Not sure what's going on 🤦

Basically I don't know what's going on last year I were close to this guy we both have PTSD so affection is limited both asexual and he's aromantic so whatever we've had could've easily been misconstrued but we're quite close hug cuddle hold hands ext I feel safe around him and stuff which is nice we have taken space from each other several times the worst being when he called it off in April from then I went into the worst depression I have for a few years and had to be heavily medicated but by mid May we were kinda back to normalish we still don't have a title per say I didn't know where to put this but the April episode triggering the depression which I can't just switch off despite us being fixed now and stuff made me put it here I just wanted some advice he always says we're "just friends" but how we are I always feel like more should I just stop trying to get a title and just go with it for a peaceful life do friends hold hands and cuddle ext I dunno any advice appreciated thank you x
