How Did We Not See It?

{⚠DISCONTINUED⚠}

--Hannibal x Reader--

Doctor Lector returns from the kitchen holding two platters on his right arm and one in his left hand. "Steak au poivre vert. A simple dish of medium rare steak simmered in and topped with green pepper sauce with a side of freshly picked cherry tomatoes. I'm sorry for the wait." I smile brighter at the dish as he pours me and Will a cup of red wine. "There's no need to apologize, Hannibal." Will assured Doctor Lector as he finally speaks up. "It looks incredible!" I tell him honestly, causing Doctor Lector to smile sweetly. "I'd like to hope that it tastes that way too." Chuckling lightly we both smile and dig in. "You know," I start, chuckling lightly to myself, "I find it quite humorous that your name and the word "cannibal" are one letter off!" Doctor Lector freezes for a moment, Will also doing the same. "Oh, I'm sorry. Was that not okay?" I ask Will more than Doctor Lector. Will shakes his head lightly. "Oh, okay! I'm sorry Doctor, that's my bad." The silence that only my voice clashed with was shattered with his own. "No, no, it's quite alright." I shyly lower my head in shame. "I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned that." Another second of silence washes over us. "Anyway, let's talk about something more interesting, shall we?"
