Work Text:

“This is all I ever wanted for you, will” and this was all it took for him. His mind went blank and all that will could possibly think about was one quote he kept replying in his mind “Can’t live with him, but can’t live without him either.”

…”can’t live with him..”
“Can’t live without him…”

Their faces were close. So close, they could feel each other’s breath.
Hannibal held him close.. The younger man took another step forward, causing both bodies to stumble backward.

“Can’t live with him, can’t live without him…”
Then maybe he just didn’t want to live at all..

Another step, they stumbled further back.. just a little more. Hannibal didn’t even seem to try and fight back. He wasn’t stupid, he knew exactly what the other one was planning. He felt how perfectly Hannibal’s hand’s fitted around his waist. Almost as if they were meant to be…

These hands, which killed countless of innocent people, were made to be around will’s waist.

Another step.. and another one. One last breath and Will was thinking about kissing the ash blonde man in front of him, but it all went too fast for him to even react. Neither of them screamed when they fell. It was what they both wanted.

They both had expected to be dead when they landed in the ocean beneath. How came they weren’t..? Neither of them knew how they survived. They were senseless paddling on the water until Hannibal’s back was pressed against a large rock.

“You’re insane, will..” He stammered, shivering from soaked his clothes were.

Maybe will was insane, maybe he had always been insane and Hannibal was just who brought out that special part inside of himself. But before he even could form a sentence, he felt cold and shivering lips on his. If this would be their last hour, he found himself not minding. Neither of them cared if they lived or died.
