Peaky Blinders Headcanons and Preferences

Being Tommy's Best Friend Headcanons

Knowing him since you were children

So you know he was once happy and optimistic

Through Tommy, you became close with the Shelby's

So it's no surprise that after the war, you're invited to every family meeting they have

Everyone was different after the war, but Tommy changed the most

He depends on you more than he'll ever admit

Because he's not sure who else he can depend on at times

You see the change in him when he meets Grace

And he begins to smile a bit more

But then becomes even worse when she ends up being a spy

Him going to you for advice when he's having trouble with his family

He may not follow the advice you give him, but he listens every time

Sometimes you'll have disagreements that are caused by him not telling you what's going on or what's happening in his head

But you always make up

Because he has trouble functioning properly without you by his side He'll even admit that he was in the wrong from time to time

You're the only person who can get him to stop working for long periods of time

It takes no real effort at all on your part

You just sit with him in his office and get him talking about anything that comes to mind

Horses, the weather, who could win in a race from the betting shop to the Garrison

He's more likely to crack a smile or even laugh when you're around, though that becomes less frequent as the years go by

You often find yourself playing mediator in his arguments with his family

A part of him wants to keep you out of the illegal side of the business, because he knows he'd be lost without you

But at the same time, you're the one he trusts completely, the one who he knows he can depend on no matter what

So he's accepted that you have to be involved

It's for the good of the company

And for his own good as well, he knows
