The Course Of Nature

It was a beautiful summers day as Ant and Dec strolled through the park. The birds were singing, the sun was shining, there wasn't a cloud in the sky it was as though Mother Nature were smiling down on them. Since announcing they were a couple the support had been immense and the boys could happily go out in public together as they were today.

Placing a checkered rug on a patch of daisy-covered grass, the boys settled down and opened up their picnic basket.

"Right then Mr Donnelly let's see what you've packed us today" Ant smiled at Dec

"I hope you like it" Dec said with a concerned look

"I wouldn't care if there was a bunch of kippers in there, as long as you're here with me nothing else matters" Ant said sweetly
"But there again, I'd prefer it if there wasn't, I'm bloody well starving" Ant added

"Always a charmer" Dec joked

"Righty then" Ant said pulling the things from the basket
"Strawberries, cream, continental cheeses... Ooh very swish Decky" Ant observed

"Just keep going" Dec laughed

"Okie dokie.... Scotch eggs, sausage rolls, ham sarnies and pork pies.... That's more like it!" Ant shouted throwing his hands up in the air

"Shhhh... Ant man" Dec said turning round to see if they'd disturbed anyone

"Aww Decky you're so considerate of other people" Ant said tenderly
Seeing Dec blushing, Ant placed a quick peck on his cheek.
"Anyway, food!" Ant said excitedly wondering where to start first

Several stone heavier the boys packed away the basket and lay back on the blanket.

"Ugh I'm so full" Dec groaned

"Me too" Ant moaned

"C'mon lets walk it off, I wanna see the ducks anyway" Dec said grinning

"Oh crap" Ant suddenly said

"What is it? What's wrong" Dec said with a worried look

"Oh it's nowt Dec, just got a nose bleed that's all" Ant said trying to stop the blood from trickling down his face

"Did you pack any kitchen roll?" Ant asked

"Yeah, hold on... I'll get you some" Dec said springing up onto his feet

Handing Ant the kitchen roll, Dec sat back down and asked
"Are you sure you're ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine don't worry... It's normal to get nose bleeds every now and then" Ant replied

Still not convinced Dec frowned

"Howay man I'm fine... See it's stopped now... C'mon lets go see
those ducks" Ant said pulling Dec up onto his feet

Several hours later and the whole incident was forgotten. They fed the ducks, which Dec particularly enjoyed, they posed for pictures with fans and they basked in the glorious sunshine. By the time the sun began to set Dec still didn't want to go home.

"But Ant" Dec whined

"But Decky" Ant mimicked Dec's voice

"Today has been the best I don't want it to end" Dec complained

"Decs you look shattered, besides which we've still got plenty of cream left from our picnic... If you get what I mean" Ant said with a wink

"In that case lets go!" Dec said running off to the car

Shaking his head and smiling Ant jogged off behind him.
Sitting in the passenger seat Dec was fiddling with the radio as he said,
"I really have loved today you know"

"I know you have, so have I, nothing can spoil it"

Dec smiled in agreement and relaxed back in his seat
Sometime later Dec said,
"Ant you're getting a bit close to the curb aren't you..."

"Nah I'm fine" Ant replied

"Watch out Ant, you gonna bump into that parked car" Dec pointed out the window

"Shush man Decs I'm fine"

"No seriously Ant" Dec said as they approached the car
"ANT!" Dec yelled grabbing a hold of the wheel and swerving the car to the right just in time

Pulling over into a lay-by, Ant shouted,
"What'd you do that for!"

"What'd you mean!?" Dec yelled

"You were gonna crash into that car!" He then shouted

"No I wasn't!" Ant said defensively

"Uh, yeah you were" Dec said confused
"I think I better drive, let's go home" Dec said worried
