It was officially autumn and you couldn't be more excited; all the good holidays were getting closer! The one problem was that you have SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), and it always hits around fall and winter. You felt it getting closer, and so could your best friend, Joe Gatto.

You two went to college together and were in most of the same classes together, but didn't get much time to talk. This week had been particularly rough; you had trouble with your homework, you couldn't sleep, you didn't wanna get out of bed, and you were crying a lot more than usual. You're normally really good at hiding your problems, but I guess not good enough this time, because he noticed.

"Hey, you feeling alright?" he texted you Friday evening. "Yeah, I'm fine! You?" you answered, lying, but you hoped he didn't notice. "Don't lie to me, (y/n)." he replied, not believing any of what you were saying. "Can you come over? The door's open" you texted him back, praying he could. "See you in 5." he responed rather quickly.

You laid on your fold-out couch waiting for Joe to get there. You heard him open and close the door quietly and walk over to you. He carefully laid beside you on the couch, and you rolled over to face him and lay your head on his chest.

"Thank you for coming over. I-" you said quietly. He interrupted and said "it's alright, I wasn't doing anything tonight anyway, and I knew you hadn't been feeling too hot." he wrapped his arm around you and placed it on your side. Not much was said over the course of the next few hours as you both just laid there and enjoyed the silence.

What was wrong with harmless cuddling between friends?
