Tommy- Friends To Lovers

Here's another request. I absolutely loved this one and writing this request. I'm tempted to actually turn this into a little series or an actual book what do you think?

YN and Tommy have been friends for years, since before the war. YN was there to greet him when he got off the train. She was there for him when he had PTSD episodes. She was there for him the birth of his first child. She was by his side when he got married. And most importantly she has been by his side as he held his wife Grace pass away in his arms. She's now helping him raise his son Charlie. Since Grace died YN has noticed how low her best friend has been. Burying himself into his work. For Tommy it was his way of getting over the loss of the love of his life. That is until recently.

YN knocks on Tommys office door with Charlie balanced on her hip
"Come in" Tommy's rough voice calls through the door. YN opens it up with a smile on her face, normally Tommy wouldn't look up, but today he does. For Tommy something suddenly changes. Seeing YN with his son on her hip makes him smile, a smile YN hasn't seen on his face since the death of his late wife
"Tom I'm just taking Charlie for a walk. We won't be to long, an hour maybe"
"Why don't I join you?" Tommy places his pen down and takes off his glasses
"Are you sure? Haven't you got work to do?"
"Yes but a break can't hurt"
"Ok well I'll key Charlie ready" YN smiles once again and walks out of her best friends office. She puts Charlie's shoes on and coat before getting herself ready. Tommy doesn't take long to meet them at his front door.

Since that day Tommy became happier. He started smiling more, buying YN chocolates, making her laugh when she is supposed to be working. He started falling for her and she him. Everyone noticed this, especially YN. This was the old Tommy, the Tommy before the war, before Grace.

YN is just getting ready for bed when there's a pounding at her door
"Ok ok. I'm coming!" YN yells getting the keys to her front door. Opening it up YN seeing Tommy standing in front of her, blood dripping down his face "what the hell" she gasps "come in" Tommy stumbles in, a little drunk. YN guides Tommy to her bathroom where she keeps her first aid kit "sit down" she nods to the toilet. Tommy does as she says while YN gets a cloth and runs some warm water on it. She starts cleaning up his face, something she's done many times before in the past "what happened?"
"Got in a fight"
"No shit. Come on what was it over?"
"You" Tommy says with no hesitation. YN frowns removing the blood soaked cloth from his face
"Me?"
"Fuck YN the things they were saying about you. Fucking disgusting"
"Tommy" YN sighs throwing the cloth in the sink
"Your beautiful YN everyone can see that, but they were being disrespectful"
"I appreciate you defending me but you don't have to do that"
"Of course I do YN. I have to because, fuck" Tommy groans running his hands through his hair "fuck YN I love you. I think I have for a while now"
"What?" YN can't believe what she's hearing. The man she had started falling for just admired that he loves her
"I love you YN. I love you so much" Tommy takes YN's face in his hands
"Tom, your drunk"
"Not drunk enough to tell you my feelings"
"You can stop here tonight, sleep on the sofa and in the morning if you still feel the same way we can talk" YN removes Tommys hands from her face and leaves him in the bathroom to get him a blanket.

The following morning YN wakes up to the smell of toast and eggs, albeit they smell burnt, but smiling YN gets out of bed and wraps herself up in a dressing gown and heads downstairs to see Tommy Shelby stood in the kitchen smith a smile on his face
"I love you YN. You said last night if I still feel the same way we can talk. Well I love you" hearing this makes YN smile wide
"Tom, I love you too"
