Description
Hannibal/Reader
Humans - Civil Twilight

Rain patters lightly on the side of the windows as you pull into the driveway. The house is painted perfectly, every bush is perfectly trimmed, the lawn perfectly manicured, and the man inside is perfect. You have always felt that you where the one scratch in his perfect façade.

There's one way out and no way in
Back to the beginning
There's one way back to home again
To where I feel forgiven

You step out of the car and shut the door quietly, standing in the rain. “He deserves so much better than me” you think. What does he possibly see in you that makes you even the slightest bit desirable. You stand in the rain as your hair plasters to your scalp.

What is this I feel? Why is it so real?
What am I to say?

He looks up at you from inside the window, his eyes look sad. He sets his cooking utensils down and wipes his hands on his apron.

It's only love, it's only pain
It's only fear that runs through my veins
It's all the things you can't explain
That make us human

Tears blend with the rain running down your cheeks as you stand outside. A tremor shakes through your body as you let out a sob. Hannibal walks from view and once again reappears just inside the front door. He walks toward you at a quick pace but to you it seems like an eternity.

I am just an image of
Something so much greater
I am just a picture frame
I am not the painter

He wraps his arms around you.

Where do I begin? Can I shed this skin?
What is this I feel within?

You let him lead you inside, never taking your hand out from his.

It's only love, it's only pain
It's only fear that runs through my veins
It's all the things you can't explain
That make us human, that make us human
That make us human

He wraps a towel over your shoulder and pulls your chin up between his thumb and forefinger, kissing you softly.

It's only love, it's only pain
It's only fear that runs through my veins
It's all the things you can't explain
That make us human, that make us human
That make us human, oh, that make us human

“I love you”
