Cute. I think about the future when the boys might have families, and how they'll interact when they all get together. :)

Tank does want in with that group on some level, while another side of him would rather shoot Johnny than look at him. I think a lot of it is jealousy about Ripp, really. As much as Tank doesn't want to deal with Ripp most of the time, he hates the idea that someone else has filled that role. Someone who's Better Than Him In Every Way.

Yeah, it's interesting to think about how characters that don't normally cross paths would interact. I get to do that a little in the upcoming Frances chapter.
