Happy Sunday 🥰

Ant woke up the next morning with a splitting headache and a dry mouth. Jesus how much did I drink last night? Slowly he blinked open his eyes, his gaze instantly fell on Dec who was sat against the head bored staring at his Nokia brick with sweat coming from his temple, what ever he was reading must have really terrified the Geordie because his smaller frame was practically shaking.

"Decky?" Ant croaked, his hand flying up to rub his temples as he winced against the pain.

Dec slammed down the phone and turned to Ant, he smiled but there was something off about it, something wrong. The younger Geordie, feeling as sick as he was and really struggling to string complex thoughts together, couldn't read his lover like he usually could.

"What were you looking at?"

"N-nothing.... how's your head?"

"Awful. Are you sure it was nothing? You look like you've seen a ghost."

Declan frowned and slid back down to Lay his head on the taller man's stong chest, cuddling into his warmth. "I'm fine... just worried about everything you know?"

"Aye I know, sorry..." the singers head shot up and he came lean over the other man, hovering above his face so he could look into the presenters eyes in confusion.

"What do you mean you're sorry? None of this is your fault."

"I should be able to protect you, you've suffered enough in your life... you shouldn't have to deal with something like this."

"I dated the guy Ant. I brought this upon myself. None of this is your fault you've done more for me than I will ever deserve.... You... You've transformed my life from travelling around on the streets, performing to the 3 or 4 people. To living in Chiswick and performing in front of millions of people. I thought I'd never be able to trust anyone again. Every morning I'd wake up scared and alone. Now I feel safe and protected.... Loved. And it's because of you Anth. You chose to  love me and that's will be the unsolved mystery of my life."

Ant stared into the smaller man's green orbs in wonder. How could someone so beautiful, be so kind and modest?

"You're wrong." Declan pouted adorably in confusion, "youd be performing in front of millions with or without me. I never chose to love you Declan. I had no say in it, how could I not fall in love with you? You're ute, funny, crazy talented and just a bundle of light in my life. The greatest achievement of my career is that I met you and you were able to trust me with your love and I will never. Ever let you down, baby. I love you so damn much." Dec had tears in his eyes.

His hand cupped Ants cheek, feeling the slight stubble tickle his hand before he ran it up to play with the younger man's jet black hair. "Love you more."

The world stopped turning as Declan's eyes fluttered closed and he slowly lowered head. Anthony brought his own lips up to meet his boyfriend's half way. Dec forgot his worries in that moment although he knew they would never truly be gone, they remained there, growing and festering like a cancer in his mind. That's why he clung to the younger man's lips, like an addict to morphine, Ant was the only thing that could numb the pain.

Things got heated as Dec's hands tugged at the younger man's hair and Ant's hands roamed liberally down his partners slim form, wanting to feel every part of him. Dec slid down the presenters body with a lust-filled gaze which never left Ants as he kissed down the tanned skin of his toned abs.
