[Venom] You look delicious

Remember the night you and Eddie went on the carousel?

The playground is brightly lit at night, and you can see the big Ferris wheel as soon as you enter the door. The two of you have confirmed your eyes, and you are both afraid of heights.

You now understand why Eddie keeps calling Venom a jerk.

"Wow!!!!!!"

"—Bastard!!!!"

The pitch-black alien symbiote grabs you and is leading to the roof of a skyscraper. Of course, he did not take the elevator honestly. His sharp claws allow him to climb on the vertical wall as easily as walking on the ground. The howling night wind is whistling in your ears, behind the shoulders of Venom is the night scene of the street that is getting smaller and smaller, the continuous flow of vehicles and the colorful lights decorated everywhere are beautiful and unbelievable from a height, but you are not in the mood Appreciation, not to mention that the wind blows your eyes so hard that you can hardly open your eyes, just screaming from time to time and using various rhetorical curses under the fright of heights is enough to keep you busy.

Today is Christmas, there are all kinds of spray paintings and posters on the street windows, candy canes, socks and golden bells are hung on the emerald pine trees, the familiar melody of Jinglebell can be heard everywhere in the streets and alleys. Santa's staff distributes small gifts to passing customers, and even non-children can get candies with beautiful wrapping paper.

"Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas~" You put your phone on your shoulder and put on socks for yourself, "Do you have work today?"

There was some dissatisfied murmur on the other end of the phone.

You laughed: "Don't lose your temper, are you five years old?"

Eddie said in a muffled voice, "Six years old."

"Poor thing, only six years old and working." You sigh with genuine emotion. "What's up with your guardians? I'm going to talk to them."

"The guardian's name is Alicia Brock, please detain her until the end of the holiday, thank you."

"Who is Brock? Brat, go to work."

Eddie smiled for a long time. Through the screen, you can imagine how he squinted his eyes and smiled. The corners of his eyes will evoke cute smile lines, and his white teeth are exposed under his light red lips.

"So, I won't be free until evening today." Eddie's voice was deep and deep, and he didn't hide his displeasure, "For Santa's sake, it's just a holiday... even a reporter like me They will all be dragged to join in the fun."

"Of course the most handsome reporter in New York must participate."

Eddie snorted: "Okay, I reluctantly agree."

You laughed so happily that you can imagine that the venom over there has already started to mock.

"Then I'm going out first, baby, remember to wait for me at the McLaren bar."

When you hung up the phone, you did hear him telling Venom to shut up.

You go to the bar when it gets dark.The handsome anchor of the weather forecast said that there will be very lucky Christmas snow tonight. You look up at the dark sky while walking on the sidewalk. There are only a few scattered clouds dangling on it. There will be snow in the evening.

One good thing, since you have that silent and honest little coordinate, it seems that you are not as afraid of the cold as before.You're still wearing that fuzzy scarf though, and it feels really nice against your neck and cheeks.

"Merry Christmas!" the bartender, Carl, held a red hat in his hand, and greeted you when he saw you, "Is Eddie still here?"

You took the beer from him, curled your lips and said, "Not yet."

Another customer came to the bar, and Carl put his hat on his head with a grin, and handed him a glass of whiskey.

"Why didn't I?" You put one hand on the table, stretched out the other hand to reach it, but Karl nimbly dodged it, "Give me one too."

"No, no, no." He shook his head, and simply moved the pile of hats out of your reach, "This is a hat for singles in the bar tonight, you can't have it."

"I can pretend to be single!"

"Then Eddie will smash my bar."

Carl smiled and slapped away your hand trying to reach the hat on his head, pointed to the TV hanging behind you and said, "Look there."

You blinked, and before you turned around, you heard a familiar voice——

"Good evening friends from New York, I'm Eddie. I don't want to waste my Christmas in this ghost place at all, but first I want to say Merry Christmas to everyone in the bar or at home."

He looks a little different from the real person on the screen, but you still smile slowly involuntarily.Occasionally raising one eyebrow when speaking, frowning with distaste when saying a word that is uncommonly pronounced, and subconsciously smiling after speaking a sentence—only one corner of the lip is raised, and a faint dimple floats on the cheek, as if He raised his eyes to look at people with a smile that was not a smile—it made people think that he was not a serious reporter, but rather like he just finished drinking a bottle of vodka on the street and knocked over a dozen people by the way. Resist the attraction.

Whose handsome guy is this?

It's so beautiful to die for.

You feel the warm fermenting of the beer you just drank in your stomach, making your palms warm and your cheeks hot, as if your whole body began to glisten with joy.

"...Watching TV can give you dog food." Carl refills your beer, "You still want to pretend to be single?"

"Hey."

You concentrated on watching Eddie's part before slowly turning back to the bar, taking a sip of beer absent-mindedly, and staring at the decorative lights on the wall of the bar.

He's in New York, maybe a few miles away from you, or even just appeared on TV.

But just turning around, you feel that all the laughter and noise recede like a tide, and the transparent cover quietly separates you from the crowd. You are close to them, but the excitement cannot be conveyed to you.

You are missing someone.Thinking about it terribly, wanting to see his face, wanting to hear his voice, thinking about it terribly, as if I had hot acupuncture on my leg, and I could only bear it and not move.

You dipped your finger in some beer, lowered your head and scratched a few letters on the table.

Eddie.

Suddenly a round object fell in front of your eyes, and you were startled unprepared.

...is a chocolate.

The kind you always eat.

You look up and around, but everyone around you is busy talking or joking.You look at the top again, there is just a normal ceiling, there is no dark suspect except for the flickering lights.

There was another sound of something bouncing and bouncing after it hit the ground. You blinked your eyes and searched in the direction of the sound, only to find that the second chocolate fell on the ground a few steps away.Without even thinking about it, you ran over and grabbed it in your hand, and then the third one fell in front of you.

You leave the bar in the direction guided by the chocolate falling from the sky, walk to the sidewalk, and turn into a small alley.

A familiar figure in the alley was vaguely reflected in the light of the street lamp, you laughed happily, ran over without thinking of saying hello, and jumped up with open arms two steps away from him——

"Eddie!"

……and many more.

"Hi, baby," the subwoofer said with a smirk. "Merry Christmas."

Are you sure that the person standing here just now is a normal human being!God damn it changed into a living person and switched to the bastard alien species in a second!

Before you can grab the bastard and let him release Eddie, he hugs you in the same posture as you are jumping up, and then the sudden weightlessness makes your blood pressure soar and your head dizzy, and when you open your eyes again When you scold him for being an asshole, what you see is a scene tens of meters above the ground.

And the height is still rising.

"Bastard!!!!" You yelled at him, screaming every time he let go of his paws and jumped into the air, "Don't you know that there is a great invention of human beings called the elevator!??"

"Oh... I know." Venom said, "That's for the cowards."

"I'm a fucking coward!!!—Wooah!!!——Can you fucking do some human work!!!?"

"No." He answered you slowly, "I'm not human."

When you finally land on your feet, the first thing you do after the limp has subsided a bit is to kick that bastard Venom first.

"Ouch!"

...You kicked Eddie who suddenly appeared.

His hair has grown a bit during this period, and he probably combed it with hairspray before. Most of the hair is in a docile manner, but a few strands fell down in front of his forehead and hung there. Eddie raised his hand to smooth it up, and within a few minutes Seconds will drop again.He was wearing the fluffy, red and green scarf. In the weather at the end of December, he only added a windbreaker to the suit. The top button of the shirt was undone in disgust, and a dark blue sweater was tied under the collar. A tie with the little yellow duck printed on it.

"You told me," he said with a wink and a smile, "that if someone with this lovely tie wanted to buy you a drink, you'd say yes."

You were gasping for air to adjust your breathing, and your legs were still weak because of the fear of heights, but the smile on your face popped out like a grass sprouting in spring.You smiled helplessly, "Yes."

"I'll say yes," you say, "but there's no bar in this open-air penthouse."

"There is snow."

"what?"

Eddie touched your face, "It's going to snow tonight. You can't see it from the ground, but you can see it here."

As soon as he finished speaking, you felt something cool fall from your forehead.You look up into the sky, and sure enough, there are small snowflakes like icing sugar.

"Bringing me here just to see the snow? Okay." You squint your eyes with a happy smile. "Remember the night of our first date? It was the first snow of winter in New York."

"Yeah. I was sitting in the car holding that stupid helmet and you came down and kissed me."

"Tsk, what if I don't feel cold?"

He sighed, "Then I will drink beer in the apartment crying alone the next day because I regret not holding you back."

"Oh, what a poor boy." You pinched his face, "Crying and drinking beer, it's too miserable."

【He deserves it. 】Venom runs from Eddie's shoulder.

You looked at him with a smile, "I still have to settle today's bill with you."

Venom pretended not to hear, [Eddie is an idiot. 】

"...you're an idiot." You look at Eddie and say, "Stupid."

"It may be due to infection with parasites." Eddie said solemnly, "It affects intelligence."

【--What? ? 】Venom lost his temper and was pushed back by Eddie.

"I worked to support my family at the age of six, and I had to work overtime on Christmas Eve, so I got infected with parasites." You shook your head and sighed, "You're not just an idiot, you're simply the poorest kid in New York."

"So," Eddie laughed, "May I ask you a question, poor little New York?"

"Just ask."

"Can you marry me?"

"……what?"

What is he saying?

Is there really nothing wrong with your ears?

Poor and stupid Mr. Bullock smiles at you, his long eyelashes are covered with a little snow, there is no lighting here, but his eyes are full of stars, and they sparkle beautifully in the dark.

"will you marry me?"

Originally, after the night of the first snow and the first kiss, you thought that there would never be such a snowy night again, with blurred light, passing through the snowflakes flying all over the sky, conveying the quiet love, lightly and faintly Shine the beauty of your lover.

It turns out that every tomorrow can be more beautiful.

"Okay."

Today is your second Christmas in New York.

You have received a very good gift.

You laugh, but you seem to be crying again, "Someone with this cute little yellow duck tie wants to buy me wine for the next 70 years, and I'm sure I'll say yes."
