The party pulsed with energy, lights flashing and music thumping as I stood next to Eddie at the bar. He could feel the excitement of the night, but it quickly shifted when he noticed your ex making his way through the crowd, a confident grin on his face.

“Great. Just what I needed,” Eddie muttered, his eyes narrowing as he watched the approaching figure. You felt a wave of tension radiate from him.

“Eddie, relax,” Venom’s voice rumbled in his mind. “He’s just a bug. Squash him.”

Eddie shook his head, clearly trying to keep his cool, but he could see the protectiveness bubbling beneath the surface. Your ex approached, leaning in too close, his demeanor all too familiar.

“Come on, let’s dance,” he said, a cocky smile plastered on his face.

Eddie’s jaw clenched. He could feel his tension rising as he stepped forward, placing himself firmly between me and my ex. “Hey, man, back off.”

He could sense the shift in the atmosphere as Eddie’s demeanor turned fierce. The ex looked taken aback, but Eddie didn’t back down.

“Protect. She’s ours,” Venom hissed in Eddie’s mind, fueling his possessiveness.

With a decisive movement, Eddie pushed back against your ex’s advances, his body tense and ready. I watched as your ex, realizing he’d crossed a line, turned and walked away, frustration etched on his face.

Eddie turned to you, his expression softening as relief washed over him. “You okay?” he asked, scanning your face for any signs of distress.

They went outside for a break. feeling grateful for his presence. He took your hand, pulling you closer, and I could feel the warmth of his protection wrapping around you.

Venom’s satisfaction echoed in Eddie’s mind, and I couldn’t help but feel a rush of excitement. The night was back on track, and with Eddie by your side, you felt safe.
