Dislaimer: I do not own the splendidness of Sweeney Todd
Wanted 'er like mad...
"Wot's the matter, love?" She asked, sitting down beside him.
"I still have to get to the Beadle... and I still need to do something with Lucy..." Sweeney looked around the bakehouse frantically. "Where is she?"
"I's okay. I locked 'er up in me room." Nellie layed her head on his shoulder and sighed uneasily. "I love yeh."
"I know," He answered with a smile. "But you know wot else I know you love?"
Nellie looked at him curiously before he plundered his lips hungrily onto hers. She felt herself gasp as he nibbled her lip lightly, and she couldn't help but tangle her fingers through his hair greedily. He pulled her closer to his chest and flet him shake from the lack of air and entoxity of the kiss. Finally, he pulled away breathlessly and smiled.
"That," She breathed, looking up at him with hungry eyes. "And so much more."
The following morning, Sweeney awoke bright and early to Nellie's slumbering form. He watched her for a few moments before deciding what to do until she woke up. She was so pale... a problem that soon could be fixed after the Beadle was killed off. He was going to take her to the sea, to a home she always had dreamt of... and he was going to make sure she was the happiest woman in the world. She deserved it after all she'd done for him.
As he crept out of the room and down towards the pie shop, he jumped at the sound of a voice the moment he stepped into the doorway.
"Mr. Todd, sir, is tha' you?" Toby's voice rang from the booth not far from himself.
"Oh, yes." Sweeney said, pushing the door shut. "What is it boy?"
"I was jus' wonderin' an' all... is somethin' goin' on between you and mum?" Toby asked, folding his arms across his chest.
Sweeney stared at him for a moment, unsure of what to say.
"I mean, don't yeh 'ave a wife up there sir?" Toby whispered. "Is that really the right thing to be doin' ter mum? Shaggin' 'er and all?"
Sweeney felt himself fighting the laugh that was threatening to escape his throat and the shock that had pressed through when Toby had spoken. "Where in the world did you hear a term like that boy?"
"The workhouse." Toby said with a grin. "The other boys there talked about it all the time... and what exactly happens between the two people doing it..."
Sweeney slammed his fist lightly on the table, which caused Toby to close his mouth for a moment. "I don't need to hear what those boys told you about it. I want to know how you found out about it."
"You two aren't very quiet." Toby said with another grin. "That wife of your must not have given you very much when you two were active-"
A loud smack filled the air and Toby rubbed his cheek uneasily. "Don't speak to me like that."
"Mr. T, wot was tha' noise?" Nellie yelled from the doorway, causing him to jump back away from Toby. "Oh no, Toby, yer cheek..."
Sweeney stood and watched her rub his face lightly.
"Wot did yeh do to 'im?" She asked, stepping away from Toby.
"He was talking about my sex life in a demeaning manner." Sweeney mumbled.
"Oy, Toby..." Nellie turned to the boy with a smile. "Yeh need to keep quiet abou' stuff like tha'."
"I can't 'elp it the two of you sound like wild animals up there." Toby muttered under his breath.
"See what I mean? I will not have some boy talk about me like this Nellie! It's embarrassing!" Sweeney folded his arms across his chest and sighed.
"Yer actin' like a lil kid, love." Nellie leaned up and pressed her lips softly against his. "Plus theres no use in hidin' it anymore."
"And what do we do about Lucy?" He asked, wrapping his arm around her.
"Toby love, coul' yeh go ter the market fer me an' buy some toffee's?" Toby nodded as she handed him the money. "Thank yeh."
As the boy left, and as he gave Sweeney a sneer, Nellie smiled unevenly.
"What are you planning, Nellie?" Sweeney asked with a frown.
"Wot indeed Mr. T." She said back with a grin as she sat in the booth beside him.
End Note: Yeahhhh not very long... but it will indeed be better next chapter. Hahaha. Toby gave Sweeney a sex talk. Reviews are loooooooveeeee.
