After The Fall - Hannigram

DeLuca

Will awoke a couple of hours later lying on top of the linen sheets with the French doors still wide open. Will's eyes fluttered adjusting to the sunset light coming in, he stretched as he sat upright on the bed. His ears pricked up as he could hear Hannibal down stairs as he glanced at his watch. It was 6pm in the evening. He picked his phone up that lay on the wooden bedside table. There was a message from Hannibal. *Afternoon, hope you slept well. When you are ready, come downstairs. H.L* Will quickly came to the realisation that Hannibal was taking him out tonight. He sprung up off of the bed and undone his suitcase that had been placed on the floor. He flicked through his many t-shirts and plaid shirts, he picked out a dark blue navy shirt and black jeans. He put them on and quickly took a look in the mirror, he brushed his hair out of his blue eyes and tucked his hair behind his ears before heading downstairs.

Hannibal was in the kitchen cleaning up. Will peered around the corner just making enough noise for Hannibal's head to turn. Hannibal paused ever so slightly and looked Will up and down. Will knew the doctor was looking at him and shyly placed his head down with a smile and walked forward. Hannibal realised that he was staring at the light haired man and snapped out of it. "You look... Handsome" Hannibal said with slight hesitation. Hannibal stood there in a more casual look that normal. He had a white shirt on with the top button undone, and black dress trousers on. His hair fell in front of his eyes as he started pouring the two of them a glass of red wine. Will walked up to the doctor as he handed him the glass. "So, where are we going tonight?" Will asked taking a walk back to the sofa. Hannibal sat facing Will with one hand holding the glass of wine and the other on the top edge of the sofa. "Just a little place, 5 minute walk from here." Hannibal smiled as he sipped the wine. The two men drank their glass of wine and Hannibal took the glasses and placed them back into the kitchen before leaving for the night.

Hannibal and Will started walking down the small streets and pathways to get to the little restaurant. The sun had gone down and the sky was littered with stars. Everywhere was lit with lights and the small mumblings of the town made Will feel comfortable. Their shoulders nearly touching as they gave each other a smile each time they caught the others gaze. They came to a little restaurant down one of the main streets in Florence. "It's very pretty" Will said looking at the building. Hannibal lead them both inside holding the door for Will as they walked in. They were both greeted with a waiter, "Reservation for DeLuca" Hannibal said in a confident voice smiling at the waiter. "Ah DeLuca, welcome back..." The two men follow the waiter to their table. "Will this do alright for you Sir?" The waiter stepped back and let Will and Hannibal sit down at a candle lit table. "Yes, delightful, thank you." Hannibal said as the waiter handed them their menus and walked away. "DeLuca..." Will muttered while studying the menu. Hannibal looked up at him, "Jose DeLuca. It's the name the house is under and the name on my passport." Hannibal looked back down at the menu. "I like it." Will smiled not looking up from the menu, Hannibal smirked as they ordered their food and drinks.

A couple of hours later the restaurant was closing and Will had had a little to much to drink. "DeLuca... De Luca, DeLuca" Will whispered at Hannibal across from the table whilst smiling and finishing the last of his whisky. "We need to get you home." Hannibal said firmly but calmly at the same time. The waiter came over with the bill and Hannibal got the cash out and gave the gentleman a tip. "Thank you, hope you two have a lovely evening." The waiter gave a final smile and nod to Hannibal. "Did he think we where a couple?..." Will said drunkenly as he tried standing up with much grace as possible. As they were walking out of the door Will nearly tripped over and Hannibal grabbed Will's hand and arm to steady him. "Well... they will defiantly think it now!" Will giggled as he held back onto the doctor. Both the men started walking back home, "Everything is so pretty here Hannibal, why haven't you taken me here before?" Will mumbled but didn't let him reply, " Wait, don't worry, I know." Will looked at Hannibal. Hannibal squeezed Will's hand, as all that mattered was that they where there together now.

Hannibal managed to get Will up the stairs by holding on to him and through the front door. Hannibal shut the door behind him and wasn't even able to turn around before Will had pinned him up against the door landing kisses all over the doctors face. As much as Hannibal liked where this was going, he needed to get Will to bed. Will took a breath " Please Hannibal." Will begged as the doctor pulled away luring Will to his bedroom. "Okay, follow me." Hannibal said leading Will up the spiral stair case. As if the stairs to the front door was bad enough. Both men got up the stairs and Hannibal started to undo Will's shirt. Will stood still allowing Hannibal to do so. "Get on the bed, I will be back in a minute." Hannibal smiled giving Will a kiss on the forehead. Will flopped onto the bed and within seconds he was fast asleep. Hannibal pulled the covers over him, "We have work to do tomorrow my love" Hannibal whispered into Will's ear before placing a final kiss on his cheek.
