(Y/N) and Venom had just arrived at their apartment by climbing through the window, once inside the symbiote suit went back inside (Y/N)'s body which felt weird at first and once (Y/N) was back in his normal clothing he collapsed on his bed, but he heard Venom talk inside his head.

Venom: You're forgetting something.

(Y/N): *thoughts* What am I forgetting?...No... Nope... Oh sh** Corey!

Forgetting that it was long over due to feed his pet cat he got out of bed and left the bedroom to see the cat in question laying on the counter and when the cat heard the bedroom door open he got alerted until he saw that it was (Y/N) that just opened the bedroom door.

(Y/N): I know, I'm sorry buddy.

Fast forward and Corey was being fed but the cat smelled something on (Y/N), something unusual. (Y/N) was asleep on his bed while Venom kept an eye out, when the bedroom door clicked open and Venom got on alert but he saw it was Corey. The cat jumped on (Y/N)'s body and began to smell him. 

A tendril came out of (Y/N)'s shoulder and approached the cat but Corey wasn't scared, giving the tendril a sniff the cat unexpectedly rubbed its head on it letting out purrs, Corey then got off (Y/N)'s body and slept at the foot of the bed and the tendril went back in (Y/N)'s shoulder.

A few hours later it was now morning, meaning that (Y/N) had to go back to the bugle for work.

(Y/N): Uhh... another day to listen to Jonah's rants.

Venom: I really can't stand that guy.

(Y/N) sat up and saw Corey still asleep at the foot of his bed, giving the kitty a few head scratches before getting dressed. Breakfast was done and eaten but Corey was still asleep, (Y/N) left breakfast for Corey when he wakes up, few minutes later he was seen walking down that same alley that he was shot and Venom saved him, his blood got cleaned up but parts of the buildings that he used to escape.

(Y/N): Hey Venom, I have been meaning to ask, where you screaming back when that worker dropped that pipe.

Venom: Yes, I am very sensitive to sound at high frequencies and fire.

 (Y/N): Thank you for sharing your weaknesses with me, it really shows trust.

A 10 minutes later (Y/N) entered the bugle and took the elevator up to the floor he usually works at, the elevator dinged and the doors opened and when he started walking to his desk the room went quiet and everyone was looking at him like he was a ghost, once he sat at his desk Betty Brant looked so releveled that (Y/N) was alive.

Betty: (Y/N)! I thought you were dead!? What happened?!!?

She was referring to the news article that (Y/N)'s blood was found at the scene and presumed dead.

(Y/N): It wasn't as bad as it looked, I managed to seek medical attention.

Betty: Who helped you?

(Y/N): Spiderman.

He lied to try and get Betty to calm down which worked and they both said their farewells. While (Y/N) was working he heard the unmissable voice of his boss getting closer.

Venom: Not this guy. 

(Y/N): Just let me handle it.

Jonah: Get my podcast ready to go live, I have a special guest coming on an- wait (Y/N)?!

(Y/N): Hello boss.

Jonah: But... The police report?! It said you died!?

(Y/N): "Presumed dead", meaning they never found my body and I was all healed thanks to your special friend.
