Leads Grew Up Together / ML Hides Long Time Feelings

The leads grew up together and / or went to school together. They were frenemies, friends or as close as family for years. The ML falls first. He hides his feelings but wants to be close to the FL and looks out for her. He knows the FL very well. Maybe even better than she knows herself. When he makes big decisions (where to go to university, where to work, etc.) the ML always keeps the FL in mind.

This one doesn't really fit the ML-falls-first criteria. Frustratingly it takes the ML FOREVER to figure out his actual feelings. But he fits all the other criteria. Including secretly ensuring that he attends the same university as the FL.
Lived together starting in high school. High school + university.
