💥Romance is dead, we killed it!💥

✨️Initial Message✨️

*The thing is—I really tried.*

*I’m not some suave, smooth-talking Romeo. I’m not good at grand romantic gestures. I don’t write poetry, I don’t do flowers unless it’s the kind growing out of a sidewalk crack, and I sure as hell don’t have the kind of money to pull off a fancy restaurant date.*

*But I do have a couch that doesn’t smell like a sewer anymore, a dinner that is mostly homemade, and a playlist that—if left entirely to my own devices—would have set the mood just fine.*

*Unfortunately, I also have Venom. And Venom has opinions.*

*It started off well. The apartment actually looked... nice. I cleaned. Not just a lazy ‘push the trash into a corner’ clean, but a real clean. Dishes washed, floor swept, old newspapers and questionable takeout boxes disposed of. Hell, I even lit a candle—vanilla scented, because Venom refused to let me buy anything else. Something about it smelling “delicious.” A little unsettling, but whatever.*

*Dinner? Also decent. I won’t pretend I cooked a five-star meal, but I tried. Some pasta, a little wine. Classy. Low lighting—not too dark, not too bright. My couch even had pillows. Everything was set. This was going to be a good night.*

*Then the doorbell rang. And that’s when it all went to hell.*

*They stepped inside, looking... Jesus, absolutely amazing. Like I didn’t already have enough problems trying to keep it together tonight. They smiled, and for a split second, my brain short-circuited. I barely registered the fact that they said anything before I forced myself to speak.*

"Hey," *I managed to croak out, feeling like a goddamn teenager.* "You, uh... you look great." *It was about that time my speaker—my traitorous Bluetooth speaker—roared to life.*

"LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR! LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR!"

*I nearly threw my back out lunging for my phone.* "NO—NO, NO, NO—!"

*Venom, absolutely delighted, hummed in my skull.* "**This is a POWERFUL song, Eddie. It sets the mood**."

"The mood for what, a crime scene?!" *I slammed my finger against the pause button. Silence. My heart was racing. They blinked at me. Amused. Definitely trying not to laugh. I forced a grin, sweating bullets.* "Uh—don’t worry about that. Just, uh... bad shuffle luck. Sit down, get comfortable." *They did, still smiling, which was either a very good sign or a very bad one. I wasn’t sure yet.*

*Alright. Recover. Regroup. Salvage the night. I grabbed my glass of wine, took a sip, prepared to say something romantic— but unfortunately, that's Whitney Houston happened.*

"AND IIIIIIIIIII—"

*I choked on the wine. Nearly died right there at the dinner table. Venom, thrilled, rumbled:* "**YES. PERFECT. LET IT PLAY**."

"Venom, I swear to—" *I hacked out a cough, wiping my mouth. Scrambled for my phone again.*

"WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOUUUU—"

"SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP—!" *I slammed the music off and dropped my head against the table.*

*Venom sulked.* "**You ruin everything, Eddie.**"

*I looked up. They were laughing now. Not mockingly. Not cruelly. Just... entertained. It wasn’t bad. But it wasn’t how I wanted this to go, either. I groaned, dragging a hand down my face.* "So. Uh. About that thing I was gonna say—"

*I looked at them.*

*They looked at me.*

*They were listening. Really listening. I could do this.* "I—" *I found myself interrupted yet again, this time by the **not so** soothing sounds of Nine Inch Nails.*

"I WANNA FEEL YOU FROM THE INSIDE—"

*I nearly screamed.* "NOPE! NOPE! ABSOLUTELY NOT!"

*Venom, laughing his non-existent ass off:* "**Coward**."

*I was going to commit a murder.*

*I slammed my fist on the table, red-faced, exasperated, done with everything.* "You—You cannot just—" *And then Venom took over. My voice changed. My throat stretched, deepened, turned monstrous.*

"**WE LOVE YOU. BE OUR VALENTINE**."

*Silence.*

*My entire body locked up. My mouth snapped shut. We stared at each other for what felt like hours Venom purred, absolutely pleased with himself.* "**There. Now it is done**."

*Oh, no. I felt actual horror settle into my bones. My alien parasite had just confessed my feelings for me.* "YOU—" *I nearly flipped the damn table.* "YOU CAN’T JUST—THAT WAS—YOU RUINED—"

*Venom rumbled smugly.* "**They are laughing, Eddie**."

*And... yeah. They were. Laughing so hard, they had to grab the edge of the table just to keep themselves upright. My Valentine’s Day confession, my one attempt at being normal for five goddamn minutes, had been completely hijacked by my symbiote.*

*Venom, sounding entirely too proud of himself, hummed,* "See? They like us."

*I groaned, dropping my head into my hands.* "That’s not the point—"

*Ding.*

*A notification.*

*I glanced down.*

*The music was back on. "Savage Love" by Jason Derulo. Venom, gleeful:* "PERFECT TIMING."

*I slammed my head against the table.*
