Peter rolled his eyes as Venom disappeared into the shadows after knocking out the guy he had been fighting.
"Eddie...," He sighed as he chased after him, following him up to a nearby rooftop.
"You know people are really going to start getting the wrong idea if you keep helping me," Peter joked as he pulled off his mask.
Venom didn't respond as he sat down and stared at the skyline.
"Eddie? Something wrong?"
"Just Venom today," Venom responded.
Peter tilted his head as he sat down next to him, "Venom? Is Eddie sleeping right now?"
Venom nodded, "I wanted to have a talk, just you and I."
"Ok?.... Something wrong?" Peter asked. It wasn't very common that he and Venom spoke alone. Even when Venom took over, Eddie was still in there watching.
"I have decided that I want you and Eddie to be mates."
Peter's eyes went wide, "Mates? As in friends?... Because we are friends."
"Noooooo, mates as in make babies and get married." Venom demanded.
"Uh... Venom, that's not exactly how that works. I don't know how your species does it but two males can't make babies."
"Ok fine, but you two can at least get married."
Peter had to fight back from laughing, "Venom, humans don't work like that. They have to like each other and want each other, physically." He put emphasis on the last word.
"Eddie does like you."
"I'm sure he does but there's a difference between ‘like as a friend’ and ‘like as a boyfriend.’"
"No! He does like you physically and as a boyfriend, he just won't admit it. He use to think of Anne the same way, he even thinks about running his fingers through your perfect hair all the time. Don't you like him?"
Peter blushed and looked away, "I.... I don't really know." He admits. This was the first time he admitted this, even to himself. He had always simply ignored those thoughts and chalked it up to just being glad he wasn't alone anymore. Eddie was far from vulnerable as Venom would keep him safe so he never had to worry about him putting him in danger. Peter found something in Eddie that he had longed for, someone he could get close to.
Venom shrugged as he stood up, "Do whatever you want with that information. Just know I am very happy for you two. So hurry up and kiss," he demanded before taking off leaving Peter along with his thoughts.
Peter sat on the roof and stared at the skyline of the city, "Damn... things just got complicated."
