Hey Readers! Happy New Year to you all!

Hope you all had a nice break, but now it's time to go back to school and work (BOO!) So I wrote a story about Eddie and Venom getting a break from school because of the flu. Hope you enjoy!


Sick Day:

Eddie blew his nose into another tissue, soaking it in snot, before weakly tossing it into the small bucket right by his bed.

SO TELL ME AGAIN WHY WE CANNOT FIX THIS, Venom asked inquisitively, obviously not a fan of his host being sick.

"Because," the boy started to say before erupting into a fit of couching and sneezing, "y-y-you don't know enough about the f-flu to heal me completely."

BUT WE CAN STILL EASE YOUR PAIN SOMEWHAT.

"Really?"

YES. WHY DO YOU THINK THAT YOU STOPPED VOMITING?

"That was you," Eddie asked, slightly delirious from the fever. "Thanks, buddy."

There was a knock at the door, and Eddie's dad stuck his head in. "Still out of it," the man asked, giving his son a worried look.

"Y-Yeah," the boy coughed, trying not to get his dad sick. "I… I drank some orange juice."

"Okay. Do you think you'll be fine here by yourself, bud?"

"Yeah."

"Fine, then. I'll be back by four."

"Okay." His dad shut the door after that, leaving the boy and alien alone.

BUT WHY WOULD YOU WANT US TO NOT HEAL YOU COMPLETELY, the symbiote asked, still confused; normally, he could read Eddie's mind, but the fever made it difficult for him. IF YOU GIVE US TIME, WE MIGHT LEARN ENOUGH ABOUT IT TO COMBAT IT.

"Because," Eddie said slowly, blowing his nose again, "then we don't have to go to school."

BUT ALL WE WOULD DO IS LIE IN BED ALL DAY DOING NOTHING.

"Exactly," the boy grinned. "And that makes it worth all the aches and pains."

THOUGH WE'LL TRY TO GET RID OF THOSE FOR YOU.

"Wait, how exactly are you getting rid of my symptoms?"

EASY. WE TELL YOUR BODY THAT IT'S NOT SICK, AND THAT IT SHOULD FUNCTION NORMALLY.

"So… I still have the symptoms, but I don't notice them?"

YES.

"Again, thanks for that."

NO PROBLEM.

"Wait, what about my vomit?"

WE ATE IT.

"EWW!"

Sure, being sick sucked (no matter how old you were), and he knew that he'd have to make up all the work he missed when he got back to school in a week, but at least he wouldn't be bored during his extended bed rest.


Hope you enjoyed it! Sorry it's kinda short, but I didn't want to overwhelm all of you going back to school or work this week.

As always, follow and favorite the story (or me) if you want to be updated on new chapters and stories, and feel free to leave a review if you want!

Have a great day today, and keep on reading!
