Thomas Shelby and Cillian Murphy One Shots

Keep You Safe (Thomas Shelby)

Everything went in slow motion as the bullet pierced my skin and I fell into Tommy's arms; my husband's arms.

'No, (Y/N), you going to be okay, you can't leave me! Pol, get an ambulance now!'

I hadn't realised the severity of my situation until I saw Tommy's hands covered in blood; covered in my blood.

'Tommy,' I whispered.

'Shh, hey, it's going to be okay, love,' he said through his tears, 'why did you do it (Y/N)? That bullet was meant for me, why did you jump in front of it?'

I smiled weakly at him and lifted my hand to place it on his cheek. He then grabbed my hand and held it to his face.

'I couldn't let that bullet hit you my love, the world needs Thomas Shelby!'

'Yeah, well, I need you,' he said, causing me to giggle as he held my tighter. My smile faded as I felt myself grow weaker.

'I love you, Thomas Shelby,' I said as I let my eyes close.

...

Two weeks later, the doctor decided that I was okay to go home so myself and Tommy, who hadn't left my side for the whole time, went back to our little home in Small Heath.

A couple of days after we had returned, Arthur decided to pay us a visit. Tommy let him in and when he saw me he ran over, picked me up and spun me around, causing a peal of laughter to leave my mouth.

'Arthur, put her down now,' Tommy barked.

When Arthur had put me down, Tommy slammed him against the wall straight away.

'Don't you fucking dare do anything like that again, you know how fucking fragile she is at the moment.'

He let Arthur go and told him to leave, leaving me and Tommy alone.

'What was all that about?' I asked, taking his shaking hand in mine.

He turned around and took my face in both of his hands before speaking.

'(Y/N), I almost lost you. This is me trying to keep you safe because I can't live without you. I failed to keep you safe the first time so there's no fucking way I'm going to let it happen again.'

I reached up to kiss him and kissed me back, making sure he wasn't hurting me.

'I love you, Thomas Shelby.'

'I love you more, Mrs Shelby.'
