"Eddie..."
Sunlight filtered through the blinds into the room. There was no real need to wake up today, sleeping in is what weekends are for after all. It was a beautiful morning though and the symbiote was feeling particularly mushy.
"Wake up Eddie"
"Mmm V... good morning"
"Good morning Eddie no need to get up from the bed today"
He smiled looking at his grinning other. A lazy morning with his love sounded just as good if not better than sleeping in. Small tendrils came out to mess with his hair, caress his face and a few tangled up in his fingers as Venom situated himself on his chest.
He loved this so much, loved making Eddie smile like this, loved making him feel safe and cared for. He didn't always know how to express this, but he hoped Eddie could feel it through their bond.
"Hey there love, particularly quite today hm? Not hungry yet? Usually you're annoying me for breakfast by now."
He patted the little head where Venom lay on him, pulling him a little closer, quite mornings were a rarity in the Brock household. He would be a little concerned if he wasn't feeling the warmth and comfort Venom was sending his way.
"We are NOT annoying!"
"Mm I'm not quite sure about that bud."
"Not hungry yet, just want to spend time with you Eddie"
He had been busy lately, trying to put his life back together piece by piece. Knowing Venom missed spending time like this made his heart flutter.
"Aww V that's adorable! Would you mind coming outside for a bit?"
More tendrils came out, weaving into a solid humanoid torso complete with giant hands. Venom nuzzled into the crook of Eddie's neck letting out soft rumbles of pleasure.
Eddie chuckled, he was so proud of his other for letting their guard down and allowing him to see this side of them. It had taken them a while to get here, but together they figured it out.
"Eddie...we want to hold you."
Still holding onto their hand, he turned over, letting them hold him close. Not that he would ever admit it out loud, but Eddie loved being held by Venom like this, it felt safe and warm. Like home.
Thank you V
"No need to thank us Eddie, we like you like this."
"Mm"
They stayed like that for a while, the quite ticking of the alarm clock almost lulled him back to sleep. Suddenly he felt a little poke on the back of his neck, this turned into tiny licks down the side. Venom's hand drifted up from his belly towards his chest to lay over his heart.
" Can we kiss you Eddie?"
"Yes love"
Turning to face him, Eddie gently held his face and drew him closer until his lips met Venom's, their lips were similar to his but uniquely theirs. His hands slowly drifted lower as he caressed their arms, the kiss quickly becoming a little heated.
One of Venom's hands held Eddie's face and the other gripped at his shoulder. Slowly it moved downwards over his back, teasing touches just the way they liked. It settled on his lower back pulling Eddie impossibly closer.
"V...nmm"
Eddie was wide awake, grinding against Venom. The pressure was not enough to get him off but just enough to tease him. It was frustrating, Venom's hand on his back so close to where he wanted it to be.
"Come on V.. ah. You know what I want"
"We do know, but want to take it slow today."
Slow... Eddie wondered for a moment if today was something special. Neither of them were particularly patient so naturally, slow vanilla fucking wasn't really their thing. But switching things up once in a while did sound like a good idea.
okay, slow and vanilla. I can do that.
Gently, Venom pushed him to lie on his back.
"We didn't say vanilla Eddie. Just slooow."
Their hands smoothed down his sides while thick tendrils moved over to his arms holding them securely above his head. Two more ventured downwards lazily, folding his knees back and holding his thighs apart, completely exposing him.
"Fuck V, this..."
He tested his bounds, trying to close his legs. Being exposed like this was embarrassing . They didn't budge at all, firmly keeping him open. His cock twitched, stirring with the beginnings of an errection.
Venom leaned over him, their hands bracketing his head, tongue coming out to lick a strip from his neck to his cheek.
"Now now Eddie. You're going to be good for us right? staying just the way we kept you."
"Y-yes V."
"Good boy"
He squirmed, closing his eyes and turning his head away. he knew how old he was, being called something like that shouldn't turn him on as much as it did. He was half hard at this point from nothing but being tied and talked down to.
He felt Venom softly cradle his face, urging him to face them and open his eyes. When he did, he saw his love looking at him adoringly, waiting till he was okay to keep going. It only caused him to spiral more. This was nothing new, heck they've done stuff way kinkier than this. Then why did he feel so guilty?
"Eddie, it is okay to want. You told me that. Nothing to be ashamed of."
"...."
He didn't know what to say. Of course Venom was right, he was just being difficult. He needed to get over it and stop acting like some kind of inexperienced -
his thoughts were interrupted by Venom's lips on his. Barely pressing, just sweet, soft and insistent brushes. Hands petting his hair in an attempt to calm him down.
"We're going to untie you now okay Eddie?"
slowly the tendrils holding him open receded, laying his legs down. Then the bonds on his arms let go, only leaving a few strands weaving between his fingers.
"V... no, i just- we can keep going, i'm - i'm fine now."
"You are not fine Eddie, we can see that. We can feel what you feel remember? and right now we feel... wrong."
Great not he had gone and made his other feel like shit. why was he getting so worked up about this. Couldn't even do this right.
He curled into himself wishing he could just disappear.
"Eddie... Please. Talk to us? We do not understand what is happening."
"I don't know love. Im sorry it's just me."
"No, this is not you, you are hiding something from us!"
Yeah, he was hiding something from them. It was nothing important, he just didn't want Venom to feel all the negitive stuff. All the anxiety of getting everything together, it got to him sometimes. Being on the run and creating a life for the both of them wasn't really the easiest thing in the world.
"Love, i didn't mean to hide anything."
He uncurled from his position and looked up at Venom.
"It's just a lot okay, a-and i don't know how to tell you."
"Is is okay to hold you Eddie?"
"Yeah"
Venom formed behind him, pulling him close to his chest, even mimicking a calm breathing pattern. The gentle rise and fall of his chest made him feel a little better. Talking to them while facing away was also a little easier.
"A lot has been happening V. A new life with you is exactly what I want but... I dont wanna mess it up."
He took a deap breath. Maybe hiding his emotions from his other wasn't such a good idea. It felt amazing actually talking about it.
" Between the freelance work, keeping an eye out for the police and making sure you're fed, it's a lot of stuff. V its just.. I don't want you to think I'm..."
He gripped Venom's hand a little tighter. All those pesky anxious thoughts flowing back into his mind. He needed to do this, to be okay with talking about it. That's what he told them to do right? communication and all that.
"I don't want you to think I'm incompetent. That I can't do anything without your help."
There. he said it. Venom stopped breathing, gone completely still.
"Eddie. We are sorry. We said a lot of things back in that city. We thought we were right but we weren't. You are not just some incompetent host, you are my Eddie. You have done so much for us"
Eddie turned around to face them. Venom was not done speaking yet though.
"We know you are kind of a loser sometimes, but so is everyone. Even us!"
He chuckled a little despite himself. Reaching up to lay his hand on their cheek.
"Not Anne though."
"No Eddie, she is amazing."
He pressed a little kiss right between their eyes, feeling lighter than he had in weeks.
"I'm sorry love, should've talked about it to you instead of bottling it all up. "
"It is okay Eddie, we know you can be less than smart sometimes."
Eddie pulled back, looking at Venom with mock offence.
"Did you just say I'm stupid?!"
"No Eddie, just that you are not the smartest sometimes."
"Hey! that's the same thing asshole."
"It is not."
"Yes it is."
"It is not, Eddie."
Laughing a little he layed down onto his back, staring at the ceiling as a few of Venom's tendril start petting his hair again. He was exhausted.
"Breakfast Eddie?"
"Yes love."
