Animals + Promises - A Z.Tao x Reader

Key to Our Hearts

The next morning, Tao and I got ready and went downstairs together, going out for breakfast. I could tell that he was happy, no Jianyu to distract me from paying attention to him. I was happy too, my sad mood from the other day had faded.

"Hey (y/n)!" Tao shouted across the hotel room. 

"Ya?" I shouted back, walking towards the sound of his voice. 

"Do you know where my keys are?" I jogged into the bedroom to find Tao looking through all of our laundries. He looked up and instead of answering, I started laughing. Tao's hair was a complete mess and he had a wild look in his eyes. I held back laughing by covering my mouth and watching Tao's panda who was suddenly searching for what was wrong. 

"(y/n)!" Tao said sharply, snapping me out of laughing. 

"Love, you need to fix your hair..." Tao's hand went to his head and he sighed. "Okay, I will. Do you know where the keys are though?"

I smirked, "Fix your hair first and then I'll hand them over." He cocked his head and stood up, pacing towards me. I pulled my hand out from behind my back and jingled Tao's keys between my fingers. He kept walking towards me and pushed me against the wall, taking my hand with the keys and pinning it above me.

"Hand them over..." he said softly, trying to get me to give in. I shook my head, pulling against his hand that was holding my wrist. 

He was strong and I gave up quickly. New tactic, make a cute move. Instead of fighting, I went loose. He let go immediately fearing he'd hurt me. I took this as an escape and pulled my arm down, escaping from his hold and trying to run towards the door. Noticing I tricked him, he pulled me into a back hug. 

"Hey Meiying, I love you but I'd like to get this day started." 

I smirked, "say that again and I'll give you them." 

Tao sighed smiling. "(Y/n). I love you." 

Melting in his arms, I turned around and pulled his face down to mine. And during our gazillionth sweet kiss of the morning, I tucked his keys into his jacket pocket.
