Summary
Will has always been wise for his years, understanding and loving of Hannibal above all else, but Hannibal realises now that even he cannot accept this. “This is sick, Hanni,” he whispers, honey-sweet and sour with conviction.
The pet name is innocent and Hannibal finds a pit grow in his stomach. He growls, low, but his face remains calm; he cannot be mad, cannot. “It is a fault, a corruption, an absence of charm, to find ugliness in beautiful things, Will, but you will learn.” He carefully paraphrases a favourite of Will’s, hoping to shed understanding upon his own designs. “I can help you learn.”
“This is not beautiful.” A childish insistence. “You—you’re...I don’t know how to help you,” he sobs, eyes shiny and wet with frustration, with love. That’s all Hannibal needs.
There will be time to learn, if only Will is willing.
