This is a very long chapter 🥰 with references to abuse 😪

It's not too late to build it back
'Cause a one-in-a-million chance
Is still a chance, still a chance
And I would take those odds 🖤

Dec's PoV

I woke up feeling empty. I reached out for the warm body next to me but all I felt was the crusty cold sheets beside me, my heart tugged painfully in my chest at the thought it could all have been a dream.... a cruel dream and I was alone again. The thought was irrational but the pain felt so real, I looked around the empty room and looking for evidence that he had been here with me... that I hadn't just imagined it.

My gaze fell on his familiar black denim jacket, hanging over the back of the chair by my bed and I smiled. He wouldn't leave without that jacket... or me.

With sleepy eyes I crawled over to the jacket before scooting back to my original position, too tired to start the day. I buried my face into the ragged material and hummed in satisfaction. It smelt like him, I hugged it tightly and closed my eyes... wishing it wasn't just the jacket I was cuddling and that it was Anth instead.

Ant's PoV

I kept my steps careful as I ascended the stairs, my hands shaking slightly as I carried the tray. I'd been up since 6:00- still similar to prison time but it showed improvement and I was proud of that.

I wanted to make it up to Dec for everything he'd done for me in the past month and for everything I'd put him through in the last 4years so to make a start, I'd made him pancakes.

Quietly I entered the room and my eyes set upon Dec's small curled body, wrapped up underneath the covers hugging the dark scruffy material of my jacket tightly with his face buried in it.

He stirred and looked to me with relief sparkling in his eyes. My heart broke a little. He thought I'd left him.

"Declan?" He sat up but his attention went to the tray of food in my hands, his nose sniffing like an excited puppy. "Did... uh- i... I made you breakfast."

The way his tongue darted out to wet the pink flesh of his tempting lips made me loose my chain of thought before he giggled, snapping me from my trance. I felt a blush rise in my cheeks in a way only Declan could achieve as I sat down on the bed and placed the tray on his lap.

He smiled brightly and placed a sweet kiss on my cheek, "Thankyou so much Anth, you're so sweet. " He mumbled against my skin while I readjusted my position so I could feel his warmth against my side.

"You're welcome precious. You have work today right? So you need a big breakfast to get you through the day." He nodded through a mouthful of pancakes as I laughed and caught the maple syrup running down his chin.

I watched him happily as he dug in, not holding back and inhaling the breakfast and the orange juice I'd made.

Silently I took the tray from his lap once he'd finished and placed it on the table beside us. Before I could turn around myself, his hands were on my face, dragging my lips to his passionate kiss. I moaned at the sweet taste of orange, maple syrup, bacon and Dec. I grinned as he sat up swung, his leg over mine to straddle me.

His hand pressed onto the contours of my chest so I was wedged between his warm body and the cool wood of the headboard.

"You liked it then?" I breathed as his wicked mouth attached to my collarbone.

He giggled and slithered up to dominate my mouth before grinding his ass on my lap, making me gasp and groan. "That answer your question?" He smirked and I growled, flipping our positions and pinning him to the bed.
