i missed you so

A return to normalcy. Venom surprised herself at how quickly she considered Hattori’s presence normal. He fit into place beside her in more ways than one, taking up any duty she asked of him and going above and beyond in places she wouldn’t expect. He’d proven in subtle but meaningful ways that he cared about her and everything she stood for. His loyalty was easy to earn and in return he had a firm grasp on her trust. Their relationship was mutually beneficial from the start, but now that she had him living without was difficult. She wondered if he felt the same way, judging by his greeting she thought he did. That thought brought the corners of her lips up lightly and her pretty pink nose flushed slightly as Hattori turned to seek after her well being.

Every word he spoke was important, not one to waste his breath she couldn’t help but feel special as he made sure of her welfare. Bright eyes flashed from under dark lashes as she looked up at him in return. Unwilling to hide the emotions he invoked in her she allowed the natural smile to play over her features. ”I am,” Venom assured him. ”I assume you were treated well under the Armada’s care?” She wouldn’t admit how much she missed him, but maybe that was obvious enough on its own. She enjoyed the way lines blurred between them, and she craved more but was thankful that Hattori held back with such steadfast resolve.

Poison returned on the ground, in his paws a fur wrapped package. Venom hadn’t been able to find much, but she’d managed something all the same. ”I have some things for you.” From both the Empress and more importantly from Venom.
