I wish we would know more context about this scene. I believe Will didn't even call to announce that he was coming over. If he did then Hannibal would have had a great deal of time to change into something less casual. So I imagine Will just materialized in front of his door before going to work.
This is episode 5, it's pretty early and it just shows how comfortable they are with each other. Hannibal who is not taking his person suit in front of anyone, is wearing his bathrobe and his hair is messy and he looks very relaxed. It's probably 7 am and he doesn't mind having Will in his kitchen. He doesn't mind that Will sees him like that.
Cause Will sees already deeper than that. Listening to the way Will describes the Ripper was the proof that Will is the only person in the world who sees beyond his walls and suit.
And Will, Will doesn't have any friend and it doesn't seem like he has ever been close to someone. He is not sure what he did is socially acceptable (he excuses himself), this is something new for him and he is learning how this whole friendship thing works. But he was as well, comfortable enough with popping up on Hannibal's porch to talk about what's on bis mind.
And Hannibal listens. Hannibal makes coffee and listens.

A quiet evening in the library with Jayce and Sky. Everything is peaceful and maybe they're even happy

Early s3 in my hannibal rewatch and I cant stop thinking about what if hannibal or will had kissed one another at any point in mizumono, but especially as will was bleeding out in hannibals arms.
Hannibal, feeling wills blood drain out of him, hearing it, his shuddering breaths in his ear. Keeping him standing by the hold of his arms around him. Knowing he's saying goodbye so he kisses him, maybe on the cheek? It would probably be the least of Wills concerns in that moment, but it would leave as permanent an affect on his mind as the affect of the stab wound on his body.
Will, taking shaky breaths, barely standing were it not for hannibal, knowing he may never see him again, feeling the blood and the life drain out of him. Why keep up the facade in death? Its hitting him how different this could have ended. It could have ended in a way that allowed for more but it didn't, because will couldnt do the "right" thing. He has to turn his head only slightly for his lips to be against hannibals cheek. The motion a ghost of the future he denied them both.
Anyway I'm very normal about them.
