Jake noticed Johnnie has been depressed lately. He walked upstairs and knocked on the door, assuming Johnnie was oversleeping his emotions again. "Johnnie?" he called out.

Johnnie was indeed still in bed. He was facing the wall and pulled the covers over his head when he heard Jake knock on the door.

"Come in..." He mumbled from under the covers, his voice sounding a bit muffled.

Jake opened the door. Seeing the lump of blankets. He smiled a bit and lightly pulled the blankets off Johnnie. "hey," he said sweetly.

Johnnie whined and held onto the blankets, not wanting to be uncovered. He finally poked his head out, looking at Jake with a pout."Hey..." He repeated, his voice still a bit muffled.

"C'mon lets get out of bed, you've been sleeping all day. it's 4pm" Jake replied with a small smile, yet his eyes showed concern.

Johnnie groaned and sat up, running a hand through his messy hair. He looked tired and a bit disheveled, like he hadn't slept well.

"I know, I know..." He said, sighing."But I just don't feel like getting up today. I'm tired and I just want to stay in bed."

"I get that, but i think we need to get you a bit productive today. How about we eat something first? Have you eaten today?" Jake asked as he sits on the bed.

Johnnie shrugged, looking down at his lap.
"Not really... I haven't been hungry." He said, avoiding eye contact with Jake.

Jake frowned a bit. "I can make you something," his brown eyes reflected concern.

Johnnie finally looked up at Jake, his expression a mix of guilt and sadness.

"You don't have to do that, I don't want to be a burden..." He said quietly, feeling like he was being a bother to Jake.

"You're not a bother, or a burden. That's stupid talk. You're my best friend and i care about you. You haven't eaten today or got out of bed and i think i should make you something. How about a sandwich? Would you like that?" Jake smiled sweetly.

Johnnie felt a pang in his heart at Jake's words. He knew Jake cared about him, but he still felt like he was burdening him with his problems.

He nodded slightly, giving a small smile in return."Yeah... a sandwich would be nice."

"C'mon lets get out of bed then," Jake gets up and holds his hand out to Johnnie. His brown eyes genuinely show care and concern.

Johnnie hesitated for a moment, still feeling reluctant to get out of bed. But he knew he couldn't stay there forever, and he didn't want to worry Jake any more than he already had.

He took Jake's hand and slowly got up, feeling a bit unsteady on his feet. He followed Jake out of the room, still wrapped in his blankets like a cocoon.

Jake laughed a bit, "You look cute in a blanket burrito," as he walked downstairs with Johnnie.

Johnnie blushed a little at Jake's comment, feeling a bit embarrassed. He tightened the blanket around himself, feeling a bit more secure."Shut up..." He mumbled, but there was a hint of a smile on his face.

"No," Jake stuck his tongue out and guided Johnnie to the couch. "Here uh- you sit here. I'll also get you some water. You need to hydrate yourself. Do you want to eat here on the couch? Or at the table?"
