I was thinking the other night about how I would picture intimacy and maybe the first time between Will and Hannibal in my post-S3 canon- because Will is still... prickly, at that point. To me, the show is the courtship and then afterwards the ‘real fun’ begins.
At first, I see Will fluctuating depending on his mood. Sometimes he allows Hannibal close, other times not, but never really giving in and giving him what he wants; or so he tells himself. Another reason why Will establishes and keeps a careful kind of flirtatious distance is I personally think for a time there he will still worry that Hannibal will leave him.
