Third Person POV:
"I love you" Ryan muttered as he watched Ace wear his pants. Ace sighed and faced Ryan

"We're just friends okay? I have a girlfriend. This, is just us being friends with benefits. I need to go" Ace said and went out of Ryan's apartment. Ryan laid down and tears started falling from his eyes.

He felt stupid. He fell for his best friend. The best friend that will remain his best friend. At first Ryan didn't feel anything for Ace but after a few months of 'benefiting' from each other, he slowly started to have an attraction to Ace. Ryan told Ace about this but Ace told him that the relationship they have is friendship and for sex but Ryan didn't care. He would always say 'I love you' to Ace even though he knew he wasn't going to say it back.

It wasn't supposed to be this way. Ace knew his best friend is gay that's why he wanted them to be friends with benefits. Ryan could fulfill his sexual needs and Ace can fulfill Ryan's well... lack of sexual experience. All of it was going so well until one day, Ryan told him that he likes him. Ace started freaking out inside. This wasn't supposed to happen. He didn't want his best friend to catch feelings for him. It's all about sex and nothing else.

Ace went back to his apartment where his girlfriend was waiting. "Hey"

"How was work?" She asked him

"Tiring" he said and sat beside her. She placed her hand on his thigh and he rose an eyebrow

"It's been a while since we..." she said and moved her hand up and down his thigh

Ace was not interested so he pushed her hand away and stood up. "Maybe tomorrow. I'm tired" he said and his girlfriend sighed

"Okay" she said. Ace kissed her forehead and went to the bedroom. His girlfriend followed him and she sat on the bed and picked up the picture frame from the bedside table. "I'm curious..." she said

"Hmm?" Ace hummed as he took off his necktie

"Why don't we have a framed picture together but you and your friend have? And additional note, it's beside your bed" she said and Ace rolled his eyes

"He's been there for me more than anyone. More than you, and more than my family. He's the only person who's important to me because he made me feel important" Ace said and his girlfriend put the frame back to the table and she walked over to Ace

"I can make you feel more important" she purred and Ace rolled his eyes

"I'm not in the mood okay?" He said and laid in his bed. "And please go home. I want to be alone tonight" he said. His girlfriend smiled sadly at her boyfriend before walking out of the apartment.

When he heard the door close, he sat up and rested against the wall. He looked over to his side and grabbed the picture of him and Ryan during their graduation. He ran his thumb over Ryan's face and smiled.

They were childhood best friends. Ace was hated by his parents so the only family he considered was Ryan. Ryan knew he was gay since he was 6 and when he told that to his parents at the age of 8, his dad started beating him up while his mom just cried silently. His brothers were unaware because his father only did that when they were not home. Ryan found peace in Ace's presence and so did the other. They formed a beautiful friendship. One that many would kill to have. They went to school together. They studied together. They even once overheard the old lady from their neighborhood say that they're soulmates.
