Chapter Text
“Do you think about having sex with me?”
The question was unexpected and unprompted. However, Will was more suprised when it came out of his own mouth than Hannibal was that he asked it.
“I do.” With his usual monotone voice, his firm expression not breaking.
Will noticeably swallowed his own saliva, the eye contact becoming more unbearable than usual. But he wasn’t going to let him know just how uncomfortable he was, he had too much curiosity for that.
“Often?” It came out quieter and deeper than he intended, and he mentally cursed himself.
“Daily.” His steady gaze not breaking, despite the meaning behind his words.
At this point, Will felt there was no going back in the conversation, possibly not even in their relationship.
The second his next words came out of his mouth he regretted them.
“Who’s being penetrated?” The flush rising to his cheeks despite him willing it not to.
Hannibal’s expression shifted into one of amusement, his eyes crinkling and a small smirk rising in the corner of his lips.
For some reason, this agitated Will.
“What do you find so funny? It was a serious question.” He frowned, his lips curling downward and his eyebrows furrowing.
“You are right, I apologize.” The tone he used slightly agitated Will, but before he could express this, Hannibal continued, his serious expression returning.
“I penetrate you.”
The heat rose back to Wills face, and embarrassingly somewhere else. His eyes darted away from Hannibal’s, knowing he could read him like a book. His straight expression only adding to the humiliation.
Will licked his lips, eyes darting back. “If you’ve felt this way, why haven’t you said anything?” His tone slightly accusatory.
This time Hannibal smiled with his eyes but not his lips. “Would you have reciprocated if I told you I wanted to engage in intercourse with you?” His shifted, uncrossing his legs and closing some of the gap between them.
Will was silent for a moment, losing eye contact again while trying to come up with something to say. He shifted slightly backwards. Hannibals straightforward way of saying things made him uncomfortable.
He wet his lips. “I might have.” His tone came out accusatory again, though this time not on purpose.
Hannibal paused and Will jumped in before he could speak. Another thing he would probably regret.
“If I had asked, would you have had sex with me?”
Hannibal didn’t hesitate. “I would have.” His eyes not faltering.
“How?”
This caused another grin to pop up in Hannibal’s eyes, this one more dangerous than the last.
“Roughly”
And before Will could respond, he continued.
“I would have taken you slowly and deliberately” he paused. “I’ve thought about taking you on my desk, or in the very chair you’re sitting on.”
Will met his eyes, and they sat there for what felt like hours, but was closer to seconds.
“And if I asked you now?”
“I’d devour you.”
