Was this text exchange with a guy passive aggressive?

So the guy I’m very casually involved with (hoping to have a conversation about more with soon about exploring more than just hooking up) has been a little inconsistent this last month and I playfully called him out on it last week.

Kind of just telling him I had a surprise for him but because he’d not made any moves to see me recently, I’d keep him in suspense. He apologised and said he’d just been very low-profile recently, but that he couldn’t wait. Obviously I wasn’t super angry or anything but told him it was on him to decide when to see me, and we did flirt a little by text after.

Anyway he text me last night/this morning at 5am. Just saying ‘hey babe x’ - Not super unusual but as I say, recently I haven’t heard from him much unless I’ve instigated. I’m assuming he had a fun night so wanted to know what he’d been up to.

I responded when I woke up with ‘hello ❤️’ and then on a second line, ‘5am! Fun night?’ - Which means when he enters the text app, he’d only see that second line in the preview

I’m now worried that it comes across as passive aggressive, like I’m telling him off for texting me at that time. I’m reality I’m just curious as to what he was up to and making conversation. But would guys read it as a passive aggressive jab - especially bearing in mind I’d called him out a bit the week before? Or does it read as genuine curiosity?

It’s now 4pm and he’s been online a few times but not responded. I’m thinking of texting him ‘you all good babe? x’ but it would be a double text.
