Failed Twitter Attempts - Hannigram A/B/O AU: Where You Belong
Will never meant to become a nanny.
Betas were not known for their paternal instincts, normally assigned blue collar jobs that filled their days with hard work and little pay. But the flier at the grocery store caught his eye and the rest was history.
ARE YOU AGED 18-35 LOOKING FOR A JOB? CALL 1-800-8475 WE NEED YOU!
It sounded like a scam right off the bat, some sort of scheme to lure younger people into something sinister, but the woman on the other end of the phone sounded sincere.
He sighed. “Yeah, so any sort of job you have going I can probably do.”
“Hmm…have you ever…looked after children before?”
Will hadn’t, but he lied, and his first job, Missy Bennett, was a disaster.
He didn’t know jack of shit about kids, and Missy was a terror that could not be calmed.
The agency tried three more kids before that, and Will realized he just wasn’t cut out for this type of work.
Though on the fourth try that year somehow he was assigned to the Lecter household.
Hannibal Lecter had fired six others before him, all omegas, and Will came into the interview not expecting to be hired. The house, if you wanted to call it that but really the place could be considered a castle, shined and glittered as he sat across from Omega who seemed very little like an omega.
He was bigger than most, it was obvious he liked expensive pretty things, and his scent was sweet like most omegas were. But he just didn’t seem like one.
“I see you’ve had similar troubles like I have,” Hannibal said, smiling, “Not compatible with your previous employers?”
Will sighed. “I…can I be honest?”
“I started this job because I had no other choice,” he said, falling back in his chair, “I’m…not really all that good with kids, and I think if this doesn’t work out I’ll just go back to working in the lumber yard. Betas don’t usually—”
Will turned and saw a little blonde haired girl peek out of the sliding doors that Hannibal had closed in the study. He felt an odd jolt to his heart at the sight of her.
She looked very much like her father.
“Desdemona,” Hannibal sighed, standing as he walked over, “I told you to stay in your room, Darling. Daddy has to–”
Desdemona met him halfway, grabbing his legs, and looked at Will.
“Are you gonna be my new nanny?”
“This is Will, Darling,” Hannibal said, “Do you like him?”
Desdemona smiled. “He’s pretty.”
Hannibal smiled. “He is quite handsome, yes,” he said, making Will blush harder, though that is not what I asked.“
"Will he be mean like Miss Hunter?”
Will frowned. “No,” he said, standing and kneeling down in front of her, “I won’t be. Was she mean to you?”
Desdemona nodded. “Yes. She hid my toys and made me stay in my room. She wanted time with Daddy.”
Will looked up at Hannibal. “An omega?”
“No,” Hannibal said, his gaze darkening, “An alpha in disguise. I’ve only had ONE omega come here who left because of a spontaneous mating. The others…were looking to be mated themselves.”
Will shook his head. “That’s…the agency should’ve looked into that.”
He looked at Desdemona. “I’m not like those others,” he promised, “Betas…they’re not…we’re not…like that.”
She smiled. “Do you want to see my Doggy?”
Will’s eyes widened. “You have a dog?”
“Yes, he’s…quite unruly.”
He stood, wiped his pantlegs, and smiled at Hannibal. “I’m good with dogs,” he said, “I…actually have one myself. If I come to stay, I’d…”
Hannibal reached for his hand and Will shivered.
“Would you like to come stay with us?”
He felt his heart beat faster.
This wasn’t…he couldn’t feel something like this.
Will looked at Hannibal’s daughter, her almost crimson eyes staring up at him in a hopeful way that only made him feel worse.
“Yes,” he said, “I…I think I’d like to help out. If Desi will have me.”
Desdemona laughed. “Desi! Daddy doesn’t like nicknames.”
Will smiled at her. “No?”
Hannibal shook Will’s hand and they stared at each other.
“I think…I can make an exception. Welcome home, Will.”
