I just confessed to bodying someone, and I'm getting cuddles out of it. So I might have some idea. ( he's joking. he gets it. as if the venom reveal wasn't enough, now eddie doesn't think there's anything he's hiding from norman, nothing that he doesn't feel like he can't tell him. and it's good, the best. his last relationship was ruined by mistrust, and he's not about to do it again.

he might be going overboard, telling norman too much too soon, but there's no real downside to being too honest, is there? it just means there's someone out here that he can rely on. and hug, and smooch, and fuck, and cuddle, and all of those very important things, but reliability is just really, really nice right now. )

Man, seriously, you've got no idea. I could kiss you right now. ( ... ) Why am I not kissing you right now?

( he leans up and kisses norman, right now. sorry, norman; no hiding for you. behind them, venom flickers his tongue in a sign that might be a mating call back on his home world, if eddie cared to do his research and keep a log of all of v's idiosyncrasies. which he does not. )
