this is NOT a love story

he watched as david entered the building, he was obviously looking for stephen. he smiled a little then dec came up to him, "what are you lookin' at?" he gave him a peck on the lips and turned to see his shorter partner. "just david. he looks lost, but i'm pretty sure he's just trying to find stephen. it's cute, but how did he get in?"

they chuckled and just let it slide when they saw stephen get scared by david. they saw stephen practically drag david away towards his dressing room, but ant chose to ignore it. dec on the other hand, he pulled ant towards stephen's room and waited around the corner until the door was shut.

"dec, what're you doin'?" dec shushed him and leaned his ear against the door and listened. ant realized what dec was doing and did the same. "are you mad!?" he heard stephen yell through the door. "'ey dec? maybe we shouldn't be listening to this." but dec kept his ear on the door. "nothing really. just thinking about us." dec was pulled away before he could hear anything more.

"what was that about?" he said looking ant in eyes, "i just thought that maybe we shouldn't be listening to their conversation. i love stephen, but i feel like there's something going on between the two of them, but i want to stephen tell us on his own time if he even wants to talk about it." he looked down at dec as he spoke, playing with his partner's fingers.

dec lovingly stroked ant's face and smiled at him, "hey, it's okay. i get it. i think there's something going on too. in fact, the last thing i heard before you pulled me away was stephen tell david that he was thinking about them two. he sounded somewhat.. hmm, what's the word?" he thought for a moment, "oh, yeah! he sounded somewhat conflicted. like, he's not sure that this is what he wants."

ant looked worried, he was really concerned for his son. his only son. he couldn't help but feel a bit sad on the inside, knowing his son isn't sure about what he wants and that he won't talk to him about it. "are you alright, ant?" he was shaken from his thoughts. "hmm? oh, yeah, i'm fine just hungry."

dec was a little suspicious but didn't question it, he knew ant would just lie anyways. "how does chinese takeaway sound when we get home? we should be home in a few anyways." that brought a smile and light to ant's eyes, "that sounds amazing right now! i can't wait!"

dec smiled at his lover and dragged him back to set. they were practicing for snt, they decided that they were going to do a throwback to the 90's and sing and dance to let's get ready to rhumble the song that was known everywhere.

they danced the rest of the day away, laughing an reminiscing about their pj & duncan era and their music career that just didn't stick. when they were on their way home, they looked in the backseat of the car and saw that stephen was fast asleep. "i remember our first day, you fell asleep in the car too when we were on our way home. it was cute." he smiled at dec, remembering that night.

dec softly hit ant's arm and he got out of the car. ant chuckled and got out as well, waking stephen softly, "come on mate. we're home. i would carry you but you're not as small as ye used to be." he chuckled once more and waited for stephen to get out of the car, supporting him by the arm to make sure he didn't fall over all the way into his bedroom.

he led him to his bed and as soon as his head hit the pillow, he was fast asleep once again. he smiled down at him and kissed his forehead, "i love you stephen." he whispered as he closed the door. he went downstairs and was greeted by dec with chinese takeaway in his hands. "surprise!" he was a tad bit shocked, he thought that he had forgotten and was going to go to sleep as soon as they got home.

"you remembered! when did you even get this?" he asked, giving him peck on the lips and smiling. "i had ordered it earlier and then had david bring it inside when it arrived." he smiled at ant and he could see a shimmer in his eyes. "well, i appreciate it declan. now come on, let's eat, i'm starving!" dec laughed at his husband as he went straight into eating, and soon joined in. they shared jokes and watched netflix. around 2 in the morning, they ended up falling asleep in each other's arms on the couch.
