My Tubby || Lars Ulrich x Reader

Diner

"Enjoy your coffee" the lady smiles above us, placing our coffee and breakfast in front of us. I smile back at her, as a thank you.

"So this is the so secretive place you wanted to bring me?" I look at Lars and sip from my hot mug. "This is just a breakfast stop, get us going for the day" he laughs and goes silent for a little second

"Hey... what are we gonna do about Sophia?" I ask with little sadness in my voice. "What do you mean?" He looks at me confused "I mean, I have no where to go she's probably kicking me out of the house, and I don't have any way of getting back home. I don't think I could fly by myself, I don't like air travel" I look out of the window

"Well, we could go out with that plan" I look over at him, confused on which plan he's talking about.

"Come stay with me, I don't mind. We're having a break before our next show anyway" he says "You're offering too much Lars, you barely know me" I smile

"I don't care about that. Say you turn out to be some psycho, I'll just—wrap you in some tape and take you to a ward. You're completely fine. Plus, we can tell about ourselves now" he fiddles with his thumbs and smiles at his joke. "Thank you"

"Five questions, go!" He points at me with no second thoughts
"Oh!—Uhm, favorite food?" I say
"Oat pancakes"
"Best friend?"
"Band mates"
"Favorite activity?"
"Drumming and tennis"
"Favorite band?"
"Diamond Head"
"Favorite song?"
"Am I Evil"

"I love that song!" I say "There's something we have in common!" He smiles and picks up his coffee before asking me a load of questions and receiving my answers

"We're pretty similar, I didn't really think we'd have too much in common" he says "If I have to be honest, you've kind of raised me" I shyly smile "is that so?" He intertwines his fingers in front of him, leaning into the table

"Yeah, when my parents weren't there, you guys were all I really had. Other than Sophia and her family of course, but it didn't feel right, you know?" I take a deep breath and look at him

"Your parents didn't care for you?" He stares at me with a sympathetic look. "My dad, definitely not. My mom cared, but she passed away soon after my dad left" I looked back at him almost emotionless "I'm sorry" he says grabbing my hand that was holding my mug

"Don't be. It was at a young age, it doesn't really effect me" I reply while grabbing his hand back

"Is there a restroom here by any chance?" I ask "Yeah, just over there around the corner" he says letting go

I get up and make my way to the bathroom and to the mirrors, looking at myself

Don't cry. He doesn't know any better. The only one in the wrong here is your father, he left you. If he doesn't have the time to love you, then neither should you. Fuck him

Suddenly the bathroom door swings open, followed by a girl running in holding her face, I watch her run into a stall through the mirror

Was that the lady that gave us our coffee?

I hear her whimpering under her tears

"Are you okay?" I ask quietly "Eu—yes everything is okay!" She answers back with a slur

"Hey, girls are here for each other, alright? Is something up?" I say walking towards the stall "i guess... I guess your right..I just—it's so hard for me to deal with anything anymore" she says on the other side

"I know how you feel"  "NO! You don't!" She shouts "Okay, listen. I don't know what's going on but everyone goes through things, and it's all hard for us no matter what it is" I tell her

"I...I'm sorry. Im fed up with everything. Everything about me. It's sickening" she says through her whines. "I can't stay long, I wish I could stay and talk but... what's your name?" I ask calmly "it's Teresa.." she answers "I'm Marianna. Nice to meet you Teresa, do you have a number I could call? I'm not technically living in a house currently but I can call you as soon as I get a phone, and we can meet up and talk more?" I offer "That's... that's very sweet of you Marianna... but I can't stand to see anyone, I can't see your face—I'm afraid of what will happen if I do" she begins her panic again. "It's okay, we can talk over the phone only if you'd like. Though I'm not sure what your going through exactly, I want to help you." I assure her "Okay...I have a number" I hear her begin to scribble, before sliding a paper under the door "thank you" she says with calmer breathing than before

I take the paper from her "I'm not sure when I'll be able to call you, but I'll make sure to do it. You've got this." I say before leaving and going back to Lars

"Sorry" I say as I sit down "I got caught up with something" I say quietly "Considering it was in the women's bathroom, I'm gonna keep myself out of your business" he says while pulling out cash and laying it on the table "Whenever your done we can go" he says and I nod my head

I stare at the door to the bathroom, almost like I'm waiting for something to happen. Waiting to see if Teresa will come out

"Hey is something wrong? You've been acting strange all day"

"I'm sorry. Just a lot has been happening today and it's a lot of thoughts" I laugh under my breath, turning my head to look at him

Finally, I hear a door open and I look back towards the bathroom curiously, she'd finally came out. I watched her as she walked towards the counter she worked at, when she caught my eye and looked back, then a nervous, shocked, scared expression covers her pale face and puffy eyes. She crosses her arms and raises her shoulders and lowers her head to hide herself.

That poor girl, does she know it was me she was talking to?

"We can leave" I smile towards him and we stand up to leave

"Did something happen in there with that waitress? You two were staring at each other pretty intensely" he asks once we leave the diner

"Yeah. I'll tell you about it later" I say as we begin to walk

Can this day get any crazier? So many things happening at once, the future is unpredictable I guess

A/N
