venomtine's day

He was worried what Venom would think, if she too would judge him for what he was admitting. His ears perked when her first words were understanding ‘its hard’ she admitted. Was it? Did others find it hard, too? She didn’t think his siblings had ever admitted such a thing. She introduced a new word to his life ‘empathy’ a word that described him, or at least, she thought so. He puffed up a little when she said it was a good thing, but also that he had to push past it.

He was grateful for her words, for the understanding, without giving ground. Yes, it was hard, but it was a fact of life. It was more than Sirius had given him. He crept forward, and kissed her cheek, looking up at her with grateful eyes. “Thanks, Snake” he said appreciatively. “Could you… maybe… give me hunting lessons?” it was so easy to trust this woman.
