kaeya is the crown prince of some frivolous kingdom, and childe has been hired to assassinate him. he fails, for whatever reason, but not before a high tension scene where they're alone in kaeyas chambers and childe gets caught

childe returns no more than a few days later, showing up at a ball held to find suitors for the prince. perhaps he's crossdressing and pretending to be a suitor so he can get closer to kaeya. its filled with tense stares from across the room, and for my peace of mind, they're forced to dance together. no one else can hear the threats breathed between them as they glide across the floor. kaeya knows he's trying to assassinate him, childe knows he knows he's trying to assassinate him. you know them, *slams palms on the desk* there's going to be an unholy amount of flirting and the amount of tension in the room will be unbearable
