This Silence is Deafening;; - - [ZOEY]

[Hannibal Casry]

It had been a long time since Hannibal stepped into a bar. It had been a long time since Hannibal had been anywhere for that matter. He had been practically held prisoner for 36 very long, and agonizing days. He walked further into the bar, and it was an unforgettable scene, a place that he should be able to remember. He didn't remember it. The place seemed new, as if he had never been here before. Oddly enough, he felt as if these things were true. He almost didn't feel like the same person. His longing for a lot of things were gone. He'd seen hell, he'd lived through hell and been punished for every thing that he's done, as well as for the things he has yet to do. How is that possible, you ask. Oh, it's possible, trust me. You don't want to visit hell, and then come back out of it alive.

Hannibal walked to a table in the back of the bar. He was dressed in all black as usual, and he blended in rather well. His hair was longer, and seemingly darker. His brownish black eyes were tired, and didn't hold their optimistic shine within them any longer. There was no smile on his features, nor was there the will to hold a smile any longer. A waitress came over to him, and he asked for a bottle of wine, and a glass. She was gone for a few long moments, and then came back with the bottle and the glass. She set them down and was on her way once more. He carefully looked at the bottle, as if his touch would shatter it instantly. He picked it up, being as careful as he could and poured a small bit of the wine in the glass.

The smell was strong, and sweet. A favorite this wine was. He always enjoyed the smell. He brought the glass to his lips and sipped the liquid quietly. The taste was better then anything he'd had in a long while. A long long while. He hid his colorless face in his hands for a moment, remaining very still and silent as the building around him settled down. It was midnight, yet the bar was somewhat empty. there were three of the regular drunks, and him. Four waitresses wandered around and a bar tender cleaned some glasses. The place was still, and quiet.

[Zoey]

It was freezing. Shivering Nicky rubbed her arms and ran into the bar. God what an awful night to be stuck in a snow storm. Hell she was used to being alone though. She was in her short wite dress that had spegetti straps and hugged her figure. Growling as her hair was now ruined she walked to a talbe sitting. It was a normal atmosphere but soemthing was different. Curiously her eyes wandered the bar. She was about to give up when a firmiliar face caught her attention. H-Hannnibal? She dropped her glass looking at some of the drunks who laughed. She just stared at him like she was amazed. Finally letting herself breath she wiped the water from her dress and got up slowly. Her high heels were the only noise in the bar as she slowly walked to Hannibal. He looked so dashing in black

The glint was not in his eyes and this she noticed right off. He was not himself. Had he mised her? Looking down at him her mouth open she put her hands in front of her Hi. She whispered...very lightly so only he could hear it. Her face was getting red and the laughter and talking was put back to full notch now that the moment was broken. Nicky met his eyes laughing nervously Long time no see? Her voice broke. He had just disappeared. It had broke her heart.

Not wanting him to push her away she sat in the chair across from him so he would not tell her to bugger off. No man had even entered her mind since she had met him...her heart thirsted for hims touch. Looking at his hand she tilted her head touching it gently I thought..i thought id never see you again. Her voice was very shaky and her hand was trembling. Nervousness did not even start to explain how she felt near him. He was flwaless and perfect...memories flooded into her mind. THe shower..the...kidnapping. Shivering she looked at him. They never really had..had sex. They had come very VERY close..but nope. Blushing she looekd down

[Hannibal Casry]

Again the glass came to his lips and the red poison entered his mouth and gently slid down his throat. How he wished it was fast acting poison. He'd just get things over with before anything else happened. Before his actions caught up with him and he was punished once more for the wrong that he had done. He hadn't yet been punished for his most recent act. The punishment would hopefully not catch up with him f he told no one. Although Hannibal knew this would not happen. He could not keep a secret. He'd probably wind up telling some homeless person his secret, and they'd turn him in for cash or something stupid like that. What the fuck? Why does he care? 25 to life isn't bad. If he shares his story the jury might let him off with self defense....

The clicking of the high heals shattered his thoughts like a stone would shatter the glass in a window. His dark brown eyes looked up to rest on the familiar face of the girl he'd seen before he vanished. Before he left this town without a goodbye. He had just walked away from all the he knew and stepped right into the front door of hell. Now here he was, staring face to face with the girl he'd climbed over mountains with. She knew him better then anyone in the world knew him, and he'd just walked away from her. Her face was blank, as if she couldn't believe she was staring at someone who was practically a ghost.

She sat across from him, and he seemed as if he didn't even hear her first two comments. Her hello, and long time no see comments. He did indeed hear them, but what would he do, say hello and then yes? What a waste of breath. He watched in silence as she sat in a chair across from him and gently touched his hand as she tilted her head. His dark brown eyes gazed over at hers. His pale features made his own eyes almost look black, and his longer hair hung in his face unlike it usually would. It hid a few of the small bruises on his face, and hid the dark circles that showed signs of no sleep. He couldn't believe she was here. The one night he came back, he ran into her. What were the odds?

"I didn't think we'd ever meet again either..." his voice was soft, and was very hoarse. If the bar wasn't silent like it was, then she wouldn't have been able to hear him. He raised the glass to his lips once more and finished the wine, and set it down again. Very gently he neared his hand to hers, almost as if she wasn't real. His actions were hesitant, and like he was reaching out to someone who wasn't there. "How have you been?" he asked in that same hoarse tone, with very hard to hear words.

[Zoey]

Nicky looked down at her feet wishing the redness in her cheeks would go down like tihs instant! Cursing as they didnt she gasped as his hands toucher hers and a smiled spread over her face. He was..actually here. Looking into his eyes she sighed How have i been? Her bitter laugh was louder to her You left without a goodbye Hannibal..i died that night She whispered meeting his eyes. She really did not want to get mad but..he had left her broken hearted and weeping. She had tredi to kill herself once failing miserably. She was to much of a wimp for that. Grasping his hand, afraid he would leave, she looked at the wall Have you..been here long? He words sounded strained. How could he be here and not tell her?

Again those memories taunted her. Lesley that sick fuck had ruined there relationship but she desperatly wanted him back. Every night she prayed he would return and scoop her into his wamr arms like he sued to do while she worked day and night to please that dam dog. Thinking of his dog she laughed under her breath sipping some water. Was he...he looekd awful she suddnely realzied. Worry crossed her face as she rached touching his cheek gently but angrily You were hurt again. Her voice was laced with bitterness. That was the one thing she rembered him hating..her being protective of him. Well how could she now? He probably never wanted to even talk to her and here she was forcing him to speak. Stroking his cheek with her thunmb she sat back in her chair.

It was not ber buisness. He had left her..shattered and she was still unsure if she was fully repaired. The night he had left she had searched till dawn for him. Fatigue had made her fall many times and scream for him. people had asked if she was alright but she could not hear them/ She had only wanted him Next to her whispering it would be alright and kissing her. God he had tasted so good. Not abusive like her passt lovers. She was dam in love with Hannibal and was unsure if she would be ever to get out of this commitment. It felt like she was menat for him and he was meant for her. Nicky sighed pushing her glass away. Water was not what she was thisrty for. Only one thing could quench her thisrt. And it was sitting right in front of her

[Hannibal Casry]

"I'm sorry." It was all that Hannibal could get to come out of his mouth at that moment. He didn't know what else to say. He had no reasons for leaving, at least, none that he could come up with. It hurt him to think how much he had hurt her, but, he had to get away. He couldn’t stay here any longer. There was too much that was literally killing him. So many things were killing him. Tearing his whole life apart piece by piece. He couldn't withstand all of the pain. It was too much for such a strong man. He seemed strong sometimes, but as time progressed he grew weaker. It was too much for him and he would plainly admit it if he needed too.

Once again she touched him. Her soft touch was no comparison to anything he'd ever felt. There was a caring hand that touched his face, instead of a cold steel pole, or a rough bright wall. There was no hand that felt like ice on his warm skin, or no hand that choked him when he didn't reply in the correct manner. There was anger in her eyes, but she was still gentle. She could read Hannibal as if he was a book. "Hurt can't even describe what I've been through." he said in that hoarse, hard to hear tone again as he looked away from her. She was so protective, and he loved it dearly, but in the same breath, being protective of him was like writing fuck me in a big red pen all over yourself. Every time that she had gone out on a limb to protect him, she'd been hurt in some way, shape or form. She didn't deserve that.

She sat back in the chair and his deep dark brown eyes gazed at her as he sat in silence. He kept his head down a bit, letting his longer brown hair still hid the bruises that lurked just beneath his silky locks. He didn't know why he'd come back. All he was doing was begging for attention and she probably knew that. He'd left and now he was back. She probably didn't even trust him anymore. As he gazed at her in silence he wished to lean forward and kiss her, to tell her that he missed her and thought of her every waking moment. He thought of her as he slept and he thought of her being every breath that kept him alive. "I'm sorry for just leaving you Nicky. Every reason I left would sound stupid and pointless if I try and explain, but I really hope you can forgive me... I--" he spoke with his hoarse lyrics and came to a resting point for a very long moment before speaking once more. "--I still love you Nicky -- I know you've probably moved on, but I haven't. I love you more then ever."

[Zoey]

Nicky sighed as he said sorry. Dammit he should be! He ruined her...but she still badly wanted him. Listening to him she sighed nodding Hurt....mutual feelings? She said smiling weakly at him as his hair fell over his gorgeous feautures. The poor guy. He had gone through so much..she wanted to drag him into her arms even if he beat the shit out of her she wanted to comfort him. Her eyes widened as he said he loved her and she looked at him shocked. You.love me still? She said like she could not comprehend. He felt the same? When he said she probably did not love him she got out of her chair throwing it down Hannibal Casry! How dare you- She marched over to him grasping the back of his neck capturing ehr lips to his.

He tasted just as she rembered and she kissed him hungrily sittingon his lap so she could get better acess to his mouth. Her eys closed and she was gentle ravishing his mouth as her hands rested on his chest bracing herself incase he ousehd her off. She would be crushed if he did. After about five minutes of making out she slowly pulled back looking into his eyes...searching to see his reaction I never stopped loving you from the moment i met you at that piece of shit resturaunt..mcdonalds. She laughed lightly and rested her forhead on his I thoguht i would never see you again....dont tell me hurt..because i died when you left me. Her voice was now hoarse like his as she searched his eyes not moving from his lap.

Hell she was not moving. If he was going to leave her again she was going to get as long as she had just even touching him. Stroking his chest with her thumb she examined his bruises Want me to kick someones ass? She teased lightly to try and make the mood less awkward. She really did love him and wished the god dam drunks would stop looking at them. Hell they even whistled but she jsut clenched ehr jaw smiling at him. She only had eyes and a heart for him. Hannibal was her life. At night he was all she thoguht about..ya it made her loose sleep alot but she was used to it. Like her, Hannibal had dark rings under his eyes and she gulped gently touching them Did i cause these? She asked. She wished he would jsut scoope her up kissing her and it would be like there nights so long ago..

[Hannibal Casry]

Hannibal flinched as she raised her voice and threw the chair down to the ground. His hands balled up into fists, but not to fight her, it was recoil to her loud reaction. He crunched down in the chair and she grabbed his neck with a firm but somewhat gentle hand. He still was curious and a tad frightened by her reaction, but when their lips locked, he felt safe once more. He felt a feeling of happiness rise from the bottom of his heart. How he missed the feeling of happiness and joy. How he missed being so close to someone he loved rather then someone who pushed him around.

He kissed her deeply, not wanting to push her away, in fact he pulled her closer, and with no hesitation let her onto his lap. He wanted her closer. He missed her loving touch, instead of a touch that was hard and emotionless. He didn't like hands that only hurt him and pushed him around, he wanted hands that would be gentle and loving. She pulled away then and looked into his eyes. He gazed into her gorgeous eyes and listened as she said she'd never stopped loving him. A very faint smile, a smile that almost did not exist, spread across his colorless features. His lips were a bit chapped and it was as if he was not meant to smile, but he smiled very faintly. "I didn't mean to hurt you Nicky. I just had to get away. I can't explain all my reasons, I just had to get away."

"No... I'm fine..." although that was a complete lie, telling himself he was fine was one of the only two ways he'd made it through this long period of time. Hoping to see Nicky again and telling himself he was fine were the only two ways. Optimism and Nicky was all he had, and he had only partially had Nicky because all he had of her was a memory. He didn't have her there to hold in his arms. She gently touched around his eyes and he flinched again. It was not because he was scared of her, but just because too many things had hurt him, and he wasn't used to a gentle hand like hers. He'd been hit too many times to not flinch when someone touches his face. "A lot of things cause them Nicky. A lot of bad things caused them. You... You were the one thing that kept me alive so nights." he said quietly, hugging her very gently.

[Zoey]

Nicky sighed moaing soflty as he pulled her closer. She wanted him so bad she blushed again. She should really not be thinking these things. It was not very lady like. It hurt as he winced when she touched his eyes. Someone had hurt him and that made her own hadns clench in fists. She would kill anyone who harmed him. She kissed his lips again soflty You don't have to explain...just stay with me please. I don't think i can handle you leaving me again. She admited dropping her head. She was still on his lap and she traced his hops and his legs with her hands. She aws so confused and nervous. She really did not want him gone. Looking back up tears were in her eyes Because i really love you. She choked putting a hand to her mouth.

Nicky could not cry in front of him. She made an angry look trying to hold in her tears. Her whole body trembled from the effort. She thought she had it in when he said that she was the only one who kept him alove. She cried out hugging him tightly Hannibal..I love you. she cried gripping his shoulder as she cried. She was being a blubbery baby and she hated it..but he felt so good she couldnt stop. Sniffing she was quiet but her tears still fell. He seemed so tense that she sat up wiping her eyes Im sorry. she whispered seeing her mascara on her hand. Looking down her shoulders slumped. She was a wreck and needed some glue to put her back together. Hannibal was the glue.

Gripping his legs her voice came out hoarse and very low Wanna go somewhere more private? please.. Her voice was begging. Nicky was even afraid to blink for cause that he might be gone once her eyes open again. He looked hot as fuck and here she was in a white dress a crying wreck. Wanting him to forgive her she took his hand bringing it to her lips kissing it I just...missed you so much..dear god am i talking to much? She blurted the ending looking tino his eyes. Hers were all red and the tears were still falling rarely but overall the emotional part was over. Same old sameold..she had barely changed. The only part different was her broken heart...but seing him had given her hope..should she wish for even that?

[Hannibal Casry]

Seeing Nicky was like a new excuse to live. He hadn't seen her in forever it seemed and now here he was, holding her close and kissing her. God he missed her so much. Nicky was more important to Hannibal then anything else in the world. He loved her more then anything and he wished that he hadn't needed to leave. It was just there was so much going on that he couldn't stay, and he wished that it could be only Nicky and him. Together forever without anything stopping them. Now hopefully there would be no problems. Their lips met again and he leaned into the kiss, loving the gentle feeling. "Don't cry Nicky. You're gonna make me cry." He said, stroking her face with a gentle hand. "I won't leave you again. I'm so sorry that I did in the first place. I wouldn't be able to survive without you."

"I love you too." He said in hoarse tones, holding her tightly as she cried. He wished that she wouldn't cry, but he couldn't blame her. She must have been through more then he could ever understand when he just left her like he had. He would be the same way if she had just left him on day without a notice. "No need to be sorry Nicky. I'm here for you now. I know those words almost can't be trusted, but I am here." He felt so bad for making her cry like this. He knew she didn't like to cry, hell no one liked to cry, but all this made her so sad and afraid. He didn't want her to feel like that anymore. He was here now.

"That sounds better, I am about to beat those guys' faces in if they don't stop staring." he said with a bit of humor in his voice, but also quite a bit of seriousness. Some were just staring and another was staring at Nicky the wrong way and Hannibal was going to gouge his eyes out with a rusty spoon if he didn't stop... and trust me, when Hannibal needed a rusty spoon he'd find one somewhere... She then asked if she was talking too much, and Hannibal let his fingers trace her jaw line. "It's fine. I love hearing your voice." he said in his hoarse tones as he kissed her lips once more and looked into her now red eyes. His brown eyes were dark and held a lot of new secrets of this time away from her, but they were still as soft and as loving as they always were deep down inside. He pulled his jacket off his shoulders and draped it over hers before holding her in his arms again. "Where are we headed?" he asked quietly.


-Umm dunno where you want them to go...-

[Zoey]

((well lets just stay in this post but they can go to her house lol))

Nicky felt him kiss her back and sniffed rubbing her soar eys. She kenw he hated to se her cry and she met his eyes sight when he asked her not to cry because he might. That made her smile but her lip was still trembling. Im sorry. She whispered. When his fingers traced her jawline she closed her eyes hearing him say he loved her again. She could lsiten to him talk all night. Meeting his eyessight her frown was gone and a nuetral look was on her face. His eyes still had the new secrets look..but when she looked hard enough she saw the loving and caring Hannibal she fell in love with. Laughing she shook her head Hwo can you love hearing my voice? Its awful. Her voice kept breaking from emotion and she felt like an idiot.

As he draped his jacket around her she huddled agasint him seeing where he was looking. Hannibal seemed to beglaring at a man who was looking at her in a wrong way. Shivering she sighed My house? Its probably still messy but...i just want to be with you. She admitted and got up grasping his hand as the guy looked her up and down. Rolling her eyes she puled him to the door purposly stepping on the man's foot with her high heel. He growled glaring at her but then swigged his beer seeing Hannibal grumbling and cursing to himself. She walked out the door with him moving closer as it was raining and she was still freezing and tembling. My car is over there. She inclined her head to a black chev truck and gently pulled him to it.

Getting in she put on her seatbelt and just sat there for a minute staring at the wheel. Thanks....I trust you. She said as he promised never to leave her again. Holding in her tears she quickly started the truck taking a breath of relief as it started. Grasping his hand and the wheel with the other hand she started to her hosue not saying a word. The weather was awful for driving but she was barely conecentrating. she kewn this route blindfolded. Her mind was only focused on the warmth of his hand in hers. Stopping in front of her house she got out and walked with him to her house unlocking it. Welcomeback. She breathed and held his jacekt close to her walking in. The house was pretty much the same. Less messy as before...that was only because she had more free time to clean now that he was gone. Pulling his hands she stood with him in the middle of the kitchen moving closer I never was desert was I? She whispered

[LazyHannibal]

"It's not awful. It's gentle and easy to listen to. You're not yelling at me, or ordering me around. Sure it sounds a little rough right now, but it's nothing that won't soon return to normal." He replied, his pale features holding a small smile. His own voice wasn't the easiest to listen to either, his tones were hoarse and very soft compared to his usually loud and happy sounding vocals. He lost his voice easily though. Whether he goes to a theme park and screams too much on roller coasters, or gets the shit scared out of him at a haunted attraction, he'll loose his voice without much effort. Hell, too much arguing and he'll loose his voice.... The smile didn’t leave his lips as he looked into Nicky's eyes. They were soft, and calm at the moment, there was no look that held secrets within like his own eyes. There were circles under them like his, and they were still a bit red from crying, but hopefully things would get better. There would be no crying, and the two of them would try and get some sleep... whether or not that happened hadn't been decided yet.

"Ahh, messy is fine, as long as I'm with you nothing else in the world matters to me." He said in gentle, but hoarse tones as she huddled against him. His eyes still glared at the other man, and he didn't remove his eyes from her. Yes, Nicky looked fine as always, but her dress attracted a little too much attention from others. Hannibal adored the dress. It was cuter and shoed off her best features, but everyone else seemed to think that as well. He gently laced his fingers with hers and laid some money on the table for the waitress as he got up and walked with Nicky. Hannibal glared at the man, but laughed softly as Nicky stepped on his foot with her heels. That killed, he knew from experience. The two walked outside, and a shiver ran down his body for a brief second, but he held Nicky close. She had to be colder then h was in that dress of hers. He smiled slightly and followed her to the car as she pulled him. "No need to pull. I'll follow willingly." he whispered in her ear as they walked together toward the black truck.

He got in on the other side and pulled the seat belt over his body, but shifted a bit and moved the shoulder strap behind him so the only strap went over his lap. The shoulder one rubbed against a sore spot and he didn't want it there. She took his hand as well as the wheel and he listened to her. Hannibal was glad she trusted him, but didn't know if she should. Hannibal's dark eyes gazed out the window the whole time they were driving. He didn't say anything, just looked out the window. He never knew what to say to break the silence between them, so he looked upon the familiar houses as they went by. His heart wrenched as he thought of his dog, left at Jordan's house. He didn't want to go there to get Chance, but the pup must have missed him since Jordan had him for so long.

His mind was switched to other things as they stopped in front of her house. He walked with her and together they walked back into the house, and it was a familiar sight for sore eyes. Such a better place to be then where he's been. He kept his hands with hers and looked around a bit before following her to the kitchen again, where they stood in the middle. He kept Nicky close, and gently kissed her jaw, and then her lips. He leaned his forehead to hers and looked into her eyes. There was a playful sort of look to them, and a happy sort of look, but still there were many things that hid within them. A faint smile dressed his pale features as he spoke. "No, I don't think you ever were... but I'm in the mood for dessert if you are." he said with a smile and kissed her deeply, their lips meeting once more. He still held her hands, and dropped them to her side, keeping his fingers laced with hers. "I missed you so much..." he whispered into her ear.

[Zoey]

Smiling she looked around. Really? She asked as he said messy is what he wanted as long as he was with her. Her house was a mess. She had not even a dog. Smiling she thoguht of Chance..but then frowned. Nicky had tried so dam hard to get that dog to like her. Looking at him as he kissed her jaw she clsoed her eyes kissing his lips moaning soflty as he kised down her throat saying those words Im always in the mood. She whispered back moving back agasint the counter as he kissed her and put here hadns at her side. He was so gentle and she brought her hand up to his chin so she could kiss down his throat. Gently she put her hand under his shirt. She was afraid he might have a sore spot or something she would touch.

Her dress was tight so she adjusted agasint the bak of the counter. Hannibal...i missed you too. She whispered kissing his ear and her hadns undid his shirt. She looked at him finally running her hands over the bruises wincing This is always what you look like...why cant anyone be nice to you...i dont deserve you. She whispered and grasped his face gently in her soft hands making him look at her. Hannibal was a living angel. He was gorgeous, strong and so sweet if he had wings he would be the whole deal. She had missed him for so long and her heart wrenched as he stood before her beaten and worn down. Puling his face to hers she kissed him with moer passion than in the past. Tears fell down her cheeks as she kissed him hungrily her hands on his belt.

Love me Hannibal..Im tired of missing you. She whimpered licking her lips looking into his eyes again. The glint of love was present and she wished she could just breathe it in abosorbing it. Truly, she wanted to kick whos ever ass had even hurt his feeling by saying soemthing wrong. Some guy or chick who had not gicen into his lovely character. She wondered if he had gone for a new boyfriend and the thoguht made her eyes sad. It was his life...but she was just dam glad he was back with her and not off getting hurt. Biting her lip she kissed down his neck and his now bare chest smiling. He looked the same and she loved it. Her eyes had memoriezed every curve but now there was new bruises to be careful of. She would die if she hurt him so all her movements were very gentle and soft. Afraid he would all of a sudden disaoear she reached behind her and grabbed something. Frowning she pulled it back and saw it was...oh god. Whipped cream? Laughing she looked at it I think were getting a hint. She teased taking the lid off putting some on her finger then putting it on his nose. Gently she kissed it off licking ehr finger I was wrong..your much better tasting this way Her laughed echoed in the silent house making a wamr enviornment. God she wanted him..so bad.

[Hannibal Casry]

Hannibal let his hands rest on Nicky's hips as she undid his shirt and the words left her mouth. Words that he'd heard before and that he'd refuse to say yes to. She was perfect and it sdeemed that they were a perfect match. No matter how she thought she didn't deserve him, which made absolutely no sense what so ever because she was way more reliable then Hannibal had ever been, she deserved the best she could get, and if that was Hannibal then she could have him. He would never reject her. "I don't know how you can say you don't deserve me, I'm not near the best thing and you deserve the best in the world." As for people never being nice to him, he made no comments. It was true, but he couldn't come up with an answer for that.

She gently grabbed his face and made him look at her. His eyes watched her carefully as she searched his features, gently holding his face in place so he didn't look away. She pulled his face close and their lips met in a passionate kiss, and he could feel the tears fall down her cheeks. He gently raised his hands to her face and brushed the tears away with his thumbs. He didn't know why she was crying, but he didn't want her to cry. "I do love you Nicky. I love you with all my heart." he said, holding her face in his gentle hands as he looked into her eyes. His eyes were different, but they held that true love for her. He loved Nicky more then anyone he'd ever thoguht he loved. He's never felt this way about anyone as strong as he felt for her. He's thought hes been in love before, but now that he knew what love felt like, he knew he's never been in love.

He moaned softly as she kissed down his neck and then his bare chest. He hated looking the way he did with all the different brusies he had, but none of them really mattered to her. She still saw through his outside layer. He smiled as she reached behind her and pulled out whipped cream. "Wow... Of all things that could have been behind you, you picked out whipped cream..." he said with a very faint smirk showing on his pale features. She then put some on his nose and took it off. He laughed as she said he tasted better this way. "What are you saying, I tatse bad to begin with? That's not very nice." he asked as he eased the bottle from her hand and leaned on of his hands against the counter as he looked at the can for a moment. He squirted some on his tongue and a little extra squirted out onto her neck. He trailed kisses down her neck and licked off the whipped cream. "Mmmm... I picked a good choice for dessert." he said with a smile.

[Zoey]

Her face was lifted by his gentle hand as his thumb erased her tear. When he said he erally loved her she smiled her lips trembling only a bit. She could tell his words were sincere and that made her heart want to leap from her chest. SCoffing at his words she trailed ehr finger down his chest No you are the only thing in the world i treasure. Her words were a whisper and she looked as he took the whipped cream from her hands Hey i was not done with that! She laughed as he put some on her tongue and some on her neck. Confused by his actions she awtched as he ksised her neck gasping in pleasure gripping the counter I-I guess you did. A moan escpaed her throat as her legs crossed and she moved up onto the counter.

His hands trailed down her sides and she ran her hands over his back trying to grasp the whipped cream Hey thats no fair! She laughed kissing the some on the corner of his mouth and nipped his chin I thought I found it so..finders keepers? nicky's eyes were bright with laughter again and joy. She had not felt like this since she had first met Hannibal. If he left ehr again she would probably die from it. Pushing that thouht aside she ran her cool hands up and down his chest grinning devishly So you are still hungry? Her words were husky and she pulled off the rest of his shirt her eyes widening along with her grin. He raelly did have a prefect body. While she admired his body she grimaced. Hers was probably horrible to him.

Pushing him back grining she jumped off the counter and put her hands on her hips Well that was good...kitchens arent as good as showers though..remeber? She teased playing with his belt. Her eyes looked at the floor and she let out a deep breath How come im fully dressed still? She pouted and looked up at his angelic face. At least he was smiling back at her. Nicky loved his smile. It was so warm and full of love. Grinning she tok his hand tightly kissing it then pulled him to the stairs Oh right..you will follow willingly? She laughed as she took both his hadns dancing up the stairs. Her hips moved to her imaginary eat as they slowly crawled clsoer to the upper level. Her eyes danced with msichef

"Hmm, two things I treasure are you and this can of whipped cream." he said with a small smile and squirted some more of it at her and smiled as she gasped. He loved being aroud Nicky. she was more fun then anyone he knew and he loved that a lot. Someone who had a good personality wasd definitly high up on the want list. "Oh yes, you're done with it now because I have the can." he said with a smirk and watched as she pulled herself up onto the counter and then trailed her hands up his back. "Nope, I'm taller then you so I get it now. Doesn't matter who found it, what matter's is who can keep it." he said with a cheeky smile.

He shivered slightly and a moan escaped his vocals as her coo lhands ran up and down his body. Then words escaped her mouth and he grinned. "Of course. You?" he asked with a smirk and shurgged off his shirt. He didn't feel like he was very appealing, but her eyes showed otherwise as they trailed over his torso. He was in shape without a doubt, but the bruises were usually very hard to look at. Though he knew Nicky didn't care about it, soemtimes it still shocked him.

"Oh yes, showers are very fun. I don't recall we've ever finished one though." he said with a smile as she hoped down from the counter and looked up to his face. She uplled him along and there was no hesitation as he held onto her hands. "You lead, I'll follow." he said with a big cheeky grin as she pulled him up the stairs. Her figure danced to a beat that only her ears could hear. "Where are we headed?" he asked with a grin.
