What made you change your mind|Symbrock

Better Together

He was back at the lake, black tendrils burning slowly in the fire. Pained screeches deafening Eddie. The drowning feeling on his lungs, suffocating him, water threatening to take Eddie away from the world. That piercing feeling in his chest, blood oozing from the hole of Eddie's chest, except this time, Venom wouldn't be there to save his precious Eddie. The image of Venom being eaten by Riot swarmed through his head. Everything being taken away from him, even Venom coming into his life. It was at 3 am. Eddie has been having nightmares of Venom dying and Venom not being there to save Eddie. Every night, no matter the nightmare, it always ended in him waking up, screaming. Eddie put his palms over his eyes, trying to rub away the gruesome images. Eddie wiped the sweat off his forehead and ran a hand through his hair. Eddie didn't realize how alone he was without Venom. How did he live like he did before the protective alien came into his life? Though they had a weird relationship, it would've been nice to have someone with him all the time, but Carlton Drake took that away from him, like everything else. Eddie sniffled and walked to the refrigerator to grab a couple of beers to drink, hoping to forget. He placed one of them on the floor next to his bed and popped one open. Anne called Eddie for a meet up to talk about everything that has happened, from start to finish with the whole Venom thing. Of course, he was dreading it. Who wants to talk about someone you know who is now dead? His thoughts stopped as he finished the first bottle of beer and went to grab the second one off of the floor, but it was stuck to the ground. Eddie got annoyed and started pulling the beer off from the floor,  black goo peeling off of the floor and onto the bottle, slithering to Eddie's arm. Eddie nearly had a heart attack. He could've sworn that all the other symbiotes have died because of the experiments.
No, it couldn't be.
"...V-Vee?"
The black goo attached itself to Eddie and began to mold himself to a human body form in front of Eddie, small parts of him still connected to Eddie's body.
"Hello, Eddie," Venom said smiling.
Eddie opened his mouth in awe. He didn't know what to do. He slapped Venom, but then tackle hugged him and started bawling, his hands reaching under Venom's back, scratching at it slightly, an attempt to get Venom closer.
"Eddie, what's is wrong? What's this liquid coming out of your eyes?" Venom ignored the slap from Eddie. He knew he would be mad at him but happy to see he was alive.
"You scared the shit out of me! You-you died and-"
Venom wrapped his arms around Eddie, imitating Eddie as an attempt to hug him. Eddie cried into his chest, scratching at his back one again to make sure that Venom wasn't going anywhere, and that he was really still alive.
His Venom was back.

"Thanks for sticking by me and thanks for saving me."
"So how are you feeling after all that?" Anne asked.
"I feel great, I feel awesome, " Eddie said with a smile.
"Wow."
"Yeah I'm thinking of suing though, you wanna prosecute?"
"You're in luck, I'm thinking of working for Pro Bono now. We're joining the public defender's office."
"You're a good person Anne," Eddie smiled at Anne.
"What about you? What are you going to do?" Anne asked.
"The network asked me to bring the show back and uh do a piece on Drake."
"Oh really? What did you say?"
Eddie shook his head, "I'm not into it. I want to concentrate on the written word. I scored the interview of a lifetime."
"Oh yeah, who?"
"You're going to have to read it."
"Oooh like everyone else?"
Eddie smiled, "Yeah, " he said as he pursed his lips.
There was a long silence.
"Hey, I'm sorry about Venom, " Anne said, looking at Eddie with sympathy.
"...Hey uhm...do you wanna talk about that kiss?"
"Oh, you call that a kiss? No no that was uhm...your buddies idea," Anne said knowing exactly how Venom feels about Eddie.
"Oh...right, well that is good to know," Eddie said in a sarcastic tone.
"It did felt kinda great though," Anne said thinking about being Venom back at the woods.
"What?"
"No, I mean...uhm," Anne stuttered.
"The power?"
"Yeah. When it's inside you, you know what I mean?
"Inside you?" Eddie smirked.
"You know what I mean he was also inside you," Anne smirked back.
Eddie stuttered. This made him blush, but he hid it. When Venom took his full form with Eddie, he has to 'plug in' so he could control Eddie's movements. It made him think of...other things.
"Hey, Eddie?" Eddie hummed back in response.
Eddie snapped out of his disturbing thoughts and paid attention to Anne.
"We're not going to tell Dan about this, okay?"
"Look at her, she has no idea we are going to get her back," a deep voice said to Eddie.
"No...I don't think so."
"Sorry, what was that?" Anne asked
"We're not going to tell Dan, " Eddie smirked.
"Eddie, is there something you want to tell me?"
"No..."
"You belong to us, Anne."
"Eddie, are you sure?" Anne was concerned.
Eddie began to chuckle nervously, "Good lord, look at that, look at the time." Eddie began to stutter.
"I, uh I gotta go, I have to go. Hey, it was nice seeing you, Annie. You take care all right."
"Yeah you take care of yourself," Anne said, slightly suspicious.
Eddie began to walk away from Anne.
"Hey, don't give up on her. Neither of you," an old man said as if he knew of Venom.
"We won't," Eddie said smiling, slightly laughing. Eddie was trying his best to become friends with Anne. He wouldn't give up on that, but he knew Anne was happy with Dan, and so was he. He bent down and pet the man's dog. As Eddie bent down, Venom stayed weirdly quiet until he spoke after a while.
"Who was that guy? Wait this looks delicious. Can I eat it?" Venom asked, not actually referring to the dog.
"Hey what did I say?"
"Right. Don't eat anyone or anything unless it's a bad guy blah blah blah," Venom said, seeing that Eddie thought he was referring to the dog.
As Eddie began to walk to Mrs. Chen's shop, Venom spoke up.
"Inside you, huh?" Venom smirked
"S-Shut up its a term of endearment."
"Sure it is, Eddie."

While Eddie headed to Mrs. Chen's store, he started talking to Venom about eating people and how he could only eat bad guys. Venom pointed out that it was an attempt to change the subject. A blush implanted on his face due to what Venom had said earlier. As he reached the small store he looked through the isles, Eddie said, "So what culinary delights will tickle the pickle tonight?"
"Tater tots and chocolate."
The small bell on the door rang, alerting that another person has entered the store.
"I can't keep doing this."
"Just shut up and put the money in the bag."
Eddie could tell Venom saw too.
"Bad guy?"
"Oh yeah. Heh, guess we don't need the tater tots and chocolate."
"No, we're still getting it."
"But he's your dinner!" Eddie yelled.
"I'll still be hungry." Venom smirked. "Actually on second thought, no tater tots, but the chocolate only. I'm going to eat something later anyways."
This made Eddie very confused but decided not to question it.
As Venom was threatening the man, Eddie tried to understand what Venom meant when he said he would 'eat something later' but nothing could come to mind
Because Venom wouldn't let him.
"Yes, so you'll be this armless, legless, faceless thing, won't you? Rolling down the street...like a turd in the wind, you feel me?"
The man nodded vigorously.
"What a-are you?"
Eddie and Venom knew what to do to make it seem if they were some cool superhero or something. One side of Venom's face molded to show half of Eddie's face.
"We...are Venom," they both said in sync.
Eddie smiled before Venom took full control again. He bet that looked so cool.
'You are such a dork. It's cute.'
'H-Hey!'
"Oh, second thought..." Venom hissed and bit off the man's head, humming in satisfaction, letting Eddie take full control.
"Eddie? What was that?"Mrs. Chan said, slightly terrified.
"Oh...I-I have a parasite, yeah. Bye Mrs.Chen," Eddie said while paying for the chocolate and exiting the store, walking down the streets to get to his small apartment.
"PARASITE??!!"
"Yeah, uh, its a term of endearment."
"Apologize!!"
"What? No."
"APOLOGIZE!"
"Alright fine, I'm sorry. So...what do you want to do now?"
"From the way I see it...we can do whatever we want."
Eddie rolled his eyes and smirked as he kept walking to his apartment. Though something felt strange. He felt something touch his thigh, slowly going higher and higher, agonizingly slow, going up higher and-
"Ahh fuck," Eddie moaned, his eyes closing in satisfactory. When he realized the sound he just made, he covered his mouth, eyes growing wider.
"V-Vee what Uhm. What you doing down there, buddy?" Eddie wheezed. Venom stayed quiet and began to stroke Eddie. He began to walk faster, wanting to get to his apartment as fast as possible. Venom curiously tightened around Eddie, getting a choking reaction. Venom loved the sounds that were escaping from Eddie's mouth.
"Vee wait- AH fuckfuckfuckfuck," Eddie moaned softly, bending over, trying to close his legs. He walked up the stairs towards the door of his apartment. He fumbled with the keys but dropped them as he felt an unfamiliar thing touch his ass, groping it tightly. His hands were flat against the door, his legs shaking from the sensations Venom was bringing to Eddie. Suddenly he was pushed more towards the door, elbows and face rubbing against it, Venom spreading Eddie's asscheeks.
"Ah! Fuck, buddy really, right now?" Venom then slowly started licking up Eddie's ass, shoving his tongue into the puckered hole when he reached for the doorknob.
This was going to be fun.
