You are not the ace pilot
You don't get the mech
You are not the main character
Your best friend is. You are just a background character in their story.
I don't have any friends

Your on /m/ pal, you have lots of friends.
>>14626946
My friend's a heavily overweight schizophrenic.
my best friend is stuck raising a kid while working a dead end job
>>14626946
Do I live through the story?
>>14626946
The trick is to become a popular enough character to get your own alternate reality spinoff
Well I guess I get best girl while the MC has to suffer through MISUNDERSTANDINGS and DRAMA in order to bag a sub-par bitch. I'll probably even pilot a mass production model, which is good enough for me. Maybe I even get to punch him to bring him out of some depressed stupor. All in all it sounds pretty good to me, OP, I'm just happy to live in a world where mecha exists.

I DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS

All that is fine with me, honestly. At least my risks of getting mistaken for a girl and turning into a 'tard by the end of the story are somewhat lower.

Unless you get held hostage by your friend's enemies.
Villains wouldn't care, not as long as you're cute.
Am I to take this any of this as some kind of problem?
Like, we can go lower than "friend" status if we need to.
My best friend is also my boyfriend though.

If I recall right Marvel had a character whose goal was this exact purpose, and she ended up as a henchman to a greater villain instead to avoid dying.

S/he'll be dead by episode 5 for cheap drama and justified angst
