Okay, I'm blown away by the response to this already! You Fannibals are freaking awesome! I love you guys. Anyway what I meant by the M thing is this: Is this considered rated T? Because I'm not sure. I suck at summaries and ratings. I'm so happy you crazy people liked it so far! BTW is it Lecter or Lector?

I've been fighting with myself on this because I really just wanted to stay with Elizabeth's point of view, but I have to do this chapter from Hannibal's. I'll go back to Elizabeth's next chapter.

I pulled away once I regained control of myself. I was expecting her to start yelling at me like all stubborn women do (I might've only known her for two weeks, but she made that point of her personality clear), but she just stared at me.

"What the hell? You tell me to seduce Will, and I agree, and then you kiss me?" Well, that's what I expected.

"Elizabeth, I did it all in good reason. Will is unstable. You're the one who's going to be the bedrock in that relationship. The reason I asked you to seduce him is because he needs a stability that I can't give him. He's going to break you. Not on purpose, he just can't help it. If you get close enough to him, then everything that happens to him is going to affect you too. It's going to hurt, watching him go through that. And that's where I'll come in. I'll be your bedrock, Elizabeth. I can repair what he breaks."

"No. I can't do both. I can't…" She starts walking up the stairs and I follow her.

I stop her and put my hands on her shoulders. "Trust me. You're going to need us both." The way she's staring at me…those blue eyes…I can't take it. I kiss her again.

"Hannibal! You really aren't going to let me have the easy way out of this, are you? If Will needs a stability, my relationship with him wouldn't really be considered stable if we were cheating behind his back, now would it?"

"He won't know."

"You're impossible! I don't care if he won't know, it's the principle."

"Elizabeth, you're going to need me to be there."

"Why can't you just be there as a friend?"

"Because…"

"Because why?"

"Because I want you, too." I kiss her again to prove my point. She kisses back this time, so I assume my point has been taken.

"If he finds out…"

"He won't find out."

"What if someone else does?"

"Elizabeth, stop worrying. No one will know unless you tell them." I hug her and I run my fingers through her strawberry blonde hair. Someone to call my own… Someone who's mine…
