I think if it's at that point, it's time to tell him. I think if you're as close as it sounds like you are, the part about you being a boy won't scare him. Not all humans have a problem with two males. Unless he's showed a strong aversion recently, it's more likely that he'll be scared about hurting your feelings.
Obviously, you need to phrase it in a way that's most comfortable for you, but from when I used to practice what I would say, I can tell you that the important point to get across is that no matter what, you still want to be his friend. That that's not going to change, that you just want to be honest with him about how you feel.
