Two years go by and you and Thomas have legally placed your businesses together. Agreeing to stay together as business partners, side by side. And you are now classified as an official Peaky Blinder.
Although a part of you still believed in working alone, Thomas changed most of you. Having someone loyal and trustworthy working by your side feels nice. It can be annoying at times when you don't agree on something or they do something to annoy you but at the end of the day, they chose to stay by you. You and Thomas still sleep together in that same singles bed, barely anything has changed apart from Polly and the rest of the Shelby's see you as Family. Though, Thomas always has a glow in his eyes when he looks at you. He sees you as something else...something he regretted not doing two years ago.
Standing beside Thomas who was wearing all black like you. Your back straight, the rest of the Peaky Blinders behind you and a Priest in front of you, for Freddie Thorne's funeral. You kept a blanc face as you stared down at the coffin
"...give him peace. Amen." The priest finishes as Thomas walks in front of everyone. You notice Freddie's family on the other side of the Peaky Blinders
"I promised my friend, Freddy Thorne, that I'd say a few words over his grave if he should pass before me. I made this promise before he became my brother-in-law, when we were in France, fighting for the king." Thomas shared his words
"Amen." Arthur interrupts
"And in the end, it wasn't war that took Freddy. Pestilence took him. But Freddy passed on his soul and his spirit. To the new generation, before he was cruelly taken." Thomas speeches. After the funeral, you, Thomas and Ada are walking together. You and Thomas with a cigarette in hand.
"We thought now Freddy's gone, you might come back to Birmingham." You start off a conversation
"God, do you know how funny it is that you've got chauffeurs in your uniform?" Ada scoffs
"It's just the occasion, Ada." You sigh
"Do you know how unfair it is you've your four Bugattis when half the countries starving?" Ada pushes
"So now they've made you ashamed of us, eh?" You question toking on your cigarette and stopping to turn to Ada, she does the same. Thomas stops beside you.
"When I think how I used to be, it makes me embarrassed." Ada spits out
"Karl's with his cousins. I caught them trying to punch flowers off the grave. Ada. Are you coming home?" Polly chuckles as she holds Ada's shoulders
"I'm going home." Ada states as you push yourself onto your tip-toes then back down onto your feet.
"It's alright, Pol. We make Ada embarrassed." You hum
"That's not what I said." Ada denies
"There's another reason we want you home. We're planning an expansion. I'm taking premises in London." Thomas starts to explain
"Thomas, Y/n, it's a funeral, business can wait." Polly sighs
"Polly, if Ada was weeping then we'd stop. But she's not." You state
"The expansion means it'll be dangerous to be a Shelby in London for a while." Thomas warns
"Yeah. Well, I'm not a Shelby anymore. And I'm not a Thorne now either. I'm free. I've got to get Karl home." Ada waves off as she walks away in a hurry while you and Thomas look at the ground.
