Am I the asshole for playing dumb when I knew a friend/acquaintance had a crush on me?

Context: I'm Hirose Aiki and my friend is Nakamura Okuto. Yes, the one from "Go for it, [name]!" art memes.

He'd been pretty friendly and I liked him, but mostly in a platonic way.

I thought he only liked me for my surface traits—which isn't necessarily true, just me assuming! But that assumption is why I played dumb about his intentions.

For even more context, we were two highschool boys in a setting where queerness is kept repressed.
