One day Venom and Eddie were walking up the stairs to their apartment, a delightful aroma filled the stairway
What is that? It smells like chocolate but better
Venom couldn’t imagine what would be better than chocolate
Eddie reached his apartment when Venom took over his legs, directing him to the source of the smell
The apartment down the hall
“We can’t just barge into people’s apartments just because we want-”
Before Eddie could finish, Venom had forced Eddie’s hand to knock against the door
You opened the door, the sweet scent flooding out of your apartment
“I was just making some brownies. I was going to give them out to introduce myself to our neighbours but you’re welcome to come in.”
“I don’t think-”
Eddie could hear Venom growling in his mind
“Sure, we- I mean I would love to.”
You set out a plate of brownies and a glass of milk on the table in the kitchen and made small talk with Eddie as you worked on your next batch
You told him all about how you were a food writer and Eddie told you about his job as an investigative journalist
Eddie reached for another brownie before realizing he and Venom had eaten the entire plate
You chuckled when you noticed and set out a fresh plate for him
“The secret is to brown the butter and sugar before adding the rest of the ingredients.”
Eddie, I like this one.
Because of your job when you’re either writing restaurant reviews or recipe testing
It makes you glad knowing that there’s an overworked journalist down the hall who will happily finish the six different kinds of dumplings you’ve prepared and give you his feedback
Now that Venom’s palate has been expanded he starts acting really bougie about the food Eddie feeds him
Do we have truffle oil?
Eddie scoffed, “Of course we don’t have truffle oil”
Hmph Venom rolled the tater tots around on the sheet pan
“So you’re not going to eat it?”
Y/N probably has truffle oil.
Eddie once again finds himself knocking on your door and of course you locate the truffle oil in your well-stocked pantry.
“What are you making?”
“Tater tots” Eddie was sheepish embarrassed that the food he was eating was so pedestrian
You give him your truffle oil but also throw in a wedge of parmigiano reggiano and some sprigs of fresh parsley
You end up searing a hanger steak to go with Eddie’s dressed up tater tots
And that was the first meal the two of you shared
From then on, your life was quite intertwined with Eddie and Venom
Eddie helps you keep your identity secret when you’re critiquing restaurants
As an investigative journalist, he has a plethora of tools in his arsenal to help disguise your identity
“Eddie I don’t really think I need to use a voice modifier when ordering”
Venom gets a little frustrated when you spend five minutes taking photos of your food before he’s allowed to eat
Although he tries to make sure you get the perfect shot on the first time so he can eat sooner
He helps by contorting himself to make sure the light bounces off your food perfectly
When you move in, Eddie and Venom are always coming home to an apartment that smells amazing
Occasionally V’s tongue slithers out as he licks a spot tomato sauce that had splattered on your cheek
You bring Eddie and Venom dinner when he has to stay late at the office working on a story
Eddie wanted to give you a break and tries cooking dinner for you.
Venom peering into Eddie’s thoughts of bland chicken and soggy vegetables
She’s not going to want to eat this.
Eddie is kind of helpless at cooking so Venom takes over Eddie’s body
He makes you butternut squash ravioli in pesto with a chocolate lava cake for dessert
You were thoroughly impressed
Venom’s been reading gourmet food magazines while Eddie is sleeping
He smiles when he sees your name under the articles published in Bon Appetit or Saveur
That one is ours
Venom’s ultra sharp claws means he doesn’t even have to use a knife
It’s especially helpful when you’re making pico de galo for taco night because tomatoes and onions are such a pain to chop
After fighting some bad guys at Pier 39, something caught Venom’s attention and he pulled Eddie to the edge of the pier
“Buddy, I don’t think Y/N wants to cook sea lion for you”
Instead, they bring back half a dozen Dungeness crabs for you
You make Eddie and Venom a delicious Malaysian chilli crab dish
