Ever since he had started teaching as a psychology professor, he had spotted you immediately as if there were a large spotlight on you.
Every class he had he would glance at you, noticing how quiet you often were.
One day you waited for everyone to leave before you began to leave, a habit he had noticed.
"It's Y/N. Right?" He asked as you turned around and smiled.
"Yes, yeah that's me." You said, he noticed a small blush on your face.
"I must say you turn in some very impressive work. The way you view things is very unique." He said as you smiled again at the compliment.
"Oh, thank you. I actually get that quite a bit. I hope it's a good thing." You replied, he liked to watch the way you avoided eye contact.
"It's a wonderful thing, people often don't think outside the square like you do. Your view on the world makes it seem like there's hope in everything, even darkness." He admitted, slowly stepping closer.
"This world isn't easy, being a human isn't easy. We have to find ways to deal with the ever crushing certainty of death. Maybe I'm too much of a dreamer but...what's the alternative? Just wallow in self pity and fear?" You replied with a small chuckle as he watched you speak with admiration in his eyes.
"You are far beyond your years, Y/N." He said, tilting his head slightly as he studied you.
"A curse really..." You muttered, solemnly.
"Perhaps, but do you really wish to be oblivious lile the rest of your class. Just drinking and experimenting as they like to say." He said making you chuckle a little.
"I suppose not. Knowledge can be a blessing and a curse." You said, finally meeting his gaze.
You both held the look for a few minutes before you inevitably looked away again.
"Anyway, I should probably get going. It was nice talking to you, I'm really really looking forward to more of your classes." You complimented making him smile.
"And I look forward to teaching you, Y/N."

You started to notice how much Dr. Lecter would look at you while he teaches, you didn't know if he was interest by you or interested in you.
But, you start talking after nearly every class.
This university used to be safe and happy but...it began to change.
You started to feel unsafe in your own dorm.
One night you were on your way home from the one party you've ever attended, and of course it all went to shit.
You sat on the edge of the stairs up to your dorm and sighed.
"Everything alright?" You heard a voice say, startling you back to reality.
"Oh god... Sorry you scared me." You muttered, seeing Dr. Lecter above you.
He wasn't used to seeing you so dishevelled and messy.
"What happened?" He asked, tilting his head and studying your body language.
"Well, I tried to go to a party for the first time... Just to try it. Some guy tried to have sex with me even though I said no. I ended up beating him up and getting kicked out." You grumbled as his brows furrowed a little.
"I'm glad you were able to defend yourself. Who was the boy?" He asked making you sigh.
"I think his name is Ben, Ben Sail or something." You said as he nodded, he knew exactly who you were talking about.
"You should head back to your dorm and get some rest." He said, helping you stand up.
You nodded and rubbed your eyes.
"Yeah... You're right. Night, Dr. Lecter." You said with a yawn before heading inside, Hannibal watched you leave and made sure you were safe before going on his way.
--
A week later you rushed into Hannibal's class room early in the morning.
"It was you, wasn't it!" You screamed as he looked at you and sighed.
He knew how smart you were and also knew you would figure it out.
"I was due for another meal, he happened to be the perfect target." He said as you stared at him in fear.
"You ate him!?" You screamed before he lunged forward and clamped his hand over your mouth.
His other hand went to your hip, gripping it to pull you closer to him.
"Shh, keep your voice down. I know you are not shocked, so don't act like you are. You have known since the moment you spoke to me. Your mother was a killer, you can spot them from a mile away. So, don't try to act like the sweet girl everyone thinks you are." He growled before taking his hand off your mouth.
"You think I'm pissed that prick is dead? I'm pissed you stole my fucking kill." You said as he smirked.
"So, there she is. The real Y/N." He said with a smirk as you leant against his desk.
"Should've known you would figure me out... I hope you won't be blowing my cover." You said as he moved closer, he had known for a quite a while you were a killer, all the same as him.
"Your secret is safe with me, I swear. I am also sorry for stealing your prey. Perhaps I could make it up to you at dinner." He said as you smirked and looked at him.
"As long as it's not human, I'm a killer but I don't eat my prey like you." You said making him chuckle softly.
"I promise no human meat." He said with a charming smile.
"It's a date."
