You were talking to your boy best friend, also your secret crush, but he didn't need to know that.

When...you began ranting.

About...

Him.

Yet he didn't know it was him you were ranting about, as you only mentioned the he/him pronouns, not his name.

He listened intently, giving soft "mhm"'s after everything you'd say.

"For the record this is self-destructive." He said softly to you.
