tiny venom scene

this is barely fanfic, but ...

you guys I just realized that the entire “turd in the wind” speech was Eddie talking



“Bad guy right?” Venom asks.

“Yup.” And just like that they’re moving, Eddie and Venom in sync now in a way they’ve never been before: both of them sharing the driver’s seat, moving their body in tandem, thinking in tandem, intent on only one thing, a singlular and bloody goal –

Wait.

They’ve grabbed the bad guy, but they’re talking. Why are they talking? Why are they not biting?

“….we will find you. And eat both your arms. And then both of your legs.”

This is terrible. This is not biting. This is not eating.

*Eddie,* Venom thinks furiously. But Eddie has their voice, and he’s still going, making some kind of … threat? He thinks they’re just going to threaten this bad guy? This MEAL?

“Do you understand? Yes. And then you will be this armless, legless thing, won’t you? Rolling down the street.”

This is not even a good threat. *EDDIE* Venom thinks, as loudly as they can.

“Like a turd…”

This is a disaster. Why did they give Eddie enough control to use their voice. This is EMBARRASSING –

“…In the wind.”

Venom is rethinking this entire host thing. Maybe Klyntar wasn’t so bad.

“…Do you feel me?”

The bad guy stares up at them, stammering, asking who they are, and Venom is about to grab control back and bite off that juicy-looking bad guy head, and suddenly Eddie is doing something ELSE – he’s peeling back part of Venom’s face, showing their human face, eyes nose mouth and he’s saying –

“WE … are Venom.”

There’s a split second when Venom can’t move. They’re just overwhelmed. Eddie said “we.” Eddie said “WE.”

Every molecule of Venom’s essence squeezes tight, for a second, around his host’s crinkly, sweaty, unspeakably precious human body. There’s a suspended moment. Internally, in a space they share beyond bodies and beyond physics, symbiote and host are eye to eye, understanding, for the first time, how much they are accepted, how much they are one.

Then Venom realizes they’ve got control of their body again.

They eat the bad guy in a single bite.

Hahaha. That's glorious. I tend to think it was Venom speaking that line, but I totally buy that it was Eddie in this. Also, I snickered at a pretty high rato of your words.
