Hey everyone!
I'm so sorry for not posting in so long, but thank you for your patience! I finished college, as well as another big story of mine, and I want to get back into the habit of posting a chapter once a month for this fic!
Anyway, here's part one of... well, you'll see! And I apologize for the shorter chapter this time. Enjoy!
Mr. Brock Finds Out - Part One
It had all started due to a bad idea of Eddie's.
Venom had left for a few hours, taking over the body of a squirrel that had crawled too close to the window. During that time, Eddie had gone to Mrs. Chen's to get some snacks, including some chocolate for his alien friend. Coming back home, he had put up the food, but paused when he was about to put the chocolate bars in the pantry.
I don't wanna have to come all the way back down here from upstairs once V gets back, he thought. And I don't wanna eat chocolate, either. But Venom's gonna go for it as soon as he finds it. A sudden idea came to the teen. But if he DOESN'T find them...
Smirking a little, he pocketed the candy and went back upstairs. Hiding the chocolate underneath his mattress, he went back to studying, waiting for his friend to return. An hour later, there was a light tapping at his bedroom window, and Venom the Squirrel was back.
"Hey, buddy," Eddie said as the black sludge that was his friend crawled out of the squirrel (who instantly bolted away from the window) and into the human's hand. "Have a nice trip?"
WE DID, Venom replied. AT ONE POINT A DOG WAS CHASING US, SO WE- He suddenly stopped taking, and his host felt his mood shift. EDDIE... YOU HAVE CHOCOLATE.
"I don't know what you're talking about," the teenager replied casually, walking over to his desk.
WE CAN SMELL THE CHOCOLATE ON YOUR HANDS, the alien symbiote retorted. AND WE CAN SMELL IT IN THIS ROOM! WHERE IS IT?!
"I'm not gonna tell you."
WHAT?!
"I don't wanna eat chocolate now, so I won't tell you where it is."
TELL US NOW!
"Dude, yelling at me to give you candy isn't gonna make me do that," Eddie said as Venom poked his head out of his shoulder to glare at him. "Besides, ever since that whole dumpster-diving revelation-"
"WE APOLOGIZED FOR THAT," Venom protested.
"-chocolate's lost it's appeal for me," the human continued. "So no offense, buddy; I know you love chocolate, but I can't keep eating it every day. Okay?"
The alien grumbled angrily, and Eddie waited patiently for his friend to agree and then go and sulk for a while. It was usually how these conversations went, and he wasn't expecting anything to be different. That is, until the Venom sludge suddenly bolted for the chocolate he had hidden under his mattress, pulling Eddie along with him.
"VENOM," the teenager cried, slamming face-first into his mattress. "DUDE! Calm down! Stop-"
"YOU WILL NOT KEEP THE CHOCOLATE FROM US," the symbiote protested, now tearing at the teenager's mattress with his mouth to get to the candy hidden beneath it. "YOU ARE JUST BEING A WUSS, NOT WANTING TO EAT CHOCOLATE! WE NEED IT TO SURVIVE, UNLESS YOU'D RATHER WE EAT HUMANS!"
"No humans, but-"
"THEN IT'S SETTLED!" Venom tore off another chunk of mattress and tossed it aside. "WE'RE TAKING THAT-"
The bedroom door suddenly swung open, startling the two friends and making them whirl around to see who it was. Eddie froze when he saw who was standing in the doorway, his heart seeming to clench in his chest. Venom, his head still sticking out of the boy's shoulder, stared at the man for a few moments before slowly releasing the piece of mattress he held in his mouth.
Carl Brock, Eddie's father, stared at the scene in front of him in shock, not expecting to see this upon coming home from work early. But eventually, he found his voice.
"What the -"
Yep! Finally we get to see Eddie's father finding out about the Venom symbiote. The aftermath of this chapter and more details will come in the next chapter!
