I’ve kinda already started to cover this in chapter 3 a little o(^◇^)o
Sometimes Kaz wakes up confused with his hand hovering just over his chest, because he’s still in the habit of instinctively stroking Ronan’s hair in his sleep. That sleepy muscle memory reflex never really goes away, so occasionally he accidentally does it to the Person of the Night when he starts fucking through the locals wherever the contracts take him, to the point where he just starts skipping out immediately after it’s over so he doesn’t have to spend the night and do anything awkward.
When they share a bed for the first time after finally being reunited, the first thing Venom does is lay his head down on Kaz’s chest, and it’s such a relieving sound because V knows how close Kaz came to being gone forever.
It feels….familiar, he’s sure he’s done this before but he doesn’t have any active memories of it. T_T
