How to unlock the History's Best Friends achievement in Crusader Kings III - Definitive Guide
Change the Sexuality Distribution game rule to Homosexuality. Start an Ironman game as King Alfonsu of Asturias in 867. You start with three friends, I chose to Swear an Oath of True Friendship with Count Hermenexildo of Santiago. I had a 100% success chance of this. After he accepts start a seduce scheme against him, with no optimisation I had a 95% chance of success. The achievement should pop after your seduce scheme succeeds. I don’t think it makes a difference whether it is a one night stand or he becomes your lover, but I chose the second option.

That's certainly a quick way to do it, but there really is no need to set up a new game with unrealistically changed rules for sexual orientation just to get this achievement (not judging if you just happen to like playing with everyone being gay anyway :-) ). You can do this achievement easily on the side while playing practically any Iberian campaign.
While the name of the achievement might allude to a taboo secret sexual relationship, it doesn't have to be a gay one, you could even befriend and seduce your spouse for the achievement if you wanted to avoid getting an adulterer/fornicator secret.
You just need a culture that has the "ritualized friendship" tradition. All original Iberian cultures have that (Andalusian, Aragonese, Asturleonese, Castilian, Catalan, Galician). Having this cultural tradition, you automatically have access to the befriend scheme (without having to unlock the usual perk from the family diplomacy skill tree) and you can ask any of your friends to become your best friend. If they don't already have another living best friend and their attitude is at + 100, they are usually guaranteed to accept. First check whether they would be open to a seduction attempt by selecting the seduce option on them without actually starting the scheme, then become best friends, then do the seduction or romance scheme and you're done.
