Sweeney Todd X Reader

Chapter 7

Narrator's POV:

Later that morning, you came down to the pie shop, ready to get to work.

"Oh, hello Mr.Todd," you said with a small smile. He gave a slight wave.

"Ahh, (Y/N)," he said, squatting to the ground.
"Is this your key?" He said whilst standing up, flashing the shiny cellar key to you.

"Oh. Yes, it is," you laughed softly.
"Clumsy me must've dropped it," you added, smiling bashfully as you reattached it to the ring.

"Now to go check out what I'm dealing with," you said with a smile.

Despite Mr.Todd knowing he absolutely cleaned out the cellar, he was still anxious. What if she somehow found out?

You unlocked the cellar, opening it, being blasted in the face with a strong, putrid odor.

"Oh God," you moaned, plugging your nose.

"Nellie must've left meat down there to decay.... agh," Mr.Todd faked

You slammed the cellar door.
"Maybe I'll check it out tomorrow..."

Mr.Todd nodded.

"So-"

"Hello- Oh! New management, I see?" A voice said. You turned, seeing a young man standing at the door.

"Oh, yes! My name is (Y/N). Apparently Mrs.Lovett moved out of London a while back," you stated. The man nodded slightly.

"What kind of pies ya got?"

"Well, none yet," you poured.
"I've just recently moved in, and we're still setting up. But before the week is out, I can guarantee we'll have plenty of pies to go around!" You said cheerfully.

Mr.Todd stared at you, unaware that anyone could ever be so optimistic. He shook his head with a slight smile.

"Ah. Alright. It's great to see that Nellie is out of here. She's a sweet woman, but her pies certainly didn't show that."

Mr.Todd gave a close-mouthed smile, feeling a guilt burn inside of him. (No pun intended) He gave a slight sigh, before he sat.

"My name is Daniel, by the way. Daniel Turpin."

Mr.Todd clenched his fists, glancing up.
"A-any relation to... the Judge Turpin?..."

"Yes, he's my uncle. My family's never gotten along with him though, so I prefer not to talk to him. But rumor has it he left London with Nellie. I'm thinking they got married," he said, making mock kissing sounds.

Mr.Todd stared at him, noticing how terrifyingly similar he looked to the disgusting man who had ruined his life. He shook it off, trying to destroy his old ways.
'I mustn't drip rubies,' he thought.
