Summary:

A lie and truth are always emblazoned on your skin, your soulmate’s first absolute lie and truth they ever tell you

Preview:

He tries to hide a smile into the bite he takes, Will has no idea, what or rather who he is eating. He catches a glimpse of Will’s wrists, one has a very short statement on it and the other something a little longer.

Hannibal wants to ask after them but he knows already Will is fiercely private. 

“I would apologize for my analytical ambush but I know I will soon be apologizing again and you’ll tire of that eventually so I have to consider using apologies sparingly.”

“Just keep it professional.”

“Or we could socialize like adults, god forbid we become friendly.”

“I don’t find you that interesting.” Hannibal’s heart stops. His wrist burns, and he resist the urge to rub at his soulmark. He knows it is a lie, but he knows that Will is his. His perfect match, and Hannibal suddenly doesn’t know what to do with that information. He knows he has to continue with the conversation.

“You will.” He says instead of anything else that flashes in his mind. “Agent Crawford tells me you have a knack for the monsters.”
