Ant and Dec One Shots

How They Make Him Feel

To Stephen, being close to Ant and Dec felt like uncovering a hidden treasure of warmth and loyalty. Their friendship was a steady light in his life, but it was more than just camaraderie; it was the way they made him feel genuinely seen and valued, like he belonged right by their sides, no questions asked. With them, he felt secure-as if, no matter what came their way, this bond would always hold steady.

Moment 1: The Surprise Visit

One Friday evening, Stephen was wrapping up a long, gruelling day on set when his phone buzzed. He glanced down to see a message from Dec: "Stay put, Stevie. We're coming to get you." A smile crept across his face as he read the text, his tiredness momentarily forgotten. He had no idea what Ant and Dec were planning, but he knew from experience that it was bound to lift his spirits.

Not long after, Ant and Dec arrived, both grinning mischievously. Before Stephen could even question them, they each took one of his arms and gently, but firmly, steered him toward Dec's car. "No complaints tonight, mister," Ant teased, guiding Stephen into the back seat with a wink. Stephen chuckled, sinking into the plush seat, surrendering to whatever surprise they had planned.

Their destination turned out to be a cosy, tucked-away Italian restaurant, warmly lit and far from the noise of the city. The scent of garlic and fresh herbs drifted through the air as they stepped inside, immediately making Stephen feel at ease. They found a corner booth, where soft, ambient music played, and the three of them settled in, laughter spilling from their table as they perused the menu.

Plates of rich pasta arrived steaming hot, and as they dug in, stories flowed. They shared embarrassing moments from the week-missed cues, wardrobe malfunctions, and a particularly chaotic rehearsal that left them all in stitches. Stephen felt his exhaustion melting away, replaced by the warmth of their camaraderie. Each laugh and shared smile made him feel lighter.

At one point, he looked up at his friends, a soft grin spreading across his face. "You two are far too good to me, you know," he said, his voice thick with gratitude.

Dec reached over, giving Stephen's hair a playful ruffle. "Family, Stevie. You're our family," he replied, his voice as sincere as his gaze. "And we'd do anything to make you happy." Ant chimed in, patting Stephen's shoulder reassuringly. "We know when you're tired, even if you won't admit it," he added with a wink. "That's what we're here for."

Stephen's chest tightened with a surge of affection, a profound sense of belonging settling over him. In that quiet, candlelit booth, surrounded by friends who knew him better than anyone, he realised just how deeply they cared.

Moment 2: The Day at the Beach

A couple of weeks later, the three of them finally managed to steal a rare day off and headed for the sea, excited for some time to unwind. As they parked by the beach, Stephen grinned, watching as Ant and Dec ran ahead, kicking off their shoes and daring him to catch up.

"Come on, Stevie! Last one in's buying lunch!" Ant called, already sprinting toward the waves with Dec close behind, both of them laughing like kids. Stephen broke into a run, shaking his head at their antics, but he couldn't help laughing too. The three of them splashed into the cool water, yelling as the waves hit. They shoved and playfully dunked each other, fully letting go of their usual responsibilities.

After a while, Stephen waded back toward the sand, wiping his wet hair from his face, only to feel a sudden tug on his arm. Dec was beside him, steadying him when he stumbled on a hidden rock beneath the water. "Careful, mate," Dec chuckled, his hand firm and reassuring on Stephen's shoulder. Stephen felt a flush of gratitude as Dec kept a steady grip on him until they reached the shore.
