[ It was a long night. Five had barely made it back to the house before he passed out, and the entire time he'd expected Lan Wangji to come out of the woodwork the moment he closed his eyes. Leaving him there had been a risk, and he second guessed himself all the way until morning.
Somehow it didn't cross his tired mind how easy it would be to find him where he lived. Five backs up a step when he suddenly spots him there, just as he'd been cleaning up the last traces of their encounter before his siblings caught wind of it. Something Lan Wangji obviously hasn't had time to do. He balls his freshly-bandaged hands into fists, but words escape him as he bows in front of him.
For a full minute he doesn't know how to respond. Something was strange about the last night, but he hadn't questioned his motives. They made more sense than whatever is happening now. He halfway recognizes the gesture, and that only makes him more uncomfortable. ]

What are you doing? [ Stop that. ]
