⠀ or , perhaps ( he ) could consider ; hannibal bites back .⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀

⠀ if he bites , there will be consequences . does will understand this ? ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀

⠀ ah , poor boy . all he ever needs to do is ask — hannibal has them right over here , in a little basket .⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀

⠀ and he has chew toys for that , doesn't he ?⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀

⠀ no biting ; he knows better .⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀

⠀ a brow raises . if it were anyone else , hannibal would serve them for dinner . but he understands the boys tones , and when true venom is behind the words . so he just clicks his tongue playfully . “ i'm a bit out of the ordinary . ”⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀

⠀ “ not too long . i suppose i enjoy watching you sleep . ” a living , ( sort of * ) human creature — hannibal is fascinated by the concept of will graham . perhaps the corruption he could cause . lips twitch . he smiles down at him .⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀

⠀ ah , he's awake ; good . hannibal curls his fingers , nails lightly scraping against his scalp . “ hello , will . ” the vampire all but purrs . he's glad to have will back where he wants him , where he can relish in the control .⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀

⠀ he can never move from this position , now . he's stuck like this forever . head tilts as he observes the other , eyes raking over his form . hm . hannibal will have to start feeding him a little extra ; small boy .⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀

⠀ hannibal is enthralled , smile widening on his features as he examines the sleeping boy . a crouch is taken , hand reaching to pet through his curls .⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀

⠀ although normally hannibal would not encourage sleeping on the floor . . . . . he's draping a blanket over him . must keep him warm . ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀

⠀ “ mm . i am proud of you for sticking up for yourself , ” a moment passes , and he adds ; “ ( but * ) , i know you've quite the temper . we don't bite , will . ” a gentle scolding . he's been too hard on his boy lately . arm slides around his + ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀

⠀ now that he's back , hannibal will take care of him . perhaps he could get started on a brunch of sorts — he's sure will skipped breakfast . he sighs . leans down to kiss the top of his head . “ you mustn't go around biting , will . ”⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀

⠀ “ mm , have you not been doing well at work ? ” the hand stays , moving up to scratch at his curls now . poor boy ; he knows how much of a workaholic will can be .⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀

⠀ hannibal is quick to shush , hoping his presence doesn't startle the boy . a hand reaches out , presses to the nape of his neck . “ lay back down , sweet boy . ”⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀

⠀ what a pleasant surprise . hannibal certainly doesn't mind , he's happy to see will ( * back where he belongs . ) a seat is taken at the edge of the mattress — watching him sleep .⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀

⠀ + perhaps searching for a pulse .⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀

⠀ either way , hannibal takes the bait — fingers slide up his throat , just barely pressing . if he twitched just right , he could probably break his neck . “ there's no harm in a little affection , will . ” he leans in , noses at his jaw — +⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀

⠀ “ perhaps you feel that way for now , but it won't last long . there can be harmful affects from lack of company ; intimacy . ” fingers slide up — a claw just barely scratches at the underside of his neck . a tease , of sorts .⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀
