@hauntsallmywhatifs​ sent “ i didn’t want you to be alone. “ (malcolm from madelaine :) )

“I’m not.” Malcolm begins, a half-forced smile curling the corners of his lips upwards. Truth is, he feels alone more often than not. Like no one understands this or him and he’s trapped in a cage of his own making, in his own mind.

It gets lonely and exhausting and sad.

But, then she comes into his life, shows up when he needs her most and suddenly he doesn’t feel so alone anymore. “Not with you here.”

@mischiefxmanagcd​ sent ❛❛ Lay your head in my lap and try to get some rest. ❜❜ derek to malcolm

“I’m not sure I could get some rest even if I wanted too.” Malcolm says but, still, he lays down across the couch, with his head in Derek’s lap. It’s a comfort for him and after a long day, it’s exactly what he needs. There is something haunting him - Ainsley, specifically. When will Derek find out what they did? Why didn’t he just go to the police? It had been self defense - or, at the very least, he could have argued that.

@indeliblymarred​ sent ‘ everything okay? ’ from Zeller for Malcolm

Everything okay?

No, nothing’s okay. It hasn’t been for a while - ever since his serial killer father has come back into his life. Things have gone to hell, between the girl in the box and the thing going on with Ainsley (they’d wrote it off as self-defense but Malcolm doesn’t know if people believe them). She’s not....the Ainsley he once knew. Killing someone changes you and especially in such a brutal way. Not to mention - she hadn’t even been aware of what she’s done.

He’s WORRIED because if Ainsley doesn’t remember it then what does that mean for her? Is she becoming like their father or will getting some help be good for her? Everyone had always thought HE would become like his father but what if Ainsley does?

Silence stretches on for too long before Malcolm realizes he hasn’t given an answer. Deep breath in, deep breath out. “Everything’s fine. I’ve just....got a lot on my mind.”

@montanamiracle​ sent " i don't hate you. god, i could never hate you... " (For Malcolm)​

It’s a relief to hear that she doesn’t hate him - if it were him, he would certainly hate himself (not that he doesn’t already for what he’s done). While she doesn’t know what he’s done, he has been acting STRANGE. Off. She must have noticed it and he REFUSES to talk about it - which is why he said he’d understood if one day she turned out to hate him because he’s being so SECRETIVE.

“Good...goood, I’m glad you don’t hate me. I just - I can’t tell you what happened, alright? It’s got nothing to do with you and I just can’t talk about it yet, I’m sorry.” Make it sound like a trauma thing and not what it really is, Malcolm. Then again, the entire thing had been traumatic either way so it’s not exactly a lie.

@mischiefxmanagcd​ sent ❛ you do have a way of finding trouble. ❜ (derek to malcolm)

“Comes with the job.” That’s his excuse, anyway. A poor one at that considering Derek is a profiler himself and doesn’t get hurt as much as Malcolm does. Which says a lot considering Derek’s job is worldwide and Malcolm’s is based in New York City.

Derek’s wrapping his ribs up, he’d suffered a rib fracture and refuses to go to the hospital and so Derek had promised to get him all fixed up. “I swear, I don’t go looking for it. Trouble just sort of always finds me.”

@prosewrote​ sent “Each of my thoughts about you are improper.” / Young!Hannibal for Malcolm !

This isn’t the proper paitent-doctor relationship. Malcolm itches to go back to his childhood doctor but she’s out of the office for a few months, something about an vacation, and so he’s stuck with this man. They’ve come to bond over the time they’ve spent together and there are sparks there that can’t be denied.

There is something alluring and dangerous about this man - he can’t figure it out, what this man is hiding, but he’s enchanting, like he’s got him under some kind of spell because Hannibal isn’t the only one with imprope thoughts. “Tell me about them, Doctor.”

@magicandmayhcm​ sent "Listen, asshole. I'm gonna carry you home whether you like it or not. You're not in any condition to get there yourself." Morgan to Malcolm

He doesn’t like being vulnerable like this. All Malcolm’s life he has smiled through the pain, always refusing to acknowledge how bad it is. Even when he’s covered in blood and limping from what he can only guess is either the bruises or the sprained foot, he insists that he’s fine. That he can make it back home himself.

Morgan seems to know better than to get him to go to the hospital and unfortantely for Malcolm, he scoops him up into his arm. A grunt of protest is given and Malcolm squirms in his grip to try and get down. “Derek. Let me go.”

But the man’s grip is strong and then he’s telling him that he’s going to carry him home no matter what. It makes him groan again in fustration before his body is going still - there’s no point in fighting with the man, not when he’ll just win anyway. Malcolm knows when to give up and he doesn’t exactly have the energy to keep fighting. “Fine.”
