"Intoxicated"

17

Y/n looked back at Tommy who was already looking at her
"And you"y/n said putting her hands on her hips
"Didn't I tell you I'm taking him"y/n said walking closer to him with a look of sarcastic fury on her face
"I didn't stop you"tommy said smirking at her
Y/n stopped in her tracks and looked behind at John who was shrugging,agreeing to what his brother said.She rolled her tongue in her mouth and raised her eyebrows
"Huh touché"she said putting her hands in a pocket
Tommy smiled in victory at how he finally got her under him,even if it was for a second
"Alright I'll see ya later"she said waving her arms and turning her heels to move away but Tommy grabbed her wrists and pulled her back.Y/n yelped and was about to fall but his strong arms grabbed her.He grabbed her waist and pulled her close bringing her arm up on his chest.

John took the hint and walked away in a second giving Tommy a wink.
Tommy smirked and looked back in her eyes.He noticed her cheeks turning pink and he couldn't help but smile at the effect he had on her.
"You know something y/n?"he said as his voice vibrates in her ears causing her to shiver
"You deserve the world"he said smiling a little.
He meant his words and she knew he did.She felt like her knees would give up anytime.
"But the world doesn't deserve you"they both said together.Y/n knew what he was about to say.She heard it.
Tommy was taken back.He couldn't describe what he was feeling when she knew what he would say.She really could read him.
Y/n smiled and stood on her toes and kissed his lips giving him a small peck.Tommy leaned his head forward begging for more but she pulled away and slightly laughed.Tommy smiled at her and she practically levitated.
She pulled away cause she had to leave so she waved him bye and gave him a wink while leaving.

Tommy leaned his head back smiling.He was so in love.And he hated it as much as he loved it.

Y/n walked outside the house to see Arthur walking here and there in anticipation
"Where the fuck have you been and where the fuck are you taking me?"he said
Y/n pointed at the car door and he let out a sigh of frustration and sat down in the car.Y/n smiled and sat on the driver seat.

Arthur was begging in the whole drive to y/n asking her to tell him what was happening.But y/n just smiled and said"wait for it".Y/n was taking him to special place.A place she knew he would love.

Soon enough they reached their destination.Y/n stopped the car causing Arthur to look at her confused.
"We're here"she said getting out of the car.He followed her and finally took a glimpse of the place.

He remembered the place and his eyes grew wide.Their was a small waterfall,creating a pond of its clear water,the birds were chirping her and there as there voice echoed
"Remember it?"y/n asked
Arthur's mouth went wide.His face glistened with emotions
"Jesus Christ it's just like we left it"Arthur said walking slowly near the waterfall
"Tommy,John and I used to come here when we were small"Arthur smiled mesmerised by the way it looked
"We used to sneak over here and used to drink and dance"Arthur said as his voice broke
Y/n slowly walked over to him and put her hand on his shoulder
"This to remind you Arthur that you're home"y/n said.Arthur closed his eyes when he felt the breeze on his skin

Y/n took his face and cupped it with her hands.Arthur opened his eyes and looked over at her
"Arthur Tommy told me what happened.I know the war took a lot from you.So much that no one can ever get it back.But you're home Arthur.Away from those blood soaked lands and tunnels"y/n said softly.Arthur's face softened by the choice of her words
"I lost me mind there"Arthur sniffled
"No you didn't.That goddamn smart asshole is still in there.It's only asking for your permission now Arthur.Just begging for you to let him in."

"Arthur I know you think you lost everything but no you didn't.You have a family.A goddamn empire.You're a fucking blinder.A blinder who's strong because of his family.Family is you're strength.This world is your strength"she said
"I have you I'm a lucky bastard"Arthur said pointing towards her
Y/n laughed and so did he.
"Come here"she said grabbing his hand and pulling him towards the pond.She made him sit down
"Touch the water Arthur"she said politely
He did as she said and dipped his hand in it.A feeling of warmth and cold touched his hand
She sat down beside him and asked him to close his eyes
"Close your eyes"she said
He hesitated but closed his eyes like she said.
"Listen to the sound of water clapping against your hand Arthur.Listen to the birds chirping.Listen to the waterfall.Listen to your heart Arthur"y/n said almost whispering
Her words were affecting him in such a different way.He felt peace.Peace after a very long time.
"You're home Arthur.This is home"she said
A tear fell down his face and he took a deep breath of the fresh air around him.
"Yeah.Yeah I'm home"he said as his breathing calmed down and his heart felt warmth
He opened his eyes as the warm sunlight hit his face making goosebumps run down his back.Her words hit him like a goddamn tsunami.
He got up,confidence and pride flowing through his veins
"You're Arthur.The fucking mastermind.The first fucking Shelby out there.The strongest Shelby out there!"y/n said as she cupped his face and said the words with full force
"Yeah!!!!"arthur screamed and hooted
He put his arm around her and they both took a walk around the place.
"That's the fucking Arthur we asked for!!"y/n said laughing
"Roight"he said as y/n laughed hard

It was almost dark now.Arthur and y/n ended their trip and were returning home.

They got to the door and Polly opened it before even knocking
"Where the fuck have you been?"she said quickly
"Therapy"Arthur said smiling and walking inside
Polly looked at y/n and she shrugged her shoulders.
"I'm like a whole new fucking man!!!"he screamed
"Eh stop screaming!!"john said
"I went to the drinking and dancing waterfall place we used to go since we were kids!!"he screamed in happiness
"Bloody hell"John said pinching the bridge of his nose
"What's the shouting about?"tommy said coming in the room
"I'm a new fucking man!!!Im Arthur fucking Shelby!!!!"he screamed and hooted
"Oh shut up and sit down you mad bastard"John laughed and he sat down catching his breath
Y/n laughed causing it to echo right in Tommy's ears.He looked over at her and smiled
He simply bowed his head as a thank you and y/n bowed like a princess causing him to laugh.
"All thanks to the most beautiful y/n"Arthur said pointing at her
"Ya Arthur we'll need more of these sessions to boost you up and whenever you feel blue,instead of doing Tokyo like this idiot here"y/n said hitting the back of finn's head causing him to look at her with wide eyes as to how she knew
"You call me"she said pointing at herself
"Aye ma'am"Arthur said laughing
Tommy was happy for his brother.He was finally seeing the old him.Him laughing with his brothers and drinking like the old times was comforting.Tommy was pleased.

"So what magic did you do on my brother?"tommy asked while taking a walk with y/n outside
"Hey you should thank me.I just lifted a weight of your shoulders"she said playfully smacking his arm
"Alright thank you"tommy said smiling
"Oh my-Jesus did Thomas Shelby just thank me?Tommy hold me I'm going to faint"y/n said sarcastically laughing
Tommy rolled his eyes and shook his head
"You're welcome"she said bowing her head.
They both didn't say anything and were just enjoying their company.The silence wasn't awkward it was comfortable

"I'm sorry Tom"y/n said out of the blue
He made a confused face and furrowed his eyebrows

"For what?"he asked her
"It's just that I-I left just like that and I didn't even tell you and I'm just sorry that you went through all that tension i gave you"y/n said feeling guilty that he was so worried because of her
Tommy smiled at y/n and she made a confused face
"Why are you smiling?"she said laughing awkwardly
He got face to face to her and put his hand on her waist.He pulled her close to him so that she could hear his words clearly.He also loved the impact he had on her and loved to see it.

"All that tension and stress I took during those days were worth it y/n.You know something?"he asked and she didn't say a word
"When I got the news that you left I went crazy.But when I closed my eyes I saw you.YOU told me that you will come back.And I know I wasn't just dreaming"he said in his husky deep voice
He brought his hand up her chin and pulled her face up so that she was looking directly in his eyes
"You're worth the wait"he completed as he placed a kiss on her lips
The kiss was full of passion and love.She brought her arm up and wrapped it around his neck.They pulled away before the situation got to tense and both smiled at each other.
"Thank you"y/n said as she placed a kiss on his forehead
