"Peter? What's going on?" I asked, stepping closer to him.
"That..thing. It's- it's not me, Hannah." he stated quietly.
I bit my bottom lip and wrapped my arms around his shoulders, "Let's go to my house and you can explain everything away from people."

"So, you found this black goop, it moved, you took it, and it somehow attached to your suit and turned you into- what did you call it?" I asked, pacing around my room.
"It calls itself Venom." Peter said, shaking his head, "I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. You have to believe me."
I sighed and sat down beside of him on the bed, "It does sound crazy, but I believe you. I don't know what I can do to he-" I cut off as he quickly stood up and walked over to the dresser.
I watched as he picked up the broken pieces of his bracelet, his head slowly shaking, "What-"
"'Venom'," I started, using air quotes, "Broke it."
He closed his fist around the pieces before picking up mine, "Why aren't you wearing yours?"
"Can you really blame me? I mean, with the way you-"
"Venom."
"-have been treating me, your bracelet that you-"
"Venom."
"-broke, I don't think I should wear it." I finished, crossing my arms.
Peter sighed and sat down beside of me, gently grabbing my wrist and attaching the bracelet to it, "I promise you, when I get another one, I'll be a better soulmate."
"If you get another one." I muttered, looking down at my bracelet.
"What do you mean?"
"You only get a new one when you realize you need me, Peter."
"I do need you." he frowned, scooting closer to me.
"You just need me to get rid of that black thing-"
"Venom."
"I don't care!" I yelled, standing up and moving away from him, "I don't care what the damn thing is called. I just want you to actually want me, Peter. As a soulmate should."
"Hannah, I do. Once I found that stuff, my whole attitude changed."
"No kidding." I scoffed, crossing my arms, "Look, I'll help you fight off Venom, but after that, if you're not the Peter I met the first time, I want nothing to do with you."
Peter nodded and stood up, running a hand through his hair, "I understand."
"Good, let's go figure out how to get rid of this thing."
"Venom." he coughed, earning a glare from me as he innocently smiled.
