[he has to attempt to re-contextualize every interaction they've had since that kiss on Phoenix Mountain and that is very difficult when he previously assumed Lan Wangji wanted to lock him up or kill him.]
[there is clear distress in his voice; a sort of panic clawing at him when faced with this admission, placed up next to their many years of arguing and fighting]
