Help him
(Spider-Man X Female Venom!Reader)
This short will feature Spider-Man. You can imagine it as any Spider-Man but I just wanted to use this gif of Tom's version.
Enjoy!
-------------
"It's really quiet tonight." Y/n said, sitting on top of a building, looking down at the city below for any signs of trouble. But there was nothing but traffic and the bright lights of billboards and advertisements.
"Maybe the bad guys are having a party or something. Annual meet-up?" Venom suggested, his floating head shaking from side to side. He was extremely bored.
Y/n hummed then stood, taking one last look at the city to double check for signs of havoc. "I guess we get a night off" She said, beginning to turn away from the city when Venom suddenly called her name.
"Y/n! Look!" Y/n whipped around looking where Venom was looking. The sky. A huge portal-like hole in the sky, mixes of blues, reds and purples swirling around it like magic.
Next thing they knew, a figure was falling from that portal. Y/n cursed before Venom formed around her and started jumping across buildings to get to the person before they hit the ground.
Venom jumped through the air, catching the figure mid-air and landing on a flat building.
Venom put the body down, going back inside. Y/n hesitantly looked over the figure. It was a man, dressed in some weird red and blue costume, lined with a black web-like pattern. A spider symbol in the middle of his chest.
He looked badly hurt, and if this was a superhero or something, then what hurt him? Would it be following after him? Y/n looked up to the sky again, not seeing any other mysterious people fall from the portal. The portal seemed to shrink, getting smaller and smaller until it disappeared completely.
"Shit" Y/n looked back down at the man, crouching in order to get a better look at him.
Parts of his suit were ripped, showing some of the worst injuries the hero had gotten. She went to rest her hand on his chest to try and wake him up when Venom stopped her.
"I know this asshole." Venom said, his head popping out to go close to the man's mask. He looked like he wanted to eat him.
"Venom. Leave him alone" Y/n scolded, making Venom back away slightly.
"This is Spider-Bitch. Or Spider-Man, as he likes to call himself. I met him before when I was with Eddie. We fought him but he found our weakness. Eddie and I couldn't find his. But now I know...Whoever beat him up is his weakness..." There was a beat of silence before Venom exclaimed. "Perhaps it's his sister!"
Y/n looked confused. "Does he even have a sister?" She asked, looking at the man's mask, half of the material ripped off to show the skin underneath. "Should I wake him up?" She asked, unsure of how to proceed.
"Yeah, give him a slap across the face" Venom grinned mischievously.
She gave him a look in response before gently placing her hand onto the man's forehead. "He's hot" She said, a little worried.
"You just met him" Venom said, shocked.
"Not like that. I meant he's too warm, which doesn't really make any sense. He's been here for a good minute, he should be cooled down by now, especially on a freezing night like this" Y/n told him. "Let's take him home and see what we can do for him"
"What!? No! There's no way I'm helping someone who beat me up and tried to burn me alive. No!" Venom immediately protested.
"This is most likely not the Spider-Man who fought you. He fell from the sky through a magic portal, for fucks sake" Y/n rolled her eyes at him.
Venom was silent for a moment before groaning loudly. "Fine! But I better be getting chocolate out of this!"
Venom formed around her before picking Spidey up again and taking off towards Y/n's flat.
-----
When they arrived, Venom practically threw Spider-Man onto the couch carelessly, causing Y/n to scold him the minute he let her have control.
"Don't throw the guy around the place. He's probably really sore and we don't want you hurting him even more." Y/n said.
"Well, maybe I want to hurt him even more" Venom shot back like a snappy little teenager.
Y/n went to get some towels and cool water, placing the damp cloths on the man's head. The mask that he wore was missing an eye piece, allowing her to have a peek at his soft toned skin and closed eyes. She hesitantly began to remove the man's mask when he suddenly sprung to life, grabbing her wrist causing her to freeze and stare at him wide eyed.
"Don't...Please" He wheezed out, his voice broken. Yet his eyes held the most pain Y/n had ever seen in a person. By now Venom had gone inside to hide.
She let go of his mask. "Okay...But you have to cool down. Otherwise you'll get sick." She told him.
He looked away from her and stared up at the ceiling with soft sleepy eyes. "I just need to rest a little, that's all. I'll be fine in a couple minutes" He replied.
"Hate to break it to you, sir, but you've got loads of broken bones and shit. I shouldn't even have you at my house, you need a hospital" Y/n replied.
The man looked at her, shaking his head slowly. "I'm a fast healer. I'll be alright. Thank you" He gave her a small smile and rested his hands over his stomach, trying to get comfortable
Y/n looked down at his suit before glancing up at him. "I would ask your name but you're wearing a spider suit. I'll tell you now that we don't have Spider-Man here." She said, making the man look at her confused.
"Where am I?" He asked.
"San Francisco. But I assume it's not your San Francisco. You fell through some kind of magic portal. I saved you and brought you here. I'm Y/n L/n, by the way." The man stared at her, trying to wrap his head around what happened to him.
After a few beats of silence, he reached up, slowly taking his mask off to reveal a handsome face. He then spoke like saying his own name was unnatural to him. "I'm..Peter."
Y/n smiled a bit and nodded. "Nice to meet you, Peter." She stood up from her crouched position and headed to the kitchen. "I'll let you rest. Are you hungry at all?"
"Uh, yeah. If it's no problem-" Peter was cut off.
"It's no problem." Y/n smiled, before disappearing from Peter's sight into the kitchen. "Do you like curry?"
"Love it" Peter closed his eyes, relaxing more.
As Y/n got pans and other kitchen appliances out, Venom's head appeared beside her. "Why do you like him so much?" He asked, sounding almost..Jealous? Like a dog when their owner gets another pet.
Y/n glanced at him before retrieving the chicken from the fridge and curry from the press. "He's harmless. Like a little spider." She smiled.
If Venom could, he would've rolled his eyes. (Wait a minute, can he?) "Well, do remember that he tried and failed to kill me." He grumbled.
"And do remember that the Peter in there is not the one who tried to kill you" Y/n shot back.
"If he did it in one universe, he'll do it in all of them." Venom stated.
"No, V. If that were the case other universes wouldn't exist. Not one universe is the exact same as the other." Y/n corrected the Symbiote.
Venom rolled his eyes again. "You don't know Spider-Bitch like I do. He's dangerous, Y/n. You have no idea what he might do if he finds out about me" He tried to reason.
As soon as the food was cooking, Y/n peeped her head out of the kitchen, seeing Peter had fallen asleep.
"Just how dangerous is he? Look at him, V, he's a guy in cosplay" She chuckled at how Venom stayed hidden in the kitchen. "If he so much as thinks wrongly of us, I'll kick him out in a flash. You've got nothing to worry about, Venom. I'll protect you." Y/n teased.
Venom huffed. "And what are you going to do? Kill him with kindness?"
Y/n shrugged. "I was thinking about telling him to leave..?" She chuckled.
"Or we could just rip his face off while he's sleeping? He won't see us coming" Venom grinned at the thought, but his words flew over Y/n's head as she was too focused on the man sleeping on her couch.
His curly brown hair fell over his face, helping to shape it perfectly. Though he was riddled with bruises and cuts, he looked like an angel.
Meanwhile Venom was complaining to himself about how Y/n wasn't listening to him and they'd both end up dead by the end of this.
"I guarantee you; once he finds out about me, he'll kick us to Mars and back. You hear me? And it won't be pretty" Venom sneered his final warning.
"Calm down, Venom. As long as we stay on his good side, we won't end up on his bad side" Y/n finally replied.
Venom sighed in defeat, glaring over at Peter.
---------------
A good few minutes later, the curry was cooked. Y/n served it up onto two dishes. She grabbed the two plates while Venom held two glasses of water.
She placed the dishes, along with the glasses of water down on the coffee table. Venom made sure to stay hidden as Y/n lightly placed her hand on Peter's shoulder which immediately woke him up.
He shot up into a sitting position, whining at the sudden pain he'd caused himself. He looked around the room in confusion before his eyes landed on Y/n, who gave him a small smile.
"Sorry, you're a really light sleeper." She told him, sitting on the couch opposite Peter, the coffee table in between the two couches.
"It's alright." Peter shook his head, waving off her apology.
Y/n gestured to the dishes. "Curry's ready. I wanted to wake you so you wouldn't have to eat it cold. Um, I just got you a glass of water, do you want milk with the curry. It helps cool the spicy taste a lot better than water does" She offered.
Peter looked down at the dish and glass in front of him. "If it's no problem-"
Y/n chuckled. "It's no problem" She repeated, already standing up, grabbing the two glasses before heading to the kitchen. She came back in with milk in both and placed them in their original spots next to the dishes. "I hope you like it"
Peter smiled in thanks, lifting up the dish and beginning to take a small bite before quickly diving down for more.
Y/n smiled before eating her own serving. A comfortable silence fell as the two enjoyed their meals and each other's calm company.

"So after I helped Miles escape, 2099 came after me. I luckily walked away with just a few scrapes and bruises, that man is lethal" Peter stared at the ground as he finished telling his story.
It was a few days later, Y/n had allowed Peter to sleep in her spare room until he was back in shape again. Though his bruises and small cuts had healed, the big slash to his side still needed time.
"2099 sounds like the worst Spider-Man. He doesn't even sound like a hero." She said, shaking her head.
"He sounds like the key to the end of all Spider-People." Venom added.
"Don't get any ideas" She said to no one in particular.
Peter met her gaze as Venom said. "I wasn't getting anything."
"I have to go back there and stop him before something happens to Miles and his friends" Peter said, beginning to stand up only for Y/n to gently push him back down.
"You're in no shape for fighting." She reasoned.
"I'll heal on my way to kick 2099's ass" Peter said, stubborn as ever.
"We've had this conversation before, Peter. I know I've only known you for a week but you are hell-a stubborn." Y/n placed her hands on her hips.
Peter's eyes flickered down to them before quickly returning his gaze. "Look, I love this" He gestured to both her and her apartment. "But you gotta let me go do this. You can't keep me here forever, you know"
Y/n rolled her eyes. "Cocky as well.." She mumbled. "Fine, go ahead. Door's right there" She nodded in the general direction of the apartment door.
Peter stood up, this time not being pushed back down. He was really close to her now, their chests almost touching. "Thank you for your kindness" He gave her a small smile before starting to walk to the door, only to fall over after the first two steps. He face-planted, groaning into the wooden floor boards.
Y/n just crossed her arms and stared at him as he tried to crawl to the door, getting halfway only to give up again. "Huuuuuuuuh. Help me. Please" His voice was muffled slightly because his mouth was smashed against the floor.
Y/n tutted before helping him up. "Is that enough proof that you're not up to the task just yet, Spider-Man?"
"Who's cocky, now?" He just mumbled in response as Y/n helped him to the spare bedroom.
"We gotta get this guy out of our house, I'm suffocating" Venom whined.
All Y/n did in response was sigh. She helped Peter into bed. "In the morning I have something to share with you. So get some sleep."
"What is it?" Peter asked, now curious to know what she was going on about.
She went to close the bedroom door. "You'll find out tomorrow!" She chuckled. "Now sleep"
When she closed the door, Peter looked up at the ceiling, smiling to himself as he thought of what Y/n might tell him tomorrow.
On the other side of the door, Venom came out and stared at Y/n as she headed to her own bedroom. "Excuse me, what are you doing?" He asked.
"Nothing." She replied.
"Are you going to tell him about us?" Venom asked, irritated by the thought.
"I don't know." Y/n shrugged.
Venom moved in front of her so she would stop walking away from him. "You don't know? Why tell him you have something to tell him if you have nothing to tell him?"
"Because there's two things I could tell him. I could tell him I washed and fixed up his suit...Or I could tell him about us" She replied, heading to her wardrobe to pick out her bed clothes. "Which one would you like me to tell him?"
"The suit one. But I don't want you to tell him about us" Venom said.
"And why is that, V?" She asked.
"Because he will most definitely kill us" Venom replied.
She shook her head. "I can't see him doing that. He's too nice"
"Nice people are normally the ones that trick you" Venom stated. "Nice people can't be trusted"
"I'm nice" Y/n looked a little offended.
"Yes, but I'm taking the risk that you will not hurt me" Venom titled his head. "And you are doing the same for me"
"Goodnight, V" She smiled, getting into bed.
"Goodnight, Y/n"
