BFF begins with David and Matty's meeting in second grade, and we get numerous vignettes of their friendship throughout grade school, Matty's first girlfriend, graduation, college years, David's less-than-successful attempts at dating, job searches, vacations, finding their first apartment, etc. After 18 years of great friendship and counting, David becomes very ill and almost dies. Funny how staring death in the face has a way of making one reevaluate their life and for David that means accepting that he is in love with his best friend:

... a tiny voice in my head quietly pointed out that I loved him. Not a “he’s my brother and I love him” kinda love. No, this was something different. This was a “I think I’ve fallen in love with Matt” kinda love.

"Why start now?" he mused. 

It was banter like this that sustained us, and often showed the true emotion we felt for each other. When Dec said why start now, what he meant was "I like our life together. I wouldn't want any other person in the world, just you."

Dec and Simon have bought a new house (a converted firehouse with the fireman's pole ... and possibly a ghost) and are ready to embark on parenthood when Simon's health scare shakes them to the core:
