Tag's eyes widened at the bow, and she looked over at Specs, trying not to laugh.
Before she could say anything, however, her stomach growled. She tried to eat her spaghetti elegantly and lady-like, taking small bites and chewing slowly.

Normally, Specs would've ravished his food. The plate of spaghetti was more than both of them could handle, a bit different from your regular Tibby's meal of hotdog and water.
"Good?" asked Specs, twisting his fork around to grab the spaghetti on his plate, trying his best to appear well-mannered.

Tag nodded, her mouth full of spaghetti. Unknowingly, she had been taking bigger and bigger bites. And before she knew it, her plate was almost empty.

Specs smiled in return, not realizing how truly hungry he was until he took a bite of the spaghetti. It was wonderful to have real food that wasn't frozen. After a couple of minutes, both of their plates were empty and their stomachs full.
"I say it was definitely a good idea to come here," said Specs, smirking across the table as he eyed both of their plates.

Tag looked up at him, slightly embarrassed, but still smiling.
"Yes, I daresay it was." She lowered her gaze, feeling her cheeks getting hot yet again. "Thank you." She said quietly.

"Of course," grinned Specs, glad that she enjoyed her meal. "You're welcome." He called over the waiter, asking for the bill. Specs secretly didn't want to see it but knew he had to pay the bill. As the waiter walked over, Specs grabbed the money in his pocket, glad to see that he had enough for the night.

Tag bit her lip, wondering if she should even begin to ask him if she could help pay for it. She remembered how Copper reacted to her paying for their meal at Tibby's, and she thought better of it. While Specs was significantly more quiet and laid back than Copper seemed to be, all guys were more or less the same.
"Thank you." She said again. "I know I'm saying that a lot, but I really do mean it."

"Just don't go around tellin' everybody," chuckled Specs, giving the waiter the bill with his money. "Or else they'll ask me to take them here too. This was just for you."
He meant it. He wouldn't do this for anyone else at all and, right now, she was his priority.

Tag stood up and made her way out of the restaurant, more full than she'd ever been in the last year.
Once they got outside, the chilly evening air caused Tag to hug herself tightly. She could think of a million things she wanted to say, but none of them seemed like the right thing to say.

A bit glad to be out of the restaurant and around judging eyes, Specs let out a sigh as they got outside, taking in the night air. Glancing over at Tag and realizing that she was cold, he gently put his arm around her, rubbing her arms for warmth.
"Sorry I don't have a blanket or jacket right now," he said, smirking.

"That's quite all right." Tag replied, glancing up at him. She was quite content to have his arm around her.
It seemed like they had only been walking for a couple minutes, but suddenly the Lodging House was in sight. Tag stopped, not wanting to get too close so as not to be seen by any of the newsies.
She turned to face Specs and looked him in the eye. "I... I know I don't really say too much. My mother always said I was too shy for my own good. But I do like you. A... A lot. Y-you are the sweetest, kindest, smartest..." She trailed off, her nerves finally catching up with her.

Before Tag could even finish her sentence, an impulse took over and before he knew it, he leaned over to kiss her, touching his lips with hers. He didn't care if anyone saw them, he was having the time of his life.

Tag let out a small squeak of surprise, but succumbed to his kiss, closing her eyes and kissing him back.

Specs made sure to be gentle, he didn't want to force her or push it too far. After a couple of moments, he finally leaned back to look at her, high off of what just happened the whole night.
"You're amazing," he whispered. It was all he could think of to say but it was true.

"I'm just... Me." Tag whispered back, reaching over to take his hand.
