( the fact that this confession went as well is did is still doing numbers on eddie’s head. it’s clearly for the better. the whole thing is way, way better than eddie could have imagined, but he’s still blinking in surprise when norman is on him. it passes quickly, and both eddie and v wrap around him him. v, being as pliable as he is, probably doesn’t feel too different from being wrapped up an a wad of really thick gum. and eddie is solid, which makes for a nice contrast. )
[Norman laughs and presses his face into Eddie's hair, suddenly so emotional that he feels the need to hide. He felt just as much apprehension coming into this - maybe even more, because he came in with no idea what he was about to hear - and now he just feels closer to Eddie than ever. The fact that Eddie (and Venom) killed someone doesn't even remain in his thoughts as a blip on the radar.]
Eddie - [No, not just him.] - and V - I dunno if you realize how fuckin' crazy I am about you.
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. )
[Norman's a very, very difficult person to scare off with too much information too soon. His natural intensity level means that he dives into everything head-first and all the way, so it's much more likely that he'll be the one to scare off a more distant person - either that or maintain his own distance if he doesn't immediately click with someone, which leads to them drifting away.
But none of the above is relevant with Eddie. He adores Eddie, and Eddie seems just as taken with him, and that means he's already very near ride or die levels of devoted.
He's still smiling when Eddie kisses him, and lets out a murmur of pure indulgent happiness into his mouth before pulling away to point out something else Eddie might not have considered.]
I'm good with the kisses, but just so you know - you could also be fuckin' me right now.
( good to know, because eddie has so, so much to share. some of that includes deep dark secrets, sure, but there's plenty useless knowledge rattling around in his head to keep norman entertained and, like, not totally weirded out. though, to be fair, alien and murder take the top spots on eddie's list. at this point, he doesn't think he's hiding much else. the one time he ran a red light, maybe, but that was for a good cause. )
Fucking? Fucking is an option? Even with the whole...
I mean, you know this has to be a group activity now, right? With active participation? From all parties? V's not gonna, like, sit back and pretend that he doesn't exist now that you, uh, know he exists.
IT IS TRUE. WE WISH TO SEE YOU IN COMPROMISING POSTIONS.
( venom's getting a head start on that one, twining his gooey tendrils around norman's arms and raising them above his head. )
[Norman whips his head from one side to the other as Venom takes hold of his arms, tugging against his grip despite harboring no real hope that he's capable of breaking free. Panic presses in at all of his shallowest pulse points, temples and wrists and throat; sweat breaks out all over his body and bile rises in his throat; still, he refuses to scream or fight.
He loves them. Both of them. As volatile as Venom may seem to Norman, he's never done any sort of harm and even hid his presence early on to allow Norman and Eddie to become close. That means he must have some degree of self-control...
Jesus, talking reasonably with Venom would be so much easier if he just had pupils. Those vacant white eyes really don't give anything away.]
First, you're gonna have to go into some detail about what fuckin' entails for you, V. Don't be shy, I wanna know what I'd be in for.
