When Hannibal asks Will to come to dinner the night before they're to have their fateful meal with Jack, Will thinks maybe it's one more evening of planning, another few hours for Hannibal to be sure that Will is really ready to do what he says he will in regards to Jack's murder. As usual they talk around each other, neither one admitting anything, touching on things just enough to avoid being untruthful, never really saying anything. But the nothing they say is heavy with intent, and the moves they make are like a game for which neither of them knows the rules.

Hannibal asks about Jack, finally, and the question is framed in such a way that Will can easily deflect rather than answer directly. But even as he says what he does, about Jack's fate being preordained, he thinks that there's a part of him that could do what he's told Hannibal he can, could help Hannibal kill him. He doesn't cherish the idea of murdering Jack, doesn't imagine it will give him the rush of power he felt when he put ten bullets into Garrett Jacob Hobbs, when he nearly shot Clark Ingram in the head, when he broke Randal Tier's neck. But he's started to lose sight of where his reality ends and his deception begins.

Letting Hannibal in, giving him permission (and invitation) to be close, has given Will new insight. There's something in the vulnerability they've shared, even if some of it had been manufactured on Will's part, that makes some part of Will loathe to turn on Hannibal as was his initial design. It's not as if he's forgotten what Hannibal did to him, because he hasn't. But he's starting to understand why, to see the flesh and blood behind a man who is most certainly a monster. Hannibal can be cold and calculating and cruel, but he's passionate as well, he has the ability to be broken hearted, and the capacity for love.

Before he'd brought up Jack, Hannibal had talked about an imago, and the more Will considers it, the more he starts to realize that maybe Hannibal is hinting at something. He has in his mind his ideal for Will, a partner, Will thinks, someone he can share his intellect with, his thoughts, dark and light, someone who can and will understand him. But it makes Will wonder if Hannibal's seen through the cracks of Will's deceit, as fine as they are, if he knows betrayal awaits him when Jack arrives tomorrow night. It makes bile rise in the back of Will's throat, not because he's afraid of what Hannibal will do, but rather because the idea of hurting Hannibal in that way squeezes at his heart in a manner he never thought possible.

Will takes a sip of his wine in an attempt to wash the guilt down, but it sticks in his throat, burns in his sinuses. He can hear the intake of Hannibal's breath, ready to speak, but the words that come out of his mouth aren't what Will expects.

"We could disappear now, tonight," Hannibal suggests, his voice low and honest in a way that Will can feel vibrating in his bones. "Feed your dogs, leave a note for Alana, and never see her or Jack again. Almost polite."

There's a long silence then, spun out between them, and Will's instinct is to deflect again, say something that isn't a no or a yes, just words to fill the space. But, in his heart, all he wants is to agree, to leave all of this behind and run away with Hannibal, for better or worse, whatever that means. Jack would see him as a traitor, a liar, Alana would know it was weakness, giving into Hannibal's designs (because she knows exactly what that feels like), but, besides having to leave his dogs, Will has nothing to lose. He doesn't feel loyalty to the FBI, he doesn't have Jack or Alana's complete trust. He doesn't have Hannibal's either, and there's always a chance that Hannibal will kill him as soon as they get away, but Will suddenly understands that he doesn't care. This life, the one he's been pretending to live these few months, is what he wants. He's never felt more alive, has never understood himself better, than when he's with Hannibal.

"Yes," Will says quietly, his eyes meeting Hannibal's as he nods softly, his gaze clear and unburdened for the first time. "Let's go tonight. I want to," he adds, wanting his intentions to be completely understood, nothing disguised by the veil that usually hung between them.

To Hannibal, this unfolding moment is like sitting in a hushed opera house watching a world-class soprano transforming the genius of Mozart into something truly sublime. That he has relinquished control makes it all that much sweeter, allowing him to entirely soak in the experience without attention to the machinations of manipulation. He can witness and experience the beauty of the desire that he and Will share in its purest form, unadulterated by deception, by mistrust, by fear.

Hannibal rests his hand on the back of Will's head as his lover's lips and teeth slip downward. He draws a breath as Will's hands go to his belt and the fastenings of his trousers, his fingers so close to Hannibal's cock. As Will sinks to one knee, baring Hannibal's growing arousal, Hannibal gazes down at him, his hand now cupping Will's cheek, and smiles.

"Shouldn't I be the one on my knees?" he murmurs, his eyes sparkling.

Hannibal sucks in a breath as Will's mouth finds that spot, then tilts back his head, closes his eyes, and sighs the breath out as his lover makes his mark. Hannibal doesn't see it, but he knows knows the shape of it intimately as his skin throbs from Will's attentions. Later that night he would doubtless marvel at the color of the mark, the beautiful bloom of blood beneath the skin, and for long after the bruise fades the shape of it will remain in his mind and soul.

As Will removes the rest of Hannibal's clothing, Hannibal again moves only enough to enable him. He watches his lover's every move, his eyes sparkling, a knowing smile on his face. Everything Will does, every heated breath, every denied touch, is perfect torture, and Hannibal is deeply enjoying every single moment. When Will goes still, eyes locked on Hannibal's, Hannibal's smile widens, his eyes dark, his breath heavy, his pulse fluttering in his carotid. He yearns to reach out, to grab his lover, tear his clothes off, drag him down on the bed and fuck him right there, right then. It would be glorious.

But he stays still, denies himself, because this, what they are doing together, is a million times better.

When Will touches his cheek, breaking the stillness, Hannibal closes his eyes as he takes a single, shivery breath, the simple contact releasing a rush of endorphins. He opens his eyes again, his pupils wide, dark and fathomless, and does not move to return the touch, however much he longs to. He is waiting for some sign from Will, and when Will makes his request, Hannibal's smile deepens. Without breaking his intense gaze, Hannibal lifts his hands to Will's shirt, and slowly undoes them, one by one. Once the shirt is unbuttoned, he draws it open and pulls it off Will's shoulders, down his arms, and lets it fall to the floor. Then, slowly, his eyes always on Will's, he slides to his knees and begins to unbuckle his lover's belt.

Hannibal can indeed smell Will's arousal, the sharp scent of adrenaline and the musky-sweet scent of the precum staining Will's underwear. He is also aware of the tension in Will's body as he holds himself back from, Hannibal is sure, finding satisfaction in Hannibal's mouth. The way that he clenches his fists is particularly telling, and Hannibal can see very clearly, and even feel, his lover grabbing him by the hair and yanking him forward, holding Hannibal's head in place as Will fucked his mouth mercilessly. It's an animalistic image, and Hannibal's own cock throbs with pleasure at the thought.

His eyes still looking up into Will's, he slows the motions of his hands, unbuckling Will's belt, then unbuttoning his trousers, then dragging down the zipper, all with torturous slowness, as he watches his lover's body react to desire denied. Next the shoes, the socks, then the trousers and underwear pulled down in one smooth, slow motion. Hannibal takes just a moment to sit back and look at his beautiful Will, before he moves forward, his mouth coming as close as possible to Will's cock without actually touching it with any more than heated breath. He lifts his eyes again to Will's, and raises one eyebrow, daring him to give in, either to order Hannibal to fellate him or to use those strong hands and take what he wants.

Every minute detail of Will's agony is precious in Hannibal's eyes, and every tremble, every rough gasp, every shaking touch, is written into Hannibal's memory so that years from now he will be able to unroll the memory like a scroll and pore over it at his leisure. When Will slips his thumbs into Hannibal's mouth, Hannibal's smile deepens as he notes the implied dominance tangled beautifully in trust. It's like a lion tamer placing his head into the lion's mouth. All the powerful lion needs to do is snap those mighty jaws on the man's foolish neck. Will is far from uninformed on what a dangerous creature Hannibal is. All Hannibal has to do is bite down, through skin and muscle and sinew and tendons and cartilage and bone, crunch it all up like a drowned songbird. Will's trust that he won't is a precious thing in and of itself.

And then Will takes the step both he and Hannibal long for, and gives the order Hannibal had challenged him to. Hannibal's eyes sparkle dangerously as he extends his tongue, and slowly laps the shiny pearl of precum from the tip of Will's cock. Then he leans in, taking Will in his mouth all the way, the reflexes of his throat entirely under his control. And here Hannibal is again exquisitely dangerous, the lion with the tamer's head in his mouth. One chomp and he could sever his lover's cock and drink the blood that would come spurting from the wound. It's a glorious image, and Hannibal wonders if Will thinks of it as well. He bites down, just a little right at the base, to remind Will of what he risks, of what Hannibal surrenders. Then he eases up on the pressure with his teeth, and instead pulls back, stroking Will's length with his lips and tongue.

That sob is a thing of incredible beauty, Will so overcome by pleasure that he was unable to hold it back, and Hannibal remembers it, and makes a mental note to draw more sobs out of his lover, from now until the moment they are parted, likely by the death of one or both of them. Then Will thrusts, and it is so perfect that Hannibal hums in pleasure, the corners of his mouth, already stretched out around the base of his lover's cock, draw back just a little more. He raises his hands and grips Will's buttocks. Much like Will's initial grip on Hannibal's hair, the intention is not to control. Rather it is an affirmation, that what Will is doing is perfect, that Hannibal is continuing to surrender to his lover's motions.

Hannibal's own cock is throbbing, aching between his legs, untended, and there is certainly the strong temptation to let one of his hands drop down so he can touch himself, find some release from the sweet agony. But he does not, waiting to see what Will shall do, finding pleasure in allowing his lover that control.

Will's cock is deep enough in Hannibal's throat that another, less talented man might gag. Instead, Hannibal swallows, his tongue and throat muscles rippling along Will's length. Any further and Will may cut off Hannibal's airways, which has its own enticements. Hannibal looks up at Will, waiting, challenging.

It's a moment of incredible trust between them, each of them the lion tamer, each of them the lion. Will could asphyxiate Hannibal, hold him there until his lips turn blue, until he loses consciousness, while at the same time, Hannibal could bite down, shear through flesh, corpora cavernosa, corpus spongiosum. The sudden blood loss would likely cause his lover to collapse, at which point Hannibal could easily move on to the femoral artery. The thought of either possibility is achingly arousing, and Hannibal reflects, even as his hands begin to tremble, as tears come unbidden to his slightly bulging eyes, how curious it is that for most, love depends on the safety the parties find in each other. Not so with them. As Hannibal's vision begins to grey at the edges, he knows that he loves Will fiercely precisely because he knows that Will is perfectly capable, in every way, of ending his life. And because Will knows the opposite to be true, and his heart is likewise aflame with that knowledge.

Then Will's cock is out of his mouth, and Hannibal sags slightly as his lungs reflexively expand to suck in as much oxygen as possible. he leans forward and rests his forehead on Will's hip, his hands again settling lightly on Will's ass. He takes a couple breaths, enjoying the feeling of oxygen being reintroduced into his blood, his muscles, his brain. It's intoxicating, an aphrodisiac well known in medical literature, and one that makes Hannibal remember the night that Will's cat's paw hanged him. He remembers that first gasp after his rescue, the knowledge flooding in that Will had tried to kill him, and feeling only a deepened ardor for his friend.

He lifts his head to meet Will's eyes, his own burning with love infused with lust. His lips part slightly, and without his eyes leaving Will's he slowly brushes them back and forth against the head of Will's cock, waiting for his next move.

Hannibal ponders how this moment with Will illuminates that it is an intimate thing to entrust someone with one's life, but much more so to entrust someone with one's death. While he has a well-defined sense of self-preservation, one that has kept him alive and free all these years, he is also of the firm belief that death can be profoudly beautiful, even his own. Before Will, he has never known someone he would trust so completely with such a precious responsibility as the aesthetics of his own conclusion. He may yet be the one to end Will's life, or perhaps they will end each other at the same time. Regardless, Hannibal has full faith that his lover would give him the perfect end, should that be how fate dictates they be parted.

Hannibal rises as bidden, and nods, stepping to the bed. He moves the bag with their purchases to the night table and takes out the lubricant, discarding the packaging and making sure it is ready for when it is needed. Then he turns and raises his eyebrows, questioning and playful.

"How do you wish me to position myself?"
