It had been a good month since you’d discovered the symbiote and not even a week since you’ve accepted your fate with being its host.
‘Let me help you’ the symbiote chuckled, its voice echoing through your mind as it observed your struggle with the stubborn jar. “Shut up” you grumbled, more than a bit annoyed that the symbiote was finding amusement in your predicament.
“I’ll beat this damn thing open if I have to” you muttered, eyes narrowing in determination as the symbiote gave a very clear snort. ‘You’ll hurt yourself’ it cooed, its signature black goo gently coating your arms as it pried the lid free from the jar.
‘You’re welcome’ it purred, retreating further up your figure until it was snuggly resting around your neck. Rolling your eyes in defeat, you pried a small piece of chocolate from the now opened jar, offering it to the smug symbiote.
‘For me?’ it questioned as if perplexed with the offering of its favorite sweet.”Of course, you goober” you chuckled, smiling as it slowly accepted the chocolate, humming happily as it did so. “You’re my wonderful little helper, aren’t you?” you teased, snorting as it grumbled a ‘yes’.
When people think of ‘symbiote’ they think of a violent organism that attacks in a moment’s notice, but you knew different, especially given how said organism was a purring lump on your stomach, producing heat much like a heating pad, refusing to let you move.
Looking back now, you wonder why you didn’t accept it sooner.
When they both told you this before, you burst out laughing, calling it a “creepy Edward Cullen move.” However, you didn’t actually scold at them to stop, and so Venom never stopped watching you.
As much as it liked its host, Eddie didn’t like to leave the symbiote alone with you. He thinks that it would hurt you. No, no, anything but that. If Eddie loved you, Venom believed it could like you just as well. But Eddie won’t take such a chance, and so, Venom settles for night.
At night time, it’s much easier to be with you. At night, Venom had you all to itself.
For instance, right now. You’re sleeping so soundly beside them. Your eyes are shut serenely and your mouth is slightly ajar. You breathe at a steady and rhythmic pace, slowly and heavily. Venom still can’t get used to the idea that another life form would be willing to sleep next to them. It wished it could talk to you, ask why you stayed despite it being a parasite in Eddie’s life.
Venom crawls over Eddie’s right arm. It transforms into a gnarled and humongous clawed hand. Each talon is the size of a knife blade, designed with the intent to rip flesh into shreds. Keeping this in mind, Venom tenderly traces your hair line.
You stir. making a small sound in your sleep.
Venom immediately withdraws. Did it hurt you? It waits, tensely watching you. A sleepy curl of a smile appears on your lips. Unconsciously, you roll over into their arms, snuggling into their chest. You then return to your heavy and even breathing.
They’re at awe. You’re in their arms right now, so trusting and unknowing. Venom can count the thousands of ways it has slaughtered in the past. Its hands were made for killing, after all. But here you are, a strange and wonderous life form, lying asleep besides it.
Venom slowly puts its arms around you, and pulls you closer. Quietly, it covers Eddie’s unconscious form. In a matter of a few seconds, Eddie’s stocky body is transformed into a hulking mass of oily muscle. Gently, Venom secures you in its arms.
Maybe for just one night, it’ll have you all to itself.

You couldn’t help the snicker that fell past your lips when you first saw Eddie sprayed against the living room wall. In the beginning, when you had first started seeing him, you would’ve thought that this bizarre behavior should’ve given him a one-way ticket into an insane asylum. But you soon figured out that the reasoning behind all of this was Venom, the alien symbiote, or parasite as Eddie often called him. So now, whenever you found Eddie in an oddly, almost compromising situation you most likely knew that the two had had an argument, or something of the sort.
“Oh, stop laughing and help me or something would you.” You watched with amusement in your eyes as Eddie barely managed to move his head to focus on you. His arms were spread out wide, glued to the wall of his apartment as his legs too were stuck against the wall. He tried his hardest to remove his right arm from the wall, but just as it was maybe half a foot away from the wall a thick, black liquid shot out from his arm and latched on to the wall again. “Come on, man! Just let up already— will you stop taking pictures and help me, y/n?!”
“This is why we don’t leave you two alone.” You let out a snort as you shoved your phone back into your pocket, a faint smirk forming on your lips as you stepped closer to the man stuck to the wall. “Come on, V, let him go already.”
Within seconds a long strand of the black, oil like substance crawled up Eddie’s back and appeared on his left shoulder. The substance begsnvto form what appeared to be a head, and soon, large, jagged teeth formed a sinister smile as two large white holes appeared in the middle of the goo. You placed your hands against your hips as the alien narrowed his eyes, a small snark coming from him. HE DESERVES THIS. came Venom’s reply, quickly followed by his slithering tongue darting out to run over his large teeth. HE DOES NOT LISTEN WELL.
“I’m literally right here, Venom!” Eddie let his head fall against the textured wall as he let out a sigh, and once again you snickered before patting his cheek affectionately. “Can you like.. bribe ‘em or something?”
“Sorry, babe,” You shook your head a bit after pressing against your toes to place a kiss against his cheek. Stuffing your hands into the pockets or your jacket, you shrugged before taking a step back to take one last look at the very amusing situation. “V could kill me if he wanted, though I know he won’t. Also, this is all very amusing.” To prove your point, you pulled your phone out once again to flash a quick photo of Eddie and his situation, to which the man groaned as he tried to free himself from the wall again. “Good luck getting out of this one.”
listen I know that venom isn’t technically in the MCU but I can’t stop thinking about Grown Adult Eddie Brock meeting High Schooler Peter Parker in the Avengers for the first time and not having any bad history with him and just immediately adopting him????
After co-existing with the symbiote for so long, you’d expect to learn a few things, mainly: it was an absolute heathen for chocolate
You’d lost count of how many times you’d try to hide secret stashes in cupboards and drawers, only to nearly cry in defeat when a little black blob of goo would purr and grumble as it nibbled on what chocolate it could find
It took a will of steel to refuse the little buggar when you actually managed to covet a piece long enough for yourself to enjoy, though you did have to admit the symbiote had ‘puppy-eyes’ nailed down to a goddamn science
“I’m not giving you any chocolate, this piece is mine, you’ve already inhaled yours like the heathen you are” you hissed, glaring down at the pile of goop grumbling on your stomach
’Want’ its deep voice echoed, a rugged purr quickly followed, the same purr it used when it tried its best to persuade you into things you’d much rather /not/ do
“No”
The symbiote seemed to actually melt as it pouted, giving an occasional ’huff’ to let you know it was pouting and probably wouldn’t stop until you gave it even a bite of your chocolate
Groaning in defeat, you broke off a tiny piece before offering it to the symbiote, rolling your eyes as it quickly reformed, little goopy ‘arms’ -as you called them- reaching forward to gently grasp the chocolate from you before literally inhaling it
