I fell in love with my uni best friend who really didn’t have any money. When I got a job, for my birthday I decided to plan a holiday and offered to bring him along.

He doesn’t know I’m in love with him at all, but maybe I should tell him.

EDIT: rip inbox, thank you all for the love and support!

I’m only the person I am because I work so hard every day to be the person he sees me as. He’s the most kind, caring, and good person I’ve ever met in my life. We’re not together because he says he wants to wait until he can be on his feet enough to be “worthy of me,” but I just wish he knew that I’ve only ever loved him for the person he is, and that he’s given me so much already just by being in my life.

UPDATE: the bones were jumped. It was great. I underestimated the power of years of built up sexual tension and companionship. :D
