ant mcpartlin is dec donnelly's math teacher. he has a thing for his student but dec is incredibly oblivious to it. dec wants to make the most of his senior year.
and it all started with ant moving declan's desk.
dec decided not to tell stephen, but he would be there taking pictures from a safe distance. he didn't want to ruin the moment between his two friends. he packed the food into his car and drove to the beach.
he set everything up fairly quickly and he took a picture to send to stephen.

what do you think? perfect innit?
he awaited his friend's response and continued to make everything look beautiful. he put a white blanket down followed by a small, wooden table. he set up the pillows on either side of the table, those would be where they sit.
"you got this decs. stephen definitely owes you big time. and now you're talking to yourself, stephen you owe me."
he placed a small table cloth on the table and set up the plates, along with wine glasses and a nice rose right in the middle of the table. as soon as he finished, he got a message from stephen.
stephen looks amazing!! i just picked up the roses and i'm on my way to emma's
stephen i'll see you soon, i definitely owe you one
//stephen//
stephen was right at emma's doorstep, roses in hand and nervous. he racked up enough courage and knocked on the door, hiding the roses behind his back.
emma opened the door soon after and stephen was taken back by her appearance. he couldn't help but stare in awe at her beauty.
she was wearing a white shirt with a red, high-waisted skirt. there was a little bow on her right hip and she topped the look off with a pair of black heels.
"stephen?"
he managed to snap out of his trance and tried to speak, stuttering the entire time.
"what? oh, right. erm... th-these are for y-y-you."
stephen pulled out the roses from behind his back and handed them to emma.
"aww, stephen you didn't have to get me anything, aren't we just going out for fun?"
"y-yeah, but i thou- i thought m-maybe, i don't know, i couldn't just," he cleared his throat, "just, erm, bring you nothing. heh"
he rubbed the back of his neck and chuckled, embarrassed at himself.
emma put the roses in a vase and stephen patiently waited outside for her.
"your carriage awaits m'lady."
emma chuckled at stephen's silliness and played along. she looped her arm around his and they walked down to stephen's car. he opened the door for her and she thanked him.
