don't go breaking my heart

Part of her had to stop and convince herself that she wasn’t dreaming as she walked alongside Maverick on their way back home. She was taking him home. Venom’s heart beat fast with the excitement of it, like she was a love struck yearling. This was better than any lustful flights of fancy she had before, and though she was loath to admit, even Hattori had not made her feel the emotion that Maverick elicited within. He excited her, he created a spark in her life that made her realize her drive for life. More than anything she was excited to take on the world with him beside her. Her vagabond.

The walk was filled with little teasing bumps of her shoulder as they walked, and she found the way their tails curled together comforting as a visual representation of the path their hearts were set upon. Venom claimed the man as her own, and in turn she gave of herself. They might not have been together for very long, but his penchant of loving fast was shared with her song with his smile. Venom was certain of her decision when faced with the alternative. Maverick enhanced her life and she didn’t want to go back to a time without him. She wasn’t miserable while she threw herself into her work with a broken heart, but being alone hadn’t been kind to her.

By the time they returned to Ashen’s border, the sunrise was right around the corner. The light of the day was just breaking over the horizon as Venom paused to welcome Maverick into his new home. This was the moment that she had craved, while she had fallen all too fast for him this final result was everything she wanted and needed in him. He’d stolen her heart with ease, but his agreement to come home was proof she had done the same.

Venom led him to the palace, she sent Anko in before to clear the way. She hadn’t wanted to see anyone, there would be plenty of time to share Maverick with the rest of the pack tomorrow. For now she wanted his sole attention as she gave him hers. He was given a tiny tour on the way, but the main event was the palace. She led him across the land bridge and escorted him to her private quarters deep into the mountain cave. She gestured with her white gloved paw, "Welcome home.” She told him sweetly as she lifted her features to his cheek to kiss him softly.

"Venom"
