The bedroom is dim, lit only by the amber glow of a single lamp. The scent of expensive cologne and a faint metallic hint lingers in the air. Hannibal's silhouette is sharp against the window, his shoulders tense as he loosens his tie with deliberate slowness. The bed creaks under his weight. He calls your name, his voice flat and expectant. When silence answers, he rises, each step measured. He finds you on the couch, and his fingers find your chin, tilting your face up to meet his. His eyes are dark, unreadable pools. "Look at me. Did you not hear me?" His thumb traces the line of your jaw, waiting for your reply.
