Summary
"How quickly intimacy erodes certainty," Hannibal said, his voice like silk pulled taut. "How easily fidelity becomes contextual."
Will didn’t flinch. He only smiled, a slow, lazy curve of the mouth, deceptively relaxed. Yet, there was a flicker of something quieter passed through his eyes.
"That’s elegant." He said, stripping away ambiguity with precision. "Almost makes it sound like you didn’t plan it."
Hannibal inclined his head, unapologetic. He didn't deny it. And that gave Will everything he needed.
So, he leaned forward.
"I could ask you the same." Will said it too evenly, like a man laying a card he’d been waiting to play.
Hannibal went still for attuning, barely perceptible. A subtle pause in breath, a flicker in his mouth's line. But Will saw it, felt it.
He continued, tone softer now, almost affectionate. "How does it feel," he murmured, “to touch your daughter’s respected mentor?—"
He didn’t look at Hannibal as he said it. He leaned closer, too close, his breath ghosting warm across Hannibal’s cheek, his lips brushing just shy of skin near the curve of his ear.
