Eddie's PoV -

     Sunlight shone through the window illuminating our small bedroom. Venom, still sound asleep, was curled around my naked body. I shifted so I could see him better but my body protested in pain mostly situated in my ass and stomach. This had become a common occurrence between Venom and myself. Our relationship had become more romantic in nature.

     Are you okay, Eddie?

     Venom must have woken up from my grunt of pain, "I'm fine, just take it easy on us for a little while." I cuddled into the symbiot.

Our cuddles were interrupted when a wave of nausea overcame me. I scrambled out of bed and ran to the bathroom and expelled the contents of my stomach into the toilet. Venom, half formed from my shoulder, gently rubbed my back. I groaned. I felt terrible. Chunks of flesh and bits of meat floated in the toilet. I must be reacting to the bad guy Venom ate last night. I flush. Slowly I pull myself up to the sink and wash my face and try to brush the vomit from my mouth. Finally, feeling a bit better I find some jeans and a hoodie to wear.

We are hungry.

Nausea stirs in my stomach again at the mere mention of food but for Venom I will suffer through it. "What do you want, buddy?"

We want chocolate cereal!

I make my way to the kitchen and find some chocolate Krave cereal. I pour a large amount into a bowl and put some milk in it. I plop a spoon in it and place it on the table, "Have at it, Vee, I'm not hungry."

Eddie, you need to eat.

Venom try's to feed me a spoonful of cereal but ends up spilling most of it. "I'm fine, I'll eat later when I feel better."

With that Venom devours the breakfast. I lay my head on the table and wait for Venom to finish. I must have fallen asleep as I wake to the sound of a broken plate.

Sorry, Eddie.

I sit up in my chair. Venom was trying to wash dishes while I slept. His tendrils spread around the dining room. Currently he swept up his mess while continuing to wash, rinse, and dry the dishes all at the same time. "Venom, are you doing something to us. Why do I feel so sick?" I question.

Now finished with the chore Venom makes his way back to me. His head flotes from my shoulder.

I do not know, Eddie. I assure you that we are not sick. I will not let us get sick.

I kiss the top of Venom's head and he purrs contently. "Maybe I'm reacting to whatever you ate last night. I'll be better soon."

We cuddle on the couch the rest of the day. I work on my articles while Venom watches a movie apparently called "Event Horizon". Whenever something scary happens Venom protectively forms around me before apparently remembering it's only a movie and quickly retreating back to cuddles. I don't mind though. It's funny to see Venom get scared and protective. Once the movie ends I can feel Venom starting to become impatient.

We are hungry!

I finishes the paragraph I was on. "What do you want, Vee?"

Bad guys!

"I'm still pretty sick, buddy. Could you settle for human food?"

Fine. We will eat chocolate.

I find Venom's chocolate stashed in the cabinet.

Eddie needs to eat too.

"I'm still not feeling good. I don't want to get sick again."

We are worried about us, Eddie.

"Vee, don't worry about us. This will pass soon," I reply and gently pet him as we settle back down on the couch.

Venom eats his chocolate while I continue my work. Suddenly another wave of nausea overcomes me and I run to the toilet again this time throwing up chocolate. I groan and once again clean myself up.

"Vee, I'm going to bed a bit early tonight," I state while changing into my pajamas.

Rest will make us feel better.

I cuddle into our bed and Venom cuddles behind me with his strong arms wrapped around my waist. "Good night, Vee."

Goodnight, love.
