Hannigram

Chapter 29

Will didn't really like living on his own. His old house made noises which scared him in the middle of the night but he knew he couldn't go back. He didn't want to get Hannibal hurt agian, he flet giulty for what had happened and had decided to stay away from any contact with him. it hurt him but he knew it was for the best,

Will had left his dogs with the Lecters because he knew they would be safe and cared for in a way that Will couldn't afford on his own but he still visited and took them out every afternoon after school so he could keep them happy. Everytime he would pik them up, he wouldn't step into the house. He wanted to but he still couldn't see Hannibal, and he dropped them off aginabout two hours later, once agian not entering the buiding. 

Hannibal knew what Will was trying to doand wished he wouldnt. he would never once pin what Lucas had done on Will but he still didnt understand. Hannibal saw Will in school often but ever since the incident, Will had moved further away from Hannibal during lessons and form time and he wasn't sure where he went during his breaks and free periods. He has tried so hard to follow him and get his attention but Will lwas havng none of it and still mangaed to slip away from hannibal to dissaprear again. 

It was nearing Christmas and Hannibal had planned to confront Will and demand that they talk. He just wasn't sure when he would do this. Will and hannibal both shared a last period History lesson the next day so Hannibal had decided tht he would grab him and drag him somewhere s they could talk. As he drove home, Hannibal decided to stop by Wills house to see what was going on in there and from hat he could see though the window, Will was trying to move a bed into the living room. It confused Hannibal but he did nothing to question the boy as he retreated bakc to his car. If he didnt cathc Will tomorrow at school, he would have to go to his house and talk to him there. Something he hoped he wouldn't have to resort to. 

They day dragged for Hannibal, he was nervous about confronting Will but he had to know why Will blamed himself, and make sure that he knows it wasnt his fault. As it got into late afternoon nearer the end of school it started to rain heavily and Hannibal sat listening to the soft pitter of rain against his window joined with the scratches of pens as people took notes about the documentary they were watching. He coudn't concentrate. He was thinking about how he was going to talk to Will and what Will would do. 

As soon as the bell rang Hannibal through his stuff into the bag and slung it on his bag just as Will left the classroom. he followed behind him with haste, pushing through the other people in the corridors. As Hannibal got closer to Will , he reached to him grabbing him and yanking him back while dragging him into the empty classroom next to them. "What the hell, Hannibal?!" Will exclaimed in shock. Hannibal glared at him "What do you mean 'what the hell'" he nearly shouted. "I have been trying to talk to you for months and now i have to physically grab you to get your attention!" Will sighed, not showing any emotion towards Hannibal. Hannibal's gaze softened as he wiped his face "Why won't you talk to me?" Hannibal asked Will. Will leant against the table and folded his arms. " Because I know you know that i am going to be a monster who hurts people who are close to me". As Will spoke, Hannibal noticed no form of anger or sadness in his voice. He was just monotone. 

"Will." said Hannibal "That's not true, I love you"Will scoffed and looked to the side before returning his eyes back to Hannibal "You know it is true Hannibal. I mean look at my father" Will stood from the table. Hannibal stepped up, so he was directly in front of Will and placed a hand on each side of his face. "No you aren't, Will. You never will be" Hannibal looked in his eyes searching for something, anything to show that Will believed him but he found nothing.
