It was a chilly, drizzly morning on set, and as Stephen was about to head inside, he felt a familiar tug on his arm. Turning around, he saw Dec, a wide grin lighting up his face beneath the umbrella. The sight warmed Stephen, even as the rain drizzled around them.

"Oi, where do you think you're going?" Dec chuckled, pulling him closer. "There's plenty of room under here."

"Not for all three of us!" Stephen laughed, glancing at the umbrella that seemed too small to accommodate them all. Just then, Ant joined them, wedging his way under the canopy, ensuring Stephen was snugly tucked between them. The warmth of their arms pressing in on either side chased away the chill, and Stephen felt a wave of appreciation wash over him. It was moments like this that reminded him how lucky he was to have them in his life.

"Not a chance we're letting you walk alone in this weather," Ant declared, his voice firm yet playful, as he gently steered Stephen towards the entrance. Dec angled the umbrella just right, making sure Stephen stayed completely dry, each step bringing a sense of comfort. As they walked, Ant casually slipped a hand onto Stephen's shoulder, guiding him away from the curb to prevent any splash from passing cars.

"Seriously, you two," Stephen said, shaking his head with a fond smile, "it's just a bit of rain."

"And it's just a bit of friendship," Dec replied, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Deal with it."

Once inside, the rain pattering against the roof became a soothing backdrop to the busy hum of activity on set. They had a long day of filming ahead, but Ant and Dec weren't about to let Stephen feel like he was in it alone. During breaks, Ant would appear like a guardian angel, a steaming cup of tea or a snack in hand, and Stephen couldn't help but chuckle as Dec followed shortly after, checking to ensure Ant had brought him something good.

"Keeping tabs on him, are we?" Stephen teased, accepting the warm cup from Dec, the heat radiating through his fingers.

"Only because you're hopeless without us," Dec quipped, playfully ruffling Stephen's hair, the gesture making Stephen feel light and carefree. "And besides, it's important to make sure you're taken care of. Right, Ant?"

"Absolutely," Ant agreed, his gaze softening as he gave Stephen's shoulder a quick, reassuring squeeze. "You better believe we're sticking around to make sure you're looked after."

As the day progressed, Stephen's phone buzzed with little messages from them-just small notes of encouragement, silly jokes, and check-ins to ensure he was holding up alright. Each ping brought a smile to his face, lifting his spirits and reminding him how cherished he truly was. He thought of how lucky he was to have friends like Ant and Dec, who cared so deeply about his well-being.

When it was finally time to head home, they waited by the exit, umbrellas ready and open like protective shields. Ant pulled Stephen close under his arm, the familiar scent of his cologne mingling with the rain as they braved the elements once more.

As they walked, Ant and Dec continued their small gestures of care, making sure Stephen didn't get too close to any puddles, shielding him from the worst of the wind, and reminding him to watch his step. Stephen felt an overwhelming warmth in his chest that had nothing to do with the weather, knowing how much they genuinely cared for him. It was as if their affection wrapped around him like a blanket, keeping the chill at bay.

Back at Ant's flat, they settled in for a warm drink. Stephen curled up on the couch, feeling completely enveloped by the cosy atmosphere, with Dec next to him and Ant on his other side. The two of them flanked him like protective sentinels, their presence a reassuring reminder that he was safe.

"We're always here for you, you know?" Dec said softly, resting a hand on Stephen's shoulder, the gesture filled with sincerity and warmth.

"Always," Ant echoed, leaning in to give Stephen a warm, reassuring hug. Stephen felt the pressure of their arms around him, the genuine love and protection they offered flooding him with comfort.
