My best friend told me he had a crush on me

This is an update to my other post a few months ago. My best friend came back to Florida after living in California for a year and a half. Me and him were on the phone yestarday (day after christmas 2016) and we were talking for almost 2 hours on the phone. During that time we talked about our past together and he said that before he left Florida to live in California, he wanted to tell me that he had a crush on me and wanted to be more than friends, but he didn't because it would have been a long distance relationship.When he told me that I was trying not to freak out haha. I was overwhelmed with joy to know that he did have feelings for me. The conversation when on and we were saying nice things to eachother and just goofing around on the phone like we always do, but this time it felt different. It didn't feel like oir typical phone call and mess with eachother.It felt like a silly conversation a couple would have. Right now we are unofficial, but it feels like we are a couple to me. I'm going to see him tomorrow and I can't wait to see him after a year and a half but im kinda nervous.. Im not sure why but I am. I am going to just let all of my emotions flood out and say the things that I've always wanted to say to him that I never have yet. And even if me and him don't become a couple, I wouldn't mind because our friendship is more than enough. But something tells me that me and him might even be friends with benifits... Its just a feeling ;)
