Hannigram

Chapter 7

*Time jump 2 months*

Will had began to enjoy Hannibal's company over the time they have spent together. It turned into a weekly trip to Hannibal's house for dinner every Friday. Hannibal knew how much he meant to Will, especially as he hadn't really made any other friends since the start of school. Hannibal did notice as well that Wills bullying kept getting worse and he could see the toll it was taking on poor Will. Hannibal never pointed out how terrible Will looked as he came through the school gates every morning. there were bags under his eyes and his over all appearance looked disheveled. Hannibal knew he had to help Will in one way or another.

It was now Saturday and Will was still laid in his bed at 10 am. his shirt was soaked from a night of restless sleep and his hair was stuck to his head with sweat. He stared at the plain ceiling above his head in silence not wanting to move for forever and a  day, but his was suddenly shaken out of his thoughts by his mother walking in. "You know Will. You should really sort out your room today." His mum said with a sigh. "Mmmhmm" Will replied. "It has never bothered you before" Wills mum sat at the end of his bed and looked at the boy. "Well your friend Hannibal that you always talked about has rung" Will started listening to what his mother was going to say next. He was hoping that Hannibal had just asked if Will could go out. "And he said that he would like to see you." Will sat up and nodded at his mother. "OK. When?" His mother stood up and straitened the skirt she was wearing and replied "He will be here in an hour"

Wills eyes widened "HERE?! AN HOUR?!" He panicked. "Yes Will. Don't sound so panicked" And with that she left the room. Will sat up and ran to the bathroom for a quick shower before sprinting back into his room. He threw on his cleanest clothes and began to tidy the mess that he slept in. Will even went as far as changing his bed sheets and getting a cloth to wipe the dust off his bookshelves. Hannibal had never seen Will's room and he wanted to make a good impression. In the end Will had filled three bin bags with rubbish and had filled the washing basket in the hall so much it nearly over flowed. Will sat on his bed and let out  breath. Even he had never seen his room so tidy.

Will sat there for what felt like an eternity, looking out at the street waiting for Hannibal to arrive and sure enough he pulled up and got out of his car. Will rushed down the stairs to greet him because he knew Hannibal would have felt it rude of Will to let his mother answer in his place. There was a small knock at the door and Will jumped from the third stair to the floor and grabbed the doorknob and twisted it so he could open the door. Hannibal stepped in with a small smile on his face "Hello Will" Will gave Hannibal a small smile in return "Morning Hannibal" Will stepped out of his way so Hannibal could take off his coat and shoes. To Wills surprise Hannibal was wearing simple trousers and a jumper that was a little bit too big. This took him by surprise because he is so used to seeing him dressed up and looking smart. Will gestured Hannibal to follow him. 

Hannibal looked around Wills home. It perfectly defined Will, the house was small but roomy and everything seemed to look out of place but it didn't at the same time. Hannibal liked this. Will opened his bedroom door and went inside. Hannibal took a breath and followed. Wills room was fairly big but far from empty. He had a large oak wood book shelf filled with an assortment of books. there was a desk in the corner and he had a large double bed opposite his wardrobe which stood in the corner near the window. Hannibal noticed how the room was dull but interesting because of all the little nick knacks that laid around. Will had a TV stand at the end of his bed which held his PlayStation and his 25" TV. Hannibal sat on Wills bed next to Will who seemed to look like he didn't know where to put himself. Hannibal started to talk but was cut off by Will "I'm sorry". Before Hannibal could ask why, Wills mum came barging into the room with a huge grin plastered on her face. Her curly brown hair was pulled back into a pony tail and her eyes were the same colour as Will.

"Good to meet you, Hannibal. I'm Wills mother, my name is Claire" She said happily. Hannibal stood up and held out his hand for Claire to shake "Hannibal Lector. Its very nice to meet you." His mum looked at Will with a shocked look. She didn't expect Hannibal to be such a polite boy. "Well. Ill be downstairs if you need anything" She said before making her leave. Hannibal turned to Will, who had his now very red face in his hands. "God. I'm sorry Hannibal." He groaned "I didn't think she would just barge in here like that." Hannibal smiled a little bit before saying. "Its quite alright, Will. My mother would have done exactly the same. Will chuckled a little bit before offering a game controller to Hannibal. "Want to play GTA with me for a bit" Hannibal looked slightly confused because he had never heard of the game but Will explained everything he needed to know before they sat and played for hours. 

Hannibal placed the controller on the bed still laughing about something that had happened on the game. He bent his fingers and stood up, stretching his back. Will paused the game and copied Hannibal. Hannibal looked at the clock which was on Wills bedside table and gasped a little. it was already 5:30. "I must go, Will. I'm going to be late home" Will nodded and switched off the TV and play station before following Hannibal down the stairs. To Wills surprise, Hannibal didn't go out the door. In fact he walked down the narrow walk way and into the kitchen "Thank you o much for having Mrs Graham" She turned around to see Hannibal at the door. "Its been a pleasure. Please do come again" She said "Its nice to see Will interact with some one else other than his dogs" Hannibal never noticed his dogs when he came in. Wills mother pointed to the living room and sure enough Hannibal saw four dogs, all different breads sleeping by the sofa.

Hannibal left the living room and walked back to Will, saying thank you to Claire one last time before grabbing his cot and slipping on his shoes. "Good bye Will" He said as he stepped out of the door and started walking towards his car. "See you later Hannibal" Will called after him before closing the door and retreating back to his room and sitting on his bed. He let out a big sigh as he let himself fall backwards onto the bed. Will had never been happier in his life.
