He intertwines his fingers with Lan Wangji's and gives a little sigh, but there is a smile on his face as he looks at him. "Okay okay. But it's no fun for me either when you act all hesitant. You're not allowed to toss a heart at me every day and then ignore me."

He likes the contact just like this, an occasional hug or a surprise kiss on the cheek. He's not asking to be ravaged in a closet whenever they see each other. He just wants to know that his feelings aren't getting brushed aside as well. Because he knows what he feels even if the other version of himself doesn't yet. And if in time he has to let those feelings go because they can't all agree..it will hurt but he will do what has to be done. It's the same thing he promised his Lan Wangji. He didn't want either of them to be hurt because of what his heart felt. He'd rather be the one suffering.

"I messed up all our chances for adventuring because I got hurt. But look.." He sticks out his leg and shows the now bandage-less ankle. "No more excuses." It still aches a little if he does too much but nothing he can't handle.
