Our Nibble

Take Out

Y/n's Pov

     "I usually just call him V," Eddie said and Venom, the alien that he apparently shared a body with, moved in front of my face. Moving my own hand up to touch him, I felt curious. I had a million questions running though my head as he moved against my hand. It was like what I imagined an eel felt like.

     "Your hands are very soft," Venom said looking at me. Eddie looked at him like he had said the must vulgar thing possible. That's when my stomach growled.

     "We should get going. Any good take out places around your apartment?" He asked chuckling awkwardly.

     "I can make a quick order from the Mexican restaurant on the edge of the block," I said with a smile. Grabbing my phone I quickly put in my own order on the restaurant's app service. "What would you like? My treat!"

     "Hmm well fajitas are always my go to for Mexican food," he said grinning from ear to ear. I nodded and placed the order. I waved at Dr. Wooten as we walked out to Eddie's bike. He handed me the helmet before driving off to the restaurant. There was a slithering motion underneath my hoodie as Venom wrapped around me. I felt my face flush as I grew accustomed to the feeling.

Eddie's Pov

     As we were driving I felt Venom move a tendril our around something warm and soft. My face flushed as I realized what, or rather who, it was.

What on earth do you think you are doing!

Y/n has been injured once already today. We don't want them to fall do we?

     I grumble as I slowed down stopping at the red light.

     "Sorry about V. He says he doesn't want you to fall off." I said looking back at her. She nodded holding onto me even though she no longer had to. She must be really new to this kinda thing huh. Once the light turned green I pulled off and drove slightly faster. Still why the fuck did he have to wrap around her bare stomach.

She is not wearing an open jacket like you Eddie. I can't just wrap myself around the outside of her clothes. Wouldn't that look odd?

     I hate it when he has a point. Even though it wasn't my own hand, I could still feel the tendril against her warm stomach. I felt my cheeks go even redder as I tried to distract myself with driving.

     After picking up our food we arrived back at her apartment. V, after re wrapping himself when she got the food earlier, pulled away letting her get off the bike. Shaking her hair out, she walked in smiling.

     "There's my boss boy!" She said happily petting her dog's face. I couldn't help but chuckle at her actions. It was really cute. "Were you a good boy while we were gone Hercules? I bet you were!"

     "How long have you had him?" I asked snapping her out of her puppy talking state. She looked a bit embarrassed and rubbed at the back of her neck.

      "He's two now. And I've had him since he was a little pup!" She said with a big smile. The dog wagged it's tail knowing that it was the subject of our conversation. "Now let's dig in to our lunch shall we!" I nodded and V peaked out looking at the two of us.

      "This type of food was very good last time we had it," he said looking at Y/n. I look at him and chuckled.

      "V you are always hungry." Y/n laughed and I couldn't help but smile. "It does look delicious though." She nodded and started fixing her plate.

     "Eddie can I ask both of you questions about your...relationship?" She asked. I choked on a bite of my food as V laughed.

     "Sure but it's not that kind of relationship I assure you. I am as single as can be," I said mentally slapping myself. V laughed even more as I couldn't help but notice the tiny bit of pink on her cheeks. She took a breath and looked me dead in the eye.

"How does this work? If you get hurt can V feel it? Does V eat human food or does he have to eat something different? Do you have any special abilities because of him. Are your thought connected and that's why you mumble every once in a while? Or can can you only hear his thoughts?" I looked at her as she took a breath and tried to process everything she said.

"Damn," V said looking as bewildered as I was. Y/n chuckled as she rubbed the back of her neck.

"Well to answer the first question, my body is like a host for Venom. However it's not a parasitic relationship. We have compatible genetic makeups, or at least that's how Drake described it so I can benefit V and vise versa. We can feel each other's pain when the other is in control so to say. V can and does eat human food. I can run faster and lift things heavier than I could before. When we are Venom we can jump super high, to my disapproval, and are pretty much impervious to human weapons. Except for anything that has to do with sound or heat. Venom can heal any wounds I have. Our thoughts and senses are connected but sometimes I'm not used to it being more people than just Venom and I. Is that all of them answered?" Y/n had been staring intensively focus on every word. She nodded and went back to eating.

"Your interest is very unique Y/n," Venom said looking at her as I fed him a piece of chicken. Her face was a little flushed after that. I chuckled and smiled at her.

"Now can I ask you a question?" She nodded and I smiled at my food. "What got you into journalism?"
