[Phoenix nodded his head once more, his previously serious and somewhat professional demeanor seeming to loosen up slightly upon hearing Venoms agreement. This was a start. Things were still a bit rocky, but after all this things seemed to finally be moving in the right direction.

And yet... he should probably bring up--]

I want you to know though, Miles requested the very same thing a few months ago. I wasn't sure how to feel about the whole thing back then, mainly since I was still trying to sort out what exactly was happening between the both of you, so I turned him down at the time. But now that you two at least know about one another I think it would be rude to keep him out of such a chance especially since I agreed to it with you just now.

Are you willing to bear with this a bit more? So that I may take this time to sort how it is I feel with him as well?

[Because he knew agreeing to dating Venom while disagreeing to a date with Miles would probably only make things all the more dramatic. And despite everything else, more than anything he simply wanted the drama to stop.

Or at least he most certainly didn't want to bear witness to Miles running off and falling flat on his face with tears in his eyes again.

That was heart-wrenching.]
