More Than A Hero

And You Call Him A Parasite (Eddie X ANY)

Woo-hoo, Venom 2

I can't wait for your release, can you?

sorry, I had to.

Eddie looked at you, unblinking. You stared back, narrowing your eyes. "You know you want to," you accused. "You first," he replied, then jumped back with a loud, "No!"

You started laughing so hard you had to grab your stomach. "Damn it, Venom! I was winning!" Your companion growled as he got up. Venom's blob-like form manifested over his shoulder, and you swore he winked at you. "No you weren't. You're a loser," Venom said, matter-of-factly. "Now give me tater-tots."

"Here, Ven. I made some before you came over." As he stretched out and moved towards your kitchen, you heard a crashing noise, then glass breaking. "Hey, try not to break too much okay?" You called. "What a useless request. He's already broken most of your plates," Eddie said. "Liar! There is a whole-" Crash! "Nevermind." 

Sighing, you stood up and walked into the kitchen, Eddie close behind. Almost all of your plates were in pieces on the floor, but Venom was happily munching on tots, ignoring the mess he'd made. "Tasty Tater-tots," he said. "This is exactly why I call you a parasite, you know," Eddie informed him as the two of you started to clean. Venom growled at him and started to lift a knife, but froze when you glared at him. You were his main source of tots, and angering you could change that. "Put it down, or I will throw away all of my tater tots. Now," you hissed. "And help his clean, or both of you are banned."

"Hey, what did I do?" Your best friend protested. "Eddie, shut up. Look." You pointed at his symbiote, who was sweeping up broken glass. In a few minutes, the room was clean. Eddie and Venom stared at you hopefully, and both cheered when you smiled. "You can stay." Ven looked at Eddie. "I want to-"

"No. No no no. I've said this before and I'll say it again. No." He glared at Venom, who seemed to wilt. "No what?" You asked curiously. They both looked at you. "I go to you. You aren't a loser, like him-"

"This is exactly why I said no! Why would I reward you like that when you always insult me?"

"Because Y/N is better than you."

"It's true, I am. Sorry Ed." He frowned. "Well, if you're both going to insult me, then fine, take him. I'll just leave." 

"You want to give me over to Y/N, just to see it. Don't lie to me." You laughed, and held out your arm. "C'mon. Let's at least try it. If I start to die, he'll go right back." After a few seconds, Eddie sighed and grabbed your hand. When Venom passed over, you shuddered, but other than that felt no difference. Kiss him, he whispered in your thoughts. "I will not!" You cried, your cheeks heating up. "Do what?" Eddie asked. You and Venom answered at the same time.

"Nothing-"

"Kiss-"

"Venom, shut up!" You yelled. You should have known he would call you out for your crush on Eddie. "He'd kiss you back" Ven stated. Both of you stared at him, bright red, then you turned to your best friend. "Would you?" 

"I- maybe? If you didn't have bad breath?" It was answer enough. You shrugged and stepped closer to him. "I brushed my teeth today. Did you?"

"No."

"Yes, I did."

Laughing, you closed the distance between your lips. Eddie wrapped his arms around your shoulders, returning the action. "And you call him a parasite," you whispered against his lips. You felt them pull apart into a smile. "He still is-"

"Shut up!"

"But he's also a pretty damn good wingman."
