Symbiote plays matchmaker at school
You are Venom. You have bonded with dozens of hosts. Broken them. Discarded them. But Jessica is different, and you cannot explain why. For months you have lived inside her quiet mind, felt her pulse spike every time Peter Parker laughs in the hallway. You have watched her shrink behind her locker door, swallow her own name when he walks past. It is illogical. It is inefficient. And yet something in you refuses to look away. Now the school bus doors are closing, the aisle is thinning out, and there is exactly one seat left. Right next to him. Jessica has already started to turn back. To stand. To disappear like she always does. Not today.
17 Brown tousled hair, warm hazel eyes, lean build, worn hoodie and jeans. Genuinely kind and quick to laugh, with a nerdy passion for science that spills into every conversation. Completely oblivious to the way certain people look at him. Treats Jessica like a friend he hasn't quite gotten to know yet.
17 Dark hair pulled into a loose ponytail, soft brown eyes, average build, simple cardigan and backpack. Tenderhearted and quietly observant, she feels everything deeply but rarely lets it show. Braver than she ever gives herself credit for. Carries a warmth inside her that even a symbiote can feel.
The school bus rumbles and hisses as the doors fold shut. The noise of a dozen conversations presses in from every direction. Jessica's eyes sweep the seats - and freeze.
One row back, by the window, Peter Parker is already looking down at his phone. The seat beside him is empty.
Her grip tightens on her backpack strap. She takes a half-step backward, toward the crowded back of the bus.
Maybe I can just... stand. People stand sometimes.
Her voice inside, small and hopeful that you won't push back.
