“Will? Are we going to discuss this?”

He refused to turn around, still shaken, and closed his eyes despite the dark.

“No.”

“You had another nightmare.”

“I know.”

“You,” Hannibal whispered, putting his hand on Will’s back, “Spoke my name rather loudly. The dog was…”

“It’s just a dream, Hannibal,” he mumbled, “Go back to sleep.”

“You are aware that we share the same bed and I am not going to be settled until I know what the cause of these recurring nightmares are. I thought...we’ve been doing rather well.”

He sighed and reached back for his hand. Hannibal intertwined their fingers and Will’s eyes grew wet. “It’s been four years and you still….?”

Hannibal moved in close to Will’s back and wrapped an arm around him. “You’ve only been plagued by these night terrors for a week. You haven’t had any unhappy dreams since…”

Will laughed. “That first week. I think you pretty much slept outside my door for a while there.”

“I did no such thing.”

He breathed in the familiar scent of Hannibal and felt the images that had just terrorized him melt away. “You did, but it’s okay. I’ll pretend.”

Hannibal kissed his cheek. “Will.”

“Jack,” Will said softly, “It was about Jack. He found us and....”

“...took is in.”

“Me,” Will whispered, “He took me.”

The silence he got in answer was long enough for a tear to fall down Will’s cheek.

“I see.”

“Not that I’d ever think he could….”

“How long have you been afraid of us being caught?”

Will thought for a moment.

“What year is it again?”

“Two thousand and nineteen.”

“Not right away,” he admitted, “We never stayed anywhere for very long until….”

“Cuba.”

“And I love it here,” Will said, “I just...staying still makes it harder to run. I can’t...won’t...lose you.”

Hannibal turned him onto his back and Will could hardly see him but didn’t have to since he’d long ago memorized Hannibal’s face to embarrassing detail. “I am not going anywhere nor are you. The dogs, the house, and every aspect of our lives here is safe. I promise you.”

He kissed Will’s tear stained cheek.

“You don’t know that.”

“I do.”  

“All it takes is one mistake.”

“That we won’t make.”

“We---”

Hannibal put his fingers over Will’s lips. “How about this? Let us make every moment until then last. Hold back nothing, give each other everything, and love like we’re running out of time.”

Will pushed his fingers away. “Haven’t we been already?”

“I haven’t,” Hannibal admitted and moved in so close Will felt breath on his lips, “Though if you have….I think I have some catching up to to.”

Will grinned. “I guess you do.”

“Prepare yourself.”

Will put a hand on his cheek. “I can’t wait.”

Spicy Ramen

Amara walks down the hangar stairs towards Cayde’s workstation. In her hand is a Ramen coupon ‘Valid for one free bowl of ramen with a side of gyoza.’ She turns it over again, re-checking the date on the back. 

“This expired decades ago...” Amara mumbles to herself, still confused over the slip of paper. 

“Hey ‘Mara. What’s up!” Cayde calls to her as she slowly made her way over. 

“Do you know what,” She holds up the slip of paper to the Exo as she reaches him, “...this is?”

His blue optics narrow as he stares, reading, his eyes then lighting up as he realizes what it is.

“Oooh. Haven't gotten one of those in...a while...like, a long, long while.”

Amara reads the date on the back one more time, just making sure. “Yeah...maybe like decades ago? I figured you of all people would know why I was randomly given this at the Ramen shop.”

“Nope. No clue.” Cayde shrugs, “But damn, now I want lunch.”

Amara rolls her eyes, still staring at the coupon.

“So...what the hell am I supposed to do with this?” She asked, receiving no answer or quip from the Exo. She looked up to see he was gone, no doubt grabbing himself lunch.

You can ponder on the past and You can fear the future, but as far as time is concerned, Our only existence is now and this you can confirm. Make the best of life, because Every second we're reborn. and Right now is our reform.
