He knew you as his girlfriend's goofy friend, someone charismatic, fun, although kinda annoying. You always made him laugh and supported him.

He never took you seriously romantically and you were sure he never would, but you really wanted recognition beyond the friendship you had with him.

You both were in one of the rooms of the house, alone, playing a stupid board game. You knew how much he hated parties and now you accompanied him in a friendly way, of course.
