The Habits of My heart

Chapter 1 : No empathy here.

" Ronnie Kray." The man approached the desk, sliding me his cash.

I glanced up from making my marks in the guest book and saw a broad man with his hair slicked back standing before me. He was quite handsome, which took me aback; nothing to what I was used to seeing coming and going through those revolving doors.

Regaining my composure, I checked the book for his name. "One-room penthouse suite?" I asked, making sure my notes were correct. He glanced at his watch and nodded impatiently before sliding his glasses into place on his nose. Giving him his key," Enjoy your stay at the Russel Hotel."

┏━━━━━━༻ ❁༺━━━━━━━━━━━┓

The Kray brother didn't respond, just hurried to the elevator that brought him up to his suite.  Nothing else was deemed suitable for a Kray than the very best. Opening the doors, he checked the room of stocked beverages and other commodities. Satisfied with his set-up he waited patiently at the end of the bed for his guest.

A few moments passed before a knock on the door startled Ron. He stood up and smoothed the wrinkles from his suit before answering the door. " 'Hello Ronnie", a slender young man in a suit same as Ron, met him with a smile. " Fancy meeting you here." The kid winked before walking inside and shutting the door with his foot. Ron gave a small smile before reaching out for a handshake.

" Long time no see, Teddy." They shook hands before making their way to the champagne bowl. Ron poured them both a glass. Teddy slid open the door to the balcony before chuckling to himself. " You outdid yourself this time, Ronnie boy. It's fancier than the previous places you take me for a quick shag." 

Ron rolled his eyes, handing Teddy a glass. " Tonight is more about business than shagging".

"Ah yeah, whatever you say. Reg has everything handled,, though. Since the incident at the pub, I don't think you and 'business' will be seeing each other anytime soon". Teddy took a sip from his glass nervously.

A couple of weeks had passed & it seemed Reggie, Ronnie's twin and business partner, was still pissed about Ron ruining yet another business deal with a firm from the States. In Ronald's defense, he didn't trust anyone but his own in the UK. Paranoid as he was, dealing with anyone apart from their regulars was tough. Charismatic, Reggie could only do so much before his brother tore it down with his short temper.

" As I see it, I've done everyone a favor. We're here to rule London. Not play big brother to the fucking Americans. Those lazy tarts can't do anything on their own, can they"? Ron gulped his drink whole, slinging it back into the ice bowl.

Teddy shrugged. " Don't kill the messenger, m'kay? I'd much rather have a full action-packed day than boring sit-ins with stuck-up pricks like any other fellow, but you have to keep a cool head and do things the right & legal way sometimes ".

"Yeah, that's enough talking coming from you," Ron grunted before pulling Teddy in for a rough kiss. They melted into each other and found their way to the bed. Ron reached for Teddy's belt buckle before he was stopped. " Ron," Teddy looked at him with a sad expression," I don't think I can do this anymore. I'm tired of being a secret".

Once in a while, Teddy would get in these moods where he felt undervalued & appreciated. He was tired of the casual sex and wanted more of a commitment. A commitment that was nowhere in Ron's vocabulary, unless you were his brother Reggie.

Ron sighed as he felt tense with the sexual frustration building up. He wanted to have more sympathy for how Teddy was feeling, but couldn't. Ever since his adolescence, Ron could never feel himself feel for anyone unless it was anger or determination to prove them wrong. " Why would you come here if you're just going to waste my fucking time," Ron growled?

Teddy felt tears rising. He stood up and stormed out of the room, trying not to cry. No one could ever be good enough or mean anything to Ronnie Kray. He was a man who felt the world owed him everything. A man whose sexual desires seemed to never be fulfilled. He was a bottomless pit that can never get enough power. Ronnie fucking Kray was one unlovable bastard. Or so everyone thought.

Hello everyone!

This chapter was written on a whim,, so I'm sorry that it's so short and probably completely terrible lol.
I've been searching for a lot of Kray brother fanfics, specifically Ron Kray. There hasn't been much unless their short imagines are copied from Tumblr (no hate) So I've taken it amongst myself to try to make completed fanfic about Ron Kray. He can be depicted as the real one or Tom Hardy version (whichever you prefer). I haven't decided whether to make up a female main character or make it (y/n). You are welcome to leave your opinion in the comments! Much love 🤍
