Hold Me Close (Spec Ops Guy/Tank x Reader)

Chapter 16

//; only two updates tonight, a bitch is hungry at 12:30 AM 👁️👄👁️

Tank held your hand as you two walked alongside the streets, noticing how empty they were. "Mm, Tank?" "Yeah?" "Do you happen to know what time it is?" He turned to check for his phone in his bag, before saying, "It's almost two AM." "Hey babe, tanks a lot," you chuckled as you turned to see what his expression was. You would've expected a chuckle or a chortle, but instead, Tank stared at you with such disapproval, you almost wanted to take back your little pun. "Princess, I don't mean this in a rude manner, but never, and I mean NEVER, make a pun as stupid as that," he deadpanned, and you pouted, before Tank picked you up, placing you on his shoulders. You gasped in awe, feeling taller than ever, which was true, but you never thought you'd see from a height taller than seven feet. Everything seemed to stop momentarily, and it was just a beautiful moment between you and your boyfriend, who was walking through the streets while blaring music from his phone. You started playing with his silky hair, and got an idea. You grabbed two hair bands from your wrist and started tying up his hair into pigtails.

"Princess, what're you doing?" Tank asked  as he stopped at a streetlight, trying to look up at you. "Okay okay, hold on. Put me down first," you replied, and he did so. You grabbed your phone and took a picture of him with pigtails. This made you smile widely, and you immediately replaced your lockscreen. You squealed in delight and pulled him down to kiss his plush lips, hugging him tightly. Tank's ears and cheeks were flushed, obviously due to his shyness and shock, but he kissed back gently, before hugging you back as well. Once you pulled away, he sneakily grabbed your phone and cheered, before noticing your lockscreen. "Babe, you put my hair into pigtails?" He whined, and moved to take them out, but you gave him a hard stare. "Don't take them off, baby, you look so adorable!" You replied, and Tank eventually agreed. A few more minutes of walking and singing, and you both heard a rumble come from your stomach. You chuckled nervously, as you were hungry. "You want to see if any places are open?" The silver-haired male asked, and you nodded silently, embarrassed.

"Bub and Pop's! I thought they were closed at this time!" Tank chimed as he noticed the restaurant open, before politely knocking on the door. A young man opened, and he smiled kindly, inviting us inside. The inside was full of protesters eating, protesters who had been incarcerated the day before. 'They're hungry, no wonder the restaurant's open so late,' you thought. "Ah, yes, what can I get you two?" The man asked as he pulled out a notepad, ready to take their order. "Five Rich Boys, whole, and to go," Tank replied as he held your hand. Once the waiter left, he held your hand to his lips and pecked it, making you chuckle. A few minutes later of teasing and kissing each other, the waiter came to drop off the orders in a bag. "Have a nice night, you two," he murmured and left, leaving you and your boyfriend to leave. On the way back home, you don't remember much, except Tank singing to you a snippet of a song he really liked, him singing, "I love to live, and I live for you, I live to love, and I love you." However, what you do remember is that when arriving home, Riot gave Tank a hard stare, ever so politely asking, "Where have you two been."
