Only One Day More

iii. Facing Lisa

AN: Wow, I was really stuck :')

Dec opened the front door of Ant's house carefully. He never had been so nervous in his life. He saw light in the kitchen. Dec wanted to cry when he entered the room. Ant was backing a glass of whiskey. Dec walked to him, took his glass and the bottle away from him and took Ant in his arms. "I'm sorry, I need you, I really need you." Dec mumbled. "No Dec, you clearly don't want me the way I want you." Ant said. "Fuck, Ant, you're gonna be dead in less than 24 hours. I love you, but I'm not the only one who loves you!" Dec said. "Declan, I'm so fucking in love with you! I don't care anymore, I just want to kiss you and cuddle you and fuck you this last day on earth, and I don't care who knows what I'm feeling for you anymore." Ant said. "I love you, Ant, I really do! But you can't just stay silent. You have to tell Lisa! You know you have to tell Lisa!" "What do you have to tell me?" The boys heard. Lisa stood in the door opening in her pyjamas, still half asleep. Dec felt his heart beat in his throat. This would not end well...

"What do you have to tell me?" Lisa repeated. "I'll let you to it, Ant." Dec said and he wanted to leave. "You're not going anywhere, Dec." Ant said. Dec stopped in his tracks. "I saw the demon tonight, Lisa." Ant said. Lisa was completely awake immediately and took Ant in her arms. "Why are you guys fighting then? You've never had a fight before." Lisa said worriedly, not letting Ant go. Tell her now, Ant. Dec thought. "I may have realised tonight that I have feelings for Dec?" Ant said carefully. "What?!" Lisa asked in shock.

Lisa shook her head and palmed her eyes. "I do understand if you two want to be together, you have to compensate a lot of time in less than 24 hours." She started, obviously with pain in her heart. "But Ant, can I have one last hug and kiss? Please?" she asked. "I'll wait at mine Ant. Take your time to say goodbye." Dec said and he left the house.

Dec prepared a warm bubble bath. He was really tired, but he wanted to enjoy every moment with Ant that they had still left. They should tell Ant's family, they should tell the fans,... They should tell so many people, but all of that would be time that's wasted.

Only half an hour later Ant entered Dec's house. Without saying a thing, Ant took Dec in his arms and started to cry. Dec broke the hug and forced Ant to look at me. "Come on, love, we're gonna have a good time those last hours. I prepared us a warm bath so you can sober up a bit and then we're gonna cuddle." Dec said. Ant wiped his tears and smiled. He took Dec's face in both hands and pushed his lips softly on his best friend's. Dec closed his eyes and smiled in the kiss.

This is what he'd waited for for years. And although he felt sorry for Lisa, he was fucking enjoying it.
