Hello! Sorry for the late update! This chapter has angst! I hope you enjoy it! Note at the end!

The goddess sits on the desks and see that her immortal is worried. "What is on your mind Hannibal?" She asks in a velvet tone and holds his hand.

"What have the Fates done to Will Graham and me? I never felt this before. I am worried and confused. Please, tell me what is going on." He asks her and he can feel her comfort. She always cared for him and saved him no matter how many times he died. He sits next to her and listen to her.

Athena takes in a deep breath and tells him what she knows. "Do you remember Galahad?" She sees that he nods and continues. "He was your soul mate but you didn't have time to interweave your souls at one. You died when you tried to kill the enemy. Even, though I told you not to be a hero. You were loyal to your friend Arthur. The fates are giving you another chance but this is the last time. Will Graham is the reincarnation of Galahad and you will be able to connect with him. If you don't bond with Will you will wither and die. Make every moment counts so, make him fall in love with you. I can't save you this time. However, if you success then you can live with Will as long you want. You will have the choice to live with him forever as long you become one with him. My time is scarce. I must go. May the fates be with you. Good bye my immortal." She leaves after she kisses Hannibal cheeks and vanishes.


Hannibal listen to her carefully and knows what he has to do. However, it is not very simple task and he is worried if can do it. The Fate might have gave him a time period which makes everything more complicated. He feels Will is very similar to Galahad but he is different. Will is going through a hard situation which is there to help him through it. Hannibal wonders how he will do this impossible task.

As time pass Hannibal thinks all the memories of Galahad who was one of the youngest of the knight and the most naive. Yet, Galahad was the most handsome out the knights. He had bright blue eyes, curly brown hair, and his body was very built. He never wanted to kill even though he was his job. He caught Hannibal's attention but back then he was called Tristan. Back then he had long dirty blond hair with a one single braid which Galahad has insisted in braiding his hair. He has a beard, a black tattoo on his face, he was a very quiet warrior, and he kept to himself.

The two had their moments but Galahad made the first move on Tristan. He went up to him one day and ask why he would stare at him. They were alone in Tristan's room and this where it all started.

"Tristan why are you always looking at him. Why am I so interesting to you?" The young knight asks without know the consequences of his words.

Tristan didn't say a word but got up and gentle kissed Galahad. That night they did a lot more than kissing. They establish a relationship and they learned to care for each other.


Hannibal gets back to reality and sees that he must get home. He remembers all the good times with Galahad and hopes it will be similar with Will. The days goes by and then it is Thursday comes.

The day goes slow for Hannibal and just wants to see Will. He dressed one of his best suits and looked his best. He is wearing a light blue shirt, a maroon tie, a navy blue jacket, and matching pants. He know that he is handsome but Will notice him.

Will knocks on the door and looks a bit better than last time he was here. He is clean shaved and put himself together.

Hannibal opens the door with a smile and welcomes Will in. "Good evening Will. How are you?" He says in a soothing tone and let's him sit down first. He notes that he shaved and looks a lot better this session.

"I am feeling a little better. I decide I need to put my life back together. I can't just mope around." Will says in a confident tone but his body language is telling a different story. He is lay back with his hands cross. His faces is showing a expression of worry.

"That is very good to hear. Why the sudden change of plan, Will? What change your mind?" Hannibal asks as he sits down and relaxes. His mind is a mess and not as focus as he should be. But he notes all of Will's nonverbal behavior.

Will face twisted in a confused gaze and wonders what he should say. "Honestly, I thought if I get my life together than Molly will want me back. Who am I kidding? I am a mess. How can anyone fix me? I just want to be with her but she doesn't want me back. Do you know how much that hurts. To not be wanted?" Will's voice trembles and he sobs. He can't hold it in anymore. He curls up into a ball and he can't stops his sobs.

Hannibal is shocked and didn't except Will to open up so quickly. He has to trend water here and be very careful with his words. "I don't know how that feels, Will. Can you tell me what you are feeling?" He asks and the sobbing becomes louder.

"How I feel? I feel like shit. I can't eat or sleep. I can't work. I feel worthless." He blubbers and cries into his hands. He doesn't know what to do but let out all the sorrows.

Hannibal can't just watch him cry any more. He gives him a tissue, he moves closer to him and holds him. He hums a song he would sing to Galahad and Will slowly calmed down.

Will didn't mind the touching and found it very soothing. He blushes after and knows that Hannibal will think he is some pussy. "I am sorry. I haven't cried like that since my father died."

"Will, it is fine. How do you feel now?" Hannibal asks and hopes that the crying help let out some feelings.

"I feel a bit better. I was holding a lot in. I couldn't talk anyone at work because they didn't want to hear my sob story. I do want to get better. It is hard being single again at my age. You know what I mean?" Will says as he gets himself back into a calm state. His blows his nose and wipes off the tears. He thinks he looks like a mess and Hannibal finds him gross.

"No, I don't know what you mean, Will. You are a very handsome, smart and strong man." Hannibal says without know what would happen. He can't just hit on his clients.

Will thinks that he is hearing things. "Did you just call me handsome and smart? I just cried in your office and you think I am handsome?" He is very confused why his psychologist is giving him compliments.

Hannibal clears this throat and tries to change the subject. "Why does this confuse you Will? Don't you know that you are handsome? I don't mean to make you uncomfortable. Are you thinking about dating?" He tries his best to have Will think about something else. He keeps his express showing calm but he is nervous about what will happen next. This never happens not in this body.

"What dating? What is that? No. I am still getting over Molly but when I am ready I will make sure I will inform you." Will says the statement with a grin and Hannibal blushes a tint of pink. He laughs at Hannibal's reactions and feels things might get better.

"What are you doing to get over Molly?" Hannibal asks and wanted this to be more focus on Will issues rather than sexual advances. He see that Will is a lot more playful and wants to something from him beside the help.

"I am coming to you for help? What should I do Dr. Lecter?" Will asks and sees that Hannibal is trying to change to topic. He makes his own psychologist uncomfortable what kind of person is he.

"That is a good start. Will, I can't tell you what to do because this your life and you have to take control of it. I can give you advice in ways to cope with your situation." Hannibal acts very profession and see that his time is almost over.

"Ok? How should I cope?" Will asks and needs more help. He notes that the time is almost over and decide to be an ass.

"Well, our time is almost done but I can give a tip. Then we can come back to this next week. You could have a hobby that you enjoy and do that when you feel sad. You do have hobbies?" Hannibal asks and sees that Will is smiling about something. What is this cunning man planning.

"Yes, I do have hobbies but would you like to be one of my hobbies?" Will grins and sees that Hannibal's reaction is total shock. "What I mean is that it is getting late but I want to go out with you. For like a coffee? I will be getting myself out there." Now, he pleads with Dr. Lecter and thinks that he is willing to help.

Hannibal is shocked about what Will is saying. He notes the different emotions that were displayed in session which worries him. "Will, that would very unprofessional. I am willing to go out with you. In a friendly way and I will be help you in coping. Also, getting you back into society and hopefully get you back to work. You can have my number, call me when we can meet up and where." Hannibal gets up and Will does the same. They walks towards the door but Will still wanted to say something.

"I will call you Dr. Lecter. Thank you for your help." He puts his hand out for a shake and Hannibal shakes his hand. However, Will pulls him close and pecks his cheek. Then he runs out before Hannibal can responds.

He leaves Hannibal feeling confused but happy. Will seems to be getting more comfortable with him. What is going on with Will and what is his game with Hannibal?

Note: This relationship will go by slowly. Yes, Hannibal is very out of character and so is Will but this is an alternative world. They will be switch roles at times and Will might have borderline but I still figure out what he might have. Sorry!

Tristan -King Arthur

Galahad -King Arthur
