Thomas Shelby x Kidnapped!Reader

An imagine in pieces : Requested? I think so?

Tommy was always precautious when you went out.

Finn or John would usually accompany you when you went out

But now it was Isiah who kept you company when you where out

“Stop looking at women like that Isaiah, it’s disrespectful.”

He chuckled and shook his head.

What a bean.

You had been a big fan of reading.

Once and a while Tommy would send you out to find new books to read so you could tell him all about it when he tried to sleep.

The library was like a maze and being the clumsy person you are, you lost Isaiah.

As you read around the library, you would hear Isaiah calling out for your name.

You wandered around and slightly panicked when he stopped calling your name

Turning onto one of the bookshelve corners, you saw Isiah on the floor.

Then everything turned black

When Isiah went into the Garrison, it was late, he was bloody and tired.

Tommy could have almost killed Isiah if it weren’t for Michael, telling him that Isiah is the only person who knows what happened.

“Send a search team, every man, working or not, I want them searching everywhere for Y/n, now!”

Tommy not sleeping for days until he found the first lead to who might have taken you.

Drinking heavily because you aren’t there to stop him.

Him not admitting that he misses you.

“We’ll find her Tommy.”

“I asked you to do one thing for me and you lose her. You fuckin lose y/n, Isiah! Do you know what that means?! That means I’m fuckin’ lost to shit because she isn’t here!”

People not realizing how much you meant to Tommy until now.

Tommy still not sleeping because at night he would go out and try to find you himself.

Polly trying to calm him down but knowing she couldn’t.

Everyone knew you where his anchor- Everyone.

Arthur staying up with Tommy a few days, making sure his brother was in check.

Ada reassuring him.

But when he got a clear lead. Oh how he almost killed every man in that room until he got a straight answer.

When they had located where they were keeping you, a whole mission was set up second by second to make sure you would be safe.

When he walked into the building, you were set up like bait.

Tied up onto a chair in the middle of the room.

Beat up.

Cut.

Bruised.

Soaked in freezing water.

His heart shattered.

You looked up at him and smiled. “Is Isaiah alright?” God, you didn’t think he could ever look so upset. “Is he alive?”

“He’s alright.” He slowly stepped closer.

“No, don’t. Don’t come near me. I’m bait, Tommy. We both know it.” He hated that you where right. “Make them suffer Tommy. It’s not like I can go anywhere.” The light chuckle that came out of your lips scared him. He knew that if this was your last moments, you would be okay with it.

As you sat in the chair, your heart started beating slower. You had been starved, dehydrated and beaten. Your body couldn’t handle it anymore but you determined to stay awake. His name would slip out of your lips a few times, trying to warn him that your body was giving out. But then everything went black again.

You were safe at home when you woke Tommy was by your side with the book you had picked out at the library. You dropped it when they took you. “Don’t be angry at Isaiah. It was my fault.” He looked at you, his expression was apathetic but his eyes gleamed.  “I wandered off on my own. He called out for my name when he couldn’t find me, I found him on the floor. That’s when they took me.”

Never have you seen Tommy so heartbroken You knew he was looking at every ingury.

The cut on your lip

The bruise on your cheek

The rope marks on your neck

“I’m alive, Tommy. That’s all that matters.”

“You could have died.”

“But I didn’t. And don’t you dare give me some bullshit about leaving me because, “it’s the best for me” when it’s fuckin’ not. I knew what I was getting into and nothing will ever pull me away, Tommy.” You put your hand on top of his, as it rested on the lower portion of your thigh.“I made the most amazing mistake of falling in love with a Shelby and I’m never takin’ it back.”

PEAKY BLINDERS 5.02  — Michael fffffffucking Gray returns (insp.)

Burning Desire

Chapter 1

Ruth sat in her office looking over papers and shipments, when her second-in-command and close friend, Leticia storm in with a sour look. Ruth didn’t need to look up to see that she is pissed.

“What happened now?”

“There was an accident again at the brothel, one of the girls got hurt.”

“Again? You have to talked to Talia about that I don’t run the brothel. “

“Who you think called me? She said she got a hold of it but the sound of her voice made seem she don’t. I told you should have gotten me to be in charge. ”

“The last thing we need is for our clients to walk out with missing teeth.”

“That happened once and he shouldn’t have gotten mouthy with me.”

“Yeah well because of your action, we almost got shut down and now he doesn’t have to pay whenever he comes by.” Leticia grimace.

“That was years ago, I changed now, I can control myself.”

“Leti...”

“I can. You and I know Talia isn’t meant to deal with shit like this anyway. “ Ruth sigh.

She thought for a moment before nodding, “Fine. Let’s go. ” Leti nodded in appreciation walking out of the room well Ruth grabs her coat and pistol. She walks out of her office to noisy factor, as the many women work making guns and bullets. Ruth down the stairs to her secretaries.

“Dotty. Pearl. If anybody comes tell them I will be out for a well.”

“When should we tell them you be back?” Sorry asked moving to look at her boss over her glasses.

Ruth looked at the clock on the wall and back at her, “Maybe 10. 15 minutes.”

“You got it, babes” Pearl said going back to her book.

Ruth and Letitia walked down the streets of Lambeth. They stopped in front of a tavern and knocked twice before being let in by a man. He nodded towards the women before going back to serving his customers, they went up the stairs to a door connected to the next building to find some of the half-naked women surrounding a crying girl.

“Where’s Talia?” Ruth said looking around for Talia.

“No idea, love “ One of the girls said holding a bloody cloth.

Leticia sucks her teeth, “TALIA!” Leticia shouted, a young woman stood from behind the bar and quickly made her way towards Ruth and Leticia.

“Ruth. W-what are you doing here? I said I had everything under control. ” She looked towards Leti than at Ruth.

“Yeah well we wanted to see how bad it was, we heard one of the girls got hurt,” Leticia spoke up

“Ye-yeah, I’m sorry you had come down here. I didn’t want to worry Annie since she’s on leave.”

“Yeah. The last thing we need is angry pregnant women coming down here. ” Ruth smirked at looked at the women.

“Yeah.” Talia chuckled.

“Where’s the rest of the women?”

“Up there...” she nodded towards the stairs, “...In the rooms.”

Ruth looked back at the ladies and turned towards Talia, “Thanks Talia, you can head back to the bakery.” Talia nodded not saying a word, she grabs her purse and walked out the door.

Ruth and Leti stood in front of the women, “So what happened?” Some of the women part ways to let Leti and Ruth take a look at the girl's arm.

“An odd bloke came in looking a little skittish, you can tell he was high.” One of the girls said. Ruth nodded and looked at the crying girl.

“Can you tell me, what happened next?”

“After Talia rin-ringed me, I took him to m-my room and-and...” tears fell down her face, as she threw herself in Ruth’s arms making her run her back gently.

“It’s okay, everything’s gonna be fine. “ she let go of the girl so she can get her to wound clean. She nodded to the side at Leti and another worker.

“Did you get a name?”

“Yeah, luckily he wrote it down.” The worker said handing Ruth a brown leather book, the women pointed at the time and date of the man came in.

“Does that name look familiar to you?” Leticia asked Ruth, the women looked closed, and before looking at Ruth again.

“Oh no.”

“What?” The worker looked at the book at the name, “Do you know him?”

“Yeah.” Ruth said closing the book, “Can you look after the girls for a bit, Leticia would be back to take over after we get back.” The girl nodded taking the book and getting back to work.

Ruth and Leticia said their goodbyes to the ladies. As they descended the stairs to the next building, both women went out the back door of the bar to not be seen.

“I need to finish some paperwork back at the factory. Remember. No fighting. ” Ruth said as they both walked down the street.

“Of course.” Ruth handed her the keys to the Ford, “ Call Cook to tell him what happened, and make sure she gets her arm look after properly.” She nodded before heading to the car. Ruth walked into the factory towards Pearl and Dotty.

“Anything happened well I was gone?” Ruth asked pulling out a cigarette.

“No, but there is a man in your office claiming he your 4:00.” Pearl lighted the cigarette.

“I thought I told you to cancel all my appointment.”

“Must have forgotten.” Ruth rolled her eyes and place the cigarette tip against Dotty’s lips, she took a drag before passing it to her sister.

“Did he give you a name?”

“I think it was, Theodore?” She looked towards her sister puzzled, “No, that wasn’t it, it was something with a T I think. ”

Ruth looked at both of the sisters, “You two are the worst. ” She says walking past their desk.

“But you still love us, right?.” Ruth shook her head walking past some of her employees, saying hello, and nodded towards them before getting to her office.

Ruth opened the door not paying attention to the man sitting in one of her leather chairs, she took off her coat and sat it behind her chair.

“Sorry for the wait Mr...?”

“Shelby. Tommy Shelby.” The man in front of her said.

“Lorena..”

“Wait, Shelby?.” She mutters trying to remember why that name sound familiar, “The Peaky Blinder bloke.” She leaned back in her chair.

“Yep.”

She hummed, “So, what do I owe the pleasure, Mr. Shelby?”

“I require some guns. ”

“What type of guns?” She said.

“Some Webley revolver and a couple of marlin models.” Ruth nodded.

“Well, Webley is about 3k well the marlin is 6k.”

“I give you 2,500 for both guns.” Tommy stared at the beautiful woman in front of him with a stone look.

“My guns are worth more than 2,500. Mr. Shelby. ” She laughs. She twists her pen in her hands.

“Thomas.” Tommy dug his hand into his pockets making Ruth's hand hover over her gun, “Pardon?”

“Mr. Shelby is my father. You can call me Thomas or Tommy if you like. “ he said.

“Well, as I said before Mr. Shelby, my guns are worth more than 2,500. “ she said ignoring his offer

He took a cigarette and put it in his mouth, “Can I smoke in here?”

“Sure” He looked at her gentle stare before lighting the cig and taking a puff, he continue talking, “I heard through the grapevines that you in need of men, so I’m offering you some. For concession on the guns.” Ruth took a minute before answering.

“Seem like you heard wrong, Mr. Shelby. I have enough men here.” She smiled.

“I can see, but not enough to be everywhere at once. “ he replied.

“How many?”

“Twenty. ” Ruth scoffed at the number.

“I need more than 20 men.”

“You get more men when I see how good your guns are.” He said standing up, “So we got a deal or not?” Ruth looked at his hand for a moment, having a mental battle between herself.

“Come with me.” She stood up and ignoring his hand, and walking out the door with Thomas following close behind. She guiding him all around the building towards the drawing-room.

As they walked down corridor after corridor, they finally made it to the room.

“Theresa?” They walked into the room to find a girl sleeping on her drafting table, “Theresa!” She snapped her fingers near the girl's ears, startled her awake. She looked around for a bit for her glasses putting them on before seeing her boss and some man.

“What can I make for you today, ma’am?” She yawns and stretches picking up her charcoal pencil.

Ruth looked at Thomas, “How many do you need?”

“Seven Webley revolvers and five marlin models.” The young girl started drawing different models of the guns showing Tommy which one he might prefer. After about an hour of them picking and changing the design of the guns. Ruth bid the girl goodbye as she left withdrawing in hand.

“Here.” Ruth handed the drawing to one of her workers back at the main area, the girl left to go receive the replica of the guns to test it out for him. The two stood quietly as everyone worked around them, Tommy would glance now and then towards her. Looking at her plump lips to her hips, sinful thoughts running through his mind as he imagines doing the most unholy thing to her body.

The worker came back with the replicas along with bullets and handed them to her boss. Ruth thanked her before she went back to work, “Follow me.” She and Tommy walked up a couple of levels before going to another part of the building to an empty room. Their holes all over the white grayish walls were painted targets were set up.

“Here. Try it out.” Ruth handed the revolver to Tommy with the bullets as well, Tommy looked at the gun then back at Ruth before grabbing it and shooting the wall. Finishing empty the chamber, he tried the marlin next. He does the same thing looking impressed at the kick it has along with the high velocity.

“So?”

Thomas looked up from the gun towards Ruth, “It doesn’t have that power like the Russians but it does.” She rolled her eyes as he continued to talk, “ Is 32 men enough. ” Ruth tilted her head to the side a bit and walked up closer to him, “...so do we have a deal?” he watched her closely as she stands in front of him. She stared deeply into his icy eyes before answering.

“ I know theirs a war brewing in Small Heath and I also know you barely have enough men to help you fight. Let alone give me, so I propose is I let you hold the guns and I give you some people... “ he was taken back by her knowing his solution but he didn’t show it.

“Exchange for?”

“Your assistance, I have a couple of business I would like to open in other areas like London and Small Health-“

“ As much as your offer sound promising, I have to decline. There’s too much going on in small health and throwing your drugs in the mix isn’t worth it...” Ruth clenched her jaw as he continued to speak, “...your not the only one, who has done their research.” He set the gun against the wall and looked backed at her.

Ruth rolled her eyes at his words, “We don’t run drugs, we run a legitimated business.”

“Listen, I’m not judging you. I’m the last person to but the evidence speaks for itself. “

“As I said, we don’t run drugs. People I work with doing but not my people. ” he nodded understanding as she cleared her throat before continuing, “So, now that we on the same page again, as I was saying I want to open a new business and I want my people to work there. “ he thought for a moment, his eyes drifting towards her lips wondering how they would feel against his-.

“Hello? Do we have ourselves a deal or not?” She whistle catching his attention, he nodded stiffly pulling his hand out in front of him, “We have a deal.” She shook his hand firmly, they both stared into each other’s eyes.

“Ma’am, someone in your office, said it an emergency.” A young man came in making the two pull apart. She nodded towards the man before watching him leave, she backed at Thomas.

“Come by tomorrow morning, so we can continue with our arrangements just so you know what you getting yourself into with me.” He gave her a swift nod before following her out of the room, the walk down to the main floor was silent between them. As they got outside of the factory, Thomas looked towards Ruth.

“You know what’s funny?” He said pulling out another cigarette and lighting it, “What?” She looked up at him.

“We gonna be working together and I don’t even know your full name.” As he exhales his car pulled up, she watched as he gets in. She smirked as she leans forward towards the window, “That is funny.” She said taking the cig from him and taking a drag. She blew it out to the sky and looked back at him, “Have a safe trip, Mr. Shelby.” She tapped on the hood of his car before stepping back.

After the car drove off she threw the cig on the ground before headed back inside to see Pearl and Dotty smirking at her, “What?”

“He's cute.”

“Very cute.”

“He's our new client, so whatever you two are thinking get out of your head. ”

“I wonder if he has a brother?” They said in unison, Ruth rolled her eyes before commenting, “Get back to work.” The girls giggled as they go back to their magazines. Ruth makes her way up the stairs to her office, she takes a seat in her chair.

“What you doing here, will?” She didn’t look up at the man as she continued her paperwork.

“What can a man see how his baby sister is doing?”

“Not if it is to spy on her.” Will rolled his eyes at his sister.

“You know I do it out of love.” This time it Ruth turn to roll her eyes.

“What you want I’m working.” She said looking back down at her paperwork.

“I heard Augustine talking....” he stopped looking for a reaction at the mention of their other siblings.

“And?....” she kept writing, she didn’t want to give her brother the satisfaction of seeing her nervous at what he was gonna say next. “I heard him talking about an arranged marriage, and...”

“And...?” She said again looking up from her work.

“They want to give Isaias to an Italian girl in London, so they gonna set up a meeting and I need you to vote no. “

“Do Isaias know?” Will shook his head no, Ruth rested her chin in her fist looking worried.

“What’s wrong. “

“I don’t know, something just doesn’t feel right. Augustine wouldn’t suggest something like this unless it was serious, you know.” Will took in what his sister said.

“You think someone in our faction did something to piss off the Italians.” As Will was talking a boy walked in and handed Ruth a paper, “Only one way to find out.” She turned the paper to show her brother.

I Got You

warning attempted rape

Faith with her siblings talked amongst themselves as they waited for their father to show, “What you think he called us in here for?” Faith asked her brother, Jordan.

“No idea, but I heard he been in a mood lately. ” He said inhaling the cigarette, Reina waved the smoke away from her as she sat in the leather seat between Jordan and William, “I thought the whole point of you working with daddy was to watch over him, all this time you been around him. You have no idea what going on?” She asked.

“Yeah, well it’s hard to make sure his okay if he always sending me off to do something else. And when I do try to follow him I always end up losing him, that man really knows how to throw people of his trail....” Reina rolled his eyes at her brother excuses.

“Maybe it’s good news this time?...” Will said fixing his glasses, Reina gave her brother annoyed look, “There’s never good news, when your a Shelby.”

“I wouldn’t say that....” Jordan put out the cigarette as him and his siblings stood up as their father stood by the door with a lady by his side, Tommy walked to his seat behind the desk with Grace by next to him. He waved his children to seat as he linked his hands together in front of him, he watch as they slowly took their seat.

Faith elbowed Reina as she was giving Grace the third degree, “How have you been, daddy? It feels like we haven’t seen you in days. ” Tommy smiled.

“It been a busy few months. But I’m fine, sweetheart.” Before faith could ask her father something else, Reina cut her off, “Daddy, who is this?” She stared the women up and down with distaste.

“This is Grace. Grace these are my children, my oldest Jordan and Faith...” Jordan tipped his cap towards Grace with a smile, as Faith smiled.

“Hello...” Grace shook both of their hands, Tommy looked towards Reina and Will, “These are my youngest Will...” Grace watches as Will stood up on crutches, making her stare at his legs. Will shuffle in his spot as he felt her staring at his bad leg making Grace look up apologetic.

“I-I’m sorry-.” Will shook his head as he shook Grace’s hand as he balance on his crutches, “Don’t be people always stare at it, I’m use to it...” He chuckled fixing his glasses, Grace smiled apologetic again as she turned to the girl, “...And Reina, she baby of the family.” Reina brows snapped together the way her father called her “the baby of the family”.

“Now that we all meet and got acquainted, I have great news. ” Thomas laced fingers through Grace’s making her lean in to him, “Me and Grace are getting married. She gonna be your step-mom.” He looked at her fondly as she does the same, Faith and her brothers looked shocked at the couple well Reina looked disgusted.

“I’m sorry, what?” Reina said, making her father and his fiancé turn toward her, “ I thought I heard you say you gonna a marry her.” Faith looked nervously between her father and sister.

“I did, me and Grace are getting married.” Faith spoke up before her sister could say anything stupid, “Don’t you think you moving too fast, dad. I mean we barely know her.” Jordan nodded in agreement, Thomas sighed.

“You all are still young, it’s complicated..” Will glanced towards his sister as she  glared daggers both at their father and Grace, “...But It would mean the world to us to have you all be part of the wedding.” Grace quickly says, Reina tried not to roll her eyes at Grace trying to play perfect wife.

“ Is this really what you want, daddy?” Faith said, Thomas asked himself the same question since his wife died, “Yes..” Faith knows her father like the back of her hand and even through his answer wasn’t convicting, she care too much about her father ‘s happiness to call him out on it, “ If you’re happy, we’re happy. Right?” She look at Reina with a hard stare, making her roll her eyes, “Right..” Faith gave her that look that only mothers can conjure up.

“Happy wife, happy life.” she said sarcastically, Faith rolled her eyes.

“Close enough..” She smiled towards Grace, “Welcome to the family, Grace.” Grace happily pulled Faith into a hug catching her off guard, Faith looked over Grace’s shoulder to her dad smiling at them.

A knock came from the other side of the door making them break apart, “Come in..” one of the maids walked in telling them the food was almost finished and the rest of Shelby’s have arrive, he nodded telling her they be out, making her leave. He held out his arm to Grace as they made their way out the door with his childern following behind. 

William lean against the door frame of his father office making his family stop and look worried at him, “You go without me, I’ll catch up with you all soon, I just need to rest for a bit..” 

“Is your leg bothering you again?” Thomas asked walking towards his son, Will  nodded with pain written all over his face making his father rub his hair, “Why don’t you stay in my office for a bit and we call you when the food ready.” Will nodded.

“I’ll stay with him..” Reina offered moving towards her brother, “Are you sure, I can watch over him...” Reina waved her sister in dismissal.

“Yeah, its fine. Consider it a sorry for earlier.” she said to her sister, making Faith look at her suspicious, “...and I kind of don’t want to be anywhere near Aunt Pol, when she finds out dad’s getting married.” Faith grimaced at the idea of her great aunt might cause a scene at the news, Thomas kissed the top of Will’s head before moving to kiss Reina temple as he walked back to his soon to be wife as they walked down the corridor with Jordan and Faith in toe.

Reina helped Will inside their father office, closing the door behind them. Will sat down in the leather seat as Reina went behind her father desk, “ Hurry up! I don’t want anyone coming back and finding us snooping through dad’s stuff.” Reina looked at the paper on his desk before moving to opening his draws.

“Who knew you were such a good liar, you could be the next Chaplin. “ Will ignored his sister was he looked through folders that his sister passed to him, he never liked lying to his dad expectably about his condition.

“Damn it...” Reina slammed the draw closed, making Will glare at her, “Try slamming it a little harder, I think everyone didn’t hear you.” He hissed.

“There’s nothing, here.” Reina said putting everything back, “Well, we tried..” Will shrugged.

“Maybe it’s at the betting shop.” William shook his head as he saw the wheels turning in his sister head, “Nia, no!”

“Why not, I’m telling you that women rubs me the wrong way. I don’t trust her.”

“You don’t trust anyone that isn’t part of this family.” Reina folded her arms in defeat.

“I’m telling you, Will. Something just ain’t right with her.” Will could tell this new of their father getting married isn’t taking a good troll on Reina.

“Nia, I love you. I really do but, you have to get over it. Dad is going to marry Grace and she gonna be our step mom, that is that. All we can do is be their for dad.” Reina played with the necklace her mother gave her, she hated when her brother was right. She sighed and nodded.

“Your right...”

“I know I am.” He smirk

She rolled her eyes as she helped William up as the bell ring signaling the food is ready, they closed the door behind them before walking to the dinning room. Everyone was there waiting on them, “Hope we didn’t keep you all waiting.” Will said as he sat next to Arthur, he laid his crutches against the table.

“Nope, you actually on time.” Thomas said as he watch his brother mess about with son, Reina took at seat between Faith and Finn.

“Did I miss anything.” She asked watching Faith take a sip of her wine, “Only Aunt Pol ripping Tommy a new one.” Fine said digging in, she gathered as much as Polly glared daggers at Grace.

“At least I’m not the only one who hates her.” She whispered turning to her food.

“So Tommy, when is the wedding?” Ads asked taking a sip of her wine, Thomas cleared his throat.

“In three days...” Polly slammed her glass down on the table making everyone freeze, “Why so soon?” She asked.

“You know with the business growing fast, why not do it sooner rather than later.” Polly scoffed before going back to her food, sending glares at Grace and Tommy every now and then.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“There’s no way in hell, I’m wearing this..” I looked at myself in the mirror, trying to adjust the dress.

“What’s wrong with it?” Polly asked. I walked out of the bathroom and stood in front of my aunts and Faith. I watched my sister cover her mouth, “Everything...” I groan as I walk the crystals poke me.

“It poking the shit out of me, and I look like a goddamn chandelier.” A giggle escape from Ada and Faith making me glared at them.

“Well...” Polly walked around me, before glancing at me, “It’s not too bad, we may have to close the church windows. We don’t want you blinding the guest, now do we.” The women bust out laughing as I glared angrily at Polly.

We glanced towards the door as my father walked in with his suit, I couldn’t tell if he was surprise or happy. When he saw me in the dress his wife picked out for me.

“You look-umm shining.” He joke making Faith and Ada giggle behind me, I grab the nearby pillow on the couch and threw it across the room at them making them giggle even more, “Daddy, I can’t wear this it doesn’t fit and it keeps poking me.” He walked up to me and examined the dress. 

“The wedding starts in a few hours, maybe you can wear the other dress she brought you.” I looked towards Faith.

“I thought you said she only brought the one.” Faith shrugged.

“ I thought so too, I guess she had a back-up. Just in case...” I look back at my father.

“I take it...” my dad left calling for the maid to bring the dress, “It can’t surely be worse than this one, right?” The ladies in the room wrinkled their nose at the chances of the dress being even worse than the one I got on.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I clenched my jaw as we rode in the car to the church, I pulled at my dress for tenth time since i walked out of the house. My head feel against the window as a familiar song came on making me close my eyes and remember a memory with my mother.

I remember walking into the kitchen to find her cutting up potatoes and carrots for supper, she was swaying in her blue dress as the music from the radio plays.

Goodness knows what the end will be

Oh I don't know where I'm at

It looks as if we two will never be one

Something must be done:

She swirl around the kitchen like a princess, singing along to the tune.

You say either and I say either,

You say neither and I say neither

Either, either neither, neither

Let's call the whole thing off

I adore her beauty from where I stood, her dark skin shining from the sun coming through the window. Her beautiful black curls bouncing as she dance, sometimes when you stand very still it’s feels like time stops.

You like potato and I like potahto

You like tomato and I like tomahto

Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto.

Let's call the whole thing off

I giggled as she use the wooden spoon as a microphone, she stopped and looked at me. She covered her face in embarrassment and laughed as she got caught, she waved me over making me run into her arms. She picks me up and swirl me around, I remember giggling as I held ion to her tightly. She sat me back on my feet as our favorite part came on making me sway to the music like her.

You like vanilla and I like vanella

You saspiralla, and I saspirella

Vanilla vanella chocolate strawberry

Let's call the whole thing off

We sang together as she held my hands in hers as she swirl me around and dip me, all in the while my father walks in on us. He watches us in amazement as we try to hit the note like Ella, as I continue dancing I didn’t realize my mother stopped and notice my father. Her smiled lured him into her hold, he danced slowly with her.

I smiled as I saw the love in their eyes, the unbreakable bond between my father and mother. I stood off to the side as they had their moment together, trying to spend as much time as they can before my father would be pulled away for work.

For now we know we need each other so,

Let's call the whole thing off.

The car door slammed closed jumping me from my dream, I looked out the window to see the church. I sighed before getting out of the car before the man could open it and shutting it, I walked up the steps of the church with my heels clicking with every step I took. The moment I walked in I felt all eyes were on me, men in uniforms with their wife’s stared at me, walking further in I saw Grace talking to one of the men in uniform.

I guess Grace’s side of the family, they looked at me shock and with distaste probably thinking I was the help that walked through the wrong door. Only if those fool’s knew.

Ignoring them I continued my walked to my seat with my family, Faith held Esme’s baby in her lap as Esme dealt with one of john’s youngest. Finn handed me s pile of paper asking me to pass it down, I looked at the other side of the room to Grace’s family as they look annoyed at us. All things considering we were the loudest in the church, I looked at my father as he looked agitated at us which only made me try not to smirk.

As the Organ starts playing we all got up with the help of Ada we got William up so he can see. We all watch as Grace walked down the aisle with her father, we sat down as the minister starts to talk after about what felt like hour my father kissed Grace making her his wife. I clapped as everyone around me got out of their seats and cheered happily, they walked down the aisle to the church doors. After congratulation were said for both side, we gathered around and took a picture.

Faith stood next to me as we got our picture taken with my dad and Grace, after pictures were taken. Everyone got in their cars and went to the ceremony, dad wanted me and William to ride with him and Grace since we were the youngest. The whole car ride there was spent with silence, Grace would try start a conversation with me but I would reply with short answer making it quiet again.

The ceremony like the wedding was the bore, the only entertainment was hearing Arthur and John tell stories of dad in his baby years or teen years. Luckily the ceremony ended early so the real fun can start, this time dad wanted to ride with William and Jordan as he wanted to talk them. So i was riding with Faith.

“How was the car ride with dad and Grace?”

“Awkward. She kept trying to start a conversation with me, but I wasn’t in a mood. ”Faith side eye me as she sighed.

“Nia, I know you don’t like her. You made that clearly on several occasions but she’s-.”

“It’s not that...” I played with my necklace, “It’s not that I don’t like her, it’s the fact that it feels like he trying to replace mom with her.” I looked down at my hands.

“I had another dream about her, y’know. This time she was dancing around the kitchen with that blue dress she loved so much, and dad walked in on us. As a child I never knew how much two people can love each other until I watched them danced slowly in kitchen. ” I looked up towards Faith hearing her sniffle she had tears falling down her cheek.

Her smile didn’t reach her as she looked at me, “Mind handing me a tissue.” She chuckled as I pulled out a couple from her purse, giving it to her. She thanked me as she dab tissue under her eyes so she didn’t mess up her make up.

“I remember that you know, you ran into my room like the house was on fire. You pulling me from my room with my camera and having me take a picture, but you wouldn’t believe how many similar pictures of them is in my room until this day. ” i was surprised to hear that she still have pictures of mom and dad, I thought e she hide them away in a dusty room like dad.

“You don’t have to worry about forgetting her, whenever you need a reminder of her love just come to me and I tell you stories you haven’t heard it. If you need a reminder of her beauty like I said my door is always open and I show thousand among thousands from pictures of her with us.” I moved closer to Faith laying my head on her shoulder, she rest her head on mines as she drove to the party.

We finally pulled up to the reception, the moment we walked in Faith was swish away by Grace to meet some of the women in her family. Leaving me to roam the place until one of my father’s man told me he wanted to talk to me and  lead me to the kitchen, couple of men stood around talking as they waited.

 I leaned against the shelf away from the entrance, I watch Isaiah walk towards me .“I don’t think I ever seen you in a dress before Nia, it looks good.” Isaiah said getting all in my personal space, “But it looks so much better on the floor of my room.” He whispered close to my ear and smiled, I move my hand up his chest before giving lopsided grin and muttering.

 “Or mines...” I winked before moving away from him as my family came into the area, I stood next to Michael. My dad started going on a rant about how everyone have to be on their best behavior since Grace’s family are here.

“ I can’t stretch this enough. No fighting...” I rolled my eyes as he told everyone of his men and brothers what they can’t do or say. He turned to me and pointed, “And no back talk, their gonna be part of this family. So you treat them with the same respect you give me and your uncles, you hear me?”

 “Got it...” he walked close to me making Michael move out the away, “I mean it, Reina. I want you and your attitude in check, today is important to Grace....and me.” 

“I said I got it.” He stared down at me as if I was a child, he huffed in frustration before finally telling everyone not fuck this up for him. I glared at my dad as he pushed waiter on the floor leaving the man to pick up the broken the glass. After the last man got out of the kitchen, I helped the server up and apologized for my father action trying to help him with the mess. “It’s alright, you should go enjoy the party.” I apologized once again before leaving out of the kitchen.

I walked into the main room towards the mini bar, I tapped on the counter catching the bartender attention, “ Whiskey,” He nodded putting a glass in front of me and pouring my drink, I thanked him and down it without a thought. I gave him a tenner for the whole bottle which gladly oblige, not too long I was joined by Jordon, Finn, Isaiah, and Michael.

We spent hour and half taking shots and laughing at the bar at one point I’m pretty sure I was dare to drink from the bottle but I can’t remember, soon we ended up almost drinking the whole bottle. We kind of had to cut things short since Finn couldn't hold his liquor for shit, me and Jordan watched in disgrace as Finn was carried away by Isa and Michael to the car.

“And he call himself a Shelby.” We chuckled as we turned forward again taking another shot, before can take a second William limped behind us, “Have any of you seen, Faith.” 

‘“Not since she was dragged away by Grace.”

“Why? You ready to go?” Jordan asked taking a shot before getting off the stool, we looked at each as we saw the worried all over William’s face as he looks around the room for Faith. 

“She was suppose to take me home, but she had to go fetch her purse. That was thirty minutes ago.” I got off the stool and stood next to Jordan, “She’s probably just got lost, come on we look for her.”

“Shouldn’t we tell dad first just in case.” I looked around the room to find my dad talking with some of Grace’s family with her by his side, “No, we don’t want to worry him on his special day.” I walked to the stairs with William and Jordan in toe as we looked around, we looked through every room upstairs and didn’t find her.

“There’s like a hundred rooms in here, there’s no way we be able to find with only three of us.” Before we can go and tell our dad we heard a crush from down the hallway, we ran and down the hall and took a right before we heard sounds coming from a room.

“Get off of me!” Without thinking Jordan kicked the door down and making the man and Faith look towards the doorway giving her a chance to knee the bastard in his nuts. She pushed him off her making him fall to the ground, Faith got off the bed and went towards into my arms. 

Jordan ended up tackling the man to the ground making him drop his gun, we watched as they brawl around over the floor. I looked in fear as the man got on top of Jordan beating repeated in the face, scared I couldn’t stop William in time as he swung his crutch at the man knocking him off Jordan. William kept repeatedly hitting the man, until he got kicked in the stomach knocking the air out of him. Faith held us behind her was the man started walking told us.

“Don’t you fucking touch them..” He grits out clenching onto the man pants leg making the man kick Jordan in the face causing him to spit out blood, the man grabbed Jordan by the collar and started hitting him again. 

I quickly grabbed the looked at the gun under the bed, I clocked the gun and pulled the trigger without a second thought. I dropped the gun in shocked. Jordan holster the gun and kicked the body to see if he was still alive, he moved to the bed and took the putting sheet over the dead body. 

“We have to wrapped the body up.” he said before grabbing a another white sheet from a chair.

“We need to get dad.” William said as Faith help him up, “ He know what to do.” 

“With uniforms downstairs, no way. They arrest us before we can even get a word out.”

“You don’t know that..” Jordan threw down the sheet and looked towards us, “ You right I don’t but what I do know is there are four black kids and a dead white man on the floor. You do the math.” He went back to pushing the person onto the sheet.

“Not if we leave and pretend that none of this ever happened.” Jordan rolled his eyes.

“Yeah how are we suppose to do that when my face is busted up, Reina has blood all over her clothes. And Faith arm is bleeding.” I looked at Faith and now noticed her arm, she looked down.

“Oh shit...” he said just before he helps her sit on the bed, William took his tie off and wrapped it around faith to stop the bleeding, “I didn’t even feel it.” He looked at her.

“You were in shock.” He was he stopped the bleeding, by the looks of the wound it wasn’t deep cut. She got luckily. Somewhat.

“We need to be quick before they come, there’s no doubt someone heard that gunshot. “ he finished wrapping up the body, “Nia...” I look at him.

“I need your help with carrying him down.” I nodded, he turned to Faith and William, “Faye I need you bring the car around the back near the alley, alright.” She nodded as he handed her the keys, “Wait...” Jordan stopped her at the door putting his jacket around her making sure not to touch her arm and wiped the stained tears away.

“Be careful.” She gave him a weak smiled as he kissed her cheek, Jordan turned looked at Will.

“I need you to be our look out make sure the uniforms or any of our people, don’t suspect us.” Will nodded as he grabbed his crutch and limped towards the door looking down both hall ways, Jordan have me nodded and we left the heavy bastard. We walked out to the hall and we went for the stairs, luckily we didn’t run into anyone and got out of there unnoticed.

“Wait, hold on.” Jordan and Will stopped as I dropped the body, I took off my heels and gave them to Will. We walked out to the alley towards the car, we threw him in the back of trunk Jordan went to the driver seat. We hoped in the back seat and pulled off, I looked Faith as her head leaned against the window.

“Where are going to dump the body?” Will asked.

“I know a place.” I sat back as I replay what happened in the room, my heart beats fast as I remember the gun going off. I couldn’t help the tears fall as the image of his blood splatter all over the room, I can’t even imagine how Faith feels right now. I dig my nails into my palms to stop of myself from imagining what would have happened if we didn’t get there on time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The car came to the stopped as Reina looked out the window finding their were at the canal. They all got out of the car, she looked around at the stables and mill. Her and Jordan started to put rocks into the sheets and pockets of the man, after Jordan keep it was enough her and others pushed him into the waters.

They stood there as the sun was slowly raising, Reina looked at Faith as she started to sob before her legs can give out Jordan caught her slowly being her to the ground. The moments from before started took a troll on her, she cried in her brother chest as the horrid memories flooded back.

“I got you, it’s okay I got you. His gone, okay. His gone.” He repeated, she rocked her as she held on tightly to him. Reina and Will join them on the ground as they wrapped their arms around each other.

“It’s alright we got you.” Reina whispered.

Imagine Polly admitting to Michael you're his long lost sibling:

Polly rarely ever brought up her kids. Taken too young, they grew up without their mother. Instead, she raised her niece and nephews as her own, doing all the things she would have as if they were her own. For her birthday, Tommy searched for them, pulled a few strings. Her Anna was gone, just as she feared, but he found Michael, he found her boy. Michael listened to all of this, knowing what happened, not understanding why she was telling him again, now. It wasn't just the two, though. She couldn't look at him when she said it. After he and Anna had been taken, Polly had another. She named you, but that was all. You were taken as a baby, never getting to know your mother, her never even having the chance to tell your father, a man she knew wouldn't want to be in your life. She had no idea where to find you, where to look, too ashamed to tell her nephews. It didn't matter Michael didn't know you, didn't grow up with you, you were his sibling regardless. He was gonna find you, bring you home.

nsfw activities with j cody.

about. sex is fun!

warnings. gif not mine, nsfw themes nd shit, a bit rough

put a pin in this. y'all i finally got motivation to write smut(ish) for the first time in like over a year lmfao.. ew

pool sex.

— when the two of you have the house to yourselves, you’ll most likely go skinny dipping for the hell of it and one thing leads to another..

— j had you pressed against the pool wall, your eyes closed tightly, biting the inside of your cheek as j guides his cock into you, pressing kisses along your shoulders before fully thrusting in, earning a sharp breath from the both of you. he grasps both your tits as he shoved into you roughly from behind.

car sex.

— i know this man really only rides a bike in the first few seasons but when he buys his car.. quickies in the front driver seat all the time, and sometimes in the back when he has time for.

— you turn your head to j with as your laugh settles down in your chest, eyes traveling down to his lap where he pats, softly, cuing you to climb over the middle console as you begun to unzip your jean shorts. he grinned a closed mouth smile at you as he begun to unzip his pants, you soon helping him after you’re left in your underwear. his lips were pressed against yours, no longer taking it slow as your underwear was pushed to the side and you slide onto his cock, both of you throwing your heads back.

giving each other head.

— j was leaned against the kitchen counter as he tipped his head back in a soft groan, your tongue slowly swirling around his tip before you fully ring your mouth around his cock, bobbing your head up and down as his hand wraps around your hair.

— “you’re so fucking hot,” j shakes his head before licking a strip of your pussy, already making your stomach tie up in knots before he leans full in, beginning to lick and suck at your clit while gripping your thighs tightly. your back arched and your head rolled as you wiggled against the tension that begun to fill your stomach.

thigh riding.

— j has relatively thick thighs that provide a rather intense amount of pleasure.. something that you hadn’t discovered till he was working and you were rather horny, kissing his neck while running your hands along his chest and shoulders, trying to get him to take a break.

— “if you’re trying to get off, you’re going to have to do it yourself, love,” he rubbed his eyes as he leaned back slightly with a sigh, you pouted before taking a seat on his thigh…

praise kink.

— 100% loves praising you, especially when you’re on top with heavy breathing and low and loud moans. 

— “you feel so good” and “i love it when you’re bouncing on my cock” and “atta girl, you’re doing so good”

choking kink.

— as a representation of his dominance, he chokes you A LOT.

— when eating you out, when you’re bottom, his hand will most likely always be around your throat, lightly squeezing (but never hard enough till you can’t breathe) as he slides himself in and out of you, pounding harder and harder as time increased.

teasing and begging.

— THIS MAN can be an ASSHOLE. he’ll make you beg to cum and even then he’ll only continuously tease you and edge you on with his tongue or just slowly entering in and out, making you frustrated. he’ll leave you high and dry sometimes just because he’s like that (but he never disappoints when he pulled through).

— “i want to hear you beg, sweetheart,” his eyes flicked down to you as he slowly pushed you down to your knees, your eyes going innocent as he licked his lips and caressed your face lightly with his thumb gliding across your cheekbone. “and maybe then i’ll let you cum.”

biting.

— okay this is kinda weird asf but i feel like he would just bite you at random times- and not necessarily hard (unless he’s really getting into it) but just little nibbles to show affection?? and even leave marks?? he does it a lot during foreplay along your neck and even your inner thighs. he also just does it in general.

dominance.

— he’s dominate over you 100% and it stems from being protective of you in general. so, he’s often on top and takes control of where and how the sex goes lmfao uh.. he’s very controlling tbh.

finger sucking.

— at the beginning of your relationship, he was gentle and before you would kiss, he would run his thumb across your lips, slowly toying with your bottom lip before he slowly shoved his thumb into your mouth, making you suck and run your tongue over his thumb.

having a secret relationship with j cody would include.

about. being involved with a super close family makes it hard to have any secrets, but fortunately, you and j are still in the clear.

warnings: mentions of sex, swearing, gif not mine, they’re not related in any way in this fic

put a pin in this: um i have a major crush on finn cole

he was quite quiet when you first met him. very polite and kept to himself when he felt nobody needed his attention and when he got comfortable enough- he eventually would disappear for certain amounts of times to his girlfriends house

you were jealous because whoever she was, she knew more about him than all of you combined and he probably talked to her more than he did at his new home

you felt a small amount of jealousy when you first discovered this through smurf and even more after you bumped into her while she was trying to sneak out and you were trying to sneak back in

she was pretty and it made something in your chest tighten but you still grinned silently, shaking your head as you watched her smile sheepishly at you with her shoes in hand and one of j’s shirts swallowing her whole

nicky.

eventually, his relationship with her ended after another heist was planned and begun to unfold before all of you and you could finally breathe again

after all your pockets were stuffed with money and the pressure of not getting arrested was relieved from your shoulders, time was made for you and j to get to know each other

he was sweet and smart (not that you couldn’t already tell) and held himself high but you could tell a lot was wearing him down by the way his eyes seemed sunken

he reminded you of a kicked puppy dog.

one drunken night by the pool where the moon was high in the sky and your head was leaned against his knee while he sat in a lounge chair, his lips ended up on yours after heated hesitation and eyes flickering between your own and your lips

your hand cupped his face as he was leaned down and close to you from his sitting position before he pulled away slowly, his face unreadable (like always)

no words were shared

the night ended fast after that with a silent kiss on your forehead and his thumb gliding against your cheekbone

but the days that followed carried no affection but only stolen looks and glances of nervousness dilating his eyes

you dreaded those days, feeling lonely and deprived of something

it wasn’t until the two of you stumbled across each other in the hall a week later around midnight did you finally press skin against skin

he was eager, almost as if he felt just as lonely as you did

his lips pressed against yours before quickly reaching your neck, sucking and biting, causing your knees to go weak before he finally rushed the two of you into his room

from there on, the two of you fell into secret touches, kisses, and all things affectionate

the two of you always sat by each other at dinner, legs pressed against one another and almost always he’d give your thigh a squeeze

and if not by each other, across from one another where you’d teasingly run your leg up against his in some form of seduction

he’d glare at you

when the house was fully empty (which was often times rare) the two of you always shared the best moments full of holding one another, cooking, and if the two of you were lucky enough, and the house was empty when it got dark, the two of you went skinny dipping in the pool

but there were too many times where the two of you almost got caught

you don’t know how many times craig or deran walked in on the two of you, but if it wasn’t for j’s quick reflexes and pushing you off the bed, you’d probably be exposed

quickies in the shower

sometimes sweet whispers in your ear and sometimes naughty ones that made your cheeks burn

in the earlier days, when the two of you were still in high school, the two of you would study together and sometimes even ditch class

he’s kinda obsessed with you and since the two of you are on the DL, that means boys still openly flirt with you and he gets jealous easily

vice versa when girls come on to him but when you get jealous, he thinks it’s cute and pinches your cheeks

quick kisses

inside jokes

craig, deran, pope, and baz, notice a change in you and finding it off putting

“why are you always so happy all of a sudden,” craig would look at you weirdly with a arched brow and frown. “it’s fucking weird.”

“yeah, y/n/n,” deran would replicate the same look, “you on some drugs now or some shit?”

j laughs about it quietly to himself

“you enjoy my company a little more than you let on, sweetheart?”

dating j cody would include.

about. dating j cody is a little different from dating a usual boy

warnings. gif not mine

put a pin in this. tbh idk if i’m wasting my time making these when no one might read.. this

before he reunited with his grandma and the rest of his family, he was always so quiet but also easy to talk to and really only hung around you for he wasn’t really social

he wasn’t really affectionate either and your relationship seemed more of fuck buddies who did homework together rather than anything else

he was just like any other boy if you were being honest at the time, but you still felt an attachment with him with how much softer his atmosphere was (if that makes sense)

but after he became an “official” cody and his mom had died, you saw less and less of him and you really didn’t even know his mother passed away till he invited you over to a pool party

it was unlike anything you had ever been to and you didn’t even see j till like an hour after you had gotten there

immediately you knew something was different by the way he held himself and his face seemed a lot more brighter than the last time you had seen him

you almost didn’t recognize him

“it’s good to see you,” his hand had squeezed your hip before he studied your face a bit more, watching you settle from your shock.

“you too.”

“listen,” he leaned in close to your ear, his hand still hovering over your practically bare hip before speaking lowly, “i want to speak to you after, if that’s okay?”

you nodded, still taken aback before he smiled, nodding, pressing a kiss on the side of your face before walking away.

so you hung back, only dipping your toes in the water due to feeling out of place at the commotion that surrounded you

and after everyone left, you found yourself wandering into the home where an older woman greeted you with a smile, offering you fruit, seemingly not concerned to a random girl entering her home

but then again, it seemed she knew who you were

it wasn’t long before j appeared with a small smile on his face, squeezing your shoulder and calling for you to follow him after saying hello to the older woman, “smurf”

he seemed more comfortable in his own skin by the way he talked and held himself and listened to you

he didn’t conceal his smiles, laughs, and he felt he could relax around you as you spoke and caught up with him

after that, he kept more in touch, inviting you over to family dinners and just to hang around the house

you got to know all his uncles and smurf, developing interesting relationships you never thought you’d have as they all seemed so laid back and accepting

they love you

and the more j had you around, the more it seemed the two of you were no longer fuck buddies but rather.. more

he was sweet and more affectionate

his hands cupped your face when you kissed and his thumb would often rub your cheekbone as you talked

you smoked weed with smurf and got crossed with craig after a day of surfing

you found yourself practically living in smurf’s home

there were late nights you and j would watch cheesy action movies and they always seemed to end with you pulled up on his lap while he tried to coax you into a make out session

the two of you always tried to squeeze into his twin sized bed the best you could

you spent a lot of time on the beach hand and hand, watching the sun set or rise with your head dipped into his shoulder

but that was all before you figured out what him and his family was wrapped up into

after javi and his friends broke into the house and practically drowned j and kidnapped you (for like five minutes), he taught you how to use a gun

it wasn’t really something he wanted to do, but he wanted to make sure you were safe and knew how to defend yourself

concerned texts

protective of you

sex.. a lot because.. y’know

he always seems so busy with the jobs smurf sets him up with and joining in on the ones with uncles- you barely have time with him

you see him mostly at night and learn to cherish it with him just holding you and pressing kisses along your shoulders and neck

he only trusts you

and because of that, he tells you everything (things that won’t hurt you anyway)

he’s your best friend and he’s always there for you

if you ever get drunk out of your mind, he makes sure to take care of you no matter what since he really doesn’t drink much to go beyond getting tipsy

he holds your hair back if you throw up, makes sure you hydrate with water, even heats you up a plate of nachos or makes you mac n’ cheese

he never gets mad at you and if he ever is, it’s hard to tell with how silent and unreadable he usually is

this man is STOCKED with hoodies and he’s more than happy to share with you

the one thing is, he lacks having the ability to show emotion but he makes sure you know he cares by little things

made for display, part one. thomas shelby x reader

summary: a widely known performer seems to catch the attention of a gang leader who can't seem to get her out of his head

warning/s: swearing, drinking, really bad writing because i don't want to revise my old writing, smoking, harassment, and slight violence

slater’s note: this was originally a wattpad book of mine (just slightly edited) with an original character (kiera knightly as a faceclaim) but y’know, let me post it here 😁😁😐

you love the way people stare at you even when they have no reason to. their eyes could simply be wandering the room and then land on you for no reason and just stick there.

you loved it because it gave you some form of power that no one could seem to place. the attention they fed you reflected off of you and gave you a glowing effect, attracting more eyes. it was a mentality really; no one could be you, no one could beat you, there was no like you.

however, the attention came to be a bit much when it came to certain men, especially men like harvey lucas. a man who made constant passes at you and when rejected; he made other equally indecent men make passes at you.

there was a constant growing of discomfort that would just form in the pit of your stomach each time he came into your vision. you just couldn't avoid him no matter how hard you tried, he always found his way to you.

you made money by playing piano at the hudson; a large ballroom that was open every night, and had you play every saturday. you made good money but you also made good impressions on some of the men that would watch you, making it easy for harvey lucas to find someone to force on you.

you leaned against the copper bar rail with a glass of wine in hand as you observed the men and women that swung along to the music together.

a small smile of amusement formed on your face as you continued to watch until it was suddenly dropped when you saw the eager face of harvey from the corner of your eye; he was looking for someone.

he was looking for you.

you quickly adjusted yourself off the bar railing, setting down the glass half full of thick red wine before pushing yourself into the crowd of dancing people in hopes his eyes wouldn't catch you.

you looked around frantically, looking for someone to hide behind or to just to talk to so you could drown out harvey who was soon to find you. it was always better with the company of another person, it always made it hard for the man to push on his abrasive words.

your eyes land on a man who, conveniently, was looking right at you. you almost smirk but he slowly diverts his eyes to somewhere else with a blank expression, almost thinking you wouldn't notice him if he was subtle, but it was too late, he was already quick pray.

you glided across the slick polished wooden floors to the man who stood to the side with a glass of whiskey.

you smile when his eyes find their way back to you when you’re only five feet away. he seems unaffected, as if he expected you to come around eventually, like this was his plan the whole time, even as he had no idea who you were.

and you smiled to yourself knowing he was very well unaware that you had no intention in sleeping with him, but only to escape from the drooling men that chased after you.

"do you dance?"

maybe you liked him, chose him because he wasn't drooling all over you, and of course that's the way things go? you desire the ones who don't desire you.

he nods slowly and always hesitantly, taking a sip of the drink in his hand, not offering you any verbal response. but you take that as an opening to drag him onto the dance floor as he wasn't speaking; wasn't protesting.

eyes seemed to land on the two of you, including the ones of harvey who was after you. you smiles to yourself as you can see the disappointment clouding his features from the corner of your eye.

thank god.

thomas shelby reluctantly places his hand on your hip as well as lacing his fingers with yours. he purses his lips while studying your features as your eyes dart around the room, as if your anxiety was turned to a high and he found that strange.

"these people, mr. shelby, they take great interest in you," you mumble while studying other people and the way they look at you, no, the way they look at him.

"who are you?"

you finally look to him, finding his icy eyes that seem to stare into your soul. they make you lightly shiver, but you keep your composure, slightly smiling to hide the fear that started to creep into the back of your mind.

you were a fool to consider him as a dance partner so lightly.

his eyebrows were raised high, "how do you know who i am?"

"i don't."

he leaves your eyes, looking at the crowds of people who you were referring to, and he frowns at your incorrect observation.

"they're all staring at you."

thomas has never seen you a day of his life until now. it took him on edge on how well you seemed to know him for no reason, but it's as if he forgets how notorious him and his brothers are.

"they're staring at the both of you."

you closed your eyes tightly at the voice, leaving tommy all the more confused. he formed his lips in a tight line glancing at the man who stood uncomfortably close to the two of you who continued to dance to the music.

"fuck off, eh? harvey," you mumbled, your eyes wandering around the cream colored room.

"wouldn't you like that, huh, y/n?"

thomas looks between the two of you, loosening his grip on you and you notices right away, your head flipping to him. you give him a desperate look that he sees a lot from woman.

you didn't want him to leave you to another conversation with the man that continued to stand next to you in an awkward stance.

but thomas fully lets go of you, nodding to the man named "harvey".

you bite the inside of your cheek as you watch the man smooth down the front of his nice three-piece suit while walking away, back to his scotch.

"you look nice."

you scoff, marching back to the bar where your alcoholic drink also awaited.

maybe, you thought, maybe if i act like he's not here, he'll go away.

but he didn't. he continued to talk about the hotel room he had up in the hudson and how he was ready to go up at anytime.

"harvey, you really have no idea how much i'd like to strangle you right now," you mumbled, connecting the tip of your wine glass to your lips.

you glanced his way while you take in the thick liquid down your throat. he thinks while looking at his shoes before looking back up to you.

he comes in really close to where his lips are connected to your ear, "i'd prefer to be the one who strangles while fucking you senseless."

you could feel your blood boiling to the point you couldn't even think, so you smashed your wine glass over the top of his head.

Right, you’ve got two choices, Michael: you fuck off to America with Arthur, join the Apaches, or you marry the girl.

Hello there fellow tumblr users. I have decided to totally rebrand my tumblr (I got rid of all the cringey fics I used to write 🤭) as I feel it no longer fit my interests/fandoms. I’m making this post to introduce myself real quick 🤗

~I’m not gonna reveal my real name but you guys can refer to me as C if you’d like ~I’m a female (she/her) ~I am 18 years of age (don’t know how I made it this long 🙃)

Below are a list of people/fandoms that I am a fan of/a part of (these people/fandoms may or may not appear on here at all, depends on what I feel most comfortable with/what I want to do at the time):

•Harry potter (George Weasley and Draco Malfoy) •Outerbanks (JJ Maybank and Rafe Cameron, sometimes John B) •Peaky Blinders (Michael Gray) •5SOS (Luke’s lane but equal love for all the guys) •Ruel •Harry Styles •The Sidemen (W2S) •Jack Grealish •Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege (Blitz and Lion) •Apex Legends (Crypto) •Assassin’s Creed (Connor Kenway)

I have terrible memory so I may have forgotten some of the things I wanted to put on this list but I’m sure it will be forever changing anyway so it’s not set in stone 😂 I’m not exactly sure what my page is going to be like in the future but I plan on just going with the flow, maybe some shitposting and maybe some fics. If ya’ll ever want to ask me anything or request certain things then feel free to send me a PM and I’ll do my best to get back to it as quickly as possible! If you’ve read this far thank you for sticking around and I hope you’ll enjoy my page and it’s content 💙
