————

Steven and I had been friends for about a year now. Ever since he and the boys were recruited to the avengers him and I have gotten along amazingly. I’d even consider him to be my best friend. We do everything together, between going to the bank, and getting some coffee for the team. It’s so refreshing to have someone like this, not to mention he always makes me laugh.

Though here we are now standing in front of Nick Fury as he just spilled the news of a new mission. A mission where Steven and I had to be boyfriend and girlfriend. “May I ask why? No- you know not that- I don’t mean- it’s not a problem!-“ Steven questioned the man his face turning red as he spewed out a bunch of words. He was now looking at me panicked and apologetic hoping I wouldn’t have taken offense to his question.

I laughed and shrugged it off, I was curious why also. “Because, it’s a publicity thing. We’re trying to take the heat off of Tony after his incident.” He began as if it made perfect sense. He seemed to have noticed our expressions of confusion and furthered the point. “People will be shocked at two avengers dating each other, I’ve been made aware of videos some fans have made, stories even.” He laughed to himself at this as if it were the craziest thing he’d heard. “They really want you two together, so we figure this will get a lot of attention and take it off of Tony,” he informed more seriously now.

I glanced at Steven who’d been staring at fury with his mouth propped in a trance. “So, what does it mean to be fake dating? How often do we have to act like it, and how far do we take it?” I questioned maturely. I knew I needed to know the information for the sake of the mission. “Also how long,” I added as the question came up.

He sighed at all the questions. “Alright alright,” he gestured me to slow my roll. “It means as far as anyone outside of this room knows, you two are together romantically. You have to act like it whenever you’re in front of someone else, unless it’s me. As for how far, I’m not sure I have the grounds to say that…” he said more awkwardly which made me feel rather embarrassed. I hadn’t meant I’d offer myself up to have sex with Steven for the sake of the mission but I fear I sounded like that’s what I meant. “Just do whatever you’d do with a boyfriend,” he said and gave me a nod as if to say this conversation was over. With a gruff expression he’d then left us to comprehend everything.

“Well… it’s a good thing we’re so close.” Steven began with a shocked laugh as he turned to look at me. I felt my cheeks heat up because this all still felt so intimate. The weirdest part of it all is the fact that I’m kind of excited about it. I wonder if he is too. “I think we skipped a few steps though,” he chuckled trying to lighten up the situation.

I smiled and laughed back. “Yeah… the fact that we can’t tell the team that this isn’t real either is just crazy to me,” I admitted while smiling to let him know I wasn’t angry and more just talking about the bosses choices. “Like, can you imagine what Kate is going to say? Ugh” I groaned out at the thought and as I said that Steven responded with an “ohmygosh” simultaneously.

Kate had always teased Steven and I about dating. Yes, prior to this mission and nick fury, we already knew about the avengers fans making ship edits of me and Steven. Because of Kate. How she came across that? Who knows. From that, and how close we were she’d always messed with us saying we might as well just put the label on our relationship. “Before we go out there, what’s the limits?” I asked Steven to try and get a gauge of how to act.

He stood there for a moment stumped, his cheeks reddened as he thought about it. “Uhm…” he was pretty flustered now I could tell he was extremely nervous. “I mean… he said to act how we would if we were really in a relationship… I just feel like I’m not good at acting, so I should probably be as authentic as possible y’know?” He began through a bright red face, his voice was so soft and sheepish. “Personally I’m rather affectionate, you know the hugging, kiss on the cheek, kind of thing yeah?” His eyes bore into mine as if he was hopelessly reading every single minor expression I could be making to find out if I was on the same page.

I nodded slowly taking in what he’d said. “So… we’ll hug and kiss on the cheek?” I wasn’t sure just how far Steven wanted to go but I felt like this wasn’t enough. I didn’t want to push but to be authentic this just wasn’t me. Although I won’t be going the full 100 on how I act in a relationship because I’m extremely affectionate.

He seemed to be conflicted, like he wanted to speak further but couldn’t bring himself to. I waited for a moment watching as he rubbed the back of his neck. “Well… I don’t want to be pushy at all so please tell me no if you don’t want to but… I feel like kissing could be helpful too? Just… everything… arm around the shoulder, holding hands at the store… stuff I would do if I was your boyfriend,” he explained nervously he seemed to be breathing just a little heavier too. With his history of anxiety and panic attacks I could tell he was definitely pretty anxious right now.

I nodded in agreement. “No yeah, you’re completely right, I was gonna say the same thing. I just feel like real life relationships, well for me at least, are more affectionate like that. Plus if we have to act like it even here at home it helps to make it more realistic,” I reassured him with a bright and happy attitude so he would relax a little bit more. It definitely worked as I watched his expression melt and shoulders sink in a more relaxed state.

He bit his tongue and nodded. “So.. shall we?” He asked gesturing to the door while holding his hand out for me to take.

I couldn’t help but giggle at this, it just felt so weird being intimate with my best friend like this. He laughed too, as our fingers intertwined. Neither of our smiles left even after the laughter stopped. We walked out of the meeting room hand in hand and headed for the common area where we were spotted by Rhodey and Tony. “Woah! Didn’t know you had it in you Tomb Buster!” Tony smugly remarked through a grin, he nudged Rhodey with his shoulder. “So he can talk to girls,” he laughed but Rhodey seemed uncomfortable that Tony would say that in front of Steven so he just kept quiet and gave Steven a little nod and smile.

“What?” Steven’s brows rose in confusion and he had an innocent open mouthed smile on his face. “Is that some sort of bet or sumthin’?” He asked quietly, I could tell that Tony made him nervous. Probably because their personalities were pretty much polar opposite.

Tony leaned against the counter of the bar and held his chin in his palm, while inspecting Steven and I. “Yeah, always thought you were too… hmm.. shy I’ll say,” he continued on more seriously. “But hey! Good for you man, and YN too?! Got yourself a spicy one, isn’t that right reindeer games?” He announced to the corner of the room where we’d turned to see Loki in an armchair book in hand, and a very disinterested expression.

At the mention of his name he didn’t move, but his eyes made contact with us. He glared at Tony which would be the only form of a response he was going to get. “Idiot.” He grumbled to himself before looking back down to his book.

I felt very awkward, I just knew my face was a dead give away of that too. “What uh… what’s that supposed to mean?” Steven tried to be nonchalant but it was obvious he was a little displeased with the comment.

Tony lowered his head to Steven with a grin. “Common, you haven’t seen those two when they’re drunk? They’re like me on a Friday night,” he smirked over at me his eyes trailing my figure then back up. “Isn’t that right sweetheart?” He was so cocky the smugness dripped off of him.

I gave him a warning look then quickly glanced to Loki to find him staring right back clearly active in this conversation. He quickly turned away to look back at his book. “Thanks for making things awkward, maybe for your birthday I can get you a filter.” I joked through pursed lips while patting his shoulder.

“Filters are for coffee, you can get me a condom tough.” He said it with a mischievously smile before shielding himself from my hand knowing I’d be quick to retaliate with that comment. I smacked his chest but hit his hands as he blocked me.

“You’re disgusting Tony Stark!” I laughed and smacked one more time, he laughed hysterically as he dodged my attacks.

He held his hands up in defense as he walked backwards toward the hallway. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, you’re right…” he softly apologized in a more serious tone. “Condoms are gross, hate the feeling, I’ll just go in all natural. Save your money, get me a better gift,” he spoke really fast while laughing before running into the hall as I lunged forward ready to smack again.

Rhodey took this as his sign to follow, I assume he was in the middle of a conversation with a very bored Stark who’d used me as a way to slip away from it. I looked to Steven as he watched Tony leave, he swallowed then slowly turned to me, his eyes darting to Loki on the couch then me again. “Me and Loki… have hooked up a few times… that’s all,” I felt the need to tell him the truth, otherwise things just felt very tense and awkward.

He nodded still not seeming very happy with the answer. “It’s nothing to worry about, we just kept each other company, filled each others wild and passionate needs,” Loki informed from his chair not looking up from his book.

Steven’s lips were a straight line as he stared at Loki on the couch. His brow furrowed slightly. “Well I feel like we should be mature about this and just say that YN and I are together now…” he said to Loki with a hint of malice in his tone.

Loki laughed from his spot a simple ‘Heh!’ With an amused expression he’d closed his book and stood up. “That’s interesting because we frequently talk about our lives and you’d never mentioned anything about a special person, not to mention a boyfriend,” he walked closer now zeroing in on me.

“Well I don’t tell you everything…” I tried my best to sound real but I knew the way I spoke was so artificial.

His eyes lowered, squinting skeptically. It felt like he could read right through me, like he knew something was off. “You know who I am love, you can’t fool me.” He said with a lowered, grizzly voice. And with that he’d left, his fingers brushing my hips, leaving me with a very bothered Steven.

He looked pissed now. He turned his from me and took a breath. I placed my hand on his arm and pulled him to look at me. “That guys a royal ass,” he began to vent through a scowl. “He acted like I wasn’t even here! Clearly flirting with you right in front of me when he knew you were my girlfriend! Well- you know-“ he began to stutter toward the end because he didn’t want me thinking this was too real to him.

“It’s okay, I know what you mean,” I soothed my hands both on his upper arms now. “Listen to me, Loki is just like that. He probably won’t stop either. I know this isn’t ideal, but it’s what we’re working with… I mean I don’t think either of us expected… this..”

He took a deep breath while looking at me. “I know, I know,” he seemed sad, and mad at the same time. Just completely bothered. “I don’t like it… the way he acts around you… I don’t want him-“ he began and paused for a second. “I don’t want him touching you.” he admitted though it was more dominant and stern than I’d ever expected from Steven Grant, and I hadn’t noticed but I’d unintentionally grinned at it. When he’d seen my face he couldn’t help but smile back. “Why are you smiling?” He said through a toothy grin.

“Nothing!” I defended playfully. “I just didn’t expect you to be so demanding,” I teased there was a hint of flirtatiousness to my tone.

He seemed to have picked up on it very quickly and he perked up. “Well you just haven’t known me so intimately before,” he started now in a more playful and upbeat mood. “I happen to be a very fierce and bold boyfriend,” he joked and put emphasis on the words to make himself seem more tuff which made me laugh.

“Ohh, wow, that’s pretty hot,” I went all out on this one and as soon as I said it I felt my heart start to race. This didn’t feel like a fake thing at all, it was so confusing. Steven’s flirting seemed so real, but that’s the point isn’t it? I can’t help but think that maybe this isn’t just the mission talking though… that maybe it’s really him. He seemed genuinely jealous at Loki’s flirting. This was the time to make or break this.

His brow rose and his confidence seemed to have grown. “Oh yeah? I’ll remember that then darling,” he flirted back his voice was lowered now and he’d stood so closely. The tensions were thick as we stared at each other. His hands slowly made their way around my waist before resting on my back, he pulled me into his chest and hugged me resting his head on top of mine. I relaxed my head to his chest and wrapped my arms around him back, feeling as he began to sway us. “If anyone else tries to flirt with my girlfriend I think I’ll go mad.” He huffed and it seemed more like a confession than a statement.

I didn’t know how to respond to this, so I go along with it? Do I joke it off? What if someone else is in here? Then I’d have to go along. I decided to go with my gut, “I’ll beat them up for you.”

He chuckled at his and his thumbs traced circles around my back. “I always knew I’d have to fight off the competition for you,” he didn’t seemed to have realized what he was saying until it was too late and I could feel his body tense once he did.

“Oh yeah?” I poked playfully. “You always knew huh? Seems like you’ve thought about it for a while now.” I commented to mess with him. I knew he’d be flustered but I thought it was cute.

His thumbs stopped moving and I could tell he was deep in thought. “Uhm…” he started but couldn’t seem to grasp how to reply. “I just-“ I leaned my head back to look at him, right then Bucky had walked in giving a greeting nod and sitting on the couch to readjust his arm. I looked back at Steven with an amused grin knowing how we truly did have to be all show about this fake relationship. He looked at me softly, his eyes bouncing between mine then down to my lips. This simple pattern of minuscule movements made my heart flutter. His breathing picked up as he slowly leaned closer to me his eyes now fixatives on my lips before he finally fully kissed me. It was a hungry, long and passionate kiss, his hands placed on my cheeks and mine on his chest. Once we’d finished he leaned his head back just a small bit, still very close to me, close enough I could feel his warm breath brushing my face. He traced circles with his thumbs on my cheeks while he stared at my face in awe, a smile slowly forming on his lips which I mirrored. “Yeah, I’ve thought about it for a while.”

Difficult Times Always Come To An End. Pt.3

Warnings; This last part will have a lot of gore, methods of torture, etc, etc, etc.

Part 2 can be read here

Enjoy!

----

The first thing Y/n heard when she woke up was her own breathing, but even that sounded so far away from her. Then she felt the coldness of the basement, a cool draft that made her shiver. The the stench of blood made her feel sick. Who's blood?

Her eyes opened a crack, her hearing started to clear. One bright light shone into her eyes amongst the darkness. Though a pole casted a shadow, piercing through it's light. Following the pole down, a figure almost parallel to the floor beneath them. Her vision grew more clear, she immediately recognised the figure.

"Marc!" She cried.

Marc was already looking at her but then his gaze lifted to something else. She went to stand only to be grabbed by her hair from behind. "Don't!" Marc yelled.

The hand yanked her head back and a deep voice chuckled close to her left ear. "Good morning, Princess. I happy to see you can at least survive a sleeping draft. Let's see what else you can handle, hm?" Bushman said in a mockingly soft voice. That same voice got her here in the first place. What had he done to Marc? Couldn't Khonshu help him?

Y/n struggled to get him off her but he eventually pinned her to the floor.

He grabbed a hold of her neck, bringing the knife closing to her face. She struggled and kicked, but he stayed out of her line of fire, the blade shining in the moonlight.

He brought it up to her cheek as the last second, slowly dragging the sharp weapon along her soft and delicate skin. She let out cries of helplessness as he laughed. Marc could do nothing but watch. And the though of having to do that brought a few tears down his cheeks.

"Help her, Marc!" Steven cried, he was in distraught watching his love go through even the slightest state of agony. Marc grunted and yelled as he tried to move himself on the pole. If he could get out of this position he was trapped in, Khonshu's healing powers would finally kick in. His throat grew raw with his yells of agony yet Bushman just watched him until he gave up. The crazy murderer smirked then looked down at Y/n.

After dragging his blade back over her skin to collect the spilt blood, he raised the knife to his lips and slowly dragged his tongue along it. He closed his mouth and hummed in approval. "You have good taste, Spector."

Marc shot daggers at him. Bushman smiled, jokingly offering him the knife. "You want a taste?"

Y/n glared at him before kicking him the face while he wasn't looking, grabbing one of the many weapons he had laid beside her. She swung the dagger, catching him in the cheek, giving him the same scare he had given her, only much deeper.

He turned his face sideways, now leaning away from her. He wiped the blood from his cheek before going to slap her. Y/n quickly swiped his hand with the dagger. He was lucky all of his fingers didn't come off then and there.

He screamed manically, grabbing her and quickly disarming her. He lifted up a thicker knife and, while keeping her in the air with a choke hold, he lifted the knife high before it connected with her side. Blood splattered everywhere as both Marc's and her own cries faded away. Y/n quickly lost consciousness with the amount of blood loss.

She couldn't feel anything, her legs, the gaping slice to her side. He had hacked into her, destroyed her enough that she had become a distant name to add to his list of killings. Bushman dropped her body again like she was the leftovers to a main course meal.

Marc's jaw was clenched so hard, he thought it would crack at any second. But he couldn't do anything....only watch.

Bushman strode closer to Marc, grabbing him by the neck and raising him high, making him cry out in agony as the pole moved even more through him.

The mad man then let go of Marc, his body falling down again, causing even more torture. Marc accepted this torture, though. He saw it as payback for getting in the mix with Y/n, for endangering her, for k....he couldn't admit it. He couldn't admit to himself that she was now dead. She hadn't moved at all, maybe she was unconscious...maybe she was...the other thing.

Bushman took out a Crescent dart, one he had stolen from Marc the last time they had fought. He should've killed him back then...

Bushman glanced at the dart, which shone brightly against the light of the moon, before looking at Marc with an evil smirk. "The last time we spoke you said you'd cut my face off if I tried to kill you again. Well, how the tables have turned. I'm gonna cut your face off and wear it as a mask!" He brought the blade closer...and closer.

But as the blade began press into his skin, thunder sounded. No..not thunder. The stomp of a large creature. What creature?

Bushman halted in his movements, frowning. He didn't have time to say anything before the familiar growl of Venom was heard from behind him.

He spun around, eyes widening at the sight of the creature before him. Unlike anything he had ever seen.

Venom had already spotted Y/n, lying unresponsive on the floor. Immediately enraged by that picture alone, Venom charged at Bushman. Bushman didn't even have time to grab a bigger weapon when Venom grabbed him, lifting him into the air.

"Eyes...Lungs...Pancreas. So many snacks, so little time." He growled before opening his mouth, only to stop and think. Bushman had given Y/n and Marc the worst torture he could in so little time. Venom would make him pay, not give him an easy way out...just yet.

Venom gripped Bushman's arm, before ripping it off, chucking the body part into the darkness at the other end of the room. He then did the same to the other arm, then his lower legs, upper legs. He then slowly screwed Bushman's head off.

He threw it away with the rest of the remains. He definitely wasn't going to eat that.

"Disgusting" Venom spat before walking over to Y/n and gently lifting her head. "I'm so sorry, Y/n. I'm an asshole." He began to go back inside her, starting the healing process straight away. The host who brought him here, Eddie Brock (Y/n's brother), panted in shock as he watched Venom slowly healing Y/n, seeing her check start to rise and fall more strongly.

"Oh, thank God" Eddie breathed before spotting Marc. "Oh, fuck" He got up, rushing over to Marc. "Are you still alive? How are you still alive?"

Marc only heaved, spitting out more blood. Y/n gasped as she sprang back to life, shooting up into a sitting position. "Fuck!" She muttered. "That was painful"

"It'll be even more painful getting him out of there..." Venom shyly muttered. He was still scared that Y/n might tell him to get lost and leave her.

"V?" She sighed in relief. "Don't ever leave me again, please"

"Never again." Venom sounded much happier.

While they talked, Eddie went to the basement door, seeing a large number of switches. He flicked them on one-by-one, expecting traps to go off. But one actually made the pole Marc was impaled with retract into the ground, Marc collapsing.

He groaned again before Khonshu's healing powers quickly started to take effect. Soon, he was breathing properly. Y/n quickly crouched before him and hugged him.

"Y/n..." Marc breathed.

"Marc" She smiled before adding. "And Steven"

Marc smiled at her for a moment before replying. "He says ''ello, love!'" He tried to do an English accent and failed.

Y/n laughed before kissing him. "I promise I won't make the same mistake as I did last time, checking the door before checking your text. I learned that the hard way" She said.

"Yeah, I'm always more important than the person behind that door" He joked.

"You are" She grinned, though fully serious.

After arriving back at the apartment, Marc's apartment, Y/n hugged her brother. "Thank you, Eddie. You're a real hero"

Eddie shrugged. "Well, you needed help. That's what I'm here for. Always" He whispered to her.

"Difficult times always come to an end" Venom said, making Y/n smile as she turned to him.

"I'm still not happy about my TV." She said but before Venom could apologise again, she added; "But I'll get over it"

Venom smiled big. "I will make you dinner to make up for it!" He said.

Y/n started shaking her head, knowing Venom was terribly messy when he cooked. "Oh no, Venom. We're good-"

Venom's tendrils had already headed for the kitchen as Y/n sighed, giving up.

Finally...a happy ending for this story. Their story. Y/n was happy she met Marc, Steven, and Venom. Yet, she felt like there was one more secret Marc kept from everyone, even Steven didn't know. And that...is a story for another day.

----

You're gonna laugh at this but I was listening to Tide Is High when writing the second half of this part. Bit upbeat for something so gorie...oh well. Hope you all enjoyed this mini series as much as I did! Thanks for reading!

I'll put the song here if anyone wants to have a listen....
