"why can't you just accept it!! there's no changing it now!! we're too far gone." eddie squealed. though there was a rather hearty slice of wheat at his fingertips, accompanied by a variety of actual food— much to venoms dismay— eddie focused his attention in front of him. although his symbiotic companion would much prefer someone's newly removed head, eddie was more than capable of exploiting the soft spot the alien had for ensuring his others happiness.

"it's stupid," venom grumbled, tentacles emerging from his hosts shoulder to form a head. "your race is stupid" they remarked.

"geez, thanks babe," he rolled his eyes, "and yeah, i don't like it either, but there's no need to yell at me for it" eddie defensively stated. it was all his own fault, he thought. if he hadn't turned that damned television on only to be met with the likes of some notebook rip-off, passionately displaying two attractive, middle-aged individuals embracing amongst the pouring rain, he'd probably be enjoying his sandwich.

as he grabbed the remote to change the channel, venoms tendrils stopped him dead in his tracks, and the two were frozen in front of the lovely scene.

"what is this filth..." venom began, and yes, that's how it began, all because of some lifetime original movie called "a flower for petunia." eddie sighed deeply at the thought.

"i don't understand your traditions. things like things and they mate, that's it." as venom continued to whine further, eddie slapped a slice of provolone between the slices of bread, layered with ham and turkey. even the scent of the fresh foods made his mouth water. despite vee thinking that this was far from fresh, his host would force feed him this sandwich even if it meant killing them both, and judging by the symbiotes current mood that was surely a possibility.

eddie took his first bite, savoring every single flavor that had long since become a memory to the man. "this does not make sense" venom interrupted the mans between each moan he uttered upon biting down.

"listen, relationships are just like this, alright?" he quickly sputtered out, food surely spilling out from his mouth.

"he just gave her a flower, and she cried? has this upset her?" eddie ignored this, continuing to eat and undoubtedly mutter some satisfactory expletives.

"and why can't she just say how she feels? she clearly likes this man yet she marries this man" eddie ignored him once more.

"and why does she stand in the rain? why doesn't she move to shelter? do humans enjoy being wet?" at this point, eddie was nearly at the end of his sandwich and completely tuned out from venoms obsessive droning.

venom brought their face closer to that of eddies, a menacing grin spread across their face. "that's not gonna work on me, vee" eddie laughed. as the man continued to chew with the intensity of a wild animal, venom crept closer to him, slowly forming small tendrils and extending them towards the sandwich.

"no, oh no bud, you're not getting this" he protectively shielded the remaining bite in his mouth. "iffts alf mnne!!" he exclaimed triumphantly.

vee cocked their head to the side, almost intrigued at the mans actions. he swallowed the remaining sliver, only causing the expression plastered on venoms makeshift body to grow. "what? i was hungry" eddie defended.

"why aren't you listening to me?" venoms voice boomed, yet his tone was soft.

eddie rolled his eyes for what must've been the thousandth time. "because i was eating. i don't bother you when you're swallowing people whole" he said, absentmindedly cleaning up stray crumb from the table.
