My crush rejected me, I'm feeling fine

Soo, I was at McDonald's w one of my friends & she told me i should prob tell my crush how i feel. I had this crush for about 4 months 'officially' but i kinda liked his style and stuff for like 9 months now. There were school holidays in between so i didnt see him to much but now, im w him in literally half my classes (20 out of 39).

So, she tells me i should confess bc he's a literal angel and wouldn't hate me or tell me off or smth. Therefore, we went outside and i called him. I was literally shaking from the inside out and my voice was trembling lmao 😭😭😭. He had to calm me down a bit too tho at first i didnt even understand him bc he was on the subway/metro

He practically just told me he thinks im courageous for telling him (that makes me like him even more help 😭) and that this doesnt have to change anything between us and our current friendship. He said he rlly admires me but he said the typical "I'm straight" too. Ig im fine. What maybe best describes the developement of my feelings best is: before, I felt like i was bleeding from my heart emptying it more and more bc i knew he'd never be mine. Not, at least there is a patch though a bit of the pain still remains. I hope i will be able to heal.

To my other gaybros, please dont be afraid. Be yourself. There will be heartbreak but we will all get through this, its life and its sh!t sometimes
