you, Dan, and Arin were close friends, and they never failed to make you laugh with the jokes and stories they told, in fact, it also brought you comfort, knowing they'd always find a way to make you smile

one day, Dan and Arin were gonna play games and just joke around like they always did, they invited you over too of course, they started up the game in the meantime

"Hey, you! Glad to see you aga-"

when you got there, they went to greet you, Dan being the first to speak but trailed off, only to be met with a gloomy expression on your face... what happened? Was everything okay? Why were you sad? They both looked at eachother, before looking back at you, Arin's voice was a lot softer now as he spoke next

"Hey... you okay? What's goin' on?"

he asked, Dan patted the empty spot on the couch, offering you to sit next to them and ready to listen to whatever was troubling you
