Sweeney Todd X Reader

Chapter 9

A few hours later, around closing time, you were still aching. Your bones hurt, and you were now somewhat afraid to walk home.

As Mr.Todd was walking out the door, he stopped and turned to you. "(Y/N)?" He called out. You glanced up.
"Aren't you going to go home?" He questioned. You shrugged and sighed, sitting down.

" I'm better off just staying here 'till morning," you said with a yawn.

"Now, now," he said, walking towards you and pulling you up.
"I'll walk y' home," he said, bringing you outside.
"Mr.T, I do appreciate it- really, but it's not necessary," you laughed softly. He shrugged slightly and let go of your arm.
"(Y/N), if you're afraid to walk home alone, then it's my job to make sure you're safe," he said, a crooked smile on his face.

You chuckled, admiring the little details and imperfections on his face. The little things showing how he had aged, which only proved he had been living an eventful life, the streak in his hair, proving stress. All of these were things you cherished greatly about him.

"Okay, fine," you said, and began walking.
"Maybe you can come in. For tea?" You suggested.
"We'll see, (Y/N)," Mr.Todd said with a smile.
As the two of you walked down the dark street, you saw the man from earlier- the short one.
"Mr.T," you started, blocking him from walking by putting your elbow against his chest.
"That's him," you started. The man was talking with somebody. You squinted your eyes, looking at how familiar the other man was. Mr.Todd seemed to notice, and tilted his head ever so slightly at you.
"...(Y/N)?"

Your eyes then widened slightly. You felt nausea hit you like a brick wall.
"P-Percy," you choked out, your hands shaking.
"Percy?" Mr.Todd asked. His face then shut up with remembrance.
"The one who-"
"Yes," you growled slightly, shooting your eyes back at Mr.Todd. He gulped slightly, feeling the uncomfortableness.
"I'll kill him," you said angrily.
"I thought you said you only wanted to confront him, (Y/N)," Mr.Todd said, placing a hand on your shoulder to calm you down.
"I've changed my mind," you said angrily, starting to stride forward.
"No, (Y/N)," Mr.Todd warned, gripping your shoulder. You turned and stared at him.
"I promise we'll get him," he said, smiling kindly at you. You smiled back, sadness in your eyes, nodding, as a sense of tranquility washed over you.
