Sony after realizing that everyone loves Venom as an inter-species rom-com and marketing as a romantic comedy in the new trailer:
Venom: Wow I can’t believe I have to make out with Eddie to save this planet
Anne: Well you don’t really have to
Venom, putting on lip balm: No, I’m gonna
Eddie, in all his self-righteous “I’m a reporter who must find the truth and take down barons” self, goes after Tony post-Iron Man, falsely assuming Iron Man is a cover-up for something bigger. Tony’s expected reporters like Eddie Brock to question him, so he lets Eddie to a complete investigation of literally every aspect of Tony’s life.
When Eddie comes up empty-handed, he apologizes to Tony for assuming the worst and Tony pulls the classic line of “how about you make it up to me with dinner?” and Tony honestly meant for it to be a one night stand, but somehow he ended up really falling for this reporter guy.
Flash to Eddie losing his entire job and rep from his fail at trying to take down Life Foundation, and he’s in a deep depression that even Tony has trouble knocking him out of.
Then the whole Venom thing happens and Eddie desperately avoids Tony because fuck, Tony cannot see him like this, hell no.
We’ll assume that chick in the movie is just Eddie’s really good friend and was never anything more.
Once Eddie and Venom finally beat Riot, Tony convinces the chick to tell him what the hell is going on, and he’s royally pissed at Eddie, but also makes damn sure Eddie knows that Tony still loves and supports him, and is sticking with him through this.
So of course, shenanigans ensue of Tony and Eddie adjusting to living with a third party. And once Eddie convinces Venom that Tony is not edible, Venom slowly starts to tolerate Tony too.
Oh, and their sex life definitely gets more interesting.
Per Eddie’s request, Tony keeps their relationship and Eddie’s Venom status under wrap. It’s not until an absolutely dire situation in which Eddie has to run in full Venom mode to save the Avenger’s asses that Tony finally admits “Yeah, this is my boyfriend. He has a bit of a parasite problem- VENOM DON’T YOU DARE EAT CAPTAIN AMERICA, I KNOW WHAT YOU’RE THINKING, AND NO YOU MAY NOT. GIVE EDDIE CONTROL BACK, PLEASE”
Okay, so, I was thinking last night about the fact that Venom looks a little bit like the chitauri build-wise. I mean, obviously there are a lot of differences, but if you played ‘Who’s That Alien?’ with their outlines, it’d be a pretty close call. Now, imagine Eddie and Tony being in a committed relationship, maybe it’s new, maybe Eddie just liked to keep up his indepenance so he doesn’t spend the night often. Tony knows about Venom; they even get along really well. All in all, it’s a very happy, healthy semi-polyamorous relationship.
Until the night that Tony has a nightmare and ends up smacking Eddie across the face with his flailing. Venom is instantly on alert, reacting to the bloom of pain by taking over and springing from the bed, already snarling and looking for the threat. Instead, he finds only Tony, now awake and staring at him with wide, terrified eyes. It’d been a long time since Tony was scared of him. It stings to see it on his face now. Venom reaches out, only for Tony to flinch back, scrambling away and all but falling out of the bed in his haste.
“No! No!” he cries. “Stay away from me!”
Venom can hear the way his heartrate skyrockets, can watch as the panic consumes him. It quickly becomes clear that while Tony is here, he isn’t here. Venom doesn’t know what to do. Knows something is wrong, but he doesn’t know what. Useless against a threat he can’t find, he gives in to Eddie’s urging and let’s his host take back control of their body.
Hours later, Tony sleeping fitfully with his head in their lap as Eddie runs thier fingers gently through his hair, Venom learns about a human term called a panic attack. He learns about trauma and PTSD, about the shadows that haunts their lover’s mind. He fears that these shadows haunt their lover every time he sees Venom’s full form.
After that, Venom is more careful. He makes sure to purposefully allow his form to take a more amorphous shape when Tony is nearby, or to only partially form. He doesn’t want to be something Tony must fear. Tony doesn’t say anything, he’s absolutely shit at talking about his emotions, but Venom can see the gratitude in his eyes. At night, when he and Eddie do sleep over, he curls around both of his humans, ready to protect against anything that might think to harm them.
And Tony never fails to give him a soft kiss to whatever part that’s nearest in thanks.
