She wasn't able to act on them yet and she wasn't even sure how she would if she could. It was the first time in her life she felt like that. After a few moments, Nia turned off the blender and poured the smoothie into a glass, sliding it across the counter toward Hobie.
"There you go" she said, a faint blush creeping onto her cheeks.
"Thanks, love. You always know how to make the best smoothies" Hobie flashed her a grateful smile, his eyes sparkling with mischief.
Nia couldn't help but smile back, her worries momentarily forgotten. They sat together in the kitchen, sipping their smoothies.
Once the drinks were gone and put in the dishwasher, Nia and Hobie walked out of the house.
"Where do you want to go?" Nia asked him with her hands behind her head.
"Wherever you want to take me love" Hobie told her.
"Can't you call me by my name?" Nia said as she locked the door behind her.

The rest of the day Nia spent it by chasing Hobie's around the city as the male was way too energetic. Due to how crowded the city was at that time of the year they kept getting dirty looks from the people they bumped into.
"Hobie wait up!" Nia laughed as he pulled her along bu the hand.
It took nearly the entire day for Hobie to finally get tired out and by that time they had also managed to reach Nia and Venom's favourite shop. Venom had shown her the place not too long after they had become Weaver and Nia had the honor of meeting the owner of it, Mrs Chen.
The short Asian woman at the cash register apparently knew Venom and Eddie and was very welcoming any time Nia came in with the symbiote, partly because of the company and partly because of how much food Nia bought from her shop.
"Afternoon Mrs Chen" Nia greeted the older woman happily as she skipped down to the chocolate section of the shop "What do you crave today Venom?"
"Oh those European chocolates look nice" Venom said expertly.
Chocolate and other foods the black symbiote liked were one of the few things he acted truly passionate about and actually requested for Nia to lend him her computer, ending in him spending nearly 200$ in sweets alone once.
With a hum Nia shoved a few of those into her pockets and moved to the tater tot part of the shop, Hobie following like a confused puppy behind her.
"Hands in the air old lady!" Nia, Venom and Hobie poked their head out from behind one of the aisles of food as a man wearing a badly designed mask rushed into the store with a small gun pointed at Mrs Chen, who looked absolutely calm about the situation "All the money you have out! Now!"
"Oí" the robber turned and froze when he saw the black giant monster everyone in the city knew.
Before the man could even gulp he was picked up by the underneath of his jaw. Weaver turned to look at the older woman who pried the gun from the man's now limp arm as if they were asking for permission.
"Just make sure to clean it up later as always" the woman had gotten used to these kinds of instances when people with nothing better to do threatened her or her shop with the intention of hurting her, and that was another reason why she enjoyed having Nia and Venom as such loyal customers.

Hobie watche in more surprise than fear (alright maybe he was a bit afraid of it) as Weaver opened their mouth so wide a bowling ball could fit through it, and bit off the dude's head.
He had heard from Jessica and the other members of the team that had first met Nia of what had happened but he hadn't expected to see it in person.
What shocked him the most was how unimpressed the older woman called Mrs Chen was as she cleaned the small gun she had taken from now dead man under her register which was being absorbed by Venom as she did so, leaving behind a tiny speck of fresh blood.
"How much is all this Mrs C?" Nia asked while she went back down to her original height as Venom retreated back into her.
"45$" the woman said shortly.
Hobie was frozen in shock as the two females exchanged bills and change as if nothing had happened and a literal decapitated body lay underneath Nia.
"Hobie? Come on let's go" Nia called out to him as she motioned with her head for him to follow her.

"What da fuck was that love?" Hobie asked her once they came out of the store with a small ring of the door's bell.
"I thought I mentioned how I do my work around here earlier, love" she teased.
In her defence she had actually told Miguel, while Gwen and Hobie were in the room with them, that she wasn't a hero and she didn't like leaving pieces of shit she caught alive, having being named more of an anti-hero by the people of her city who still loved the girl and symbiote for it (messed up I know, but what ya gonna do bout it 🤷♀️).
"Right right" Hobie cleared his throat and tried to ignore the scene he had just witnessed as Nia handed him some fries (chips) from an already opened bag as she discretely shoved bits of chocolate under her hair for Venom to enjoy.
They finished their food in Nia's room as she played around with Hobie's guitar while he ate his last bite of food. It had taken her nearly all of the six months she had known the male for him to allow her to even touch the guitar even when she had assured him she used to play a bit.
As she strummed random chords on it trying to see its reach, the door of her bedroom opened and her father entered with a large smile on his face, freezing the moment the older man's eyes laid upon Hobie who was sprawled on top of his dear daughter's bed leisurely.
Nia remained frozen even when her father slammed the door of her room shut, leaving her and the other man in the room alone.
