What if for the hannibal family, the reader (their s/o,) comes in on them killing someone, but when one of the family members confronts them about it (thinking they're going to have to kill them because they think they're going to call the police) they say "what do you mean? I didn't see anything." With an innocent smile (also p.s. listen to the song hit it by snow Wife, remember she made American horror story-IT'S SO GOOD TOO)

You were called at the nearby police precinct to testify against a member of the Hannibal family. But, things didn’t go as planned for the policemen when you found yourself in the interrogation room and they asked you the question:

"Do you know this man ?"

Morgan Hannibal Lecter :

The photograph was unmistakably a picture of Morgan. You smiled tenderly at the image of your beloved for a second before your smile vanished and you shrugged.

"Never saw that man in my life." You then pushed the photograph back to the officers who looked at each other with a frown.

"But, you said on the phone that…" One of them started—but you quickly cut him off.

"It was a mistake. I have never seen that man in my life."

One of the officers groaned while the other smiled.

"Come on, miss/sir. He cannot hurt you in here. You can speak freely."

You restrained a laugh. If you were to ever open your mouth, no prison would be enough to protect you from Morgan’s wrath. But even without fear, you would never betray Morgan. Because you loved him. But, the officers before you couldn’t possibly understand. Who even could ? Morgan was your…everything.

"I have nothing else to say…" You said with a polite smile. "I was wrong. Sorry for wasting your time."

A few minutes later :

You went out of the precinct and started walking away. But before you could turn at the corner, two arms wrapped around you from behind and you felt familiar lips on your neck.

"Morgan. You didn’t have to come pick me up. I could have—"

Before you could finish that sentence, his lips were on yours. He kissed you for a while before smiling and kissing your hands next and holding them against his chest.

"I know, my love. I wanted to…Now, come on. Let’s go home."

Kevin Hannibal Lecter:

Kevin was a wanted fugitive, his face had ran on TV for years and you knew better than to ask what had really happened. You doubted it would your opinion on him—but you loved him too much to say anything.

Until one day, his past came knocking at your door.

Two FBI agents were standing there and asked you to follow them. You frowned, but complied nonetheless. You were then brought to the precinct and interrogated there.

"Do you know this man ?" You looked at the picture of Kevin and but back a laugh. They clearly hadn’t taken his good side.

"Nope. Never seen that guy in my life." You replied confidently and one of the agents frowned.

"Are you sure ? Could you take another look, please ? That man is responsible for the deaths of many people. It would really be great to catch him before he makes another victim…"

You almost snorted. What did you look like ? A snitch ? An idiot ? Was it written 'community service' on your forehead ? Were they expecting you to do their job ?

"Nah. Ain’t never seen that bastard in my life. Hope you catch him though. All my good wishes to you…" And with that, you were gone.

On your way back home, you sat down on a bench and sighed. Deep down, you knew it was wrong and that Kevin was probably not a good guy and deserved to rot in jail…But, you couldn’t. You simply couldn’t set yourself on condemning him. Because, you loved him.

You were momentarily startled when someone suddenly sat down next to you and hugged you tightly.

"I knew it ! I knew that the family was wrong to doubt you ! Come here, babe."

Kevin kissed you deeply and you were momentarily stunned by his eagerness before responding in kind.

Yeah…You knew he wasn’t a good guy. But, honestly ? Did it really matter ? He was good to you.

Peter Hannibal Lecter :

When the agents showed you Peter’s picture, you almost broke face as you noticed his innocent carefree smile. He seemed so happy. Such a lovely picture…You wished he could still smile at you like this. But, his smile wasn’t the same now…You held back your tears as you looked up at the agents.

"I am sorry. Who is this ?"

The agents looked at each other before sighing.

"We received a call telling us that this individual has been spotted around your neighbourhood not too long ago. Have you seen him recently ?"

You leaned forward and pretended to think about it before offering an apologetic smile to the officers. Peter was not someone you could snitch on. He was your precious little man and you would never betray him.

"No, sir. I am afraid I have never seen this man before…"

The agents didn’t seem to really believe you, but they had no reason to keep you and they had many other neighbours to interrogate. But, there was something about your smile that made them suspicious of you. They suspected that your innocence was but a façade…But, they finally released you.

You went back home and the moment the door was closed, you felt his arms wrap around you and pin you to the door.

"P-Peter ?" You asked. He didn’t answer. He only bent down and picked you up before kissing you passionately. His family had warned him, told him you would betray him at the first opportunity. They had told him you didn’t really love him. But, here you were…back into his arms. And now, he was certain you were loyal to him and he couldn’t wait to show you how much he loved you.

"I am never letting you out of my sight again."

Hannibal Jr. Lecter :

There was no questioning your loyalty to Hannibal Jr. Lecter. No one would be foolish enough to attack him anyway. He had them all in the palm of his hand. But, what you both hadn’t expected was for the police department to go after you. They couldn’t go after the Hannibal family, but they could go after you. You had more than once helped Hannibal Jr. get rid of the bodies and one time…You were caught.

You both tried to run. But, there was nowhere to run. You were cornered on a pier and with no way out. You both knew you going to get caught and that one of you were gonna take the fall.

"This is it, my love."

He said before pulling you into a tight hug and kissing the top of your head. He could see the police cars surrounding the both of you and suddenly held you in a head lock with a knife against your throat. Anyone else would take it as betraying, but not you. You knew there were no other way.

"…I would die for you." You said and looked him in the eyes with nothing but pure adoration in your gaze.

"I know, my darling. I know." He replied before kissing your temple lovingly as the sound of police sirens and angry shouts started blaring around you. But, you could only see or hear Hannibal as he said.

"I love you."

And in a matter of seconds, he had pushed you out of the way and into the water.

"NOOOO !" You screamed and tried to get back to him, but it was too late. Bullets started flying and before you knew it, he was on the ground. You swam as fast as you possibly could and he started crawling towards you with his hand outstretched as you quickly grabbed it.

"Why, my love ? Why ?" You asked—your tears mixing with the salty water slowly rolling down your cheeks—and he replied with a bloody smile.

"I had to. I cannot let you pay for my crimes. I won’t let another loved one be punished for my sake. I have lost…too much."

He had lost all his past lovers. For once, Hannibal Jr. would save one instead of protecting himself or his so-called family honour. And even as he was grabbed by the police and he was dragged away from you. Even as you screamed and shouted for them to let him go, he was smiling. At least…He had finally managed to save one.

Hannibal Sr. Lecter :

You denied all of the agents’ calls. You knew what would happen to you. You didn’t even show up when they asked you to come to the precinct. And even the idea of testifying against Hannibal Sr. in Court made your legs wobble in fear.

You couldn’t do it.

Finally, on the day of the trial, one of the FBI agents came to his cell and asked.

"We called. We searched. We tried everything to make Mr./Mrs. L/N testify against you. But, so far no luck. She/He is simply TERRIFIED of you. What have you done to them, you sadistic fuck ?"

Hannibal Sr. only smirked knowingly as he licked his thumb to change pages in his book before shrugging.

"You thought she/he would betray me ? Oh poor naive FBI agent." Hannibal Sr. grinned before looking up at the FBI agent with a knowing gleam in his eyes. "My wife/husband is no snitch. I trained her/him better than that."

True devotion. He had spent years drilling his values into your skull. You wouldn’t break, because Hannibal Sr. had broken you first. It was the reason you were his spouse. He had educated and tamed you so well that the sole notion of conscience had been stripped away from you. You lived for him. You breathed for him. And he knew that you had become so dependent on him that you would NEVER betray him. He had made sure of that.

He hummed quietly to himself before returning to his reading—unbothered. He would soon be with you again. He couldn’t wait. He couldn’t wait to make you scream his name so loud that you wouldn’t even dare speak up again….

He turned another page with a malicious smirk.

"~All good things come to those who wait."

Family Affairs:

Hannibal Family Pt. 9: @iloveslasher @charliedawn

Hannibal’s POV:

It had been a few weeks since I started hypnosis therapy on Newt, and things were going well. They seemed happy, and Peter was more than happy. In fact, this was probably the happiest I’d seen him in a while. His anxiety had decreased significantly. He still stuttered quite a bit, but he didn’t fidget as much. Almost always holding Newt’s hand.

I was a tad worried about the Codependency issue that was rearing it’s head, and so was Morgan. Morgan took family a little more seriously than Kevin did, and therefore was fiercely protective. He’d check in on them when they were at home. Even though I assured him it was unnecessary.

Today was a rare day, visitation day with Hannibal Sr. Everyone was already downstairs for breakfast except for the youngest two.

“Late for breakfast again.” Morgan commented .

I chuckled under my breath, preparing the tofu scramble for the others.

“I bet they’re canoodling.”

“Kevin, don’t be crude.”

Kevin rolled his eyes and as punishment I made him set the table.

“You have to be on your best behaviour today, we’re visiting your father.”

“What are we doing with the kid?” Morgan asked curiously.

“They’re coming with us. Hannibal will want to meet them. Since they live here now. I’m sure he won’t be to pleased that I didn’t talk to him first, but he did put me in charge while he’s in prison.” I explained calmly.

Kevin snickered under his breath. I could tell the boy was going to be a handful today. He grew antsy when he didn’t kill for too long. It was like an impulse he couldn’t control. To break up the conversation, Peter finally came down.

“You’re late.” I stated simply.

“Sorry-“ he began.

“Sorry Hannibal, it was my fault, couldn’t find a sweater to wear this morning and I asked Peter for his help.” Newt jumped in to his rescue.

Something they did a lot, when they thought he was in trouble. They sheltered him in a way. As if they were scared to disappoint him.

“And you settled on that?” Kevin asked.

They frowned.

“My sister gave me this sweater.” They frowned.

Morgan’s head perked up at that. We were all thinking the same thing.

“Sister?” He asked.

They nodded.

“Before she left for college she gave me some of her old clothes.”

“You’ve never spoken about her before.” I said, placing the food down before them.

“You never asked.”

“I didn’t know about her either” Peter said defeated.

“I can tell you guys about her if you want. I didn’t think any of you would care.” They said honestly.

“Only if you wish to my dear.”

They shrugged.

“I’d rather hear about Hannibal Sr. You said we’re going to visit him today right?”

“Yes, and what did I tell you?”

“Stay behind you, be quiet, only speak when spoken to, and be polite.” The reiterated.

“Good.”

“Are you scared?” Kevin tried to rile them up.

“Why would I be?”

“Because he’s an evil murderous Cannibal.” Kevin spoke.

I rolled my eyes at his antics. Newt blinked, starring at him. Well, not staring, they always avoided eye contact, but they starred in his general direction.

“So- so are you, Kevin. Kevin did you forget what you’re eating right now? I’m not stupid, I know that why Hannibal always gives me Peter’s food.” They said.

Kevin chuckled darkly, apparently achieving what he was aiming for with that comment.

“Unless you’re suggesting your Father is going to break out of prison and eat me, I don’t understand why I should be concerned.”

“Who knows, maybe he will.”

Kevin shoved some breakfast sausage into his mouth, staring at them intently.

“Kevin, stop trying to scare the poor thing. It’s not going to work.” Morgan scolded his brother.

“Yeah, dad would never!” Peter chimed it.

“Kevin, I do hope you realise you’re not going to be rid of me that easily. Hannibal has expected me into this house, unless he kicks me out you’re kinda stuck with me.” They said.

I smiled at how kindly they referred to me. They’d grown to trust me more. And see this place as their home already. We just need Seniors approval of the young child. But I think they fit in perfectly with our messed up little family. Peter certainly enjoys no longer being the youngest.

“Kevin does somewhat have a point, you have to-“

“Be on my best behaviour. Yes, Hannibal, I know. I do listen when you talk. Unlike somebody” they glanced at Kevin.

I wasn’t too concerned, this is how Kevin acted with Peter when he first got here. Always pushing and testing, seeing if they’re worthy.

“I promise to show the utmost respect to your father. Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye.”

I couldn’t help the small smile that broke onto my face. I often thought Peter’s mannerisms where cute, being he was the shyest of all of us. But Newt was ten fold, adorable in a way that shouldn’t be possible for someone who’s witnessed the things they have.

“No needles.” Peter mumbled.

They rolled their eyes at him.

“Scaredy cat.” They joked.

The rest of breakfast went off without a hitch. Morgan Insisted on going ahead in his own car. Kevin, Newt and Peter rode with me. The car ride was silent, Kevin staring out the window, and Peter and Newt using their headphones to watch some sort of video in the back seat.

I looked through the review and could see Newt play with the end of their hair. A nervous tic they had. I offered them a small smile as they met my eyes in the mirror. They gave one in return. As we pulled up I put the car in park.

“Are you all ready to go in?”

Kevin gave me a shrug, Peter and Newt both nodded.They walked slowly behind Peter, holding onto his hand for comfort. Kevin made a noise of disgust and pushed past them to get ahead of us. I’m not sure why he was in such a mood today but I’d have to discuss it with him later. Things were going smoothly at first. We got all checked in, and I explained to the guards that Newt was family, so they should be added to the visitation registration.

I asked them to wait outside as I went in to greet Hannibal and Morgan. Peter rubbed his hand gentle against the back of their hand. Morgan seemed quite content with the alone time he got with his father, smiling brightly by the time I got there.

“Why hello Hannibal, father was just telling me about this new book he read.” Morgan greeted.

“Lovely.”

“Hello Jr. Morgan says you have news.” He said flatly.

“Yes. Morgan.” I said.

He got the cue to leave.

“Send the others in in about fifteen minuets.” I instructed.

He nodded and ducked out of the room, the guards quickly locking the doors again.

“Please do tell, you know how much I hate to waste time.”

“I know I’m supposed to run things by you, but there was a situation that needed to be handled and I didn’t have time to come to you first.”

“Oh?”

“We have a new family member, the paper work is still going through, but they will be a Lecter. Legally.”

“And you think they are worthy of such a title.”

“Yes, they’ve proven themself. Peter has taken a great liking to them and it would be cruel to separate them now.”

“And how is he, Peter. Still refusing to eat meat?”

“Yes. He still uncomfortable about it, he and Newt often eat together in his room for meal time.”

“Newt?”

“My apologies Father, the child I’ve adopted. Peter’s friend. Their name is Newt.”

“How peculiar. Have you brought them with you?”

“Of course, I wanted them to meet you. I felt it was important.”

“We’ll then, bring them in. That would make them my Grandchild would it not? The first.”

“As you wish.” I said.

They would be in soon with Morgan anyway. As the door opened, Kevin was the first to make it to us, eager as always to say hello. Then Morgan, and Peter and Newt trailed behind. Newt stayed firmly behind Peter, keeping their eyes on the ground. Hannibal said his hellos to everyone and stopped when he got to them.

“And who do we have here?” He asked.

They looked up, faltering slightly. Shifting on their feet nervously.

“Newt, Sir. It’s lovely to meet you.” They smiled.

They had a stray hair out of place that Peter was quick to fix for them.

“Step forward.”

They did so silently, still avoiding his gaze.

“Are you nervous child?” Hannibal asked, attempting to profile them.

“Hesitant, perhaps uneasy. But not nervous…”

Hannibal hummed, leaning closer to the glass.

“Closer.” He said.

They shook their head, standing their grand.

“I’m sorry Dr Lecter, but the guards said we’re not allowed to get close to the glass. I would not wish to get kicked out and cut your time with your children short. I think I’ll stay right here, thank you.” They spoke.

Their voice was clear and certain. Like a small creature who puffed up, to try to intimidate the predator.

“You’re avoiding eye contact.” He said simply.

“I do not like peoples eyes, Sir. They aren’t very kind, they’re quite confusing actually. Too many emotions to be discovered, people suck at hiding their eyes.”

I watched carefully, trying to gauge his interaction. He did at least seem intrigued, but I could tell he wasn’t a fan of how I went about things. But what could he do? He was in prison, life had to go on while he was locked up.

“May I talk to my new grandchild alone for a while?” Hannibal asked.

Morgan gave me a look of uncertainty, and Kevin simply smirked, patting them on the back with a “good luck” that meant nothing kind.

“Are you sure that’s the best idea?” I asked.

“Are you attempting to undermine my authority Jr?”

“No.”

“Good. I simply wish to get to know them better.”

I couldn’t tell if he was lying. I let out a sigh, turning to Newt.

“We’ll be right outside if you need anything, ok?”

They nodded. Peter seemed to struggle with the order, staying back for a moment.”

“It’s ok Petey, I got this.” They smiled at him.

He let go of their hand and followed me down the long hallway.

Newt’s POV:

I felt like a field mouse, in the open desert, surrounded by vultures. I could hear the sound of the other cell mates, making crude suggestions and hollering. I winced a little, wishing I could cover my ears. It was unsavoury, but I attempted to focus on Hannibal.

He was quite intimidating in person. Peter and told me many stories, and the fact that her rescued all of them meant he did have a heart. Even if it wasn’t as open as most people’s, it wouldn’t be impossible for me to find his. I watched as they all left, feeling suddenly aware of the lack of warmth from Peter no longer being at my side. I frowned.

“You’ve taken quite a liking to him.” Hannibal spoke.

It startled me, his voice was more commanding than his sons. He chuckled slightly at that.

“Huh?” I asked.

“Peter. You seem to like him the most.”

“Yes, he is my best friend. We do everything together.” I smiled.

“Everything?” He asked curiously.

I looked back at the cameras, knowing the guards were still watching.

“Most, everything.” I corrected.

“What is it you enjoy about his company?”

“He is kind, he was the first person to talk to me at school. And he’s protective, and funny. I remember the first time he tried to tell me a joke to cheer me up. It didn’t go so well. What is it that you like about him?” I chuckled.

“Are you asking what I like about my own child?”

“I suppose I am Dr. Most parents claim to not have favorites, but you must have one, right?”

I watched as he simply stared for a second, contemplating. Reading me, just like they all did when they thought I wasn’t paying attention.

“No Dear, I love them all equally.”

“Then you must be a good father.”

Another momentary pause, as if he was deciding what approach to take.

“Do you not see where we are standing he asked?”

“If you’re insulting being in prison makes you a bad father, I would have to respectfully disagree Dr Lecter. Your children adore you, and look up to you. You make them feel safe and loved, they have a place they call home, and they all go to bed at night fed and for the most part happy. They were quite excited to come see you today, at least I know Peter was. If you were bad, they wouldn’t come visit you.” I explained.

“Quite the perceptive little thing aren’t you?” He chuckled darkly. “I see why my eldest has taken a liking to you. You remind me of that friend of his, Will, I believe his name is.”

“I’m not sure how to take that Sir, but I will assume it was a compliment. So thank you. May I ask you a question?”

He nodded as if to tell me to go ahead.

“What do you do for fun in here? It must be lonely.”

“That sounds like two questions my dear.”

“No, I believe it was a question and a statement.”

“Believe?”

“My apologises, I know.”

“That’s better. You should honestly work on your confidence if you’re going to be a Lecter.”

“Noted.”

“But to answer your question, I read.”

“Do you have any favorites?”

“Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky, I suppose. I prefer longer works.”

I hummed in response. It felt awkward, standing so far away when I wanted to get closer. I wanted to know what Peter sees in him. To experience his aura, that was all wonky from this far back. It felt impersonal and distanced, which made me sad. This was no way to meet someone who meant so much to Peter and his family.

I absentmindedly took another step forward. My mind clouding with millions of questions that I didn’t want to bombard the older man with. Hannibal did ask me to be polite after all. Another step, until I was just inches from the glass. I hadn’t spoken a single word, lost in my own head.

“Carful Deary, you’re nearly touching the glass.” Dr Lecter’s voice was low and menacing.

A sound that sent a shiver down my spine. The way he was looking at me made me uneasy. But he was right, I had gotten closer, what was I thinking. At least the guards didn’t seem upset.

“Oh.” Was all I said. Then I remembered the book I had tucked in my cardigan. “Peter wanted me to give this too you.” I said.

I looked back at the camera as if to ask for permission, when nobody came in to stop me, I reached for the little draw lock on the side of his cell. I slid the book inside, and was about to close the draw so it was back on his side, when a hand grabbed mine, from the angle I was at, the camera wouldn’t be able to see him grab onto me. Clever. He didn’t speaking, simply turning my hand over in his and looking at it intently.

He seemed to take note of the marks that littered my wrists. He pressed into one of them, and I didn’t dare speak or make a noise. Of course I was a little scared, but I would be foolish to get their father into trouble. So I kept my mouth shut and watched his every movement. As he pressed deeper, his nail gentle broke the surface of my skin, a small bead of blood forming.

He finally dropped my hand and I pulled away, pushing the draw closed and backing up a few steps, looking at my wrist then back up at him. He grabbed the book with one hand, and brought the other hand, with a drop of my blood on it, up to his lips. He closed his eyes for a moment, savouring the taste.

“Thank you, Little Lamb” Was all he said.

He was gesturing to the book, but I could tell that wasn’t what he talked about. He must be starving. Of course he was, he was a cannibal locked up in prison, he hasn’t had human meat for a long time. I sort of felt bad for him. I gave him a simple nod, pulling my cardigan down to cover my slightly bleeding wrist.

“Perhaps I shall go retrieve Peter, he’ll want to hear you thank him for the book.”

I was quick to rush out of there, the unease of the whole situation setting in. I just went to prison to visit a cannibal, and was foolish enough to allow him to get a taste of my blood. What would the others say if I told them? Perhaps it was best they didn’t know. Especially Peter, he would flip.

Peter sprung up from the bench when he saw me.

“So, how did it go?” He asked.

“I think he likes me.” I said confused.

“Oh trust me, you would know if our father didn’t like you little dove.” Morgan spoke up.

I didn’t like the way he said that. I didn’t like anything about this place at all!

An: I’ll introduce the sister next chapter I guess, I wanted to add more drama to the story so, new character! Yay! I just gotta figure them out.

[charliedawn]

Hiya Charlie! I missed ya! I’ve been busy with college. I finally changed my major to American history and I’m happier.

Anyway I have a request for you! Idk if you do AUs or anything, but I thought it’d be fun. How about a Hannibal royal family au? I’ve been reading a lot about knights and princes and princesses lately, and this idea wouldn’t leave my brain!

have a lovely day Charlie!

ROYAL HANNIBAL FAMILY AU:

You were but a villager.

In no way were you expected to attend any royal ceremony or to even set foot into the palace…but, you had still received a letter one morning—inviting you to the castle. You had believed in a hoax at first—a joke. Or maybe even a mistake. But, the letter had your name on it—written in pretty cursive.

You were hence invited to the castle of the royal family. Once confirmed, you began to be frightened. Many rumours went about that place…And some of them were gruesome.

Tales of man-eating monsters and bloodthirsty creatures hiding within the castle.

You didn’t know why you had been invited—but you knew that you had no choice but to accept the invitation or some misfortune might befall on you. You hence stepped within the walls of the dark castle where many had stepped in before—only to never return…

You knew you ought to bring a gift for the family, and hence chose to pluck flowers from your garden and bring them with you—hoping they would be enough to change your destiny.

HANNIBAL SR. THE KING:

Fleur de Lys.

For the king, you had brought magnificent fleurs de lys—the royal flower. It was said to bring peace and prosperity to a kingdom. You entered the throne room and sure enough, here was his majesty the king. Your knees started shaking as you made your way into the throne room and bowed deeply before none other than King Hannibal Lecter. His eyes seemed to bore into yours and he didn’t talk for a moment—until his eyes landed on the flowers.

"…Are those for me ?" He asked and you nodded before taking a step forward.

"Yes, my king." To your utter surprise, king Hannibal himself stood up and walked down the stairs of his throne to you. He then took the flowers in his hands and smiled.

"…Ah. Fleur de Lys. How thoughtful. A worthy gift. Such a lovely one at that." His eyes looked down at the unfortunate creature who had come into his castle for the sole purpose of being hunted.

"Tell me, my dear child. Why bring me flowers ?"

He was genuinely curious and you smiled before slowly looking back up at him.

"You and your family have been protecting this land and our way of life for as long as I can remember. And I knew that if I was to meet a king, then I was to bring a gift to show my gratitude as to this unexpected invitation."

Hannibal Sr looked at the villager curiously. It was rather odd. No villager had ever brought a gift with them before…But, it wasn’t unwelcome. He smiled. It was even quite touching in a way…He gave the flowers to a servant for them to put them in a vase. He then looked back down at the villager.

"What is your name, child ?" He asked—his voice authoritative and loud enough to echo all around the throne room like thunder.

"…Y/N. My king." You replied before looking up at him and he smiled as he looked at you curiously. You were intriguing. He hummed before returning to his throne to sit back down.

"How about I offer you a job, Y/N ? Would you like that ? Would you consider to work under my service ?" He asked and your eyes widened at the offer.

"Sir…I would love nothing more."

And just like that, you had now been hired by the royal family as a servant. And for the first time, the villagers saw one of their own return to the village. You quickly packed your bags and left—unaware the fate that you had miraculously escaped.

HANNIBAL JR. THE PRINCE REGENT:

Roses.

When you approached the gates, you could already see the guards staring at you with knowing smirks. You gulped. They seemed to know something about the purpose behind your visit and the way they looked at you made you involuntarily shiver…You looked at the roses in your hands. Perhaps your gift would spare you punishment, or even death ? You shook your head at the dark thoughts plaguing your mind before stepping inside and making your way to the throne room…You were expecting to meet with the king.

But instead, the Prince Regent was sitting there—his piercing gaze staring at you intensely as you approached.

"M-My prince…" You greeted him politely before bowing respectfully before him.

"…I was made aware that you had a gift for me, is that correct ?" He asked and you bowed your head deeply before offering the roses to his gaze.

"Yes, my prince. Roses." He scoffed before standing up to look at the roses closely.

"I have many roses within my kingdom, why would you bother bringing me such a gift ?" You stayed completely still and didn’t know how to answer.

"I…I just thought that his majesty would appreciate them. I have grown them myself and I thought that you would be able to appreciate a gift as this one because I heard you valued hard work and dedication. I only wished to prove myself to you."

Hannibal Jr smirked before grasping your chin and slowly tilting it up to look into your eyes.

"Very well…And what can you do for me then, little flower ?"

You started thinking about it before replying confidently.

"…Anything you want, my prince."

He studied your answer and smiled as his eyes didn’t leave yours for a second. He finally released your chin and seemed pleased by your answer.

"Anything you say ? Interesting."

Maybe…Would he keep that one ?

MORGAN HANNIBAL THE FIRST PRINCE: Pansies

Once you had entered, you followed your instincts to give you the path to the throne room, as no one seemed to be around to guide you. You started walking until you reached a magnificent door with lovely gold patterns. You thought it was the throne room and opened the door—only to end up in a library. You looked around curiously. The village didn’t have books such as these—not as many anyway…And besides, only a lucky few knew how to read. And they didn’t share their knowledge unless they were paid…

Then, your eyes landed on a book that was open on the table. You knew you better haste and find the throne room before your time was up but…Curiosity got the best of you and you slowly made your way to the book. You hoped there would at least be pictures for you to look at…Once close enough, you looked at the pages and found it rather curious to find the illustrated representation of a rabbit wearing a waistcoat and holding a pocket watch…How curious.

As the pages were flipped, more incongruous and confusing characters came in, all the more interesting as the pages went along…You couldn’t help but giggle at the sight of a smiling purple cat. You then wondered who that book might well belong to ?

Suddenly, you felt a presence behind you and before you could turn around—you felt the hand of a stranger at the back of your neck and forcing you to remain in the same position…bent over the book.

"…Do you like it ?" He asked—his voice merely a whisper in your ear and you gulped as you started becoming nervous.

"I…I didn’t mean to look at it. I am sorry, sir. Please. Forgive me."

He tsskd in disapproval before digging his fingers into your skin.

"Answer my question, little mouse…or your last words will be the apology."

And with that threat, your tongue started working on its own.

"Y-Yes. I like it. I love the pictures and the funny animals. I just…I would just like to understand more. I have trouble understanding the story. I am sorry."

He hummed behind you before sitting down next to you. That is when his face came into view and your eyes widened as you recognised the first prince…You wished to escape—but his grip hadn’t loosened as he took the book and opened it on the first page.

To your utter shock, he started reading it to you. His voice was cold, but poised and rich like cinnamon and melted sugar…After a while, you decided it was best to just listen and enjoy the privilege of being read to. You didn’t even notice when his grip on you finally loosened completely and he instead started circling the side of your throat with his thumb—seeking your pulse and wondering if you were afraid.

He searched for fear. He found none…His eyes settled on the flower pot you had brought with you…pansies. You had brought pansies to the castle and he held back a laugh before continuing reading to you.

You had no idea of the fate awaiting you.

KEVIN HANNIBAL THE MIDDLE PRINCE: Daffodils.

"HELLO, PRECIOUS !" You were stunned when the doors of the castle opened wide and none other than Prince Kevin came out with a big grin on his face. "Come in, luv’. Make yourself at home !"

He took your hand and before you could as much as let out a squeak of protest…You were already in. He dragged you all the way to—what you assumed to be—his bedroom. It was a great room with all the luxury one could afford…but what truly struck you wasn’t the fine furniture and incredible gold, silver and emerald green designs worthy of such a man…No.

It was the paintings.

Hundred of them. They were covering the walls and for a simple villager, it was like walking inside a great museum. You had never seen so many paintings, or even held a brush before. But, you couldn’t but to marvel facing all those reproductions of people you had met, people you had never met, places you had seen and other unseen…It put into perspective all the things you knew and didn’t in such a beautiful way.

The prince remained silent—observing you with a slight tilt of his lips. He was holding back a smile as he saw the admiration in your gaze…The middle prince was foreign by what the rumours said about him—from a country far away surrounded by water and where dark creatures resided. But, his smiling face was a complete contrast with what you thought your first meeting with royalty would be.

"Not bad, eh ?" He asked and his accent rolled off his tongue in such a way that it inwardly made you smile for some reason.

"Those are…incredible, my prince." He chuckled at your compliment before looking down at the flowers in your hands.

"Are those for little old me ?" Before you could answer, he took the flowers from you and smiled at the daffodils. He then did something unexpected and threw the flowers on his bed. You were about to ask the reason before he wordlessly guided you to the bed and laid you down carefully. He then started placing the flowers all around your head—as if putting together an art piece. When he was finished, he smiled.

"Don’t move." He then quickly grabbed brushes, colours and a canvas to start painting. You didn’t dare move as he put himself to work and silent fell all around you—except for the occasional sounds of the careful strokes of his paintbrush on the canvas and your breathing. After a while, you dared to glance at the prince and observe him as he worked. He was…quite handsome. His eyelids lowered and his eyes focused on his work. You didn’t know the reason for your summoning, but you would have never thought it was to be the model for the prince’s next art piece.

Suddenly, his eyes met yours and he smiled knowingly—for a moment resembling his own art in the perfection of his traits.

You smiled back.

PETER HANNIBAL. THE YOUNGEST PRINCE: Sunflower.

Peter was bored. His father and brothers were all busy with their duties and he wasn’t allowed outside the wall of his room. He sighed and was staring out his window. He wished for a friend…a friend to come and cure his boredom. And as if his prayers had finally been answered, someone entered his room—someone new. He had first expected Morgan or Kevin, but his eyes lit up when he realised that it was someone he had never seen before…

"Oh. My apologies. I…I am afraid I am a bit lost."

His mouth was about to speak up when they landed on the sunflower in your hand instead. A sunflower ? You had brought a sunflower ? He stared at it and you noticed. You smiled before giving it to him. He was surprised, but smiled at the gift that he eagerly received and stared at…

"Could you please tell me the direction of the throne room ?" They asked with an incredibly sweet voice and Peter was stunned for a few seconds. The throne room ? No…So, they were the next meal ? The next one to be served as dinner for his family ? He looked them up and down and in a matter of seconds—took a decision. He stood up and went to the door to lock it. He then remained with his back facing you for a while before slowly turning back towards you with the biggest grin on his face.

"C-Could you play a game with me ? Just the two of us ?" You blinked twice in astonishment at his request before chuckling nervously.

"Hum…I am not sure, my prince. I think I ought to go to the throne room now before I arrive late…"

"Just one. PLEASE !" He pleaded and you knew that he wouldn’t take no for an answer, so you smiled and nodded in agreement. "Sure. What is the game then, my prince ?"

He giggled and his face got closer to you before he replied:

"Listen to me and do everything I say or…you die." You were taken aback for a moment before you huffed a nervous laugh.

"…What ?"

Suddenly, his jovial smile disappeared—replaced by darkness in his eyes.

"You heard me. Do as I say or…my papa and my brothers will find you and eat you. But, I can keep you safe. I can help you. All you have to do is promise to be my friend !" At that last part, he grinned again and you knew better than to ignore such words. They were no laughing matter—especially that you knew you hadn’t been the first to be summoned and to never return. You realised that he wasn’t kidding and you gulped. What choice did you have ?

You bowed.

"Yes. Thank you, my prince."

His grin widened before he hugged you tightly.

"You and I…we’re gonna be best friends. You’ll see. And I’ll love you and you’ll love and it is gonna be so great ! You’ll see…"

Indeed, you would…

You thought before a petal of the sunflower fell to the floor.

Hannibal Jr’s POV:

There had been an incident down at the prison last night and I woke up to a phone call at six in the morning. I was quick to answer it.

“Hello, yes this is he. Oh really? Thank you for letting me know. I can be there in less than an hour.”

I sighed, running my hands over my face. They were moving my father to a different building. Supposedly one of the inmates broke out and tried to kill him, obviously that didn’t end well for the inmate who was now missing his nose. I took a quick shower, rushing my routine as I would have to call a few clients and cancel today. As I made my way to the kitchen, I was surprised to find someone already awake.

“Newt?”

They didn’t respond, so I drew closer.

“Mx Newt.” I tried again.

I seemed to have startled them out of whatever trance they were in, because they almost fell out of their chair. I was quick to offer my hand to steady them.

“Hey, sorry. Umm, what time is it?”

“6:12”

I raised a brow at their odd behaviour, watching their eyes widen.

“Oh.”

“Why are you awake?” I asked.

“Didn’t fall asleep yet.” They shrugged.

I frowned.

“Sleep is-“

“Very important to growing minds, yes I know Hannibal. I didn’t do it on purpose. I just can’t sleep recently. Are you off to work this early?”

I shook my head no.

“Something happened down at the prison.”

“Oh no, is your father ok?” They asked, genuine worry in their town.

I wasn’t aware they’d grown affections for him, considering they’ve only met the once. I made myself a cup of coffee, setting a small amount aside for them. Normally I wouldn’t support someone their age drinking caffeine, but I had a feeling they wouldn’t go to bed after I left, so they’d be needing it. I didn’t have time to make a real breakfast, so I grabbed a protein bar, and gave them an apple.

“Oh, thank you.” The smiled at me. “Umm, Hannibal, would you like me to go with you?”

I was surprised by their question.

“I’m not exactly sure a prison is the best place for you to be spending your time.”

“But going alone can be quite stressful, I know you don’t like change in your routine.”

I smiled at them. They were quite a polite child. I’m a few more weeks the adoption paperwork would official be done, and they would become one of us. Part of the family. The invitation was extended to their sister, who it seemed a Morgan had grown quite fond of. Spending a lot of his time driving back and forth to the college after work. He was hardly around right now, but that’s what young love did to a boy.

“You don’t have to come with me.”

“I don’t have school today and Peter wasn’t feeling well earlier so he kicked me out of his room so I don’t get sick.”

“Peter isn’t feeling well?”

They shook their head.

“I don’t think it’s anything serious, just a little sniffle.”

“We’ll then I suppose we should pick him up some medication on the way home.”

I watched their eyes light up, as realisation hit them.

“Yeah, yeah, let me go get dress, give me three minutes.”

Normally I didn’t allow running in the house, but who was I to squash their joy right now. It warmed my heart that they wanted to visit my father again. I thought for sure he’d scared them off last time. They came down wearing a little brown suit that appeared to be suede, and a lemon yellow under shirt. They flicked their hair out of the collar as they came back to the kitchen.

“You look nice.”

“Thanks, I’d say the same but you always look nice.” The laughed lightly.

There wasn’t much laughter in this house, and it was a nice change of pace. We sat in a comfortable silence for the first fifteen minuets of the drive. They watched the trees out the window for the most part.

“Hey Hannibal?”

“Yes?”

“Would you mind if I played some music? It’s a little too quiet and the sound of the air vents is making me dizzy.”

What an odd way to describe such a small sound. I hadn’t even noticed they were on until they said something.

“Don’t worry, I won’t play anything bad.” They quickly followed.

I gave them a quick nod as I watched them fiddle with the Aux chord Peter had put in my car. He also hated sitting in silence. It was funny how alike the two teens were. I was pleasantly surprised when they started playing something I knew.

“Sergei Prokofiev?” I asked.

They hummed lightly.

“He’s one of my favourites.”

I listened to the symphony peacefully. It was a rather nice piece. A few more song played before I brought the car to a stop.

“Alright, stay by my side, do you understand?”

“Yes sir”

“Good. Hopefully this will be a quick trip.”

They stayed behind me as we went inside and greeted the lady at the front desk. She gave us our visitor badges and a few guards escorted us to my fathers new cell. It was secluded and away from any other inmates. Perhaps he’d finally get some peace and quiet. I grabbed the book I’d brought out of my trench coat pocket.

“Dante’s Inferno?”

“You’ve read it?”

“Not yet, I’ve always wanted to though. It’s nice that you and your father share a similar taste in literature.”

“It’s is, isn’t it? Perhaps he will let you read it when he is done.”

They gave me a bright smile. The holding cell was all thick bulletproof glass, so the cameras could watch him from all angels. I cursed under my breath, it we certainly be more difficult if he wanted to attempt to escape from this one. There were only small slots where they were pass him his food.

“Hello Father.”

“Hello Jr. I see you’ve brought the child with you.”

“Good morning Doctor Lecter!” They greeted softly.

“You should speak up child.”

“My apologises.” They said a little louder.

I could tell they were nervous, the fidgeted with the hem of their suit jacket.

“How are you feeling, Hannibal explained to me what happened.”

“I’m quite fine child. Though I must admit I was caught off guard. And now, I’m essentially being punished for defending myself.”

“I’m sorry.”

“What do you have there?” My father turned his attention back to me.

“I brought you another book, they said you were still allowed to have them, as long as there where no hard covers.”

I moved over to the slot and slid it through to my father.

“Interesting choice my boy.”

I gave him a small smile. Being in prison much feel like the nine circles of hell sometimes. I was glad it wasn’t me who was on the other side of that glass.

“How are the boys?” He asked.

“Peter is feeling a little under the weather, but Newt and I will bring him medicine and soup on the way home. Kevin is well, Kevin, you know how he is-“

“That I do. And Morgan?”

“Morgan is visiting the college where my sister attends today. He wanted to bring her a home cooked meal for lunch.”

“I wasn’t aware you had siblings.”

“Sibling, just the one.” They corrected.

I must admit, that was rather bold of them. Not even Peter dared to correct our father.

“Her name is Serenity, she’s studying law. Morgan and her a great friends.”

“Friends?” He asked amused.

“I do believe Morgan shares some affections for the girl. But I approve of her, she’s polite, intellectual and loyal.”

“All good traits to have. I would be rather interested to meet her.”

“We’ll she’s very busy with school, but I will send a letter to ask. She’s met everyone else already. Though I don’t think Kevin or Peter like her much.”

My father chuckled.

“Kevin doesn’t like anybody, my dear. And how are you doing today?”

“I’m fine.” The shrugged, “a bit bored is all. But Hannibal let me come with him today so this is nice.”

“Perhaps you should ascertain a hobby.”

“Morgan did say he would teach me about the circulatory system when he got home today. Does learning count as a hobby?”

“I suppose it does. You’re interested in medicine?”

“Blood, mostly. But the rest is rather fascinating as well.”

My father gave me a knowing look. I do think he likes them.

“Oh, Father, I came to tell you Newt’s adoption should be finalised before the end of the month.”

“Congratulations my dear. It’s a difficult venture to win the heart of my son. And Congratulations to you too Hannibal. You’ve taken so good care of my boys, I have no doubt you’ll be an excellent parent.”

“Thank you.”

“Yes, thank you!”

I heard the sound of the door click.

“I do believe our time is up I’m afraid. You take care dear, Hannibal.”

He nodded to each of us.

“Please do try to stay out of trouble Father.”

“Goodbye Doctor Lecter!”

Newt waved as the followed me out the door. The ride back was much the same as the ride there. Expect for the few stops we had to make to get supplies for Peter.

“Would you like to help me with the soup?”

“Of course. I’ve never made this kind before, what is it again?”

“Curried sweet potato and chickpea soup. It makes up for the proteins Peter lacks in his diet. Well the diet the both of you share I suppose.”

“It’s sounds amazing.”

It was nice getting to spend some one on one time with them, outside of a clinical setting. They seemed to fit in quite nicely here. Things were all going to plan for once, which was a great relief. I watched as they rolled up their sleeves and tied an apron around their waste.

“Shall we?” They asked.

“We shall.”

An: a bit shorter than normal but I’ve been sick for the whole week so I don’t have much an edgy right now. Hope you enjoyed it none the less.

What does Kevin think about Neil’s math nerdiness?

Math Nerd AU

Kevin very much at first does not have an opinion on it because well who gives a shit about how good your new teammate is at MATH when Math doesn't really calculate all that much into Exy. It's not like Neil's calculating rebound angles or-

"Can you calculate exactly where the ball will go?"

Neil looks at him. "Where I throw it?"

Kevin frowns, "No, how many rebounds can you calculate the trajectory of for Exy?" he rephrases.

"Uh, probably 2. After that? No." Neil admits, "I only took physics as my science gen-ed because the math is kind of fun." Neil says.

Useless.

Once he realizes that Neil's Math Nerdiness is long-term a better shield for him after Kengo kicks it? He's a big fan.
