Ant and Dec One Shots

Silent Gestures

Ant and Dec had always been close, but lately, they'd grown even more attuned to each other's smallest needs. It was the little things that had begun to fill their days: small gestures of care and connection, quiet comforts exchanged like a language only they understood.

In the morning, they'd arrive at work with coffees or teas for each other, each knowing exactly how the other liked it. As they stepped into the studio, there was always a tight hug, lingering just a little, as if to say, "We're in this together." They'd part with a shared grin, their eyes locking for a second that held a thousand unspoken reassurances.

The long hours of filming meant they sometimes got tired, but they kept an eye on each other, noticing when one looked a bit drained. Dec would subtly nudge a bottle of water towards Ant, who'd give him a grateful smile in return. Ant, on his end, was always slipping a small snack into Dec's hand whenever he sensed Dec's energy fading. It became a silent routine between them: making sure the other was hydrated and well-fed, each tending to the other's needs like an instinct.

When they were apart - even just a few minutes between takes - Ant would get a text from Dec asking, "You alright, mate?" It was never really about the response, but more a way to let the other know they were always on each other's minds. Ant would respond with a quick, "Right as rain! Miss ya already though," followed by a cheeky wink emoji.

Back on set, they'd slip in little gestures of comfort throughout the day. Ant would give Dec a reassuring squeeze on the shoulder before a tricky line, a quick, silent reminder that he was there, right beside him. Dec would reach for Ant's hand under the table during interviews, a subtle press that said, "We've got this."

During breaks, they'd pick up food from nearby cafes or treat each other to takeout, knowing the other often forgot to eat. Dec would sometimes surprise Ant with his favourite sandwich, while Ant would bring Dec's go-to soup on cooler days. It wasn't just about the food; it was about making sure they knew someone cared, that there was always someone looking out for them.

The day was filled with little touches and gestures that could seem insignificant to others, but to Ant and Dec, they meant everything. A light kiss on the cheek as they brushed past one another, a tight hug goodbye at the end of the day, a gentle hand-hold when they needed extra support. Even their silences felt comforting, the quiet eye contact that said more than words ever could.

In the moments where one seemed down, the other became their comfort. Dec knew exactly when to wrap Ant in a warm hug, whispering softly, "I'm here, don't worry." And Ant, with his comforting presence, would simply sit beside Dec, placing a hand on his back and letting him know he didn't have to go through anything alone.

Their affection wasn't about grand gestures but a steady, unspoken rhythm of care and understanding that kept them grounded. They were each other's safe place, a constant source of support in a world that could sometimes be overwhelming. And that, more than anything, was what made their bond so special - the little ways they showed up for each other, day after day.
