Chapter Text
With a big yawn, Fern stretched and rolled over, curling up in the crook of Eddie's arm for warmth. He buried his face in the taller male's armpit, but realized his mistake almost immediately with a grumble of disgust. "Eddie, you're all sweaty... I thought you showered before bed..." He mumbled, rolling away to face away from Eddie. He was jokingly annoyed, of course, and Eddie knew this, but he pretended to have hurt feelings anyway.
"Geez, Fern, I did shower, I promise. You just don't like the smell of sweat, it seems," Eddie laughed softly, earning a playful glare from his shorter partner.
A soft, distorted chuckle erupted from the tallest male out of the three, and it made Fern smile. "Good morning to you too, Venom."
It didn't take long for Venom to make himself comfortable between the two so he could hold both of them close, with a soft trill rumbling up from his throat. He made sure both Fern and Eddie were comfortable as he held them both tightly, practically purring to them.
The purring of course, made the smallest male start to laugh, and as he cuddled up to Venom, his face was turning red, but the smile on his face was genuine. It had been awhile since any of them had gotten a break to relax, and it was the small things like this that they appreciated. He wasn't going to lie, cuddling in bed with Venom and Eddie was one of Fern's favorite pastimes, and he was fairly certain it was one of theirs, too.
The relaxation was short-lived, though. It didn't take long for Fern's anxiety to get overwhelming and he broke down crying. Venom immediately noticed this and pulled Fern into his arms, starting to purr to comfort him and held him tightly, but made sure he wasn't holding the 5 foot tall man too tightly as to not harm him. Eddie carefully leaned over and started to rub Fern's shoulder in an attempt to comfort him, and the two taller males cuddled with the smaller man to protect him from getting overwhelmed.
Usually in times like these, Venom would result in having to help both Eddie and Fern if one of them got upset or overwhelmed, but this time, Eddie was staying calm and managing to help Venom calm Fern down.
