Imagine reuniting with husband Benjamin Barker after 15 years

(Y/n) Barker had been married to her loving husband, Benjamin Barker for what felt like forever, which she loved. She loved the man with her whole heart and would do anything for him. They had been planning to start a family and had been planning to have a child together. Sadly, they'd never get that far. They got separated from each other once another man set eyes on the beautiful (Y/n) and got Benjamin arrested and sent away.

The woman had moved away into a smaller house and sold her old home because the happy memories with Benjamin haunted her in their old home. She tried her best to avoid the man that was after her and was successful. (Y/n) spent most of her days away from the town and became something of a hermit.

One day she was at the market buying food for herself. As she walked among the large number of people, she accidentally bumped into somebody. (Y/n) yelped as she fell backwards and onto the cobblestone ground. The man she bumped into turned around to look down on her. (Y/n)'s eyes widened as she saw his face. The man had a pale face with handsome features. He had black messy hair with a white streak on the front. He also had darkened, chocolate brown eyes. He was so familiar yet the woman couldn't place her finger on it.

"I-I'm terribly sorry sir..!" She apologized quickly in a scared and frail voice.

"It's alright.." He grumbled a rather shallow response.

His voice made her eyes light up. She gasped softly as she finally recognized who he was. She quickly got onto her feet. It was like he was an angel, a ghost, anything else than real. After the painful 15 years later, he finally came back to her. The man looked at her like she was crazy and maybe she was, but she just had to know it was really him.

"Is it really you?" She asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

The man furrowed his eyebrows. (Y/n) smiled weakly as she got closer to him.

"B-Benjamin..?" She whispered.

The man's tired eyes widened as he gasped in surprise. He was as shocked as she was. He took a step closer to her as he gazed into her (e/c) eyes. He reached up and moved some (h/c) hair out of the woman's face.

"(Y/n)..?" He whispered softly.

The smile grew on the woman's face as tears started forming in her eyes. She was able to hold them in and not burst into tears in front of everybody. (Y/n) gave a silent and affirmative nod. The man sighed heavily as a soft smile spread onto his lips as well. (Y/n) wanted to dive into his hands and kiss him, but she wasn't sure if he wanted it, so she just stood still.

"I've missed you so much.." She said with a sad smile.

"So have I..." He replied in a whisper.

They stood in silence as they looked into each other's eyes, not really sure what to do next. Suddenly he broke eye contact and looked somewhere behind her. Before she could say anything, he took (Y/n)'s hand and looked down at her again.

"Let's go somewhere more private, alright?" He said.

The woman nodded and they started walking. She wondered why, but she wasn't about to complain. She didn't care where they went as long as they were together.

Soon they arrived at their old house. He led her up a flight of stairs and into his barbershop. It was the only private place he could think of. He gently pushed her inside and closed the door, locking it in the process. Then the couple proceeded to have a long and heartfelt conversation where they caught up with each other. The man told her how he got sent to prison and escaped. He told her how he had adopted the name Sweeney Todd and how he swore to have his revenge against Judge Turpin. (Y/n) gave a quick recap of her life in hiding before a silence fell upon them. They had been apart for such a long time that they weren't sure if the other person still felt the same.

"Sweeney..?" (Y/n) asked in a shaky voice.

The man lifted his head and turned his attention to her. He locked eyes with her. (Y/n) felt a lump in her throat when she tried to speak. She turned her head away before swallowing hard. She felt a little dumb but she couldn't help it.

"D-do you.. do you still love me?" She asked before tears started involuntarily running down her pale cheeks.

She heard a light gasp escape the man's lips. Then she heard him get up and quick steps approach her. She saw him stop her and saw him kneel down in front of her. Sweeney placed his hand gently onto her cheek and made her look at him. He gazed lovingly and longingly into her beautiful (e/c) eyes. He carefully wiped a tear from her cheek before he spoke.

"Oh my sweet, beautiful (Y/n)... Of course I do.." He replied, his own voice wavering.

The woman's eyes widened before softening. She was so happy to hear that. Her heart started beating faster as she cracked a small smile. But Sweeney wasn't done.

"The thought of you has been the only thing that has kept me going all these agonizing years," He continued with a sad smile.

Another set of tears rolled down her red cheeks. This time they were tears of happiness. She grabbed his hand and gently pushed it away from her face. Then she jumped forward and wrapped her arms around him in a tight hug. Sweeney wrapped his arms around her as quickly as he could and slowly stood up. (Y/n) buried her face in his chest as she cried and hugged her lover tighter. The man ran his fingers through her (h/l) (h/c) hair before burying his face in it.

"Sweeney..! That makes me so happy to hear that..!" The woman cried out. "I love you too.. I love you so much!"

They held each other for a long time before they pulled away just enough to look at each other again. As (Y/n) laid eyes on her lover again, she saw the tears rolling down his cheeks. She gasped quietly before reaching up to place her hand onto his cheek. She rubbed it comfortingly and gently wiped some tears from his eye. It pained her to see his tears, yet they made her heart flutter. He looked as beautiful as ever.

(Y/n) rose to her tiptoes and gently pulled his face closer. Their eyes fluttered closed as their lips connected in a soft kiss. The kiss was long and filled with love. After they had to pull away, Sweeney rested his forehead against hers. They held each other close to their bodies as tears fell from both of their eyes. They were so glad to be back in each other's arms again. Nothing could make up for the lost years, but they would never part again. No matter what happened, they'd stay together.
