Tank x reader

Chapter 3

Y/n wakes up feeling two strong arms wrapped around her waist. She looks over to see Tank snuggled into the crevice of her neck. Her heart literally melted seeing the sight, how she wanted to pinch his cheeks, but instead she wiggled out of his grasp and began to make her way to the bathroom. You quickly shower deciding that you won't wash your hair today and make your wait to Tank's closet. You take one of his hoodies and wear your jeans from the other day. You turn to look at Tank, you smile at how peaceful he looks. He seemed to notice the presence of another person so his eyes flutter open searching the room to see if you were there.

When his eyes finally landed on you he warmly smiled at you and got of bed, stretching his body and you blush to see all his muscles tighten as he stretches. He gets up and walks over to you and hugs you. You're startled by this random gesture but welcome it, your stomach makes multiple backflips as he huddles into your neck. He mumbles a small good morning and heads towards the bathroom.

You decide to leave the cooking to Tank today and sit down on a stool next to the kitchen counter. "We're not going to the protest today," Tank says when he enters the kitchen. You frown at this and ask why. "You're injured! I can't let you go out there, who knows what will happen!" He gives you a disapprovingly look, "I'm sorry but I don't want to see you hurt again. You scared me yesterday when I couldn't find you." You feel the blood rush to your cheeks at this comment and shake your head.

At this, you notice Riot making his way into the room. He kindly waves at you and says hi to Tank. You notice Tank struggling to break at an egg and you snicker at this. "Uhm...could you help me with this?" Tank askes looking back and forth between you and Riot. Riot raises both his hands in defense saying, "You know I'm no better than you man."

You laugh at this and go over and help Tank. You grab the egg from his hand, your hands brushing for a split second. You feel a shiver going down your spine from the feeling of his touch, wanting more so you grab his hand to guide him on how to break the egg properly. "You're whisking too roughly, here let me show you." You say grabbing the bowl showing him then handing it back to him. He begins whisking more gently and slower, you smile at his progress. Meanwhile, Riot stares at the interaction in amusement. Gosh, the chemistry between these two is insane he thinks.

You really don't know anything about Tank. You wanted to know more about him, you didn't even know his real name! "What's your guys' real name?" You blurt out instantly regretting what you said. "Uh..." Riot says looking over at Tank. He seems to be debating whether or not to tell you. "Can I trust you?" He askes, you can feel his eyes burning into your soul. You swiftly nod wanting him to stop staring at you, it was a bit intimidating honestly. "My name is Mateo," he tells you. "Mateo..." you say under your breath making it barely audible. Your head turns to Riot, expectantly waiting for him to say his name. He notices this and says, "I'm Alejandro, but you can call me whatever you like." You nod at this not knowing what to say. The rest of the breakfast was accompanied by a rather awkward silence and only bits of small talk. You were the first to get up, regretting this as you felt the pain in your thigh. You wince at the feeling but continue to make your way to the sink, you wash your dish and head over to the living room. You curl up on one of the comfy couches and turn on the TV.

"Already making yourself at home I see?" You turn to see Mateo smirking at your flustered expression. You turn your attention back to the TV but then bite your lip considering asking the question that had been bugging you all morning.

"Tank..?"

"Call me by my name," Mateo says.

"Right...Mateo, could I ask you something?"

He nods, "Go ahead."

"What are we?" You ask searching his face for any hint of the answer.

"We're anything you want to be, Flower."

You nod and look away, "So...are we dating?"

"If that's what you want, then yes we are dating."

Your face bursts into a wide smile at his response and you get up to cuddle up against him. He welcomes you into his arm and you both watch TV in comforting silence.

This chapter is a little shorter than the others but I've been having really bad writer's block and I was a bit sleep deprived writing this, haha. Small heads up there's gonna be a tiny bit of drama in the next chapter. <333
