[ Will hesitates a moment before closing the book he was reading and moving it off his chest to place it on the table. His arms fold across his chest and Winston shifts in his sleep, sniffing the air before letting out a whuff. Will finds himself doing the same, the taste of Hannibal's delight making him feel heady and warm. He expected it, of course, but it still feels nice against his mind, like a soothing balm over a nuisance of an itch. He finds his body relaxing soon after, the tension he hadn't noticed dripping away like honey.
He watches Hannibal then without shame, keeps his eyes on him as he cuts his heart and takes a bite, as he savors each taste. Will had some earlier and he had to admit, the meat was delicious -- fresh and warm and dripping juices on his tongue. The flavors burst as they melted and he felt an overwhelming urge to thank Hannibal in any way he could for being such an excellent chef. He was almost jealous, for a moment, that he hadn't helped Hannibal acquire the meat -- but they'll have time. There will always be time. ]
Only Annabeth and that boy was your doing, right? Percy's not going to come back from that, you know. He really loved her.
[ Idly, Will realizes, he's going to have to stay away from Percy for a while. It makes him sad, he enjoyed their conversations but he knows better than to put himself in the path of a teenage boy that ruined. He learned from Abigail, he won't risk it again. He has Hannibal and that's frankly enough for him. ]
Were you curious? To see what would happen, to love like that, if you broke it?
