“Please, don’t leave.”
The noise woke Will from a deep sleep, the dog barking and a
dragging noise making him instantly get out of bed and head down the
hallway.
He saw Hannibal standing there, holding a suitcase.
“What’s going on?”
Hannibal said, “I’ve decided to leave. As I know my
presence upsets you, it seemed the best course of action for both of our
sakes.”
Will didn’t say a word and he turned away, heading further down
the hall.
“You can’t just…”
Hannibal turned, glaring. “We have been in this house for
nearly a month and in that time we have shared as little space as you will
allow me. It is a red letter day when we share more than four words between us,
and even those seem like a torture I no longer wish to put you through. I will
not force you to coexist with me.”
Will had to swallow back bile at the idea of being separated
from Hannibal.
“Please, don’t leave.”
Hannibal let out a long sigh. “You do not want me here. I
make you angry, I am aware that I foiled your plans for our demise in the fall.
I am sorry to have taken a clean death away from you, burdening you with
feelings you no longer wish to remember. I would have preferred if you had
allowed Francis to kill me over this torturous existence. I cannot bear to look
at you any longer, Will, I…”
He turned, dragging a suitcase behind him as he ignored Will’s
protests of, “No, I didn’t…you..I couldn’t just…Hannibal, please
stop.”
Hannibal did not, continuing on, “I am still quite unsure
why you did not just push me over and save yourself, though in your temporary
insanity I am sure you thought it wiser to kill us both. Perhaps the idea of
keeping yourself at arm’s length was appealing, I did not expect it of
you.”
Will felt tears on his face, “I didn’t…I couldn’t let you
die alone.”
Hannibal paused, turning to stare at him.
“Why?”
Will heard the dog barking again and ignored it, walking towards
Hannibal.
“I…god, I couldn’t…the whole time you were in there, I
couldn’t…I had nightmares where you died and I didn’t get to see you again.
I…”
Hannibal set down his suitcase, walking towards Will and meeting
him in the middle. “You fear for your feelings, I understand. I do not
enjoy this open wound you’ve given me either.”
Will fought for breath. “I can’t, I need you. I just…god
it’s so hard to let go. It’s…”
Hannibal reached out and their hands touched, making Will
moan.
“Do you ache as I do, Will?”
Will nodded, “I can’t, I…please, just make me. Just make
me, it’ll be so much easier.”
Hannibal smiled, pressing their hands tightly together as he
admitted, “You would hate me, if I did. I much prefer to see you fighting,
aching for a touch that you know I would gladly give you.”
Will bit his lip so hard he drew blood, taking two steps forward
his chest flush with Hannibal’s own.
“Things were so much easier when you were taking me apart,
putting me back together, not…I…”
Hannibal waited, purring, “Take what you need, Will.
Whatever you need, I would give you. Tear into me, beat me, love me, it does
not matter. Now that I know you do not hate me, there is nothing on earth that
will take me from you.”
Will whined, “I just…god, I…”
He grabbed Hannibal’s shoulders and crushed their mouths
together, a messy kiss that Hannibal growled into, letting Will turn them in
towards the wall to be pushed back against it. He felt Will’s excitement
against his hip and moved against it, reveling in his groan of
appreciation.
“Take me, Will, take all of me.”
Will tore open his shirt and buttons flew, Will’s mouth biting
into his flesh so hard he knew it would bruise. He shook under the force of
Will’s appreciation, his hunger, pushing back against the mouth assaulting him
even as he felt Will pulling away.
“God, I can’t…”
“I would gladly prostrate myself at you feet, Will, begging,” he
said breathlessly as Will began unbuckling his belt, shoving a hand down his
pants and moving his hand in time with Hannibal’s moans.
“Mylimasis, nesibaigia, nesibaigia,
prasome,” he panted, biting into Will’s mouth.
Will whimpered, “Touch me, god, please,
touch me,” and Hannibal did just that, moving his hand in time with Will’s own.
Panting open mouthed Hannibal came, tears
on his face as he sighed, “Yes, Will, yes, yes,” and Will’s whimpered, “Don’t
let go, god, please,” made him lick down his neck, biting hard as Will’s cum
stained his fingers.
They stood there, breathless and panting,
Will’s hand at the back of his head petting and Hannibal purring into his
throat, tasting the sweat of their exertions.
“Perfection,” he praised, biting at Will’s
skin even as he lifted his hand up to taste Will on his fingers.
Will held him tighter, nails digging into
his skin. “Don’t leave. Please, don’t leave.”
Hannibal let out a long sigh as he
finished, pulling himself back and staring into Will’s eyes.
“Why would I ever leave? There is no
longer a reason to keep my distance, as I have only begun to satisfy both of
our cravings.”
Will collapsed against him, Hannibal
holding him upright with ease.
The stickiness between them not even an
afterthought as Will whispered, “I need you.
Hannibal ran a hand through Will’s hair
and whispered, “And I you, Will, and I you.”
