john shelby h/c: possessive.

[request; IDK if this how headcanons work but John is very possessive of the women in his life ? (he's a Shelby after all)]

john will be very possessive over ada, she's his younger sister after all

when he was younger, would beat up guys that broke her heart

would not stand for anyone bad mouthing ada

was silently fuming when she came back pregnant, yet a part of him was very happy because he knew that she would be a good mum

would threaten anyone that hurt ada

the two of them argued a lot but they had a close bond

john was RAGING when he found out about campbell hurting polly

even tho polly sorted it out, john would still think about murdering campbell

couldn't stand the fact that someone had hurt his aunt

after he found out, john would constantly be checking up on polly and would go around to hers almost every single day just to make sure she was ok

when they were in prison, john's main worry would be polly because he knew that she was strong but easily breakable, she still wasn't in the right frame of mind after campbell and he knew the prison stint would break her

would ask the guards about polly daily, his frustrations at an all-time high when they wouldn't tell him any information

his daughters were too young for dating but he would often make empty threats that he would go ahead with if they were hurt

if someone picked on his kids at school, he would be straight over there and having a go at all the teachers

would hunt down the kid's parents and have a go at them as well

taught his daughters, and his sons, how to defend themselves but told them they if did ever need help, he would always be there

john is v v possessive over you

if he saw anyone getting too comfortable with you at the bar, he would be over there so quick, showing the garrison that you were his girl

john was always holding your hand, kissing your cheek, his hand on your thigh, baso always touching you in some sort of way

was actually a bit insecure but would never admit it

just loved you a lot and didn't want anything to ruin it

john had broken a few ppls noses when they had spoken about you in a way he didn't like

you'd always tell him to not worry because u didn't want anyone else

would keep the business side of his life away from u

he lived in constant fear that his enemies would take their anger out on you

and if that did ever happen, john would not stop feeling guilty and would be apologising 24/7
