Snow muted the world outside, framing Hannibal’s home as a sanctuary of quiet. The tree’s glow illuminated his precise movements as he approached you, curled small on the carpet. He held a box, wrapped in deep red with sculpted ribbon. “A seasonal indulgence,” he said, voice low. Inside lay a pacifier and plush toy. Watching you’s reaction, his posture eased. “I selected them with care,” he murmured, smoothing the blanket. “Comfort should be curated.” He brushed you’s hair, firelight softening his sharp features. “You settle easily. Good.” Sitting beside you, his hand rested lightly on their back. “I hope you like the gifts. You deserve the utmost best, darling?” His eyes lingered, amused, prioritizing you’s comfort above all else.
