Author’s summary:

 

“Alright,” Bucky says and stands with his hands on his hips and gives Steve a narrowed glare. “Hit me. What went wrong?”

 

“I uh, don’t actually know?” Steve says, and now he feels an embarrassed flush creep over his cheeks. “She stood me up.”

 

Bucky stares at him. Blinks once. And stares some more. “You,” he says flatly. “You got stood up?”

“You have yet to fully recover from the injuries you got from using the Stygian Tiger Amulet,” Lan Zhan said, letting go of his wrist. “Will you stay with me until you are well?”

He could have said no, Wei Wuxian knew. He also knew that Lan Zhan would not fight him about this, wouldn’t hold him back if he decided he needed to go, and it was what made the decision easy.

 

Wei Wuxian spends some time resting at the Cloud Recesses after everything that happened at the Guanyin Temple.

Also I approve that the canonical version of “there was only one bed” tag is in all caps, I didn’t write it like that  😂
