Love (Slashers X Reader)

TWENTY-ONE

"(Y/N) darling, may I speak to you in the other room?" Hannibal gently coaxes you out of the room and back into the kitchen where the two of you can talk privately. Standing directly in front of you, he places his hands on your upper arms, giving them a soft reassuring squeeze. "I don't want to sound too pessimistic, but are you absolutely certain you believe his story?"

Sighing, you gaze back towards the living room where the man is still tied down. "Well, it's definitely a bit of a stretch but I've seen stranger things. A man being overtaken by a revenge seeking spirit doesn't sound too crazy compared to a dream demon attempting to murder me. I know it's not good but I do trust what he says. His demeanor has completely changed from earlier in the woods. I think we'd only know for sure if we watched over him for a while, though."

"You want him to stay here?" Hannibal questions, his eyes flickering between yours as if searching for any feelings of doubt or hesitance that would allow him the chance to talk you out of it.

"Just so we can watch over him. If he's here surrounded by all of you, then it's guaranteed someone will see if he changes between the two different personalities. Plus, with him here he can't be out there killing anyone." You try your best to explain it in a way that will get Hannibal to agree.

"Dear, if he starts living here then that's yet another mouth to feed and care for. Can you afford it? You're already struggling with providing for everyone here, adding more will certainly drain all of your funds." His hands slide down your arms to your hands, his thumbs gently rubbing the back of them. "I just don't want you to make a decision you'll regret."

You smile softly as you give his hands a reassuring squeeze much like he did earlier. "You don't need to worry, Hannibal. Billy and Stu have both already said that they'll help out, and I could always get a job, as well. And a lot of the money that goes towards groceries will be able to start being saved once Bubba's garden starts producing vegetables and fruits, and with Jason using traps to catch rabbits and such."

Hannibal sighs, knowing that he can't really talk you out of letting the stranger stay. Everything he could possibly think to say in attempts to sway your decision, you would easily counter with solutions. "I just want you to be safe." He pulls you forward, pressing a kiss to your forehead as he wraps his arms around you.

Wrapping your arms around his neck, you pull him a bit closer. "I'll always be safe if I'm with you."

Hannibal looks at you, your noses practically brushing against each other with how close you are to each other. Raising his hand, he carefully places his hand on your cheek. "I will protect you with my life. Always."

Your breath hitches in surprise as he closes the small gap, his lips pressing against yours. He keeps the kiss as a simple peck, waiting for you to either accept it or reject it. After a few seconds you push closer, accepting the kiss. It starts slow, the both of you testing the waters. With each passing moment the kiss grows more and more heated until you're eventually pressed against the wall with his tongue easily dominating your own. You can't help but to moan softly as his hands begin to explore your body. Every kiss and touch feels addicting, allowing you to completely get lost in the moment. And when he finally pulls away leaving you panting and breathless, you come to the realization that you just had an amazing make out session with Hannibal.

You must admit that out of everyone, he's not the one you would've guessed to make the first move. Your first guess would've been Danny with how flirtatious and touchy he is. You know that quite a few of them like you in such ways and that it was only a matter of time until someone actually expressed it. But Hannibal being the first to do so? You're surprised, but certainly not upset. The man is skilled and you're definitely a bit upset it ended so quickly.

"I could become addicted to the way you taste." Hannibal whispers the words as he presses one last kiss to your lips before fully pulling away. "I'll return to the others first. You should take a moment to fix your appearance." There's a small smirk on his face as he says this but he exits the kitchen before you can say anything in response.

Quickly heading to the bathroom, your face flushes with heat as you look in the mirror. Your clothes are wrinkled and out of place, and your lips are swollen from the kiss. You try your best to straighten out your clothes but your mind keeps going back to what had happened in the kitchen. You can't help but to wonder that if given the chance, would you have let it go further with him?

Sorry that the first chapter after disappearing for a month is so short. Hopefully your first kiss with one of the slashers makes up for it.

Love you all! And thanks for being so patient with me.
