Peaky Blinders Imagines✔️

Michael- Past and Present

Isaiah and I have always been best friends, so when he introduced me to to the newest member of the Peaky Blinders feelings for the new boy developed.

1921
It was a normal was a normal day in Small Heath, I had just walked into the Garrison....

"Here she is!" Isaiah throws his arms in the air smiling "get her her usual Harry" I walk over to Isaiah who envelopes me into a hug
"Alright Zigh" (sigh with a Z)
"YN meet Michael Grey" I look at the young man wearing a tie and sweater. I sit down next to Michael, who is quite attractive
"Michael Grey eh? Polly Greys son"
"Hi it's a pleasure to meet you Miss YLN" I laugh at his formalness. Harry places down a drink which I sip
"Zigh please tell me he's not a Blinder? they'll eat him alive"
"That's why I need you. He wants to become one. Wants to work for Tommy"
"Oh" I smirk "well let's first start with what your wearing"
"What's wrong with what I'm wearing"
"Have you ever seen Tommy wear something like that?" Michael shakes his head "you want your Blinders hat, do as I say" I down the rest of my drink and get up "well are you both coming?" I place my hands on my hips. Isaiah gets up and pats Michael on the shoulder
"Good luck mate"

I walk Isaiah and Michael back to the Garrison where I know all of the Shelby's will be. We walk over to the privet room, Michael goes to knock and I pull his hand down shaking my head
"We don't knock"
"But Tommy...." I roll my eye and open the door
"Alright YN?" John asks with his tooth pick I his mouth
"What do you think?" I pull Michael in
"Huh not bad, how's the manners coming?" Arthur takes a drink
"My manners are great"
"We need to work on them. He's way to polite"
"YN I have a job for you tomorrow" Tommy says handing me a drink
"Sure. What job?"
"Need you to get information out of a man, named Walter Edwards. He's your age so you'll be fine" Tommy takes out a cigarette
"Fine, but I'm not a whore" I grab the packet off him and light one up
"Unlike your sister" John mumbles
"Didn't say you were"
"Oi a whore sleeps around for nothing. Lizzie works to put food on the table" I point at John then turn to Isaiah whose smirking and Michael who looks shocked
"Your a Peaky Blinder?"
"Who do you think got me into it" Isaiah smiles and sits next to me
"How did you get into the business?" Michael asks curiously. My smile fades and I look down ashamed
"My mother and father passed away so my older sister Lizzie took me in" I look back up and see Tommy looking at me with sympathy, something he doesn't show often "anyway, Tommy and Lizzie had an... arrangement shall we say. And since that day I was allowed to be apart of this family" I return my smile.

1926
I look down at the diamonds ring on my finger spinning it around while smiling
"Good morning love how are you feelin" Polly walks into the kitchen
"Good" I can't stop smiling
"What are you thinkin about?"
"The day Michael and I met"
"When you helped my son become a blinder"
"Yeah sorry about that" I chuckle. Polly sighs
"It was always going to happen wasn't it" Polly hands me a mug of hot tea
"Thanks"
"Good morning mum. Morning YN" I hear Michael walk into the kitchen. I then feel a kiss on my cheek
"So when are we planning this wedding? we need an excuse to celebrate"
"Tommy, John and Arthur never need an excuse to celebrate" I chuckle shaking my head "just wish my parents were here"
"I know you do love, but they will be watching from heaven"
"I hope so poll"
"Come here" Michael pulls me in to him for a hug "they will. You want Lizzie to walk you down the aisle?"
"Walk or waddle" I laugh thinking about how my sister just told me she's pregnant with Tommy's child
"Either" Michael laughs with me
"Yeah. I think I'd like that"
"Well tonight we should celebrate. I will ring Tommy to get everyone to go down the Garrison" Polly leaves the room
"I love you Michael"
"And I love you YN" Michael kisses my forehead and we sit in comfortable silence holding on to one another.
