peaky blinders imagines

michael being soft with his girl

-lmfao michael is such a lover boy he loves to be in love
-like he honestly just sits and stares at you with the biggest goofy smile on his face
-when you're going out to dinner or some other ridiculously opulent event hosted by someone who's definitely in illegal business, he gets dressed and just sits and pretends like he isn't watching you do your makeup and thinking about how pretty you are
-oftentimes, the dinners you attend are long and tedious, and when he gets a little bit tipsy he'll lean back in his chair and rest his hand across your thigh, smiling loosely at you
-he likes holding your hand but he likes wrapping his arm around your waist and pulling you close more, because he wants you nearby
-michael knows he doesn't have to buy you things, you've said it often enough, but he likes doing it
-he thinks he owes you in some way for improving his life, and he thinks he can thank you with material goods
-you think he's thanking you just by being himself, but you appreciate the beautiful sapphire necklace he got you on your birthday
-the one big purchase he's made that you agreed on was your house
-it's modestly sized compared to tommy's sprawling estate, but it has land and land means you can have dogs and chickens and he can feel like he's got a bit of his country home in his new life
-michael adores being domestic tbh
-loves making tea with you in your kitchen, loves going out in the morning to feed the animals with you (something his cousins insist is very out of character for him but he doesn't mind), loves catching you in the hallway for a quick kiss while you giggle into his mouth
-he absolutely does not get enough sleep, but he sleeps best next to you, tucked up close in a bed he bought specifically because it was a bit too small (he just wants to be as close as possible ok)
-michael is a hugger and a "i'll wrap my arms around your waist and you wrap yours around my neck and come give me a kiss, i haven't seen you in two days"
-he was an absolute mess at your wedding
-not in a bad way, in a he can't believe he's marrying you way
-tears up when you walk down the aisle but pretends he isn't crying
-calls you 'my wife' at every given opportunity (john mulaney is that you)
-he just love, love, loves you so much
