Learning to walk

"I love you"

Ant's POV
I open my eyes to see Decs side of the bed empty and I reach my hand out and it's cold. I wander downstairs to find him, he's sitting at the breakfast bar eating an apple and reading on his phone. "Goodmorning love" I say wrapping my arms around him and he turns towards me and gives me a kiss. Dec has never said a word to me and I knew he probably wouldn't when he was introduced to me as "the mute kid" at school years ago, I love Dec and I know he loves me but I guess it would be nice to hear him say it back. His mother told me that he talked for a while when he was young but after he turned 4 he just stopped and the therapists have no clue why.
Some days I spend hours trying to find something to watch because Dec doesn't make suggestions or simply doesn't care what we watch. After finally deciding to watch Doctor Who me and Dec snuggle up together in our bed with the laptop between us. Dec usually gets bored after about 3 episodes of any show so he starts fidgeting and squirming, he turns to me and kisses me neck. After managing to distract me from the show I set my laptop on the floor beside the bed and I flip Dec over and pin his wrists above his head and he bites his lip.
Dec is panting and squirming as I pound into him and I lick up along his neck and he makes a small whimper sound and I smile. After we both finish I lay on my back panting and sweaty and Dec is on his belly smiling contently. I bring Dec towards me and make him cuddle me and he wraps one arm around me and lays his head on my should. After 20 minutes of just laying contently together Dec lifts his head and kisses below my ear, the I hear the most beautiful sound in then world, Dec leans in really close and whispers "I love you."
