~V.I.P~ James Hetfield x (fem) Reader

Too Quick.

"Mmm... James.." I feel James' hands run under my shirt, slowly running up to the back of my bra. I feel him tug at it a bit, but for some reason, I grab his hand and push him away slightly. "Why'd you do that?" he asks me looking worried.

"I don't know. I enjoy it but I think this is going too quick. I mean you barely know me, and we're already doing stuff like this. Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed all of it, just I feel like we need to know each other more." I blurt out looking down. "Oh. I don't know what to say. I'm sorry for going too fast, I just thought you were really cool and attractive and that I couldn't contain these urges." He smiles at me. His smile is so pretty, it makes me want to just kiss him more. I smile back at him to let him know everything is okay.

"Random question." "If you live in San Francisco, why is this your first time playing here?" I look back at him. "Oh, we'll we've actually played here before... many times. We just played at random bars, didn't sell tickets or anything. This was our first "BIG" show, one where we sold tickets." He lays back down next to me putting his arm over my shoulder.

"Interesting. I wish I could've gone gone to one of those bar shows, would've been cool to see you and get to know you earlier." I smile at him.

"Oh and by the way Lars and Kirk are coming over in like 5 minutes!" He randomly blurts to me. "Wait what? Why? You've seen them so much today!?" I get out of his bed and make sure I look presentable enough to see them. "Well we are gonna practice. I think Cliff went to some random bar to hang out, so if you wanna play bass for us go ahead." He gets up next to me to guide us to the living room.

"Wow, uh I'm sure I can play a song or two."I enter his living room.

James goes and grabs his guitar, man I've always wanted one of those guitars, an explorer. They're so beautiful. "Whatcha looking at?" he asks me, I bring my gaze back up to him, crap did I look like I was looking at his crotch? "I was looking at your guitar. I've always wanted one of those, they're amazing. They sound really good, especially when you play them." I step closer to look at his guitar.

"Wanna play it?" he takes his neck strap off and puts it in front of him a bit. "I'm okay, I haven't been playing guitar for awhile so I can't play much. I'll stick with bass." I smile at James, I don't know why I refused it but I wish I didn't.

The others arrive shortly after and set up their stuff, all 3 of them look so gorgeous. I think Lars' hair looked really good, I want to run my hands through it. "What happened to your neck?" Kirk asks me, pointing at it. "Huh?" I go over to the mirror near the bathroom and check it out, I look over to James who is smirking. I give James the middle finger of appreciation and go back to the living room.

I sit next to James who is also waiting for Lars to finish setting up his drums and hit him with my elbow, "why didn't you tell me you left a mark on my neck.." "I don't know. Felt proud. Wanted others to notice it." He leans over me smiling. His dumb face is too pretty to be mad at, "screw you" I face away from him.

Lars finally finished setting up his drums, Kirk and James stand up to play while I'm sitting on the couch.

They start playing a song, it's one I've never heard, it sounds like something Metallica would write.

They finish their first song and all high five each other, talking about shit to fix. "James," I call James over to me, "what song was that? I've never heard it?"

"Oh that? It's called Battery. We're writing a new album called Master of Puppets. We're releasing it next year, we're almost done recording it!" James tells me, he seems really proud of this. I hope the album helps them get more popular, I'd love seeing them playing for thousands, hey, maybe even millions of people.

They go back to playing, all stuff I haven't heard. I'm assuming it's all from Master of Puppets. The songs they're playing sound great, not Kill 'Em All great but it still is, I'll be first to buy the record.

About an hour passes, it's about 2 am. I don't know how they stay up this late, I don't know how the neighbours dealt with it and I don't know how I fell asleep to it. I guess James really does have that great vocals that I could just fall asleep to them any time.

"You guys staying over or leavin? I don't mind if you stay." James asks the other 2 boys whom are packing up. "You tell us man. I don't have anyone to go home to, you choose if we stay or not." Lars grabs his drumstick and does random tricks with it. "Stay over! You gotta sleep on the couch though." James says to them. "What bout her." Lars points to me, I'm basically asleep on the couch, struggling to stay awake.

"She'll be fine!" James comes and grabs me off the couch, that sure woke me up. "Put me down what the hell!" I yell at James, "Oh. Hey Lars I can see the top of your head from up here!" I laugh at Lars who rolls his eyes and lays on the couch, Kirk joining him extremely closely.

"Goodnight!" I say to Kirk and Lars who wave to me as James takes me back to his room.

James drops me on his bed and gets on it with me. "Are you not tired?" I yawn. James looks wide awake "Tired? Never heard of her." James says, pulling me close to him.
