Arthur Shelby Imagine

You sat in the back of the Shelby house helping your friend Esme count the money and sort out the books.
"That's where you're losing money there Esme, why are there costs going out to men who don't even work for the Peaky Blinders?" You ask comparing the books to the employees. Esme shrugs and looks up as the door opens.
"Alright girls- eh you're a new one ent yah?" The infamous Arthur asks you. You smile and nod.
"Not an employee, just helping an old friend," You chime as you continue comparing the books.
"In fact Mr Shelby, why are there people on your payroll that don't work for the company? Everyone would get at least a two percent increase on their pay should you take these people off of the list," You smile and he nods taking the list off of you.
"I'll take that to Tommy thanks for your assistance love," He smiles leaving the office. Esme giggles as you stare after the intriguing Shelby brother.
"What?" You ask and she shakes her head with a smile.
"He drinks at the Garrison, just go in there and do some writing or something," She laughs and you smile as you continue helping her count the money to put into the safe with a giggle.

The sun was setting and you walked into the Garrison pub. It had only just opened so it was nice a quiet. Slowly you picked a table at the back and ordered a run to your table. The door swung open and closed with people entering a leaving. Your pen hadn't formed any words on the paper. Not even the date. Your mind was on Arthur Shelby. But you knew you were being silly. Why would he even remember your face? Who were you to him? The door swung open with a loud laugh and your eyes darted to all three Shelby boys walking in. Arthur's eyes immediately meet yours and he smiles excusing himself.
"It's going to be too loud out here for any work, come with me love," He offers and you nod following him into a room reserved for the Peaky Blinders. The noise quietens and you sigh at the relief as he sits next to you.
"Y/n?" He asks and you nod confused.
"How did you know?" You ask and he laughs.
"Esme told John her friend y/n was going to be in the Garrison tonight and that she might want to get to know me," He laughs and your face scrunches up at Esme.
"Well maybe I do," You whisper as boldly as you can. He softly takes your hand nods.
"I'm not the big nasty man that everyone talks about you know?" He offers and you look up with a smile.
"Now how can I help with this little article of yours?" He asks and you smile as you start asking your anonymous source questions.

Esme sat in front of you rubbing her swollen belly. She read your article and smiled.
"Only you could paint these savages in such a good light," She smiles as you carry on helping her with the books.
"Besides the kids want to meet their Aunty y/n who their uncle Arthur won't shut up about," Esme giggles and you blush slightly looking down. She looks up at you and smiles with laugh. The door opens and the three Shelby brothers walk in.
"Oh actually I've got something to do lads sorry," Tommy murmurs walking straight back out. John smiles and takes Esmes hand.
"I'm just taking my lovely wife out to lunch sorry y/n, hey take a break!" John offers and they both leave. You looked up realising you were alone with Arthur.
"Well I had a bath this morning so it definitely isn't me," He mumbles and you feel a smile growing on your face. He laughs to himself and you stand.
"Well, I'm hungry so if you want some lunch I'll make you some at my place if you like?" You offer and she shakes his head.
"I got a better idea," He smiles taking your hand.

You stood by the canal with Arthur eating a cone of chips laughing at his stories. He looked up and saw your flawless skin and beautiful deep e/c eyes. Your long eyelashes batted at him as you looked up. A drop of water hits his head and he looks up.
"Oh shit," He murmurs and you look up seeing dark grey clouds. Arthur groans and looks around.
"We should go to Charlie's yard, we can sit in the stables," You offer and Arthur nods. He takes off his coat and holds it above both of your heads as the rain starts coming down. You look up and realise how handsome Arthur really his. His deep blue eyes and chiselled features drew you in as you ran with him through the rain.

You slowly pet the only horse in the Stables at Charlie's Yard and Arthur watched as he hung his coat up to dry. You looked up and smiled.
"Thank you for lunch and keeping me dry in the rain," You smiled and Arthur nodded with a smile of his own. You notified his confidence was dropping and you walked over and took his hand.
"Arthur?" You asks and he looks down at you leaning in to press his lips against yours. You close your eyes and kiss him back. Sparks ignited in your stomach and you stood on your tippy toes trying desperately to get closer. Arthur placed his forehead against yours as he broke away from the kiss. You smiled and looked down.
"Arthur I'm a lady, I'm not just a fuck and chuck!" You warn and he nods.
"I know y/n, just promise you'll be mine?" He asks and you nods and kiss his cheek gently. Together you stand wrapped in each other's arms watching the rains and storm pass the stables.

You sat in John and Esmes house holding the newest member of the Shelby clan. Esme smiled as John kissed her head and looked at you holding his newest child.
"She's beautiful!" You cooed as the baby yawned. The door knocked and John left to go and get it. You heard Arthur's loud booming laugh before you saw him and Esme smiled when she saw your head peak up.
"You two are getting close huh?" She asks and you smile knowing about the stables when she didn't. Arthur walked in with John and everyone watched his face light up when he saw you.
"Go on pass my newest niece over then y/n," Arthur smiles as you both pretend not to remember the stables.
"That's fine I promised Katie and Shaun i would go and play hide and seek!" You smile as you watch Arthur's gentleness with the tiny baby. Esme whispers to John and he nods and laughs.

John calls all the kids down and you watch as he leaves with them. Esme sits in the living room talking to Arthur. Slowly you walk in and sit down next to him.
"Guys if I go to sleep upstairs you don't mind taking her for the night do yah?" She asks and you shrug and look at Arthur.
"Sure, formula milk?" He asks and she nods and you take some extra cloth nappies and clothes.
"Well we will bring her back tomorrow then," you offer and Esme nods and kisses your cheek. Arthur leaves with you and you see his car in the drive.
"You didn't walk here then?" You ask and he laughs and passes you the little baby before opening the car door and helping you in.

You walk into Arthur's house and look around.
"You can take my bed and I'll sleep in the spare room," He offers and you nod and smile.
"Arthur are we a thing?" You ask and he sighs sitting you down on the sofa.
"Y/n, people I hurt, they hurt me by hurting people I care about," He explains and you take his hand in yours tightly.
"Arthur I'm falling for you! I will stand by your side through it all! I can defend myself I can shoot I can fight!" You explain and he presses his forehead against yours.
"If you ever got hurt I don't think I could forgive myself!" He sighs and you nod and lean in pecking his lips.
"Arthur please don't make excuses! Just let me be with you," You ask and he looks down at your hands intertwined with his.
"Fine fine, I'm going to go cook dinner so cuddle the baby," He smiles and you nod and laugh.

Arthur wakes to the baby crying and comes downstairs to see you rocking her softly.
"Come on honey your gonna wake up uncle Arthur and I've kept you quiet all night!" You whispers and she cries more. Arthur walks in wearing just his trousers and you look up and stare at the tattoos along his chiselled chest. He gently takes her off you and suddenly she stops crying.
"Johnny boy said he would comfort her at night," He offers and you nod. You sit on his sofa and watch as he rocks the baby to sleep. Slowly you drift off yourself.

After the night with the baby Arthur told his whole family you were together. You smiled as everyone gave you a warm reception. Arthur placed a kiss to your temple and you realised that next to him, in his arms was where you belonged.
