Peaky Blinders Headcanons and Preferences

Going Skinny Dipping With Them (Shelby's & Gray's)

Tommy

When you suggest it when you're passing the lake on his land, he's completely against it

"No, no fucking way, Y/N."

You plead and beg

Remind him that no one's around

That the house is out of sight so the maids can't see you

But he still refuses

So you strip off and go in yourself

And after watching you for a moment, he sighs and rolls his eyes

And begins stripping after one quick look around

He joins you near the middle of the lake

Claims that he only came in to make sure you didn't hurt yourself

But stays in for some fun with you

Arthur

Easier to convince than Tommy

But still difficult

"No, love. We shouldn't."

But with enough pleading and tugging on his arm, he relents

"Alright, alright, fine. Only for a bit."

Once he's in, he really loosens up

Chases you around in parts where both your feet touch the ground

When he catches you, he picks you up and spins you around

Will probably fall over while still holding onto you

Apologises profusely

Once he's done chasing you, will definitely suggest sex

Always complains about the cold afterwards

John

Most likely the one to suggest it

The two of you walk by a lake and he just looks at you and nods towards the lake

"C'mon, love."

Once you agree, his clothes are off in a flash

And he's got you by the hand and he's running for the water

He screams at how cold it is

But then starts laughing maniacally

Starts a splash fight

Both of you slapping each other on the ass when the other is least expecting it

The sex isn't exactly easy, but he's even more enthusiastic about it than usual

Nearly getting caught by the police

But running off before anyone can see you two

Polly

Normally would refuse to take part in it

But there are some nights when she's high on life

And she looks at you and just goes:

"Fuck it, I want to feel young tonight."

And you're stripping each other off in a desperate fashion

She curses the moment she gets in

"I'm freezing my fucking tits off!"

But kissing you warms her up

So does several other activities

Will not participate in any splash fights

And will most likely leave if you start one

She's there to float around and have sex with you, that's all

Michael

Like Tommy, it's nearly impossible to get him in there

"It's not fuckin' happening, Y/N."

But you decide to go in anyways

And a strip tease is what has him following you in

He takes a while to loosen up when he's in there

But eventually you convince him to swim around with you

He finds himself enjoying it

Even laughing when he beats you in a race

For a moment, he forgets that he came in for the chance to have sex in a lake

But once you're both tired of playing around, you give him that look

And he remembers everything

And makes sure the two of you never forget this night

Ada

Is a bit nervous about it

"We can't!"

But has a big grin on her face despite her words

You help each other strip

And then you're in and she can't stop laughing

You spend time splashing and knocking each other over

And floating around to relax after

Kissing in the moonlight

Gentle whispers of "I love you", only heard by each other and the stars

Hands exploring bodies at a slow pace

But then she starts to get more cheeky and bold

And you're in there for a long time with each other

Finn

Shocked beyond belief

"Swimming naked?! What?"

Worried his family will find out and ridicule him until his death

But then you're standing in front of him naked

And he's suddenly following you, no longer aware of the world around you

He happily swims around after you and splashes you

Just wants to be close to you

Competitions to see who can hold their breath under water for longer

Lots of laughter and joking

Blushes whenever you kiss him

Blushes even more when you initiate sex with him

So shy about it but really excited
