It isn't far off from what Will expects, using cooking oil in place of commercial lubricant, and Will wonders idly if the Greeks really used olive oil for this purpose in the past. It seems reasonable enough, but Will doesn't have enough knowledge of the history of homosexuality to know for certain (though he has a feeling Hannibal probably does know, and he finds the concept of Hannibal researching such a thing not a little intriguing).
It brings back a recent conversation they had in Hannibal's office, about Achilles and Patroclus, Hannibal having recreated an image of the men, Achilles mourning Patroclus's death. It had rung very clearly to Will even at the time, the parallels between the ancient story and their own, Hannibal's and Will's, Will having been sacrificed as he had been made to wear Hannibal's mask. At them time Will's end had only been a few weeks of incarceration, but the tone had suggested a bit of a threat, or perhaps a promise, for the future,
The implication of Achille's and Patroclus having been lovers had been barely veiled, and if Hannibal had meant to leave Will to die in his stead, as it were, Will would have most likely resented him for it. As it is now, the idea of laying down his life for Hannibal's is only unappealing in that Will wants and needs more time in order to live beside Hannibal instead. And, if he can have his way, he'd prefer Hannibal's death to be by his own hand (and his own by Hannibal's in return).
But this moment isn't about death, at least aside from the little deaths they'll surely experience when they find their mutual climax. Will wants nothing more than to continue to be Hannibal's lover, and having sex in this way – in Hannibal's kitchen, marrying the concepts of Greek lore and Hannibal's passion for unorthodox culinary arts – is immensely appealing.
Leaning up heavily into Hannibal's kiss, Will presses in deep, letting Hannibal feel his enthusiasm, not pulling back until Hannibal's breath catches, leaving him slightly winded. "Take me to your kitchen," Will says, licking his kiss bruised lips and meeting Hannibal's dark eyes with his own. He knows this is only their first journey to Hannibal's domain, a small taste of what's to come, and Will's mouth is absolutely watering for it.
