Will was looking so tired and worn out lately.

Hannibal frowned at the thought, not liking the images it brought to his mind. He didn't want to see his fiancé feeling so tired and stressed.

Of course, it was probably inevitable, with all of the strain over the wedding plans. Even though the event was still a few months away, Will was already worrying over it far too much. Hannibal felt that the younger man was trying to take too much responsibility on himself.

He had told Will over and over again to let professionals handle most of the work, but Will wanted their wedding to have more of a personal touch.

He couldn't blame his fiancé for that.

He liked the idea of a personal touch himself, but still, he wasn't going to let Will run himself into the ground with trying to do his job and plan their wedding at the same time.

Hannibal watched silently as Will ran a hand through his hair, looking distracted and frustrated. A slow smile spread over his face as he thought; he was almost certain that he knew a way to take Will's mind off the wedding planning, and to put a bloom back into his pale cheeks.

Getting up from his chair, he went to stand behind Will, placing his hands on the younger man's shoulders and starting to knead the knotted muscles there.

Will leaned back in the chair, looking up at him with a smile. When he did so, Hannibal bent to kiss him, his lips barely touching Will's at first.

But within moments, the kiss grew harder, deeper. It became less of a simple kiss, and more of a caress. Their lips touched and clung, neither of them wanting the kiss to end, both of them trying to prolong the intimate contact for as long as they possibly could before breaking away.

When they finally came up for air, Will's blue eyes were wide, and there was indeed a flush in his cheeks. Mission accomplished, Hannibal thought with some satisfaction.

It was amazing what one simple kiss could do.

Though that kiss had been anything but simple, he told himself with an inward smile. It had been a precursor to more, to all that they would do later tonight.

Will got to his feet, turning to Hannibal and sliding his arms around his lover's waist. "I think I've had enough of trying to put together wedding plans for tonight," he said softly, nuzzling the other man's cheek with his own. "What do you say we go upstairs and get ready for bed?"

"That sounds like a wonderful idea to me," Hannibal told him, his voice soft and husky. Taking Will's hand, he led the way to the stairs, turning off the lights as they went.

Oh yes, that one simple kiss would lead to much more before the night was over.
