It's hot. So Will has decided to stay inside with the dogs while he...

Being out in the stream isn't an option mid-day. He didn't want to get burnt up by the sun.
He was expecting Hannibal to come by, as he said he would. He'd been calling beforehand-
Winston is the first to get up, moving over beside Will as a car starts up the long gravel path to his house.
The rest of the dogs stand and start to bark, alerting Will of someone outside.
Will pats Winston on the head, sighing-
He moves over to the front door, pulling it open so Hannibal can get in.
He shifts away, heading into the kitchen for something to drink and maybe a small snack.
Hannibal-
"Down- down." He commands, the dogs backing off just enough for Hannibal to actually get inside. He's carrying a bag with him.
"You all will have your treat in a moment."
Will emerges with a-
"There's nothing beneficial about eating food that processed, Will." Hannibal says, moving around him to the kitchen counter. He places the bag there, removing a few containers.
"Besides, I brought lunch."
"You didn't say you planned on staying for a bit."
"Be gracious I called." Hannibal opens one of the containers and moves to the dog bowls. He divvies out a portion to each of the dogs. It looks like
The dogs run over to begin their mini feast. It was far more than the treat Hannibal had promised.
"They expect it whenever they hear-
"They associate me with food."
"I think a lot of people do, too."
"More than likely. I also associate people with food. Not in the same manner, but an association nonetheless."
Will rolls his eyes, getting
He takes out another glass for Hannibal as well.
"Cajun stew." Hannibal brings both bowls to the table, putting little garnishes on the top after he-
"Gumbo." Will responds, the word always feeling funny when he says it.
Hannibal hums as he takes a seat.
"Not really something you'd want on a hot day-"
"I was considering your lack of nourishment more than anything."
Will takes a bite. The meat is tender, and
Hannibal pretends not to notice.
"Enjoying your day off?"
"For the most part. Too-
Hannibal smiles. "I assume you use them yourself?"
Will nods, mouth full of food even when he talks.
"That's what they're for."
"Surely you could be commissioned."
"I have another job to worry about."
Will huffs, looking at Hannibal with his slightly hunched shoulders and elbow on the table. "I don't know."
Hannibal eats a bit of the fresh bread brought along with their stew before saying anything else.
"I wouldn't mind a set of-
Will says nothing, just does his best to finish his lunch. After a long silence, he gets up, rinsing the remnants from the bowl. He keeps his back to Hannibal.
He knows Hannibal has been trying to get his-
He startles from his thoughts when he feels Hannibal beside-
"I hope you enjoyed lunch."
"Was good." Will says, looking at the other man.
"You've been quite tense." He suggests. "I imagine having an extra day added to your weekend was much needed."
The dogs have long filed back into the living room for their afternoon naps.
"Is there ever a point
"It's engrained into me."
"It's a defense mechanism."
"Touché." Hannibal smiles, Will analyzing him back made his heart flutter. And maybe it was, getting to know a person before they even speak; it's good way to keep oneself safe.
"Perhaps a longer break from wrapping lures would help."
"Help what?" Will says, not looking. He knows what Hannibal is talking about.
"Your neck and shoulders."
"A part of getting old." That makes Hannibal chortle, and then opportunity knocks. His fingers twitch,
Will tenses even more at first, then slowly drops his shoulders. It was already too late, he can feel himself give into those hands.
"You're nothing but knots."
"It's been.. a stressful week." He mumbles.
Hannibal hums, Will doesn't need to see his face to know how pleased he is. What a prick.
"I should have visited sooner, then."
"No need to lie."
Will leans his head to the side and Hannibal takes the cue to rub the more exposed area. He uses the butt of his palm and fingers.
"I can help you to-
Will opens his eyes again, finding Hannibal’s reflection in the window in front of him. When he looks through it, he can see some storm clouds coming in. Warm weather brings thunder storms. The dogs would be scared, and he needed to grab-
"Will." Hannibal says, leaning down to peek at him over his shoulder.
Will looks at him, then pulls away from his-
Hannibal straightens, his hands smoothing over his button-down. He looks worried, like he did something wrong.
"You might want to head out. There's a storm coming in."
He watches as Will heads outside, giving him a moment before he'd follow him.
The heat blasts him in-
Will moves around him, arms carrying his plant, clothes, and plenty of dog toys.
Hannibal follows him again.
Will plops his dirty clothes into a laundry basket. "I'll find it pretty offensive if every time you show up you're looking to rail me."
Hannibal swallows, his eyes moving away. He had to admit he was hopeful-
"I understand." He replies, brushing his hair back. He takes a seat in one of the living room chairs.
Will rubs his face, pacing the floor. God, Hannibal makes him so conflicted.
He sits in silence, tongue pressing against the tip of one of his fangs while he purses his lips.
Thunder rolls through the sky again, a few of the dogs perking up and huddling by Hannibal's feet.
Winston keeps himself glued to Will.
Will was quite loving, Hannibal knew that. All of these dogs wouldn't be here if he weren't. So why is it that love can't extend to him. To someone who understands.
As silence settles over Will's house, he-
"So- what then?"
"My feelings for you extend far beyond sexual. My intentions today may have included such intimacy, but I was under the impression that you had
"Oh Jesus Christ." Will cuts him off.
He can't deny it, he just knows he's in too deep. Some part of him has started to obsess. He thought about Hannibal all too often.
"If you crave physical touch, I can give that to you, devoid of sex."
He hates how easily Hannibal says these things. How easy it is for him to put his thoughts into words.
He paces again, hands perching on his sides.
Winston whines and Will looks down at him. He kneels, petting the pup before slowly sinking onto his
Hannibal's expression is calm, his head tilting as he witnesses Will talk with them, he asks them questions and pets them. He finds that the dogs ease a lot of emotions for Will.
For a few moments he just experiences this in silence. Will glances at him, but says nothing.
After some time of belly rubs and ear scritches, Will's smiles and quality
"Sometimes that's all I want." He says quietly.
"To share a space."
Hannibal's eyes linger on him, then he nods.
"I can share that sentiment." He says. And then he tries to move away from talking about it, to just do it instead.
"As a boy-
"I would have liked companions like this."
Will listens, finding that endearing. Any kid would benefit from a pet like that. He knows he did.
"These guys live high on the
Hannibal chuckles. He feels one of the dogs nudge his arm and he lifts it to find Winston, who snuggles right up under it.
The taller man knows it's because Will's own emotions have evened out.
He stands shortly after
"Guess it's too late for you to beat the storm." Will says, hinting that he doesn't mind Hannibal staying longer.
"Do you imply you'd like me to stay-
"Don't push it." Will turns, but Hannibal sees the edge of a smile before the man faces away.
He glances at the dogs before stepping over them. How does Will live with so many??
Hannibal peeks into the kitchen, seeing Will with the back door-
Views like that made Will think of playing in the rain when he was little.
Will and Hannibal have found their way to the bed, just laying there. They listen to the raindrops hitting the roof and windows while they watch a movie. On Will's tiny phone screen.
"I find it frustrating when characters panic so needlessly."
"Extreme reactions only lead to one's demise, in that situation." Hannibal says, adjusting his head.
Will doesn't say anything more to bicker. The Grey is a movie Will is quite fond of.
Hannibal would have brought his tablet if he'd known they'd watch-
Will only had an older TV and it wasn't kept in the main room.
As the movie ends Hannibal hums, pleased enough with it. Will sighs and tosses his phone to the side, rolling over and half laying on Hannibal as they talk.
"What'd you think?"
Will purses his lips and nods with his brows raised. He wad glad that Hannibal-
"I don't often watch movies." Hannibal says, pulling Will's attention back to him. "Or television, for that matter."
"Fair enough. Once in a blue moon I like a good
Hannibal lifts a hand and brushes Will's hair back. He was glad that they'd spent time together like this. It seemed Will was often in his world.. so it's nice to be in Will's for once. It was simple, rugged, and comforting.
Despite-
Will huffs, resting his chin on Hannibal’s chest. He hates how the man gets under his-
He thinks about the hours they've spent together, now. He was rude to Hannibal but he still felt justified.
"You're far more relaxed than you had been when I first arrived."
"Yeah." Will mumbles.
"Don't think about it." Hannibal says suddenly. He can see Will's gears turning.
"Nor should you guilt yourself for your own wants and needs."
"It feels like some sort of strange affair."
"You think of work-
"Work is the reason we met."
"Origin is important, but so is the evolution."
"Jesus Christ-" Will mumbles just before he smashes their faces together. Hannibal makes a small sound in surprise, a hand moving around Will.
"Doesn't matter." His lips dominate Hannibal's, and of course the taller man allows it.
Their tongues twirl as their breath mixes. Hannibal nips at Will as he shifts. His arms frame Hannibal's head, a better position.
The rain outside continues, thunder starting up again.
The bed creaks softly with the men's enthusiasm, their bodies dancing-
Will doesn’t care to take his clothes off as he grinds himself into Hannibal’s hip. The friction feels so good. They adjust, Will more on top of Hannibal. He looks so good in that position.
Dry humping was not something Hannibal would typically do, but-
Will looks over his-
His eyes flutter.
"Let me take care of you." Hannibal muses.
Will's fingers-
"I think you deserve something in return for today-" Will says between panting breaths.
Hannibal presses his head back into the-
"This is not transactional-" he huffs.
"No, but its a good justification-"
Will leans, allowing their lips to meet again. Hannibal's tongue runs along the roof of Will's mouth. His hands mess up Hannibal always perfect-
Hannibal's own hand grabs Will's face, holding around his jaw, something about that makes the shorter man become more fervent.
Their noses brush as Will focuses more on the way they feel against each other. Hannibal's pristine cock, hidden under-
"You're going to chafe-" Hannibal's lips brush Will's as he speaks.
"That's fine."
Hannibal moves with Will, nipping at his chin. Will was able to bring him to the edge simply by being.
"I want to hear you-"
Will's hands tense in Hannibal's hair, his face pulling back just enough to make looking at each other more comfortable.
Hannibal groans, his fingers tighten around Will's throat then release. He wants to tear into him, to pull all of his clothes off and worship every inch of that God-like body all over again.
"Will-"
"You're going to make a mess of me-"
Will smirks. "Good."
Will can feel the man twitching under him. He's so pleased with the control he has over the taller man right now. Watching him enjoy himself was special. Hannibal didn't give
The rhythmic sound shifting fabric picks up and so do the panting breaths. Hannibal is the first to give in, his orgasm making him jerk against Will roughly.
Will chuckles at him, following moments after.
They rest their forheads together, a-
They can both feel their own sticky release soaking into their clothes.
A particular loud crack of thunder makes Will look up quickly, checking that nothing hit a nearby tree outside of the window.
Hannibal's lips find his neck
"The heavens are cheering us on-" Hannibal mumbles.
Will huffs a small laugh before pulling himself off of him. He slides just to the side of Hannibal to start undressing.
Hannibal takes the-
Their clothes sit together in a small heap, cum stained briefs on display together.
Will gravitates to Hannibal to warm his nude body and for a moment they lay together that way.
His fingers run along Will's side, traveling the curve of his hip and pulling his leg up.
"Keep it up for me." Hannibal says softly.
Will gasps despite knowing what was coming, he just needs it so badly- it's impossible not to respond. His leg pulls up-
"Good boy." Hannibal praises.
Will glares at him but Hannibal knows what praise does to him. The taller man hushes him, peppering his face with kisses as his fingers work him open.
"How does it feel?"
"Like I missed you."
"Hannibal-" he hears Will mumble, barely audible.
His fingers part, opening him-
Hannibal pulls away, Will almost fighting it before relaxing and rolling onto his back.
"Lubricant." Hannibal says as he sits on his knees.
Hannibal leans, eyes meeting a bottle of whiskey-
"Your choice of position." Hannibal opens the bottle and warms some of the gel n his palm and prepares himself.
Will hums as he lays there, hands touching down
"Is missionary too boring?"
"With you? Not at all, Will." Hannibal smiles at him. He warms more lube up before making sure the other man is good and slick too.
"I just want to see you."
Will feels like royalty. He watches Hannibal's expression, calm and focused, and when the taller man looks up, he smiles.
Will draws his-
"The image of Venus herself, I swear it." He leans, allowing the soft valley of the shorter man's torso guide him. He places kisses that linger on Will's skin like warm sunshine, working his way to to his lips. He presses-
He adjusts himself between their bodies, aligning his length with Will's entrance. As their bodies join, neither man can hold back the collective sigh they let out. It makes them laugh.
Will's hands are holding Hannibal's forearms and when Hannibal looks up from where they connect, he
He didn’t know he would enjoy such simple things with someone. Sex was not a release for him, not with Will. It was more like a ritual where he would give himself to the deity that he so worships.
Will had only-
"Alright-" Will whispers as he opens his eyes. His hands inch up Hannibal's arms to pull him closer. Hannibal obliges and leans over him, feeling Will's legs hook his-
Hannibal rests on his forearms, savoring the warmth of their bodies together. He pulls his hips back and thrusts them forward a few decent times, every time tearing a groan from Will.
Hannibal can't get enough of how those blue eyes glisten, even in the gloomy light.
The shorter man squirms, desperately trying to rut up against Hannibal, especially when he feels the man's body hair tickle him.
His tip is wet, dripping-
As Hannibal notices, he reaches down, squeezing around the end of Will's cock. Will digs his fingers into Hannibal’s shoulders.
"Fuck-"
The taller man begins to stroke him in time with his thrusts.
He really could have given the other man this, far earlier in the-
Hannibal bites at the edge of Will's jaw, his stubble scratching his lips.
Will lays his head to the side, allowing his neck to be open for whatever assault of kisses and-
Any thoughts Will had are silenced by the way Hannibal cares for him. He hadn't pursued anyone else since the first time he'd been vulnerable with him. All of his thoughts about Alana had entirely disappeared.
He doesn't feel like he needs to
He understands himself more and more each moment he spends with the taller man.
Hannibal's lips overtake Will's.
Hannibal's pace is steadily picking up all the while.
The rain outside comes down harder, some of the dogs pacing, anxious over the current situation.
Everything intensifies in that-
Will can't be bothered to tell the dogs to settle down and Hannibal is ignoring anything that isn't Will. The bed frame dents the wall.
Both men's bodies tense, their climax interrupting the symphony of sounds, cutting them all off except for the rain and their labored
Hannibal collapses onto Will with a satisfied whimper.
How lucky he was for lunch to turn into something so passionate.
