Are We Only Roommates? Venom and Eddie College AU

Chapter Twenty-One

Riot heard his phone buzz. Glancing down at Carlton who was dozing in his lap, he didn't want to wake him, but at the same time he wanted to reply to the text.

So he slowly, slowly, carefully reached for his phone and picked it up and opened the text. It was from Venom.

Hey, stop cuddling with your little boyfriend and get your big, gray ass down here, we're planning something for tomorrow. Plus, everyone else is here. And there's icecream . 😃

Riot smirked. The fact that Venom knew what he was doing was hilarious.  So he replied.

The fact that you knew I was cuddling Carlton just made things better. I'll be there in a few minutes.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Riot sighed and stopped for a moment. He could feel Carlton breathing, his small chest rising up and down slowly. He really didn't want to wake him up. Plus, Carlton was cute when he slept.

Riot let out a deep breath and lifted his hands. Carlton didn't move. Riot narrowed his eyes and smirked.

"Carlton...." he whispered, nudging him a little.

Glancing down, he saw that a little bit of his little boyfriend's shirt was riding up his stomach. Grinning wider, he slowly reached down and gently skimmed the exposed area.

Carlton flinched but didn't move other than that. Riot began to steadily tickle the area. Carlton made a quiet squeak and began to wriggle.

"Nooo," he whined in his sleep.

"Yesss," Riot replied with a sly grin.

"Nope," he mumbled, and a hand came up to try to weakly swat at the hand.

"I'm trying to wake you up," Riot mused and continued to make those nerves tingle. It wasn't until he actually began to torture him, that Carlton woke up.

Carlton was immediately brought to life. Yelping in surprise, he jolted to a sitting position, eyes wide. Riot laughed at him.

"Aww, sorry, did I wake you?" he cooed.

"Don't do that!" Carlton blushed, pulling down his shirt.

"Hmm. What about this then?" Riot mused and pressed a little kiss against Carlton's nose. Carlton smiled and could only sit there when Riot took hold of both his wrists in one large hand.

"Hey—" he began, but laughed when Riot pulled him closer, growling softly.

"Wanna go out?" Riot asked him.

"Where?"

"Well...." Riot's fingers danced along Carlton's face and teased their way down his torso. "There's a nice little icecream place downtown that has everyone else in our group down there."

"Wait, they're there? All of them?"

"Yep. They're making a plan for tomorrow. Something about hanging out...."

"Okay, I can see why you woke me up for this," Carlton said with a smile. "Let's go."

"Hmm, good boy."

"Why can't we hang out today again?" Dan wondered as they all sat in the icecream shop.

"Well, I need to take my car to repair shop, and I thought it would be nice to plan instead of jumping straight into the deep end," Venom replied.
