Hannibal and you have been together for four months now and in that time, he's been nothing but a good, loyal, sweet, and caring partner. He truly loves you sincerely, he does not think that you are below him but his equal, which had never happened to him before with anyone. He made space for you in his house because he likes it when you sleep over at his place or he at yours.
Before the relationship, you were friends for two years. For those two years he wanted you like crazy and didn't give up until he made you his. It may sound like a little time but you and he "clicked" and knew you were meant to be together. That's why since you've been together, you've never slept apart. He loves to wake up and lie down with you, holding you in his arms. However, Hannibal is only hiding one thing from you and the others. That he is the Chesapeake Ripper. He's also somehow managed to hide from you how obsessed and possessive he really is for you. Well, until this moment.
You came home crying and bloody. A drunk man attacked you, you managed to escape from him and get only cut on your arm with a broken bottle, nothing else. That's the moment when Hannibal's facade cracked and fell. He couldn't pretend to be a calm person anymore when he saw that someone dared to hurt you who were his everything. His love.
You couldn't ignore the chill that ran down your spine when you saw the feral look in his eyes as he began to breathe heavily and clench his jaw. Somehow he managed to control himself enough to clean the wound on your arm, remove any shards of glass, apply ointment and bandage your arm. He carried you into your now shared bedroom of his house. He helped you into your pajamas and gave you painkillers. He also gave you a sleeping pill, he had to, because he wants to make sure you sleep soundly until he gets home later. Because Hannibal must go hunting.
After you fell asleep, he didn't waste another second and went to find the man who hurt you. He will make him slowly and painfully pay for what he did to you.
