Okay, so I was re-watching "Sweeney Todd" recently, and I couldn't help but notice that during "Pretty Women" when Sweeney was shaving Judge Turpin, it looked like the judge was having an orgasm or something. And so, I began to ship this pairing. :3

DISCLAIMER: I do not own "Sweeney Todd", it's characters, or anything pertaining to it. I only own this story and it's plot.
Perplex
He didn't understand it. He was supposed to hate this man. He was supposed to want him dead.
Yet his blade never pressed deep enough to cut the judge's skin, only his stubble.
He couldn't help but notice how peaceful the judge looked, how unbelievably trusting he was being with the barber.
This was not right. He was feeling those feelings again. The feelings he had felt for his wife, only this was different... this was a man, the same man who had sent him away for fifteen years and ruined his whole family.
Why, then? Why couldn't he just slit his throat and be satisfied with his revenge? Why was his hand listening to his heart rather than his brain?
When the shaving was done, the judge got to his feet and reached into his pocket, pulling out the appropriate amount of money.
"Sir, there's no need." Sweeney stopped him, "The honor alone was enough."
Judge Turpin stared at him, a bit surprised, "As you wish." He stepped over to the mirror, examining the barber's work, "... I will be returning once a week."
With that, he turned and left.
The barber slumped back in the chair, resting his hand over his eyes. He was in a real fix.

It makes so much sense, dammit! :D
... Am I the only one who likes this pairing?
