I was teaching a class when Crawford walked in.

"Will," he said.

"No, I told you I don't want to," I said. 

"I didn't even ask," Crawford stated. 

"But you were gonna," I said, looking at him. 

"I was gonna what?"

"About to asked me if I could help you with a case," I said, packing up my things.  

I headed out but caught a glimpse of something. I looked over and saw the stag again. I shake my head and walked out.  I walked to my car and headed home. 

~Later

I arrived back home. I got out of my car and was met with a familiar person. 

"Hannibal," I said, seeing him standing on my porch. 

"Will," He smiled.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I came to visit," He said, walking towards me. 

"Oh," I said walking towards him.  I stop right in front of him. 

"Will is everything okay?" He asked.

"Not really," I said, looking kind of at him. 

"Do you want to talk about it?" Hannibal asked. I nodded and headed towards the house. We walked in. I hang up my jacket.

"They must have gotten used to you hanging around," I said noticing the dogs don't bark at Hannibal. 

"Well, I have been staying here as of late," He hummed.

"Which I was gonna asked why do you like staying here?" I looked at him. 

"It cozy here than at my place don't you think," Hannibal stated, leans down. 

"Yeah, I guess," I said, unsure on what he's gonna do. He smiled softly. I was taken back never seen him up close like this. 

"Will," He whispered. 

"Yeah," I whispered back. 

"I want to try something," Hannibal said. 

"Okay, what's that?" I asked. He places a hand on my cheek. I was confused and lean into it slightly. 

"Now relax, Will," he whispered. I relaxed and close my eyes. I felt his breath on my lips.
