Title: some fava beans and a nice chianti
Author: Digimon Empress Yaten (de yaten)
Notes: Giftfic. Prompt was "monster." Crossover between Hannibal and Kingdom Hearts. Weird and short, but yeah. Implied people-eating and non-graphic violence. Reviews are love, especially if you favorite. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, Hannibal, or their characters. I don't claim to own them.
The table is set for one (one portion of meat, two of vegetables, a half-glass of wine) and a single candle is lit to bounce shadows along the crimson curtains in a room smelling of spice and mahogany and a scent unplaceable. A gentlemen sits upright (napkin folded in lap, elbows off the table) and cuts the meat into two, three, four pieces. The fork presses in, soft, rare - a dab of spice and sauce to compliment the taste. He chews five, six, seven times to savor the flavor on his tongue. He sighs in content and sips his wine. A marvelous cut of meat.
His companion, none the gentlemen, sits without a place setting and without a candle because he was rude enough to burst into the home uninvited, splitting solid oak doors carefully hand-crafted and painstakingly chosen over a weekend in Venice. It was a shame, really, because it would take a few plane rides and phone calls to replace them, but at least the intruder-guest was kind enough to stay for dinner.
He glares with piercing blue eyes at the scene and the gentlemen pauses with fork hovering above red meat and carrots.
"I'm sorry, how thoughtless of me." He spears a piece and holds it up, white toothed smile. "Would you like some?"
The guest groans behind a drool-soaked gag and kicks with his remaining leg.
The good doctor only shrugs politely and resumes his dinner.
