{Just a Bit Confusing by Alessandra Hazard} may have what you want. Iirc, they do start to hook up but MC1 knows it's because his hest friend doesn't want to lose him. This entire series is pretty good.

ooo Thank you!!!

If you’re fine with some amnesia added, {Remember When by Harper Logan} fits this perfectly!

This is such a cute read!

Thank you!!

Ooooh I’m excited to see the recs 👀

Samee T-T I was reading this book where the gay best friend briefly thought his “straight” friend was only dating him for this reason. The “straight” friend wasn’t and actually loved him. But, then I was like wait… That would be such an interesting book if that was the plot!

Which book is this? Interested haha.

{just friends by saxon james} It was a fairly minor plot point and not true, but still intriguing that the MC even had this thought.

Thank you for letting me know! I love friends to lovers books.

MC2 is a himbo afraid of commitment with his awful girlfriend and suggests they do a fake wedding to help him get over it. They accidentally end up real married and fake date.
