Unconditional

Who Would Have Thought

It was the pounding headache that woke Dec up, with bitter mouth and aching limbs. He was sleeping on his stomach, limbs splayed wide, taking a major part of the king sized bed he is on. His one arm felt trapped and numb. He tries to pull it out which resulted in something purring and moaning from beside- he opens his eyes in a shocked snap and turns around carefully to see what or rather who is resting on the outstreatched arm. His heart nearly gave out at that sight before him.

Because before his eyes, in all his royal glory is Ant Mcpartlin, lying on his side, Dec's hands acting as a pillow to rest his cheek , his long eyelids closed and soft snores coming out of his red lips. Dec takes a moment to just inspect their position and his eyes travels around. Suddenly his breath hitches in his throat as his eyes reached  Ant's torso - shirtless......and bare.  He tried to think what happened the previous night and all he could remember was falling asleep in Ant's arms and before that Ant has told him he loves him. Not in the sense of love-love but in a casual, friendly way...and Dec...

Damn it!! Did I tell him I love him too?!!! Fuck!! I hope he didn't take it in the wrong sense! Dec you idiot!!! God, I did tell him that! He is my friend!! Oh no! Wait!! Did I do something stupid yesterday? Did we do something.....

He again looks at Ant's naked chest and certain highly inappropriate images strikes him.

The next moment he jerks his hand out and rolls himself away from Ant, only to fall down on the floor with a thud, waking Ant up

Ant: "Fuck! What's that?!"

Dec stands up and watches as Ant sat up, rubbing his eyes and scratching his head.

Ant: "Did you fall down?"

Dec: "Anth...what happened?"

Ant: "What?"

Dec: "Yesterday..we...did we..."

Ant looks at him puzzled and then sees Dec eyeing his bare chest in question. He takes a minute to look around and realisation strikes him

Ant: "No! Oh God! No, no, no... We just slept...Look, you are dressed... And I am too, well mostly"

Dec looks down to his clothes and then at Ant's lower half. He sighs in relief.

Dec: "Oh God!" He sits down on the bed and turns to see Ant putting his T shirt on

Ant: "It was hot in here and I was feeling uncomfortable"

Dec: "When did we reach here..and where is here?! Why am I not in my room?"

Ant: "You don't remember?"

Dec: "Is that a bad sign?"

Ant: "No, I don't remember much either but it was midnight when the party ended and we went to your room to see all the beds were full and I took you to my room and I think we fell asleep here"

Dec: "Evidently"

Ant: "Are you alright?"

Dec sighs and runs his face and then places his head in his hands "I am so spaced out. My head is killing me"

Ant: "Hangovers. You were really out yesterday"

Dec: "I don't know whether I should be happy or afraid that I can't remember half the things"

Ant: "You didn't do anything you have to be embarrassed about if that's what you are worrying about. I was with you all night"

Dec: "Anth...thank you. I mean it. I know I can be a really pain in the butt"
