Johnny Depp Imagines

I hate you, I love you pt. 2 (Sweeney Todd)

Dinner time had arrived after hours of Mrs. Lovett preparing more pies for it. She had ended up serving alone as you were slumbering on her couch inside and Toby had yet to return. Sweeney continued to do his job but his mind never left him alone about the whole incident earlier with you. The only relief he had gotten was when he slit the throats of the men he shaved.

As the time of dinner had come to an end and both shops closed for the night, Sweeney sat in his chair again with nothing to distract him from his dreaded thoughts. Usually he was fine with this as it was when he imagined the times he was with his family way back then but tonight was different. The only one torturing his mind was you. The way you cried earlier and he reacted the wrong way. It became so dreadful that he became fed up with himself.

With no other plan in mind, he got out of his chair and made his way down the creaky steps into Mrs. Lovett's pie shop then her living space where his eyes lied upon your sleeping form. He debated whether he should wake you or not but this was important. His feet quietly stepped towards you as he reached his hand out to gently shake your arm. Your eyes fluttered open to see Sweeney hovering above you with sullen eyes.

"Sweeney?" You muttered, slowly sitting up but dizziness consumed you. "What're you doing in here?"

He brought his hand out again for you to hold onto as you pulled yourself off the couch. Without another word, he guided you out to the shop as not to disturb the resting Mrs. Lovett and Toby, who arrived later on after dinner without your noticing. Sweeney stops you two by a table and gestures for you to sit down with him.

"I'm sorry for the way I've been treating you. You don't deserve such treatment especially after helping us around here more than anyone." He explained, his eyes growing darker as each word slipped from between his lips.

"Mr. Todd, I understand you've lost a lot. I don't blame you for your actions." You tried to comfort him but he shook his head. You knew nothing you said would make him feel any better.

"I've been thinking..." He began, carefully choosing his words. "I think I might have feelings for you."

Your heart skipped a beat as you slowly processed what he had just confessed. Hope had finally returned after abandoning you for hours. You never thought he'd ever feel the same as you did and now that he's shown that he does, you still couldn't believe it. His dark eyes met with yours for the first time as he stared deeply into yours.

"My wife is gone... forever. I thought I'd never love again but," The sadness rose and fell from his tone as he went on. "Then you came along and changed that. I just didn't know how to accept that another could ever fix me."

His voice came to an end as he waited impatiently for you to say something back. He was starting to feel ridiculous for revealing his feelings to someone he hadn't thought would feel the same though he couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Well?"

"Well, I think I feel the same way." You slowly released from your heart.

His impatient and concerned expression changed suddenly. You became even more shocked at the sight of him. Never in a million years would you have imagined this ever happening but Sweeney had finally done something different. He actually smiled. That smile shown who he used to be and you fell for him even more.

You closed your eyes as he leaned down to only leave a sweet kiss to your cheek. Goosebumps rose upon your skin and a tingling occurred where his lips had touched.

"Thank you." He whispered. You furrowed your brows as you didn't understand. "For being there for me and showing that even after all I've been through... I can be myself again somewhat."

He sent another small smile your way as he got up and started to walk out of the shop to return to his place upstairs.

"Sweeney?" You called out, making him stop dead in his tracks and face you.

You took a deep breath and made your move over to him, placing your hands on either side of his pale face and brought your lips to his. The kiss was better than you had ever imagined and you never wanted it to end but Sweeney slowly pulled away from you.

Worry filled your features as he looked into your eyes again. "You must get some rest tonight. I assume I will see you in the morning?"

You nodded, wishing he weren't right about how tired you were but you could hardly think straight though that could be from this moment.

He squeezed your hands gently in his before giving one a soft kiss and stepping away to walk back upstairs to his place again. You stood where you were in shock at what had just occurred. Of course you could never be Lucy but you didn't need to be, to be with the man you loved.
