"Good morning...please come in"

A normal day the sun is up shining against the snow that fell last night. Hannibal gets up it of bed and walks down to the kitchen too see y/n holding a bowl mixing something

"hey! No what are you doing!?" Hannibal says rushing over to her "m-making breakfast." Y/n replies "no you are going to pop open a stitch I'll make breakfast." He says.

Y/n sighs as the bowl is taken away from her and set on the counter he carefully takes her wrists in his hands turning them face up seeing the stitches checking to see if any popped open.

He sighs a relief as she wasn't hurt further "did you want to help me with breakfast instead of pushing me away from it?" She asks. Hannibal looks up at her placing his hand on her cheek, he nods she smiles and nods.

Past

"So the nightmares...have they gotten worse?" Hannibal asks a woman with dark black hair that goes down to the calves, even when she has it in a braid, which is her hair style of choice, she wears a white blouse making her already pale skin even paler, black skinny jeans and black red bottomed heels .

"Yes" the woman says twisting the wedding ring that resides on her finger.

"And the sleep walking? Has that stopped." "No"
Hannibal sighs "Anna you need to talk not just yes or no" he says writing in his book. "A traumatic experience like the one you've had is hard to get over." He says "you don't seem effected." She says "well I wasn't there I didn't witness it.." he says writing in his book again.

"How is y/n?" He asks not looking up. Anna goes quiet and sinks into her chair "Anna?" Hannibal says looking up at her. "Her father is back in town. I saw him at the market the other day, he was ordering meat." She says "has he seen y/n?" Hannibal salsa "no...but I overheard him and the butcher that he's going to visit his daughter so I imagine by now he has." She says

"Are you not going to stop him?" Hannibal asks her she looks up from fiddling with her ring. "She's very fragile...y/n I don't know how to change that in her." she replies "well she always has been she carry's a lot of emotion that's not her fault...she on the spectrum correct?" He asks

Anna nods "she can feel what others are feeling...I think that's pretty cool...but it also means she always in pain... mediallayon isn't a place where people are happy." She says to him "then move you don't live together anymore." He asks "no... I can't do that to her....she has one friend there." She replies "who?" Hannibal asks wondering if y/' really did make a friend as her timid and mysterious nature sometime prohibits it. "...you." Anna replies

"Anna....how is y/n?" Hannibal asks about her daughter once more ask she didn't give him the answer he wanted "she's fragile always has been....she fine."

Hannibal leads Anna out the door as he sees jack "Hannibal." He says "Jack what are you doing here?" "There's a call." He says "let me get my coat." Hannibal responds.

"Wow." Hannibal says looking at the 45 bodies strung up like Christmas lights "all the bodies are in versions stages of decay going from a skeleton to the newest one of last night." Jack says "well Christmas lights are different colors." Hannibal says "you're saying this guy was making Christmas decor." Beverly says "yes" "...merry Christmas" Jack says.

Hannibal walks to his car "would you coming back so you hear the autopsy?" "No problem Jack but I don't have a prior engagement to attend to first." He says "oh yes of course." Jack replies and steps back not to get accidentally run over by the doctor, who gets in his car and drives off.

Hannibal walks up to the porch of modern home looking around he opens the top of a fake mushroom and takes the spare key and opens the door "y/n?" He calls through the minimalist living room setting his coat down on the couch arm. Looking over he notices the small statue turned ever so slightly the wrong way and tilts it back into place

"Hann? Is that you?" Y/n replies using the well known nickname they share. Hannibal walks into the kitchen where y/n is making sweet treats
"Hm? And what items are you making today?" He says y/n smile "macaroons, come I need you to taste something for me." She says

Hannibal nods and walks over to y/n she takes a small spoon of frosting and gives it to Hannibal who eats it.

"Mmm...your bakery never ceases to amaze me." "And I you with your cutlery" she says "delicious" he says. Y/n smiles "may I join you? Would you like help?" He asks her she smiles and nods "the blue piping back please. You can do the pink ones." She says he nods

"Your mother came in for a session today...she talked a little about you." Hannibal says "hmm.." "how are you feeling today?" She asks him "well I cannot lie to you so...curious there is a murder the killer strung his bodies up light lights." Hannibal says y/n places her hand on his arm where the sleeve is rolled up "what?" He asks "you're hungry." She says and smiles. Hannibal chuckles and nods.

Y/n walks to her fridge and takes out a rack of cupcakes "here." She says and walks over to him he takes one perfectly frosted pink cupcake. "Thank you" he says "Hannibal." Y/n says "hm?" He asks "stay...please. I know you don't want to go back..." she says to him "and I know you don't want to stay here you changed the subject when I mentioned your mother..she will be coming to visit. So..." he says to her

Y/n looks down piping frosting into the macaroons "please. Join me at my home." He says to her y/n looks up at him as she expected a different answer "I haven't made you dinner in a while?" He says to her "yeah...okay"she says and smiles Hannibal nods and takes a bite of the cupcake.
