Dating Tommy Shelby would include...
Tumblr media
Pairing: Tommy Shelby x fem!reader
Warnings: mentions of alcohol and smoking :)
Ok pls watch me drop everything to write this bc I'm married to cillian murphy <3
First of all, how the two of you met
One night, you’d be alone in one of Birmingham’s many pubs, drowning down the sorrow you felt after fighting with your father, who was visibly upset with you for not being married
He’d been talking about marriage with you for weeks and you grew tired of having to tell him the same thing every day
“I don’t want to get married, dad, there’s no one I love!”
Of course, he’d think that was bullshit and tell you marriage wasn’t an act of love, rather a business that was supposed to tie two families together
This angered you, so here you were, drinking your pain away
And just as you’d got seated and ordered some Irish whiskey, a certain Shelby walked into the pub
Perhaps it was fate, perhaps a mere accident, but no matter what it was, it changed your life forever
“May I sit here?”
You were quick to realize he was a peaky Blinder by the way he was dressed
And by the way everyone appeared to shiver when he entered the pub, you concluded that he must be one of the Shelbys as well
“Only if you promise not to get blood on my dress”
To be honest, he was taken aback by your joke, expecting more of a nervous smile or a look filled with lust, like other women seemed to give him
He was immediately intrigued by you and made it his goal to get to know you better by the end of the night
Tommy tried to be a gentleman, he paid for your drinks, offered you cigarettes, and referred to you as “Mrs”
Until you told him you weren’t married, that is
His jaw (his jawline is perfect tho can we talk about that?) practically dropped, because how could such a beautiful woman like you not have a husband?
At the same time, he was happy, because this meant he could have a chance of making you his forever
Which, he realized later, was something he did wish to do
Tommy fell himself falling for you more and more every day, he just adored your smile, your laugh, the way you weren’t afraid of him, but rather treated him as a close friend
Yes, he was entirely enamored with you, and he knew he had to make a move before anyone else did
He often took you on horse rides or to restaurants to hear your voice, and he loved to hear you talk
“What about that horse race you went to last week, eh? Can you tell me more about it? I don’t quite remember”
He didn’t officially ask you to be his lover before you’d known each other for three months
His feelings for you were a big burden when he kept them a secret, and so was keeping your friendship from both of your families
Therefore, one night as you walked through the empty streets of Birmingham, he confessed to you
“The truth is, y/n, I am in love with you and I want you to be mine. What do you say, eh?”
You were stunned when you heard those words come out of his mouth
You’d never expected this coming, even though you had for some time now felt a stronger connection to Tommy than just a friendly one
Furthermore, the way he said it made your breath tremble. You could almost feel the passion burning its way through his confession
You could feel all the atoms in your body craving him and his love, but you couldn’t utter a words
So instead, you gently caressed his cheeks and kissed him, as if you were trying to pour everything you wanted to say into his mind by this sweet embrace
It took the both of you some time to cool down after the kiss, but when you did, the two of you grinned like idiots
“I love you, too, Tommy Shelby”
He’d carry you home and properly introduce himself to your father the second he got the chance
Your father would be so surprised, because of who you’d brought home
But he’d also be so happy (mostly because Tommy is rich, but also because his daughter finally had found someone)
He and Tommy ended up getting along quite nicely, though you saw his jaw (again he can cut me with that jaw) clench a couple of times when he mentioned the word “thugs” about some of his peaky boys
Before he left that night he kissed you so softly and romantically you thought you’d FAINT
Luckily, you didn’t, but you dreamt about him after you went to sleep
Sometime later, Tommy pushed aside his hesitations and decided to introduce you to his family
“Darling, I beg of you, don’t let them scare you away, eh?”
“Why would they scare me away? If they’re anything like you, I’m sure I’ll love them”
You’d be fascinated by all of his family members because they all appeared to be very interesting people
John would be the first one to talk to you, his outgoing personality very evident after even only a few seconds of conversation
You did enjoy his company, though you had to admit, he was kind of intimidating with his strong voice and loud laugh
Next on the list was Polly, the woman you’d heard so much about, yet knew nothing of
She was the one that you’d were afraid to meet the most, a sue she seemed so majestic and proud in her red dress and high eyebrows
Her personality was the complete opposite of what you’d expected
“Oh my god, you must be y/n! You’re gorgeous, my love! Oh, come here for a hug, my dear”
Her friendliness was overwhelming, yet it warmed your heart deeply to see that she cared for you after such little interaction
It was comforting how she took you under her wing, introducing you to the other family members while Tommy went to talk with his brothers
After the night was over, you’d befriended Ada and learned not to get on Arthur’s bad side
It was an evening full of emotions and feelings, but it was one of the best ones in your life, so you were quick to thank Tommy for making you the luckiest woman in England
“Don’t thank me, sweetheart, you’re the one who made my life brighter”
It took Thomas four weeks to propose to you
He loved you and he needed no time to know that you were his true love and he wanted to spend the rest of his life by your side
It was one night you’d spent together in bed, talking about anything and everything, stealing kisses from each other now and then
Suddenly Tommy’s face turned more serious
“I want you to marry me, y/n”
“What?”
“I want you to marry me. I want to show the whole world how much you mean to me. I want to spend the rest of my life in your arms, holding your hand and kissing your lips. I want to start a family with you and I want you, forever.”
You agreed immediately, tears in your eyes as you looked into the eye of your future husband and thought of the life you’d build together
It was perfect.
