Duke takes the bullet between his fingers, turning it slowly in the dim light filtering through the car window. The engraving catches what little glow there is — ‘GINA’ — cold metal promising something he’s wanted for a long time.
He meets his father’s eyes, steel-blue stare meeting an older steel-blue stare that still unnerves him sometimes.
A low, rough chuckle escapes him, but there’s no real humor in it. Just the sharp edge of hunger finally being fed.
“All this time you kept that in your pocket like a promise… and now you’re passin’ it to me.”
He closes his fist around the bullet, knuckles whitening again as the weight of it settles.
‘I’ll do it proper, Dad. Not quick. Not clean. She’ll know exactly who’s sendin’ her to hell for what she did to this family… to you.’
His voice drops lower, almost a growl, the Romani blood and Shelby ice mixing in his tone.
“But when the time comes — and it will come — I want her to see my face last. Not some bullet from the dark. She poisoned us from the inside. I’ll cut the poison out me’self”
He slips the bullet into his own jacket pocket, right over his heart, like a vow.
“Just tell me when. I’ve waited years already, I can wait a little longer.”
He leans back in the seat content with their arrangement.. for now.

Duke glances sideways at her, that Shelby grin still tugging at the corner of his lips and staying there.
his voice then low and laced with amusement.
“let ‘em talk, love. by morning they’ll say i’ve dragged you off to the Old Crown to ruin you proper… or that you’ve finally decided to tame a Shelby.”
he gives her hand a light, teasing squeeze, thumb brushing over her knuckles as they turn the corner toward the quieter pub.
“either way, i reckon it’s worth the gossip. now, what’ll you have? whiskey to match that fire in your eyes, or somethin’ sweeter to pretend you’re not enjoyin’ this?”

he can’t help but let the grin widen across his face just to taunt her even more, that familiar edge to it as he watches her scoff. stubborn as they come, but he likes the fire in her.
“wouldn’t dream of it, love,” he spoke low and smooth like whiskey. he extends his hand toward her, palm up, waiting.
“come on then. there’s a quieter spot round the corner— the Old Crown. no garrison, no trouble… unless you’re the one bringin’ it.”
𝓈𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝒷𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘦 ..@UNTAMEDSPlRlT
“ don’t make me regret saying yes. ” a scoff leaving her, his stupid smirk seemed to be permanently painted on his face. “ anywhere but the garrison. let’s go before i change my mind. ”
English
“Patience...”
he lets the word hang in the air, jaw tight, eyes narrowing just a fraction as he forces the rage down into something colder.. as he starts the motor up again.
“I hear ye, Dad.. I do. Kill her now and the Italians come knockin’ before the sun’s even up. The Peaky Blinders burn with her.”
he exhales slowly, knuckles still white but no longer trembling with anger or the need to strike.
“But every day she breathes is another day she poisons what’s left of this family. How long do we let the snake sit in the grass before we cut its head off proper? Tell me the plan for today then eh? I’ll wait — but not forever.”

“ that’s what you lack , son ... you have no patience ... war’s aren’t won in minutes , you kill gina gray then the peaky blinders won’t exist come the morning “ he had to make him see sense . “ i never said you couldn't --

he cannot help but let a grin curl onto the edge of his lips as he watches her.
“Lady’s choice, as I am a gentleman after all.”

SESTRA.⠀ calling it now if @maledictusmalum returns I WILL ABSOLUTELY bring back Arthur @/NXTSOBER or even Michael for this incredible writer to taunt 😅😭

“Are you fuckin’ serious?!”
he draws in a steady breath, the fire within his chest slowly calming.
“ you know’ ye’ might not know this but she ‘ad a way about her. Arthur, you know particularly vulnerable when it comes to snow and opium.”
his knuckles became visually white again but he stoked the angry fire beneath him.
“In ‘is war like a venomous snake.”

“ you put a bullet in gina grey and you’ll start a fuckin’ war with her family nd’ the italian’s ... as you can see we aren't much of an army “ he spoke turning to look at duke “ we play this smart and we can win this--
English
Duke’s eyes narrowed at the name. Jaw clenched tight, knuckles whitening around the steering wheel.
“Gina fuckin’ Gray?!”
He slammed his foot on the brakes. The car skidded to a violent halt, tires screaming.
“That treacherous bitch? The one who tried to bury us with her Italian mob lot?”
He turned sharply, glare burning.
“We end this now. Bullet in her and every last one before they touch Birmingham soil.”

“ it’s not the lee’s we are goin’ to see ... remember gina grey ? , michael's widow ? “ he spoke bluntly , his eyes fixated on the road . “ she’s back in the country ... along with her family and the italian mafia . “

@THEFALLENSHELBY “They mistake bending for weakness and by the time they realise it's strategy... it's already too late."
he casually raised a brow.
“I was raised on the road by Roma blood, through the mud and the wars this isn’t my first or last rodeo.”

I can’t help but thing, what would Reggie think. 😏

goodbyeeee.
English
dark brows knitted together, eyes shifting to the road ahead of them.
“ seriously? already got the races covered even the fuckin’ Lees are happy wit’ their cut.”
tension builds as the younger Shelby shifted to change gears, the engine spluttering as he does. A horse was his preferred method of transport.

“ fuckin’ hope not , you are bad’nough “ he nudges him , a huffed chuckle slipping past his lips “ oh now you want fuckin’ directions ... were goin to the races , son ... cheltenham …. “

@RazorHeir / She'd knock him on his ASS! No, for real, I plan to. I'm just having a hard time coming up with a FC I like. I was thinking Maia Mitchell but I've been seeing her a lot lately.

@pagingyourdials SESTRA.⠀ an interesting choice however she is abit overused. She is a good choice though! I had her as a Lee oc before her content fits!

@RazorHeir / On that note, you're making me want to make an OC who essentially hates Duke upon meeting him and they have spats back and forth.
