My muse reading aloud to yours
It had been an exhausting day for them both, he was sure. Venom and Flash were finally finding something of a synergistic relationship again, no longer having to rely on drugs or sedatives in order to work together. It was tentative, and trying to keep out of the limelight until the crime scene would more or less calm down, but there was always something and someone, somewhere, they needed help. Which was why Flash had collapsed on the couch where Stephen had been sitting first thing, becoming a bit more emboldened in seeking affections from him that he was too happy to oblige. Stephen hummed as he stroked through strawberry blond locks, feeling the man sag with relaxation as the ministrations seemed to be making him drowsy.
Of course, Venom too was interested in attaining affection, curling around his neck and nuzzling into his jaw, Stephen turning a page of the book on the book stand a he rest his cheek on Venom’s form, the symbiote trilling pleasurably from the affections. By then, Flash had seemed to fallen asleep entirely, the gentle caresses not even ceasing. Clearing his throat, knowing Venom wouldn’t be swayed away so easily.
“Have you ever had poetry read to you, dear heart?” he murmured softly, as not to awake the slumbering man on his lap. “I think you’ll like this poem in particular.” Venom shuddered pleasurably and warmly, blinking owlishly as Stephen began reading, the dusky tone of his voice seeming to lull them all.
