The Boy Next Door

The Boy Next Door - Part 6

This didn't really go the way I had planned it to but ohh well. Hope you still like it :) x

A few hours later Ant and Dec woke in each other's arms slightly glad that the room was dark as the two self conscious teens remembered they were naked. They got dressed and said their goodbyes and soon Declan made his way home feeling in need of a hot shower. However as he entered his family home that thought quickly left his mind as he was met by his angry parents. And of course a rather smug looking Martin sat in the corner of the living room. "Where have you been Declan?" His father started walking closer to his son. But he just stood like a deer in the headlights. "I..umm..at a friends dad like I said" He eventually answered confused as to why his father was in a foul mood. "Alph don't scare the lad he's not done anything wrong as far as we know" Anne spoke up and pulled her youngest in to a secure hug. "What's up with you guys? Has something happened?" The rather confused 17 year old asked his parents.

"Well Martin seems to think your a...." Alph stopped himself as he felt the anger and disappointment fill his body. "Your brother saw you a boy in the alleyway and has jumped to conclusions" His mother carried on. "I haven't jumped to anything it was clear as day mam!" Martin suddenly spoke from the corner making Dec jump a little as he hadn't seen him when he arrived home. On hearing his brothers comment the small teen felt the panic start to rise. He thought he was ready for his parents to know this part of his life but right now he wanted anything but. Before the conversation could go any further Declan ran up the stairs and slammed the door of his bedroom shut. Trying his best to calm down and forget everything he just heard. But nothing worked.

"Anth I need you"

He hit send and waited for a reply. Silently praying his boyfriend hadn't fallen back to sleep and would see the message soon. It wasn't long before he felt his phone vibrate in his hands. Quickly he answered the call and as soon as he heard Ant's voice he felt himself start to calm down. "Declan is everything alright?" The younger boy asked concerned. All he could hear was the heavy breathing of his boyfriend on the other end of the phone. It was a couple of minutes later when Dec finally answered the question. "Yeah I am now just your voice....thats all I needed" Dec sighed as his breathing finally evened out. "Baby what happened? You scared me" Ant's voice full of concern. "My brother saw us early and told my parents" The tears started to fill his eyes as the emotions hit him. "Ant I'm so sorry I know you weren't ready for people to know" He cried. Hearing this made Ant's heartbreak. All he wanted right now was to hold his boyfriend close and tell him everything would be fine. "Hey...hey Decky sweetheart shh baby it's alright people were going to find out soon enough this isn't your fault" He spoke down the phone. "What did they say anyway?" The younger boy asked. "Not much I panicked and ran away" Dec sobbed down the phone. "Well thats not going to help sweetheart, go and speak to them okay and then come back to mine ill be waiting alright I love you Declan" He smiled before hanging up.

The nervous teen wiped his eyes with a shaky hand and plucked up the courage to go and speak to his parents. As he made his way down stairs he saw his mother sat watching the evening news but his father and brother didn't seem to be around. Making his way into the living room he sat down on the sofa next to Anne. "Ohh Declan" She placed her arm around her youngest and pulled him into a secure hug. "It's true isn't it?" She asked quietly and the small boy nodded. "Why didn't you say anything darling I'm not mad, just disappointed you felt the need to hide it from me" She pulled away from the hug and wiped her sons tears away from his red tear stained cheeks. "I was scared of what dad would think" He croaked out. "Alright it's okay you can't help who you like pet, I'll speak to your father don't worry about him" Anne smiled  and kissed her sons head. "You want some tea" She asked. "Umm actually mam can i go over to Anthony's I said would after I spoke to you" He asked hoping his mam would agree. "Of course just let me know when you get there" She smiled. "I'll be fine its only next door" Dec laughed grabbing his jacket next to the door. "Wait...what the boy next door!? The thug who beats people up? Declan!!" Anne shouted getting up from her seat but it fell on deaf ears as her son had already left to see his boyfriend.
