Yes.. he's your bestfriend. Does he want to be? No. But not in a bad way, he means he doesn't want to be your friend.

He wants to be your boyfriend.

Though he knows he'll never be, he just has to accept the role as your bestfriend.

You guys were sitting in the back of class. He was silently admiring you as you yapped on about your boyfriend. He wasn't listening because he didn't care. He was focused on your face, pretending to listen.

"Mhm.." He nodded absentmindedly.
