space to light the lanterns. There was a large wooden tub in one corner, which you were pleased to see was already full of water. You dipped a hand in, crinkling your nose at the temperature. You dropped down to see all the tinder already stuffed into the heating box below. For a moment, the smell of ozone crackled through the small space as you called your attuned electro. It took a few more tries than a pyro vision might, but after a moment the forks of lightning finally caught a suitable piece of fuel, catching the whole thing alight.

You stood, turning back to the rest of the space once you knew the water was beginning to heat. There was a small table and a few stools in the opposite alcove where Childe was now, a bowl full of fruit in the middle along with some cheese and bread. He plucked a sunsettia from the bowl, lazily summoning one of his hydro blades to slice a piece off the fruit.

Zhongli was near the back wall of the tent, looking things over with a contemplative look. “So this is where you ran off to this morning after we finished arranging for today’s excursion.” Now that he mentioned it, you realized that the room was set up in a very convenient way to suit the needs of Childe’s little ‘wager’. Fresh food, a tub that very obviously wouldn’t have been prepared if the area had been cleared out yesterday. And now you noticed that at Zhongli’s feet were the bedrolls. Set up in a way that belied intimacy that a Fatui barracks tent wouldn’t.

Childe grinned again. “Well, I had to make sure if I won that everything was in place. Assuming you had even agreed, of course.” He crossed the room, slicing another piece off the sunsettia, holding it out to you. Your eyes held his as you leaned forward, opening your mouth to delicately take the offering from his fingers. He cleared his throat as his hand withdrew, “Alright Girlie, Ladies first.” You didn’t ask him what he meant, instead turning your back to him to face the tub again. Your hands went to the back of your neck, stopping when you felt his fingers already there, working loose the clasp that held your scarf and the top straps of your bodice.

You felt your skin shiver at the unfamiliar touch; it had been more than a long time since you’d found anyone you were drawn to enough to go to bed with. His voice was lower than usual when he laughed softly, bending his head to kiss along your neck and shoulder while he helped you work out of your dress. As it pooled to the ground, you felt his hands skim down your legs. First one side, then the other he tugged the stockings off as you kicked your shoes to the side.

Zhongli cleared his throat, and your eyes immediately went to where he was still across the tent. Those amber eyes glowed in the dim light, holding a hunger you hadn’t ever considered turning your way as he took in the sight of your almost nude form. That was when you felt Childe step away from you, moving to join the older man instead. “Go on, Traveler. I don’t think I’d be able to stop myself if I helped you with those bloomers.” Childe teased as he crossed the space to join the other man, shucking off his uniform jacket and letting it fall to the rug strewn ground.

You wriggled out of the last of your clothes and climbed into the water, sighing at the warmth. Now that you were in the water, you crossed your arms on the edge, watching the men together while you felt the heat seep into your muscles.

Childe still had on his red undershirt, and now that the jacket was gone you could see the leather straps of a harness crossing over the planes of his back. His gloves had come off sometime while you weren’t paying attention. It was almost strange to see his bare fingers, let alone the way they were carding through Zhongli’s hair. The older man had taken his hair tie out, the longer parts of his hair now hanging free except where they were being carefully twisted through Childe’s fingers. Zhongli apparently decided he was tired of standing there being petted, one hand cupping the back of Childe’s head as he pulled him in for a kiss.

You could hear the soft exhale from where you were watching at the edge of the tub. It only took the ginger a moment to shake off the surprise, pressing himself back into the kiss fervently. His fingers slid out of dark locks, instead moving to start working on the buckles holding the front of Zhongli’s coat closed. “You are wearing far too many clothes still, Old Man.” He teased against his lips as he broke the kiss, teeth tugging lightly on Zhongli’s bottom lip as he pulled away.

Zhongli paused, amber eyes moving from the redhead in front of him to where you were a short distance away. “Very well.” He said, pulling on the fingertips of one glove. You tipped your head to the side when the leather began to pull away, realizing you’d never once seen the Archon’s arms or hands bare, even a sliver of skin. As the first glove fell to the floor, you could understand why he always kept himself so fully put together and covered. The flesh of his hand was golden, almost the color of Mora or Cor Lapis.

He didn’t pause, moving to remove the other glove, setting both on the chest to the side of the bedrolls. “Now you see. Unlike Barbatos, I can’t hide the fact of who I am so easily. Even the most basic scholars of Rex Lapis would recognize me.” He moved to shrug out of the coat, chuckling as Childe’s eager fingers were already working on the vest underneath before pulling him down to slot their lips together again as he tugged the tie loose.

You giggled, watching the eager way Childe was trying to get all of you undressed. His obvious excitement for the night’s activities helped ease the last of your nerves. “Alright Childe. Let the man get undressed in peace so he can clean up too.” At the way blue eyes cut back to you, you beckoned. “C’mon. There’s plenty of room for us all here. And it’ll be quicker.”

Childe let go of Zhongli’s lips with a sigh, stepping away reluctantly. The darker haired man laughed, fingers working easily now to remove the clothing from his upper body. You marveled at the unique coloring moving up his arms, turning from gold to near black before it faded around his shoulders, lines of glowing gold Geo crossing over the span. When he turned his back to you so he could set the clothing aside neatly and remove his shoes, you could see the way it continued over the toned muscles of his back and shoulders, tracing down his spine to seemingly fade just below the band of his pants.

Your vision was obscured then by Childe moving to stand in front of you, fingers putting just enough pressure along your jaw to turn your full attention to him. He tipped your head up and he bent his just enough to pull you into a kiss. His teeth found your bottom lip, biting down enough to pull a gasp from you, opening the way for his tongue to lick into your mouth greedily. You got your feet under you in the tub enough to balance, freeing your hands to work on the buckles of his harness as the two of you explored each other’s mouths eagerly.

The buckles were easy enough to remove, and as you reached for the buttons on the maroon shirt you found a second pair of hands already there. Childe groaned into your mouth, a deep answering chuckle from Zhongli where he had rejoined the two of you. His fingers worked in tandem with your to divest Childe of his shirt, the younger man tossing it to the side haphazardly before pulling away from your lips to turn into Zhongli’s embrace, the two kissing deeply. You took advantage to begin mapping the scars along Childe’s back with your lips and tongue, fingers teasing along the waistband of his pants and working the belt loose, careful not to allow his vision to fall off. As you helped gravity pull the material down his legs, you heard a whimper from him. Confused, you looked around him, eyes widening when you noted that Zhongli had finished undressing before he had joined the pair of you.

You raised further out of the water, pressing your breasts against Childe’s back as you kissed along his neck, hands reaching to trace up Zhongli’s arms and back down. You tugged lightly on one wrist, catching the man’s attention with a coy smile as you stepped back and moved to the other side of the tub. He broke off the kiss with Childe with a soft chuckle. “Feeling left out, Dear One?” The pet name gave you pause, your heart leaping in surprise at how warm it made you. You didn’t have time to consider it further, the man already joining you in the water with a pleased sound, pursuing you and caging you between his arms against the edge.

Where the kiss with Childe had been greedy and messy, Zhongli kissed you in a way that was slow and methodical. You felt a small sound catch in your throat, your hands smoothing over the planes of his chest as your lips moved together. He laughed softly against you, pulling away enough to breathe a soft ‘perfect’ against your lips. You could hear water shifting again, and a lighter laugh from Childe as he joined you. He hooked his chin on Zhongli’s shoulder, grinning like a madman. You were about to ask why when you felt Zhongli mutter a curse against your lips, body rolling against you. A glance down into the water gave you a distorted but unmistakable view of Childe’s hand wrapped around Zhongli’s cock, teasingly stroking the other man to full readiness.

Childe hummed at the way the flesh in his hand filled out, eyes lit up in a way you only ever saw when he was fighting. You caught your lip with teeth, watching the blurry motions under the water, one of your hands slipping down to tease your own sex. Knowing that you were touching yourself at the sight of the two men pulling another deep rumbling groan from Zhongli, the man shifted to take your lips again.

“I think it’s time to take this to bed, yeah?” Childe’s voice cut through the quiet sounds of pleasure, as he released Zhongli and climbed out of the water. He turned around, one hand extended to help you out of the tub, setting a scratchy towel over your shoulders when your feet were on the ground again. “I know they aren’t great, but it’s what we have.” he dried himself off while he watched you, Zhongli just getting out behind you. Once the two of you were dried off, he took you by the hand, leading you to the bedrolls arranged at the back of the tent.

He stopped you at the edge of the blankets, looking over your shoulder at Zhongli as the other made his way to the pair of you. You took the momentary distraction to reach down, finding Childe hot and heavy against your hand already. He hissed your name, tipping your head back up to kiss you again before his hand stopped yours. Pulling away with that hungry grin on his face again he laid down on the bedding, beckoning you closer. You came closer, letting yourself down onto your knees carefully. When you were about to straddle his hips, his hands stopped you again.

“Nu uh.” You looked at him in confusion, but his hands tugged you upwards. “Up here, Girlie. No way that little bit of touching yourself was enough.” He tugged at your leg again, putting a little more strength into the motion. You followed his lead this time, lest you be pulled off balance and fall gracelessly on him instead.

He guided you to put your knees on either side of his head, blue eyes blown wide with lust as he tugged lightly on your hips to bring your core to the reach of his mouth. You bit the side of your hand to muffle the whimper the first touch of his tongue to your slit brought forth. The smack to your ass afterwards made you squeal, looking down at him indignantly. “No fair hiding your sounds, we want to hear them, Baby.” He said, turning his head to press kisses against the insides of your thighs as his hand gently rubbed the heat from the slap away. He kept easing closer to your lips, fingers teasing over your skin until he found his goal again. This time you didn’t try to hide your voice, moaning in time with the motions of his tongue over your rapidly dampening cunt.

Childe groaned, already intoxicated with want from the first tastes of you and the sweet noises you were making for him. His eyes rolled back, catching sight of Zhongli standing just away from the two of you, lazily stroking himself. Childe waved him over, tapping on your thigh and motioning towards the other man. You looked down, trying to figure out the strange pantomime the redhead was doing until you sensed movement and raised your eyes.

Zhongli’s cock was right in front of you, the tip already beginning to leak precum from the earlier teasing Childe had done. You looked up at the tall man as you leaned close enough to give a small kitten lick to the slit, gathering the drops of slick. One hand still held his length steady, the other reaching out to gently card through your hair. You let your eyes fall closed as you opened your mouth and took the head of him into your mouth. Both men groaned at the sight of you taking his dick slowly.

The three of you moved together, each careful bob of your head taking more of Zhongli into your throat while Childe kept moving your hips over his mouth, his tongue doing wicked things to your clit. You took a breath, finally letting yourself take the full length of Zhongli’s cock down your throat. You coughed slightly, the sensation of your throat tightening around him making the Archon moan and unthinkingly buck his hips. You choked, but didn’t move off, instead moaning as you swallowed around him.

Below you, Childe groaned at the sight of your lips wrapped around the other man’s dick, his own throbbing in anticipation of being buried in welcoming heat. He reached down to tug on it a few times before he readjusted your hips so he could lap at the juices dripping from your core. He worked a hand up so his fingers could toy with your clit, rubbing and pinching at the bud. The combination of his fingers and tongue had you keening around Zhongli as you struggled to keep your attention on moving your head and tongue for him.

He patted your hair, murmuring praises to you, and when you started to lose momentum he chuckled. “I can take over, if you are amenable.” He said softly. You opened your eyes and rolled them up to see him looking down at you, a tender but still lust filled look in his eyes. You nodded slightly, letting him put one of your hands on his hip before he started moving carefully. “Let me know if it is too much for you, Darling.”

You whined as he started rolling his hips smoothly, filling your mouth and throat with his cock. Every few strokes he’d test the waters with a sharper snap of his hips, exhaling a rumbling sound as you whimpered and moaned around him.

You came first, you knew you would from the insistent way Childe was devouring your cunt. He’d switched the places of his hand and mouth at some point, suckling on your clit until a gentle press of teeth against it had you spasming on his fingers with a cry. He kept toying with you with his fingers, lapping at the excess sliding out of you while taking care to avoid your clit for now.

The sound of you coming, and the desperate sounds that the redheads continued teasing pulled from you were enough to spur Zhongli on, rhythm failing him as he came with a groan, pulling out just far enough to spill over your tongue instead of down your throat. When he carefully pulled away from you and helped you to move off Childe, the other was quick to sit up. “You missed a spot.” He teased, leaning in to lick at some of Zhongli’s seed that had spilled past your lips before kissing you deeply again, chasing the other man’s taste on your tongue.

Zhongli chuckled, catching Childe’s hand before he would wipe it on the bedding, pulling the fingers that had been buried in your core to his own lips. Childe whined at the sight of his fingers disappearing into the other man's mouth, a warm tongue cleaning your essence off them.

After a moment of everyone regaining their breath, and sharing several deep longing kisses, Zhongli helped you to lay down amongst the bedding. He nuzzled your ear, pressing kisses along your pulse point and whispering more praise into your ear. You held your hands out for Childe, the man more than happy to settle himself between your thighs. He stayed sitting on his heels as he lined up, watching intently as each inch sank into you until you were fully connected. He sighed, dropping himself down carefully to brace himself over you. “I’ve waited so long to have you pinned under me like this, Traveler.” He breathed. You smiled up at him, arms reaching to loop over his shoulders and tease the hairs at the back of his neck when he finally started moving.

After a moment he yelped, the sound met with a rumbling chuckle from the dark haired man. “And apparently you’ve been wanting to be pinned under me too, Childe.” Zhongli teased. You couldn’t see from where you were, but from the blush dusting across Childe’s cheeks, you had an idea what he was meaning.

“Ajax.” The redhead said, his voice low. “My…my real name. It’s Ajax.” Your eyes met glowing gold ones over the mans’ shoulder.

“Of course; Ajax.” You both said almost in unison. The sound of his name on both your lips sent a shiver down his spine. You knew he was occupied with the things Zhongli was doing to him, so you started moving your own hips gently, making the two of you gasp and moan into each other’s mouths and keeping the flames of desire blazing.

It wasn’t much longer before Ajax ground out a quiet “Please, just do it. Need you too.”

Zhongli looked like he was going to argue, but something stopped him. “Alright, relax then, Ajax.”

You watched black tipped fingers grip one of the redhead’s scarred hips and heard the hissing breath the man let out as he was filled as well. You had stilled your movements as well, giving the one in the middle time to adjust and control himself before continuing. One heartbeat of silence, two…and then you felt him grab your thigh with one hand, tugging you at a different angle. Then he snapped forward, and you cried out at how the change made him drive even deeper. You felt both men pull away, and then drive in again, Zhongli into Ajax and then Ajax into you.

The three of you moved in tandem, your voices melding into a chorus of pleasured cries and begging pleas for more. It was hard to tell where one of you ended and the others began, hands reaching for any body parts they could reach. It was over almost too soon, Zhongli coming with a deep growl, biting into Ajax’ shoulder in a way that was no doubt going to leave a long-lasting mark. Ajax pounded into you one last time, fingers flicking at your clit to ensure you fell over the edge with him.

He collapsed on top of you, barely bracing himself on his arms. You blinked up at him, nose to nose as you tried to gain some motor control. After another moment you laughed, pulling him back down into a kiss until he was able to push himself off of you. You pushed your hair out of your face, reaching out with your other hand until you found Zhongli on your other side, twining your fingers with his.

Ajax was the first to regain himself, propping himself up on one elbow to look at you and Zhongli where the pair of you were still just lying there. “I’d say that counts as the boon well enough.” His eyes were still lit, though there was a hint of something uncertain swimming just below, questions unasked.

You looked to Zhongli, and at your joined hands. He nodded solemnly, and your face brightened. Together, you reached out, both of you pulling Ajax into the circle of your embraces. “Rest now. We can discuss where this leaves us in the morning.” Zhongli said gently. “But I doubt that now that I’ve had a taste of the both of you that I plan on letting go anytime soon.” You laughed, and you could feel the redhead relax against you knowing that his gamble had worked the way he’d been hoping.
