Writing as someone who is a lot older and in the same position as your friend. Yes, it does hurt a lot, especially listening to how you fancy someone else, but I think your friend should be the one to choose as I did. Things change so quickly and although it tears me up at times, I prefer the pain that goes with the friendship because the friendship gives me so much more. Also friendship in someways can last a lifetime, even more than a relationship. I enjoy supporting the friend I have feelings for, his company, his thoughts, his humor, even the intimacy of his his trust and confidence. I appreciate you care to not hurt your friend, but to abandon the friendship is certain pain, but to keep it enables him to still enjoy the friendship moments and events change so quickly, tomorrow is another day.

baybee-x-sparkii agony aunttalk to him, sit him down and just say something along the lines of " im sorry but i can't let you hurt yourself by fancying me, i do fancy someone else, we can stop talking if it helps" (obviously thats just off the top of my head but something like that should help )
