Ummmm, warnings for blood (and sex) but come on this is the Hannibal archive for Pete's sake! There will always be blood (and sex)!
Paragraphs in Italics are flashbacks
Again... I own nothing *sobs*
-O-o-O-o-O-
"No. Absolutely not!" Hannibal said yanking the dart out of the globe and cursing it, "Here, throw it again." He added passing the dart back to Will.
"Awwww! Why? That nice lady Vampire lives there! The one we met at that psychiatrist thing in London last year, Alana Bloom!" Wills voice was brimming with excitement, he really liked Alana. And she really really liked him. A few too many lingering touches on her part had Hannibal dragging Will to the toilets and reminding him just who he belonged to.
"Yes, Alana Bloom does live there..." Hannibal replied dryly. Moving to sit on the sofa.
"Oh my gosh, Hannibal!" Will laughed, sitting next to his Mate. "Are you jealous?"
"I don't like the way she touches you." Hannibal said crossing his arms.
"Hannibal, we've been together for about 300 years... Why would I leave now? Alana and I are friends, and we promised we'd visit. You can start a practice in Baltimore... There's no shortage of crazy people there!" Will said cuddling into Hannibals side.
"But you are all the crazy I need..." Hannibal grinned, un crossing his arms to wrap one around Will.
"Empathy disorder and an over-active imagination, Hanni. Not crazy. That's one of the reasons Alana was so... interested in me." Will looked up at Hannibal with a little smirk on his face. Teasing Hannibal like that was counter productive, but so much fun.
"We. Are. Not. Going. To. Baltimore." Hannibal grumbled, looking away but leaving his arm where it was.
"Look Hannibal. We both know how this is gonna go. I'm going to flutter my pretty blue eyes, you're going to melt, we're gonna pack then have sex and get on the first plane to Baltimore in the morning. Where we will cause trouble, say hi to Alana and make some people art. Sound good?" Will grinned running a hand down Hannibal's chest.
"People art?" Hannibal asked sounding hopeful. Will rolled his eyes.
"Of course, I offer you sex and all you can think about is playing with our food... No sex now, go pack!" Will said sliding away from Hannibal.
"Are you not going to help me?" Hannibal questioned going into their bedroom.
"No." Will snapped pouting a little.
"Okay then... Don't blame me if all I pack you is ties and underwear..." Hannibal teased in a sing song voice.
"You wouldn't dare." Will challenged glaring holes into their bedroom door.
"Oh, wouldn't I?" Hannibal challenged back.
"Awwwwww, Hannibal!" Will whined, "You suck!" He added padding into their bedroom in his bare feet.
"Yes I do..." Hannibal purred, waggling his eyebrows. "And very well, might I add."
"No sex Hannibal, pack your stuff." Will sighed, rolling his eyes.
They moved around their apartment packing everything they thought they might need. And it was the comfortable sort of silence... Until Hannibal broke it...
"Do we have to go to Baltimore? We can go to New York? Las Vegas?" Hannibal did not like Alana, no, that's a lie. He did like Alana, what he did not like is how much she liked Will.
"Yes Hannibal, we have to go to Baltimore,we can't argue with the dart of fate." Will said dramatically, closing his suitcase with a flourish.
"But Will, there are so many other places we could go!" So many other places without Alana.
"I am not going to leave you for Alana, Hannibal. She is an intelligent woman, I'm sure she knows trying anything with me while you're around is a bad idea..." Will said trying to calm him down before he worked himself up.
"Oh! So if I wasn't around she might try something?! And would you let her?" Will face palmed.
"No Hannibal, listen darling..." He sat them both down on the bed and took his mates hands. "I'm going to say this one last time ok? THERE IS NOTHING GOING ON, OR GOING TO BE GOING ON, BETWEEN ME AND ALANA BLOOM! Now stop being crazy, or I'll get you a therapist!" He said giving him a good natured slap to the face.
"Okay but I'll be watching..." Hannibal grumbled, going on about 'pretty mate stealing vampires' all night.
The next morning when they were dragging their suitcases through the airport, Hannibal was still trying to get Will to change their destination.
"Cornwall?" Hannibal said his tone tinged with urgency.
"Where the fuck is Cornwall?" Will asked.
"Language, William. We are in public. It is in England, very nice ice cream and seasides." Hannibal smiled.
"Oh great! Let's go there instead!" Will grinned.
"Really?!" Hannibal was shocked never in their 300 years together had Will been this easy to convince, when ever Will had an idea he clung on to it like a Pitbull with lock jaw.
"No!" Will snapped, "I've already called and told Alana WE are visiting. To not turn up would be rude Hannibal."
"You called? Where did you get her number?" Hannibal asked gruffly.
Will winced, "She gave me it at that event in London... When you went to get drinks."
"How often do you two speak?" Hannibals voice betrayed nothing but after 300 years Will could tell he was livid.
"Every day...just about her work and stuff, she said she could get me a teaching job at the FBI!" Will said as they neared their gate. "Come on it'll be fun."
Hannibal sighed, he knew Will wanted a job and liked feeling useful. While Hannibal went to college to get the degrees he'd gotten at least 10 times before, Will went and studied Law. Always drawn to helping people, Hannibal thought with a small smile. He smiled even wider when he saw Will smile, Will obviously taking Hannibals smile as an 'Okay'. "A teaching Job at the FBI and Married to a Psychiatrist... You've picked a hell of a place to hide, William." Hannibal grinned. "You do know that you'll be teaching them how to catch us, right?" He added quietly, taking his seat next to Will on the plane.
"Not us, people like us who aren't as good at what they do..." Will said taking his mates hand and kissing his knuckles. "They'll never catch us Hanni, they can't."
-O-o-O-o-O-
As they left the airport in Baltimore Will found it hilarious that Alana was stood there with a card that said 'Graham' on it Hannibal, however, did not. But he put on a mask of slight amusement and kissed Alana on her wind flushed cheeks. He did, after all, promise Will he'd try to play nice with her... After they became members of the Mile High Club.
"Come on Will." Hannibal whispered to his mate, tugging on his sleeve.
"What? Why, where are we going? You do know we're on a plane, right?" Will asked wondering why they were whispering. He looked around, everyone was asleep, 'ah, okay then! That answers that!' he thought.
"I'm bored... Let's have some fun." Hannibal nodded towards the bathroom.
Will was shocked to say the least, not only was Hannibal suggesting sex in a public bathroom, he was suggesting sex in a public bathroom on a fucking plane! "You do know we're on a plane right?" He repeated, when Hannibal nodded he sighed. "Right, good! Just making sure... Are you crazy?!"
"No. Come on..." Hannibal purred, making his accent even rougher and kissing Wills neck, the soft, answering moan he received going straight to his cock. "You know you want too."
And that was how he had Will on his knees with a dick in his throat desperately jerking himself off. Will came when Hannibal started cursing in his mother tongue. When Will looked up at Hannibal with lust blown eyes, moaning around his cock, Hannibal had no choice but to follow him over the edge.
Sorting out their clothes and making sure they looked presentable, they slipped out of the bathroom and back to their seats. On Will's seat they found two little blue badges in the shape of a plane with 'MHC' written on it.
After a little laugh and a lot of kissing Will asked Hannibal a question. "Do you trust me?"
"Of course I trust you!" Hannibal smiled.
"Then why do you not like that Alana and I are friends?" Will was really confused about that, "If you trust me, Alana should be irrelevant."
"I like Alana, I'm loathe to admit it, Will. But I'm just a little jealous and a tiny bit scared you might prefer her company to mine..."
Will laughed, "Gosh, you're the stupidest smart person I've ever met... Promise me you'll play nice with Alana... Or I'll rip your fangs out!"
Hannibal winced, he had pulled a fang out before purely due to strong curiosity and a lot of goading from Will. It hurt like fuck but grew back in about an hour. This happened after Will lost a few fingers in a particularly gruesome fight with another Vampire and they grew back. Hannibal realised Will was still waiting for an answer. "I promise."
"Hello Alana, how have you been?... It's been about a year, hasn't it?" Hannibal greeted with a charming smile.
"I've been fine thank you Hannibal!" She said hugging Will just a little bit longer than Hannibal would of liked, he mentally cursed that dart again. "I've missed you though." She said giving Will doe eyes. Hannibal just barely resisted the urge to rip them out of her head. "Are you staying at a hotel until you buy a house? You can stay with me if you like..."
Hannibal actually growled but masked it with a cough, thankfully Will stepped in. "No thank you Alana, we already have a hotel paid for and our eyes on a few houses."
"Oh okay then, I'll drop you off at your Hotel then. Oh and Will, just between you and me-" Hannibals face soured. "- you've practically got that teaching job at the academy already... Jack Crawford is going to call tomorrow and invite you for an interview, but its just a formality... I've shown him everything you've ever written and I think he's in love." She giggled climbing into her hybrid after practically pushing Will into the passenger seat, leaving Hannibal to simmer in the back seat.
Will and Alana talked and talked about everything from dogs to the proper brewing time for tea. They didn't even notice when Hannibal silently left the car at a traffic light and ran all the way to the hotel.
About an hour later Will entered their room and breathed a sigh of relief. When he noticed Hannibal didn't respond but was very much alive, he sighed for a different reason and climbed into the bed and wrapped an arm around Hannibals waist. "I love you, you idiot." He said and kissed the back of his mates neck.
Hannibal smiled.
-O-o-O-o-O-
They were woken by the shrill noise of Will's phone on the bedside cabinet.
"Hello, Will Graham." Will spoke trying to sound active at 7 in the morning.
"Hello, Will. You're going to have to get used to early starts if you want this job!" The man chuckled. "This is Jack Crawford."
