Ant and Dec One Shots

Scouring And Fixing Contract

Stephen practically ran down the hall to find Ant and Dec, unable to contain his excitement. He clutched the contract in his hands, his face lit up with a wide smile, and his heart racing with anticipation. He'd just received a potential offer to host Deal or No Deal, a gig he'd dreamed about for years. He had skimmed over the contract but wanted his friends' help to go through it carefully, making sure every detail was right.

When he reached their office, he knocked excitedly and pushed the door open. "Ant! Dec! You'll never believe it!"

Ant and Dec looked up from their work, surprised but quickly catching on to his excitement.

"Stephen! What's going on, mate?" Dec asked, grinning as he set his notes aside.

Stephen held up the contract. "I got an offer-for Deal or No Deal! They want me to host!"

Ant's eyes widened as he jumped out of his chair, pulling Stephen into a hug. "That's amazing, Stephen! We knew it was only a matter of time before they realised you'd be perfect for it."

Dec joined the hug, patting Stephen on the back. "You're going to be incredible. And you've got us right here to help make sure everything's exactly as it should be."

Stephen's excitement was softened by a bit of nervousness. "I know, that's why I was hoping you two would help me go through it. There's a lot to cover, and I want to make sure it's all set up right. I really want this to go well."

"Of course, we'll help you," Dec reassured him, guiding him over to sit between them on the couch. "We're with you every step of the way. We can make a plan and go through it all one section at a time, making sure everything's set up to give you the best opportunity."

They spent the next couple of days going through the contract together, setting up a little 'work zone' in the living room, where they'd spread out papers, highlighters, and laptops. Ant and Dec dove into the details with Stephen, asking him questions about what he hoped for in the role, what type of support he wanted, and what details he'd like added to make it feel truly his own.

At times, they'd stop for tea breaks, where they'd keep the atmosphere light and encouraging. Dec would remind Stephen how much he deserved this opportunity, and Ant would share stories of their own early contracts, helping him feel at ease. Through every page and clause, they made sure Stephen knew he was loved and supported, surrounding him with their warmth and affection.

One evening, as they were wrapping up the last few details, Ant sat back, crossing his arms with a smile. "There we go, mate. I think you're all set. Anything you're worried about?"

Stephen looked at the finished contract, feeling the warmth of their care and attention in every line. "Not anymore. You two have helped me so much with this. I wouldn't have felt this confident without you."

Dec leaned over, ruffling Stephen's hair. "It's because we believe in you, Stephen. You're going to be amazing, and we're so proud of you."

Ant grinned, wrapping an arm around Stephen's shoulders. "Any time you need us, you know we're right here. And just remember, we'll be cheering you on from start to finish."

As they sat together, Stephen felt more grateful than ever for Ant and Dec's support. With them by his side, he knew he could step into this new chapter with confidence, love, and the certainty that he was never alone.
