Things got weird with my gay best mate while high – not sure how to feel

Bit of a weird one, and honestly, I don’t even know how to process it properly. I’m a (22M) straight guy at uni, and my best mate (22M) is gay. We’ve been close since first year, and it’s never been weird between us he knows I’m straight, I know he’s gay, and it’s just never been a thing.

Anyway, the other night, we were at a small party, just a few of us, having a few drinks and getting high. We ended up playing truth or dare, which was mostly just stupid stuff at first nothing serious. But then, I dared him to strip down to his underwear. Thought it’d be funny since he’s always joking about being shameless. He laughed and did it, but then someone dared me to do the same, so I did.

At some point, we ended up sitting next to each other, and I don’t even know how it happened, but there was a moment where it felt… charged? Like, I was aware of him in a way I hadn’t been before. We were still laughing and messing around, but there was a point where he looked at me like he was waiting for something. I swear, if someone had pushed just a little more, something could’ve happened.

And now, I feel like I missed something. Like there was a moment, and I let it pass. I don’t even know what I wanted to happen, but I can’t stop thinking about it.

Not really sure what I’m asking, just needed to get this off my chest.
