Hannigram

Chapter 38

When Will arrived at the hospital, he followed the detective to the nurses station where he asked for Hanninals room number. While the detective got directions from the nurse, Will couldn't calm down. He was still breathing heavily and seeing all the patients with varying degrees of injury wasn't helping. He wanted to leave so much but before he could act on his thoughts and run away, the detective turned around and started walking, gesturing Will to follow him.
"Dectective Novak." He said as if Will had asked "and you are?"
"Will" muttered Will.
"How long have you known Hannibal?" Novak asked. Will thought about it for a minute. How long has he actually known him?
"Around a year. He was my boyfriend till I chased him away"
The detective raised an eye brow choosing not to question him further and walked the rest of the way in silence. By the time they had gotten there, Hannibal was being wheeled away for emergency surgery so all he could do was wait.

Detective Novak said he would be back and left Will alone in the corridor waiting for news. Hours passed and Will haven't stopped pacing the hallways asking every nurse who went by what was happening. All they said was he was in surgery and they'll know more soon. Everything Will heard that answer he got angrier. It got to the point that he threw a chair against the walls and had to be restrained by security staff.

The  detective returned about 4 hours later to find Will in cuffs sat against the wall.
"Why is he restrained?" Novak asked the security officer sitting beside him.
"For his own safety, sir" he grunted "It would be best if you moved along, the police will be here shortly" The guy didn't even look up from his phone when talking, mindlessly scorrlung through Facebook. Dectective Novak pulled out his badge and shoved it between the officers face and phone and demanded he be released. The security officer jumped up in  second apologising and helping Will to his feet before undoing the cuffs and walking away.

The detective placed a hand on Wills shoulder as he rubbed his wrists where the cuffs were sitting.
"Thanks for that" Will said while taking a seat next to Dectective Novak. "Hey, I was wondering, what does the C stand for on your card?" The detective looked at the boy.
"Oh" he was taken a back a bit by the question. Nobody ever asks him. "Its er... Cas" Will nodded and went back to srating at a poster on personal hygiene on the wall.

About 30 minuets of comfortable silence later, a young doctor came down the hall.
"Lecter?" She asked and they both stood. Taking that as a yes she started to explain. "The tip of the knife he was stabbed with broke off in the liver causes him to bleed internally. We did manage to remove the blade and control the bleeding" She took a breath "I'd say around a week in observation, and he should make a full recovery"
"Thank you" Will said, a new found happiness in his voice. "Thank you so much!" His smile was so wide his face hurt. He hadn't smiled like that for a while.
His phone suddenly started vibrating in his pocket. He looked at the screen which showed that Dean was calling but he simply pressed the lock button and put it back in his pocket. He wanted to see Hannibal before he could wake up fully  so he didn't have to answer any difficult questions so he rushed down the corridor and into the room where Hannibal lay, monitor attached to his chest which where beeping softly.
Will sighed deeply. His friend was going to be OK. He put a hand on his chest and just listened to him as he took shallow breaths.
Will had fallen asleep at Hannibals side and when he woke up he found he had several texts and missed calls off Dean, worried about him and he wanted to know why Will wasn't answering his phone. At that moment Hannibal started to open his eyes and Will made a quick exit, telling the nearby nurse that he was waking up. He decided it was best to just call Dean back as an excuse to leave the hospital. Will flashed a quick smile to the detective who was waiting for Hannibal to fully wake up before he questioned him and walked through the double doors and back outside.
