Helping Will Graham

Chapter 6

Hannibal drove Will to the tailors for his suit. They didn't really engage in any conversation as hannibal was mentally preparing to hunt a prey. He could feel wills tense nature

He still felt a stab of jeleousy as will tried on his new suit. It perfectly fitted his lean but slightly muscular body.

Will looked towards him in approval and as much as hannibal felt bitterness he couldn't help but smile at his beloved .

They left the tailors and hannibal drove Will to the restaurant.

"How will you get home the willium?"

Will chuckled "I was hoping that my date will drop me home."

Hannibal clenched the steering wheel as he looked straight forward the road.

"We are here will ." He said looking towards willium who looked nervous and pale.

"I.........he said that he would be late. Would ......you wait in with me ."

'Why why is the Lord testing me . Not only am I leading him towards other person I am gonna have to wait with him too.'

But there was no resisting those blue eyes so hannibal silently accepted his fate and nodded.

They entered the restaurant and suddenly he felt wills arms around his waist. Bewildered he looked at will who looked away pinkish in face as he half leaded and half dragged hannibal to the reserved table.

"I.....will what are you doing?" Hannibal asked as will drew out a chair and practically shoved him into the chair.

"Stop making a scean ." Will chided

"What .......I am making a scean?"
Just then a couple of people enterd the restaurant with handfull of flowers.

Upon closer observation he saw they were Beverly and Brian with orchids , roses and lilacs. Beverly looked cheekily at will and winked towards hannibal.

Hannibal was in verge of cardiac arrest when will grabbed his hand

"You still haven't figured it out ?"

Hsnnibal looked at him with wide eyes

"Well someone thought you had figured it out ."Will looked at Beverly and Brian as they shrugged and placed the flowers and left.
Will sighed "Well.........the thing is.......it was you all along. Hannibal I.......I like you. But if you don't reciprocate the feeling then it's fine I........"

Will said slowly getting up to leave when hannibal finally regained his senses.

"No your not boy. "He said partially pulling will down.

"You planned all these???" Hannibal asked

Will nodded smiling
"I didn't know what you liked so I decided that you could try to plan everything based on your taste."

He said pointing towards the flowers and his clothes.

Hannibal couldn't beleive that he was fooled and manipulated by the man before him and was planning his own murder the whole week.

"My clever boy." He said holding wills hands. They perfectly completed each other. Both were hunters and knew what they wanted.
As the night progressed hannibal couldn't help but ask

"What about detective Fred?"

Will looked up from his plate.
"Wht about him ."

"I thought that he ......and you ......."

Will laughed out "me and Fred?? No way. "

"Then what were you talking about yesterday."

"You think orchids and lilacs grow around in these areas In this time of the year?? It was a relief that Fred had a sister who is a florist. She supplied these flowers. "

Will stopped mid way " your not mad about it are you ."

"Of course not. Unless you let me take you out for another date tomorrow."

Hannibal replied placing a kiss on wills hand with a smudged grin
