peaky blinders imagines

michael gray|love at first sight

words: 394

you worked with the peaky blinders, you were basically a blinder, but you didn't do a lot of the dirty work. that was left to the boys and the boys mostly kept you away from that to keep you safe. so you did most of the business side of the company.

tommy called a family meeting and you were sat in the almost empty Garrison waiting for tommy shelby to arrive. you liked that you were involved in family meetings, especially because you weren't a shelby even though everyone treated you like one. tommy walked in the door followed by polly and an unfamiliar face behind him. he looked scared, like really scared. bless him. you didn't know who the hell it was but he looked so innocent. he looked like he didn't belong in this business.

'everyone, this is michael, polly's son' tommy announced.
all of you just stayed silent. you knew polly had a son but none of you weren't expecting him to ever come back. michael smiled uncomfortably. you were first to speak up.

'nice to meet you michael' you walked over to and kissed him on the cheek. his smile turned into a genuinely happy smile. you made eye contact for a second and you could clearly see in his eyes- he was already in love with you. you could feel the little spark and i think everyone could see it, because for weeks on end, they'd tease you about it. and every time you walked past his office he'd smile and you and give you a cheeky wink. and you'd talk occasionally, whenever you weren't busy working.

finally, one night when you'd both finished working, he offered to take you out for a drink. of course, you said yes. why wouldn't you? you two ended up talking for hours on end about so many things; your past life, how you knew the boys, a lot of stuff. a few hours later, michael called a taxi to take you home and once you were home, you both stepped out the carriage and he walked you to the front door, linking arms with you.

'thank you for tonight, michael gray'
'my pleasure, y/n  y/l/n'

he kissed you on the forehead and watched you walk in the house. you did really like him. and you definitely wanted it to work out.
