On a bright Saturday morning, Ant and Dec crept quietly through the front door of Stephen's house, armed with a tray full of breakfast goodies. The sun filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow in the cosy home. Today, they planned to surprise their beloved friend with breakfast in bed, a gesture to remind him how much he meant to them.

"Shh, don't wake him yet," Dec whispered, a grin spreading across his face as they tiptoed down the hallway. His heart raced with anticipation. They reached Stephen's bedroom door, where the soft sound of his breathing filled the air, a rhythmic reminder of his peaceful slumber. Ant carefully pushed the door open, revealing a serene scene: Stephen lay nestled under a pile of blankets, his hair tousled and his face relaxed, a picture of tranquility in sleep.

"Ready?" Ant murmured, his eyes sparkling with excitement, the thrill of the moment bubbling inside him.

"Absolutely," Dec replied, his voice barely above a whisper. He placed the tray on the bedside table, ensuring everything was just right before climbing into bed. They settled on either side of Stephen, their bodies naturally curving around him as if they were meant to be there.

"Stephen, love, time to wake up," Dec said softly, pressing a light kiss to Stephen's temple, feeling the warmth radiate from his skin.

Stephen stirred, blinking against the morning light filtering through the window. His mind slowly awakened, grappling with the sudden intrusion of the day. "What...? What's going on?" he mumbled, his voice thick with sleep, struggling to grasp the situation.

"Surprise!" Ant exclaimed, unable to contain his excitement any longer. He reached for the tray, revealing a delicious spread: fluffy pancakes, crispy bacon, fresh fruit, and steaming cups of coffee. Ant's stomach grumbled at the aroma, but his focus remained on Stephen.

Stephen's heart melted at the sight. "You two didn't have to-" he started, but Dec quickly interjected.

"But we wanted to," Dec insisted, cuddling closer to Stephen and planting a gentle kiss on his cheek. He felt a rush of affection, his heart swelling with warmth. "We just wanted to show you how much we love you."

Feeling the warmth of their affection enveloping him, Stephen smiled, his initial confusion giving way to joy. A wave of gratitude washed over him, and he couldn't help but lean into their embrace as they settled comfortably together. Sharing bites of breakfast, they exchanged soft laughter, punctuated by sleepy kisses that lingered just a moment too long. Each kiss felt like a promise of their unwavering support, a testament to their bond.

As they finished their meal, Stephen glanced at his friends, the affection in his heart bubbling to the surface. "You guys really didn't have to do this. It's just breakfast."

"Maybe," Ant replied playfully, nudging Stephen lightly with his shoulder, the corners of his mouth twitching upwards in a teasing smile. "But we want you to know we're always here for you, no matter what."

"I know you are," Stephen said, his voice sincere, touched by their thoughtfulness. "It just means a lot."

After breakfast, they settled in for a day of movies, sinking deeper into the pile of blankets as the first film flickered to life on the screen. The air was filled with the scent of syrup and coffee, mingling with the warmth of their bodies pressed together. The trio took turns picking snacks from the takeout bags they had left at the door, only briefly breaking their cuddles to dash out for more food or to use the bathroom.

The hours melted away in a haze of laughter, warmth, and the gentle rhythm of shared moments. Ant would wrap his arm around Stephen's shoulders, feeling the comforting weight of their friendship, while Dec would curl up against his side, his heartbeat a steady lullaby. Stephen felt cocooned in their presence, a sense of safety washing over him as they watched classic films, debating the merits of each one.

"Do you think they'll ever get together?" Dec whispered dramatically during one particularly touching moment, and they all erupted in laughter, the sound echoing joyfully around the room.

As the day wore on, they found themselves drifting off, the comfort of each other's presence lulling them into a soft, sleepy haze. Dec would wake up occasionally, pressing a kiss to Stephen's forehead before snuggling back down, his affection palpable in those gentle touches. Ant would brush his fingers through Stephen's hair, murmuring sweet nothings that made Stephen's heart flutter and his cheeks heat up.

When evening finally approached, the sun setting in a blaze of colour, the three of them were wrapped up in a blanket fortress, utterly content. The day had turned into a cherished memory, a beautiful reminder of their connection. "Thanks for today, you two," Stephen said quietly, his heart full, the weight of their love surrounding him like a soft embrace. "I really needed this."

"Anytime, baby boy," Ant replied, planting a kiss on the top of Stephen's head, feeling the warmth of their bond radiating through him. "We love you."

"Always," Dec echoed, squeezing him gently, the sincerity of his words wrapping around them like a protective shield.

With that, they returned their attention to the screen, snuggled close together, feeling the warmth of their love enveloping them like a cosy blanket, ready to take on the world, one movie at a time.
