do u ever think. maybe ernie knows of bert's unrequited love, he knows everything about bert, because they're best friends, but he keeps pretending to be oblivious even though it eats at his conscience because it's better than the alternative, letting bert know he'll never feel the same way
and he knows how hard bert tries to keep a secret, and he debates with himself whether it'd be better to get it out in the open someday so that bert can try to move on and not spend the rest of his life hoping and pining but instead being able to find someone else, but it's not the right time yet, and he doesn't want to bring it up before bert is ready (if he ever is)
and it's the reason ernie never brings a girl home, and maybe it's why he hasn't had the heart to get into a serious relationship in a while, because he knows it would break bert's heart and only hurt him every time ernie brings her up and what kind of bff doesnt introduce their SO, and it would kill bert to meet her
