Hank's trouble child // chicago PD

Chapter 20- the good, bad, and ugly.

"What do you want for tea lee?" Antonio said, while standing by the living room doorway. Me and Hank where watching Guardian's of the galaxy vol 1 on the couch. 

"I'm not hungry, I'll just have somethin' later." I replied, cause I genuinely wasn't that hungry. Usually I'll eat cause I have the munchies, so now that I can't rely on that my appetite has really gone down. 

"We'll have some burgers bro, I bought some frozen ones before. They're in the freezer." Hank said, almost like he was answering for me. Antonio just nodded his head and walked back into the kitchen. 

"Hank, I'm really not hungry." I said.

"I don't care, you're eating. End of." 

I suppose that's me told. 

I just rolled my eyes at him and got back to watching guardians of the galaxy. I will forever stand by the fact that this is one of the best trilogies in marvel, along with iron man and obviously all the spider-mans.  

About 30 minutes past, and Antonio walked in with 3 plates. All consisted off Burgers with lettuce and bacon, and chips on the side. Or 'fries' as these two like to call it. 

"Thanks Tonio." Hank said, as he was passed a plate.

"Yeah, nice one." I added, as I was passed mine. 

"I made sure to add no onions to yours lee so don't worry. Here's some mayo for your fries." He replied, as he chucked the bottle of mayonnaise at my head while he sat on his chair next to the couch.  It makes me laugh how well these two know me, It's strange, but in a good way. 

"It's chips, but thanks." I said while laughing. 

"I don't see any Doritos or lays on your plate." Hank stated while looking at me with a funny smile. 

"First of all, lays are called walkers. Second off all, shut up." I said sarcastically, as i put my finger up to my lips. 

"You're getting cheeky." He replied, still with a funny smile, but this time a small laugh too. 

"cheeky or funny?" I said proud of myself. I know I'm not funny all the time. But sometimes I am. I hope I am anyway or this is just embarrassing. whoops.

"touche" Hank replied, as he got down to eating his tea. 

I took a bite of my burger and it was absolutely delicious. But just the thought of eating, made me even less hungry. That didn't english right but you know what I mean. 

Another 5 minutes past and Hank + Tonio had almost finished their tea, while I was stuck on my burger. 

"Eat half of the burger and 5.... chips. Then I'll be happy. " Tonio said, and I just nodded in defeat. But it was also kind of a win because, Antonio just called 'fries' chips. I deserve a prize for that. 

I ripped the burger in half and slowly but surely got through it. And then the chips wasn't too bad because the weren't too big and I could wash them down with the mayo. cause lets be real mayo on top. 

"Well done kid, proud of you." Hank said, while he took my plate to go and do the dishes. 

"Want me to do the dishes Hank, I dont mind." I offered, cause I feel bad when other people do my dishes. 

"No, go get yourself ready for bed, its getting late and we have a day planned tomorrow." He answered.

"Can I sleep in your room tonight?" I asked. I didn't want to sleep in my room for one reason, and one reason only. I'll have the ability to sneak out whenever I want, and get whatever I want. And I know for a fact at about 1 in the morning when I wake up, I'll do just that. However if I'm in hanks room I wont be able too. Simple. 

"You already where, your blankets and teddy are on my bed." He said back while walking into the kitchen. I guess he's 5 steps ahead of me. Also please ignore the fact that I still sleep with teddies. I can't sleep without one. I promise I'm still a cool kid. 

I took that as my time to go and get washed and into my pyjamas. They where always the same. Plaid pj bottoms with a tank top which hank gave me on one of my first nights. 

---------- 1 hour later ---------

"It's getting late, time for bed now yeah?" Antonio said while looking at his watch. It was only 11pm, but considering I start school again soon I need to get back into a rhythm. 

"Yeah, come on kid. Night god bless Tonio." Hank said as he made his way for the stairs. 

"Night Tonio, thanks for making tea." I said, while following Hank. 

I made my way upstairs, and fell onto his bed cause I'm not gonna lie. It's pretty much the comfiest beds I've ever been on. 

"ugh I could so do with a spliff right now to help me sleep." I said while rolling over. Hank was sat on his side of the bed looking at his phone. It was a kings sized bed though, so It was massive, it could fit at least 4 people on it.  

"Come here." He said while opening up his arm closest to me so I could snuggle up. This just makes me seem like a child I know. But I'm not bothered, because at the same time. It was healing my inner child. I never got the chance to do this with anyone when I was younger and couldn't sleep. At least now I have a dad, who understands me, and will help me through all my problems. No matter how big or small.

He rubbed my back in circles while I was cuddled into his side, with my teddy in between. 

You wouldn't believe I was 15 sometimes. But I will take every opportunity I possibly can when it comes to spending time like this with people you're close too. I learnt this lesson when my brother passed, and i realised how many opportunities I turned down. 

"Good night dad."

"Goodnight godbless kid." He replied, as he kissed the top of my head.  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SORRYYYYY this is a bit of a soppy one. 

But just trying to heal my inner child while writing this book so yano xoxoxoxox

also can someone pls tell me it's normal to sleep with teddies. 

Im 17, I'll go out and get absolutely bladdered, probably have a fight with some random person on the way home. But then I'll go to bed and sleep with my teddy like im some innocent child whose not even left primary school yet. It's madness to think about that.

Anyway hope u enjoyed, sorry its soppy but its kinda cute.
