In the beginning, it was the two of them sharing a smile that meant very little to anyone who saw it and something else entirely to the two of them. Dec had a lovely smile; a pink tip of tongue barely visible between straight rows of teeth, his eyes ignited with whatever emotion that had drawn the expression across his face.
In the beginning it was the two of them, lying side by side (his flat, not Dec's, because he lived alone). His hair would be a bit on the wild side, every strand out of place as it pressed against the pillow, but Dec would look at him as if they could pretend there was nothing wrong.
But in the beginning, it was the 90s, and no amount of endearing imperfection could hide the glaring prejudice of the world around them.

The VSG Collection - A&D
"He's going to be alright, you know? It's going to be okay. They'll come back, I know they will." There was as much a chance that Holly was right as to her being wrong, and though her words were nice and it was nice to know she believed them, there was no chance that Dec would too. He had always been a worrier, and this was absolutely no exception. Though he found some comfort in Holly's embrace, it was nothing compared to what he could be feeling with his best mate by his side. He needed Ant to be okay. He needed Ant to be safe. He just had to be. There was no other option Dec would ever accept. "I should be out there with him, Holly, protecting him, us looking out for each other. The fact that I can't I- I can't help but worry, those guys don't know him, if it came down to it-" "They'd go back for him, Dec. None of those guys are particularly close to each other, but it's not every man for himself out there. We're all in the same situation, we all want to make it home." - An original AU collection of Ant and Dec fics written by me~ Though this may be an AU, don't be afraid!
