Thomas Shelby and Cillian Murphy One Shots

Half Your Age (Cillian Murphy)

I was currently in the middle of having the one argument that I hoped I would never have as a married woman.

'Why did you do it?' I asked.

...

It had started off as a completely normal evening. Cillian had come home from filming and he kissed me and told me that he had missed me, just like he does every day. We then ate dinner and curled up on the couch to watch a film. Cillian had gotten up to get a drink when I saw the text message from a contact that was two heart emojis:

We should do this again soon my love ;)

...

Cillian didn't respond, he just sat on the sofa, staring at his hands.

'Cillian please,' I begged, 'why did you do it?'

'You weren't meant to find out,' he whispered, still not looking at me.

'And that makes me feel better how?' I shouted, 'how long has this been going on for?'

'A couple of months, when I was away filming Peaky Blinders but I swear, I'm ending it!'

'How do I know that! How do I know that you're not going to leave me and go with her? How old is she anyway?'

'Twenty.'

My eyes widen as I look at him, 'Cillian she's half your age!'

'Fuck sake! I know that, (Y/N), I made a mistake, but it's over now! I love you!' Cillian shouted.

'How do I know that, Cillian! You've already cheated on me!' Tears started streaming down my face, realisation setting in.

'Come on, (Y/N), you know that I love you more than anything!' He said, talking my hands in his as tears fell from his eyes.

'No. I don't know that anymore, Cillian. I think I need to be on my own for a while.'

'What? No, (Y/N), I need you!'

'Well you should have thought of that before you went and slept with someone else.'

I walked out of the front door and down the street, ignoring Cillian's calls from behind me.
