Sweeney Todd x reader - Our Secret

Work work ...

When Nellie had mentioned that we had work to do, she left it at that, and left me to rest. I leaned back and stared into thin air, thinking about last night. About missing my chance....again. But I'm not mad, to be completely honest, if anything, i feel a little bit relieved.

With how I passed out last night, it makes me think what would've happened if I passed out in front of Turpin, and what he would've done to me.....ugh no. I shake that thought immediately out of my head and try to focus on something else.

I remember meeting Anthony and he told me that he knew Turpin's residence, and that he holds Johanna there. Sweeney's daughter, I had completely forgotten that Sweeney had mentioned that she was taken by Turpin, I was too focused on finding out where Turpin lived. I feel a little bit bad about that, how instead of worrying for Johanna....I was worried about my vengeance......

*knock knock*

"Come in" I call out, and I'm greeted by Sweeney and Toby. Seeing them together has me confused and a little nervous. I thought Sweeney didn't like Toby....I thought he wanted him dead...?

"Y/n, how are you?" Toby rushes over and jumps on the bed with me, hugging me tightly, and I'm taken back, shocked at this sudden gesture.
I wrap my arms around him, and I can't help but smile, feeling the warmth of the embrace and how nice it feels to hug someone again. The way he does, brings back a memory of me and little brother hugging every time we'd go to bed......my little brother........
God, I miss him. Miss them all.

"I'm okay..."I whisper in his eye, trying not to use my full voice as a lump has started to form. But my eyes betray me and they let out a single drop. I close my eyes trying to force the tears from coming out, which helps a little.
Toby leans back and looks at me.
"What's wrong? Did I hurt you?!" He rushes out with a worried expression and I can't help but laugh.

Laugh at how sweet this boy is and how he worries for me.
"No no of course not" i laugh, smiling brightly. He smiles and looks over at Sweeney then back at me.
"Did you hear the news?" Toby asks.
"News? you mean about the bakery?" I ask too.
"Mrs Lovett says that today is going to be really busy, and that I can be her right hand with helping out". The boy is happy to work. Heh. He is also a strange boy, but I'm happy for him.

"Ay that's good isn't it! Good lad" i ruffle his hair and he laughs, whipping his head back.
"Ah stop" he laughs.
I look over at Sweeney and give him a look, hoping to gain his attention, which thankfully he notices.

"Toby, y/n needs her rest now" Sweeney calls out, and Toby frowns. Looking at me, I squeeze his shoulder.
"Go on, I'll see you later" i say, lifting my hand in attempts to shoo him away.
"Get well quickly y/n!" He says before running off out the door. And Sweeney closes it behind him.

It's silent for a few seconds, and it feels rather awkward in here. Sweeney walks over and leans his back against the wall, placing his hands in his pockets and faces towards me.
His stare is plain, like he's waiting for me to say something, but to be honest, I'm loss for words. The way he stares at me, puts some kind of hold on me, making the air thick and me gasping for it.

"Last night..." he starts and I perk my head up. Shit...I ran away. I ran to find Turpin after Sweeney made it perfectly clear that Turpin was his to kill. At first that idea was an absolute no no....but now......
"I do hope you remember our agreement?" He looks at me closely, and I look away. Not in shame, but for me to remember exactly what was said.

Sweeney had offered me the chance to have my time with Beadle and Turpin, but only if I didn't kill him. The idea isn't bad at all, as much as I would love to kill them, I would love it even more to hurt them.
Which is why, I agreed with Sweeney. It seemed reasonable enough, and it allowed us to be civil.
