[ Jim knows that Venom has stopped, but he can't look at him yet. His palms are pressing hard enough into his eyes that he's seeing spots, and he shakes his head violently even though the other man hasn't said anything at all.
He's trying to bring himself back under some semblance of control. To pull himself together. He thinks he's nearly got it, but then he hears Venom use the one and only pet name he'd ever used for him. When Jim had died as the Moira crashed, they hadn't embraced like the old holos of long lost lovers. It was still too new, too fresh.
This time, though--- He lets go a strangled noise, dropping his hands to reveal red-rimmed eyes, and closes the distance between them to throw his arms around the other man, burying his face in his hair. ]
