If we don't *do anything*, there wouldn't be anything from keeping us together, right? I've liked him for years now haha! Any suggestions on how to get someone that's been your best friend to see you as more? Please keep in mind the age difference if that would change your answer :)He may or may not like me back, but his little brother likes me and he's 11. I'm 15. Is there a way I can let him down easy and still be with his brother without hurting their relationship with one another?

 The way you see his brother is how he should see you, if he's a decent guy.
You're going to have to let this one go, OP. You can move on from this, don't worry :)
As for the 11 year old, just distance yourself. It's normal for him to have a crush on someone older, just like it is for you, but it'll pass.

 It is true that girls mature more quickly than boys so you may feel this boy's equal. However he will see you as being too young. His friends will call him a cradle-snatcher and he probably won't want to endure ridicule to be seen dating you as you are still under age as far as he is concerned.
Be sure if he is interested in you then he will let you know. Otherwise don't be too obvious. You will look silly.
And as for the 11-year-old. Well, he's just a little boy isn't he? He may even have a crush on you but it will be easy to remind him that he isn't old enough for you.
