Hannibal sees it coming just a fraction of a second before Will lunges, so he is able after another fraction of a second to kiss Will back. Time seems to slow as he absorbs the heat and hunger of Will's lips, this last bit of passionate contact, before Will has to pull away. With a smile on his face he shifts away from Will, putting some distance between them, not so much as a reproach for the kiss as much as an assurance that anything the taxi driver might possibly have seen is entirely negated by their positions upon his arrival and closer inspection.
The taxi driver pops the trunk and gets out to put their bags inside before Hannibal and Will slide into the back seat and they're on their way. It's dark, and the driver is thankfully not chatty, so Hannibal sits silently, gazing calmly out the window, acting as if he and Will are barely acquaintances, perhaps co-workers on their way to a conference sharing a cab for cost purposes.
Yet in the dark he slowly moves his hand closer toward Will, to slowly for it to be noticed, wondering if Will is doing the same thing without either of them looking.
