Safe With Me- Part 8
Thomas Shelby x Reader

Word Count: 1k

“I will get you away from here” Tommy said before standing up, facing away from you as he spoke.
“I will take you back to London.. where you’ll be safe” he finished, letting out a deep breath as he finished his sentence.
Your mind raced. This is what you wanted. A chance to go back to your own time. A chance to be safe. But your heart was breaking in your chest.
Looking up at Tommy, you knew what you felt for him wasn’t some passing feeling. Leaving him would feel as through you were being torn in half. Ripped between your old life and the possibility of an overwhelming love.
“I can’t leave” you replied, almost too quickly as though you were afraid he would disappear right here in this moment.
He turned to face you, his eyes scanning your face as though he were desperately trying to hold onto the image of you.
“You need to tell me what you’ve gotten yourself into, love” he said quietly, trying not to push you but knowing he couldn’t protect you from something he did not understand.
Your eyes were beginning to well up before you were able to look up at him.
“You won’t believe me” you mumbled, trying to hide away your tears slowly rolling down your cheeks.
Thomas walked forward, kneeling down in front of you before he raised a hand to your chin. He lifted it softly, forcing you to look at him.
“I’ve seen many things, love. Tell me” he said softly; still making it clear that you were to either tell him or lose him.
So you told him. You told him everything. How you got to this time in the first place, how you were given a job, how you had no papers and no identity to prove. Your heart was pounding in your chest as you spoke between tears, knowing this was it. Knowing he was going to cast you away for being a lunatic. As the words came out, even you didn’t believe them. No one would believe something like this in your own time let alone here in the early 1900’s. The pain in your chest grew stronger, realising that this time with Thomas was coming to an end. You knew this would come eventually, but for some reason you just didn’t think it would be so soon.
Thomas did not once interrupt you, his face remained calm and unfazed as you spoke. His lack of emotion caused an overwhelming anxiety to creep all over your body. You wished he would be as surprised as you were when this all happened in the first place.
You eventually ran out of things to say, realising that so many of your words came out in a ramble. Thomas looked over your face carefully, taking in your features and expressions.
He was quiet for what felt like a very long time after you had finally finished speaking. The urge to rush him into speaking was overwhelming, but you knew you could not push him.
His breaths were slow whilst he contemplated his next steps.
“Come with me” he said gently before standing up and holding a hand out to you.
You frowned at his response, yet you still reached out to him; trying to ignore the immediate sense you relief as your fingers slid along the palm of his hand.
Everything felt blurry as he guided you through the house and out to a car. He got into the drivers seat after opening the passenger side to you.
He was quiet while he drove. It wasn’t the comfortable quiet you could share together, it was different. You felt as though there was nothing else you could say.
The road opened up to wide grasslands, allowing the cold wind to send shivers through your body. You gazed up at the sky, the same sky you would look at 100 years from now and yet it seemed so different.
At times, this still felt like a fever dream. As though any second now you were going to wake up; ripped away from Tommy’s grasp.
You noticed another town in the distance; buildings were becoming clearer and familiar to you as you approached. You eyes glanced over at Thomas, wishing he would gaze back at you. Wishing he could give you some kind of comfort. You desperately wished to crawl inside his brain and know what it is that he was thinking, how he felt about this, about you.
The vehicle soon drove into town, following the cobblestone road as people stepped out of the way. It wasn’t long until Tommy approached a building, one which was all to familiar.
“Tommy what are you doing?” You panicked, looking up at the bricks before you.
“I’m taking you home, love” He replied, avoiding your eyes as he kept his face forward.
Your breath quickened as you looked up. Here you were. In the place you had always wanted to return to. You could forget everything and return to your old life.
You slowly opened the door before stepping out onto the side path; leaving you face to face with the biggest decision of your life.
Before you could step forward, you turned around; watching Thomas. His face was turned away, unable to watch you as he rubbed his forehead with his hand.
His body worked as a magnet, pulling you towards him. How could this dangerous man cause such an ache in your chest. You didn’t belong here, that much you knew. But how could you feel this way for a man you were never meant to know. Your paths were never meant to cross and yet here you were.
You stood between Thomas and the opportunity to return home. This was it.

Like a delicate flower placed between the pages of a book for safe keeping, your heart is safe, pressed between the pages of my soul.

Safe with me
Pairing: Bradley Bradshaw x Pilot Reader (no callsigns)
Warnings: Mentions of nightmares, mentions of therapy, referenced trauma (it's not explicit however mind the warnings!), still fluffy 💙
Tumblr media
Bradley groaned and grabbed at his alarm clock on his nightstand to check the time.
'3:17'
He wondered who could be at the other end of the door, but he figured something important was going down since they knocked at such hour and didn't stop.
"Good m-" He stopped when he saw you standing in front of his door, clutching a pillow.
"It happened again." You sniffed and walked right into his open arms.
"Come on, let's get you to bed." Bradley ushered you inside and you slowly walked towards his bed. He laid down and you followed, snuggling into him. He covered you both with the blanket and pulled you closer to him.
"You're safe now. I got you." He whispered into your hair.
"Thank you."
"If you will ever want to talk, you know I'm here."
You only nodded. He was the first person that actually made you feel safe. The one who opened his arms and let you cry, without demanding explanations or anything more than you were willing to ask for. This is the reason why you kept running to him. As it turned out, Bradley was the antidote to your nightmares. He kept them at bay.
You still weren't comfortable enough to bare your soul to him. There were parts of you that still made you feel ashamed, the parts that you didn't want to share as they made you unlovable. The assigned therapist has made several attempts to remedy this kind of low self opinion, but it has been an uphill battle, one you found yourself losing more times than winning.
As you laid in his arms, you felt your heartbeat steady and you relaxed in his arms.
"There you go. Good night." Bardley smiled as he felt you sag into the mattress.
"Good night Bradley." You smiled and happily closed tour eyes.
Thank you for reading! 💙😊
The GIF belongs to the amazing creator 🙏🥰

There will always be a place for you within the parentheses of my arms, whether you need to laugh or cry. I got you, regardless.

I’m not afraid of your darkness. Even in its darkest depths, I know you’d never hurt me.

(old) age is no reason for ignorance and bigotry.
