I've been working as Mrs. Lovett's assistant at World Famous Meat Pies for a while now. I loved working with her, not exactly a fan of her pies but she was definitely entertaining. Mrs. Lovett went to the market while I stayed and tidy up the place.

After a few hours, Mrs. Lovett came back but with a stranger. He was tall, handsome, and had long black hair with a white streak of hair. He saw me staring and introduced himself.

"Hello, I'm Sweeney Todd," said Sweeney

"I'm (y/n)! Nice to meet you. Would you like pie?"

"Bring out the best ones!" said Mrs. Lovett

I nodded and grabbed a plate, I picked the ones I made and placed them on the table, "Here you go."

"Thank you, Ms. (y/n)" replied Sweeney

"How come you're here sir?"

"Well, the lovely Mrs. Lovett is letting me work upstairs. I'm a barber," said Sweeney

"Oh, that's lovely."

After a few days passed I absolutely loved chatting with Sweeney. He was very nice towards me and wouldn't make a move, unlike the other men who come to the shop.

A man came in and sat down on the table, I came by his side and took his order.

He kept flirting with me and making remarks, it made me feel uncomfortable.

"Sir, you seem like you need a shave. Why don't you let me take care of you?" said Sweeney

"Why of course. I guess I do need one." said the man heading upstairs with Sweeney

It always happened like this. A man flirted with me and Sweeny would take them upstairs for a "shave" but never came down with them. I decided to confront him about it and found out he would kill his clients. I was a little shocked but I loved him and didn't want him to leave.

After a few months passed, we got closer and I could see Mrs. Lovett getting jealous. I didn't understand why if she didn't like Sweeney.

It was a calm day so I decided to go downstairs and clean the oven, it was disgusting but it was my job.

I heard footsteps but I figured I was hearing things since there were a lot of rats. I suddenly felt someone push me in and slam the door shut. I started banging on the metal door but it wouldn't bulge. I heard someone screaming and finally, someone opened it. My eyes adjusted to the light and I saw it was Sweeney covered in blood. Mrs. Lovett was on the floor; she was clearly dead.

"(Y/n) are you alright?" asked Sweeney

"Yes, I am. Was it her who pushed me in?"

"Yes, I caught her just in time. Nasty woman" replied Sweeney

I hugged him, "Thank you for saving my life."

He hugged me back, "Anytime love."

I felt butterflies in my stomach when he said that, I was clearly in love with this man.

"Why would she do such a thing?"

"She said she was angry at you because I find you beautiful. And I admire you and not her," said Sweeney grabbing my hand.

I blushed, "Well thank you. I admire you as well."

He leaned in and kissed my lips, his lips were soft and warm. I kissed back and it started getting heated. We let go and hugged.

"Why don't we go have dinner?" asked Sweeney

"Of course."
