Italics for when Venom is talking inside Peter's head

—————————————

"Wait I found it, Ned! It's down this alleyway! I'll go get it!" Peter shouted, running down the alleyway and dropping to the floor on his side to get the ball that had rolled under the dumpster. He flinched when he felt something wet and slimy on his hand but he ignored it because he had a firm hold on the ball. He pulled it out and smiled in triumph but then cried out when he saw a black mass sinking onto his skin. Probably just a trick of the light.

"PETER! What's taking so long?!" Ned shouted. Peter shook his head in confusion.

"Nothing! I'm coming!"

—————————————

"Peter that suit isn't going to protect you forever! You have to be more careful!" Harley shouted. Peter flinched, taking a step back from Harley. They'd been fighting about this since the moment they got together.

We should tell him, Peter.

Peter shook his head to himself, no, Harley would freak out and he'd just leave like everyone else.

But Harley is different. We like Harley.

"Harls' I am careful. And I'm always fine." Peter said calmly. Harley was red in the face, tears dribbling down his cheeks and onto the carpet of his room.

"But you aren't careful! I saw the footage from that bank robbery! You took six bullets and you didn't even tell me!" Harley shouted. Peter flinched again.

We need to tell him, Peter. Or he will find out.

Peter sighed, we knew that Venom was right. He sat down gently on Harley's bed, patting the spot next to himself and looking up at Harley who sighed and sat next to him.

"Harley. I need to tell you something but you have to promise me that you'll listen to me and that you won't freak out when I tell you." Peter said softly. Harley looked at him in confusion.

"Are you breaking up with me?" He said, voice breaking with worry. Peter's eyes bulged out of his head, shaking his head frantically.

"No! No Haley's no, god, I'm in love with you. I love you, Harley, I don't think I could ever, ever leave you." Peter said firmly, fresh tears spilled out of Harley's eyes, his mouth opening and closing. They'd never said that to each other.

"Peter I love you too. And I promise you I won't think of you differently." Harley said firmly. Peter nodded slowly.

"Well, you know how there was that big scandal in San Fran about that company that extracted an alien species from space and started putting them in host bodies to form symbiotic relationships?" Peter asked slowly. Harley nodded in confusion.

"Yeah, and one was reported missing and they assumed it was dead," Harley said in confusion. Peter swallowed, Venom materialising on his shoulder and peeking out of his collar.

"Missing, yes. But dead, no." Peter said. Harley reaches out and pet Venom tentatively, causing Venom to nuzzle into his hand.

"How? When?" Harley breathed.

"We are venom." Venom said. Peter grinned, reaching to pat Venom's head.

"Yeah, bud I'm getting to it. Uh, I was ten and I walked into an alleyway to get a ball Ned had kicked in. I thought I was just imagining it but there was this black mass on my hand sinking into my skin. A few days later I was throwing up everywhere and there was this voice in my head and I thought I was going insane. And May found out but we saw the stuff on the news and we realised we couldn't go to the doctor so we kind of just talked to him. And he said as long as I fed him chocolate regularly because it has a chemical in it that's crucial for his survival that we'd be fine and he wouldn't eat my organs." Peter rambled.

"And tater tots." Venom said seriously. Peter nodded, smiling slightly.

"Yes. And tater tots. We have something called symbiosis, which means we perfectly match each other and benefit each other." Peter said gently. Harley nodded, scratching Venom's head making him purr quietly.

"How does that work?" Harley asked quietly.

"We protect Peter and he protects us." Venom explained solemnly. Peter rolled his eyes, eyeing the black good pecking out of his sleeve.

"Basically I just do everything like normal and avoid certain frequencies. And he protects me. He fixes injuries, hormone imbalances. It's like this protective layer that absorbs everything." Peter explained. Harley nodded, smiling softly at Venom who was purring louder now.

"So the bullets?" Harley asked carefully.

"Tasty." Venom said. Peter chuckled.

"He broke it down and then absorbed everything," Peter explained. Harley narrowed his eyes.

"Okay. I approve of your extracurricular. Does anyone other than May know?" Harley asked. Peter sighed, leaning his head on Harley's shoulder, wrapping his arms around Harley's waist. Venom responded by leaning on Harley's other shoulder.

"No. Just me and May. And now you." Peter said softly. Harley nodded, kissing Peter's head and then Venom's when he protested.

"Okay. I promise I won't tell anyone and I promise that I don't think of you differently. Or Venom." Harley said gently.

"I like him." Venom whispered. Peter giggled in response.

"Yes, I like him too."

"Uh, Rogues, Peter Parker. Spiderman." Tony said awkwardly. He gestured to Peter who waved shyly.

"He's like twelve!" Clint shouted. Peter flinched and clamped his hands over his ears.

"Sixteen. And please refrain from shouting. Not everyone has normal senses." Peter said.

They are annoying Peter. We should bite their head off.

Peter shook his head to himself and dropped his hands. Tony shifted nervously beside him, the rogues silent in the living room. Peter narrowed his eyes at the team who were staring at him open-mouthed.

"How irresponsible are you, Tony?! You let a kid fight in Garmany?!" Steve shouted. Peter and Venom didn't miss how Tony flinched violently, shrinking into himself.

We must protect Tony, Peter.

Peter nodded to himself, stepping infront of Tony and putting his hands on his hips.

"Mister Stark did nothing wrong. When I met him when I was fifteen and I have been Spiderman since I was thirteen. Mister Stark allowed me to be smart, safer and better. He taught me how to fight, train and pick my battles. He was the only person who believed in me. And I'll have you know that mister Stark has always taken care of me and always cared about my wellbeing." Peter said firmly.

"Excuse me, young man, this is for the adults," Steve said. Peter narrowed his eyes further, stepping closer to Steve.

"You don't act like an adult. Adults don't try to kill their best friends. Adults don't walk back into their old friends lives like nothing happened. They don't expect to be welcomed with open arms even though they did nothing to deserve it." Peter seethed, close enough to Steve that they were eye level.

You've gotten taller Peter.

Peter decided he'd ignore Venom for the time being even though he was very happy he'd gotten taller.

"What are you talking about?" Natasha asked.

"Nothing Natasha. It's nothing." Steve said firmly. Peter chuckled darkly.

"So he didn't tell you? He didn't tell you that he plugged his shield into Mister Stark's arc reactor knowing it would be fatal. And he left him there to die. I was the one that found him. And I brought him back. And you didn't even tell them? Such a good leader Rogers." Peter seethed.

"You're nothing but a meddling teenager," Steve said, poking Peter's chest harshly.

"Steve that's enough. Don't hurt Peter." Tony said, attempting to pull Peter back by his shoulders. Peter held up his hand, his own eyes boring into Steve's.

We should bite his head off.

Peter blinked rapidly, he hated that he cried when he got angry.

"You should be ashamed Steve Rogers," Peter said firmly. Something flashed in Steve's eyes as he went to lunch Peter across the face, Peter caught his hand easily, squeezing enough to make Steve cry out.

"Why didn't you tell me you tried to kill him? You told me to leave so you could kill him?!" Bucky shouted from behind Steve.

"I was trying to protect you." Steve gritted out.

"Bullshit. You're a selfish bastard." Peter spat. When Steve went to punch him with his other hand Peter caught it, turning them and pinning Steve against the wall, holding his off of the ground by his throat.

"Woah! Peter! You have to calm down!" Tony shouted. Peter turned, his eyes black and black slim dripping out of his hair.

"We are venom." He said, his voice deep and gravely. Tony blinked in surprise, he didn't think this was a spider thing.

"FRIDAY? What's wrong with Peter?" Tony asked in confusion.

"Peter is host to a symbiote by the name of Venom. Venom appears to have taken control of his systems and Peter's mind is dormant." FRIDAY answered simply.

"We will not let you hurt our family." Venom peter said.

"Pete, or Venom, whatever, no ones hurt," Tony said gently, creeping forward.

"Contacting Mister Keener." FRIDAY said suddenly. Tony narrowed his eyes, if he were honest he was enjoying the sight of Steve struggling to breath being held up by Peter's hand.

"Why are you contacting Harley?" Tony asked.

"Mr Parker and Mr Keener created a protocol which instructs me to contact Mr Leener in the event Venom takes over Mr Parker's primary systems," FRIDAY explained.

"Why don't I know about this protocol?" Toky asked.

"It is one of Mr Parker's many secret protocols," FRIDAY said. Tony was about to say something when Harley burst out of the elevator and ran towards Venom Peter.

"Oh, shit. What happened?" He asked. Tony looked between Venom and Harley.

"Tell me, Tony!" Harley demanded. Tony blinked, nodding slowly.

"Uh, I, Uh, Peter got mad at Cap because Cap didn't tell the rogues about him trying to kill me and he said something about protecting his family." Toky rushed out. Harley nodded.

"Okay, Vee, does Peter have any control right now?" Harley asked, stepping forward so he was next to Steve and Venom, ignoring Steve for the time being.

"No. Peter is dormant." Venom said shortly. Harley nodded.

"Uh, why? Peter's never been fully dormant." Harley asked worriedly.

"Peter's adrenaline and fear hormones spiked and I was worried for his wellbeing so I offered to take control of the situation but Peter shut down. He is now producing worrying levels of melatonin and adrenaline." Venom said evenly.

"Okay. And why are you holding Mr Rogers up against the wall?" Harley asked. He eyed the tendrils of black goo travelling down Peter's arms and evading his torso.

"He tried to hurt Peter and Tony. I will not let Peter be hurt under my care nor will I let Tony be hurt in my presence. Peter is very fond of Tony." Venom said. Harley nodded slowly, reaching out and gently and wrapping his fingers around Peter's wrist, pulling his arm away from Steve's neck, Steve dropped to the floor and scampered away from Venom Peter.

"Okay well Tony isn't hurt, are you, Tony?" Harley asked, looking over his shoulder at Tony who grinned.

"No. I'm very good. My colesterol levels are actually very good." Toky said.

"Exactly. And is Peter hurt?" Harley asked. Venom Peter's face twisted.

"His heart is hurting and I am unsure why." Venom said. Harley sighed.

"That's love buddy. He loves a lot of people because of his enhanced emotions. Like me, and Tony, May, Ned, MJ." Harley said. Venom Peter nodded.

"Humans are strange." He said seriously. Harley smiled.

"Yes. They are. But uh, I happen to really like Peter, and he's human. Do you think he can come back?" Harley asked. Venom peter narrowed his eyes.

"Peter is refusing." Venom said regretfully. Harley's eyes widened in surprise.

"Why's that? Can Uh, can he talk to me?" Harley asked. He'd never seen Venom fully in control, the black goo was almost fully covering Peter's body now.

"He refuses." Venom said regretfully.

"Why?" Harley asked.

"Peter is scared for Tony's reaction and yours to my appearance and scared for his safety." Venom said quietly.

"Oh buddy, I would ever, ever hurt Peter no matter what. Nor would I hurt you, it's obvious Peter and you care for each other and as long as Peter is happy I'm happy." Tony said gently.

"I can see why Peter thinks of you as a father." Venom said seriously. Tony opened and closed his mouth several times before nodding slowly. Harley shifted nervously on his feet.

"Uh, I think I know how to get Peter back but I have to do something stupid." Harley said.

"What does this stupid thing involve?" Venom asked. Harley shrugged, glancing at Tony who didn't know about Peter and he dating.

"Uh? Kissing?" Harley said. Venom nodded slowly and sunk back into Peter's skin enough to reveal peter face. Harley surged forward and held him still around his neck, kissing him firmly with his eyes squeezed shut. The black in Peter's eyes quickly faded, revealing Peter's eyes and his body back to normal. Peter's eyes were wide, hands frozen in the air. Harley pulled back, still holding Peter's neck. Peter blinked several times.

"Good idea. It worked." Peter said softly. Harley grinned, patting Peter's cheek encouragingly.

"I still love you, you know? And you Venom, don't ask like I can't see you out of Peter's shirt." Harley said, patting Vwnom's head. Peter nodded slowly.

"Mhm. Love you too. I'm gonna go make tater tots." Peter breathed, patting Harley's shoulder and turning on his heel and walking into the kitchen.

"Why did I not know that my two favourite interns are dating?" Tony asked incredulously. Harley shrugged.

"You didn't know that Peter has a symbiote either," Harley said, blushing madly.

"Oh my god. Was that your first kiss?" Tony asked, grinning madly.

"Perhaps," Harley said curtly. Tony grinned.

"And you guys are already saying the L-word?" Tony teased. Harley rolled his eyes.

"Shut up old man." Harley seethed.

"Uh. What the fuck?" Clint asked.

"Peter has an alien living in his body and he acts as host. I am Peter's boyfriend. Tony is Peter's father figure but he doesn't know it. Don't mess with Tony because said alien living in Peter's body will tear you to pieces and makes him virtually invincible." Harley said.

"You damn parasite! Get your teeth away from my organs! The tater tots are almost done! No! Get away from my liver!" Peter screamed from the kitchen.

"And that's my cue to stop my insane boyfriend from burning down Stark Towers." Harley drawled, turning on his heel and walking into the kitchen.

"And I'm going to follow because I want to know more about this father figure business," Tony said, followed by screaming from Peter and Venom.

"You know what. I'm gonna go back to my farm."
