Totally Platonic

Cuddling your roommate is totally platonic… right?

Reid
Physical contact has always made Reid uncomfortable. Crowds? People in his personal space? Touching him? All too much for this librarian. But when his roommate is spiraling, Reid steps up to provide the grounding support Parker needs.
Only to find that being close to Parker isn’t overwhelming.
In fact, cuddling Parker feels good. Like something he didn’t realize he was missing.

Parker
After his first disastrous attempt at college ended with an OCD diagnosis and dropping out, Parker has a new life plan. Moving in with his sister’s friend was just convenient, but when college stress makes Parker spiral, Reid pushes through his own issues to help.
Realizing that his sweet roommate is touch-starved, they come to an arrangement. A cuddle arrangement. Totally platonic cuddles between roommates.
But, as the weather gets colder and they spend more time snuggled under blankets, Parker realizes that, maybe, his feelings for his roommate aren’t platonic, after all.

Totally Platonic is a standalone romance novelette, with a bi-awakening, neurodivergent roommates, cozy vibes, and all the cuddles. Totally Platonic was originally released as part of the Neurodivergence in Queer Romance event, a multi-author collection celebrating neurodivergence in queer romance.
