Metallica one shots and headcannons

Late-night Diner meetings 🌕 💕(James Hetfield one shot)

You always barely sleep so you in your favourite diner to spent the night. But the days passes and you always find the same man every night. But one night he sits in your table...

3.30, and I can't sleep anymore. This insomnia is killing me but what can I say? I'm used to it now. I can sleep 4 hours per night and I'm not tired. Now as usual I go to the diner that is 10 minutes from my house. Now it has also become a place of comfort for me. I can't wait to go there because it's like I can relax and not think about anything. I sit and a waitress walks towards me "Hi, Y/n. How are you? What can I get you?" She asks me. I've been going to this diner for months now and we've become friends. "Hi, Margaret. I'm good, what about you? I'll have a black coffee and a chocolate muffin please" I say. "I'm good thanks, today we also have a chocolate cake and it's very delicious. Would you like to try it?" She asks me "Okay, you know that I love everything with the chocolate" I say and she laughs.

 I wear my headphones and I listen to my classical music. While I was daydreaming I saw a man who was staring at me. But when I look at him he looks down. He has long blonde hair and a little moustache. "He looks fine" I say to myself. "Here is your coffee, your muffin and a slice of chocolate cake" Margaret says "Thank you Margaret" I say and I start drinking my coffee. Then I ate the muffin and I ate the cake. When I tasted this cake I thought I went to paradise. "But this cake tastes divine! Margaret!" I called her. "Do you like cake?" She asks me "I like it? I'm in love with this cake! I want the recipe" I say jokingly.

 "I'll tell Edward that you liked it" she says and I nod. When I finished I looked again at that man. He was drinking coffee too but then he looked at me and smiled. Hell no he couldn't smile at me like that. Did he want me dead by any chance? And then those beautiful blue eyes. I smiled at him too but I was screaming inside. He looked like he played in a band. Then I paid and I went home because I had to go work.

3.00, How nice, this time even sooner. But I wanted to go to the diner right away. A part of me hoped to find that u I swear he's the hottest guy I've ever seen. You see all the hot guys in movies and you know you can never have them. Even though I think he'll have a girlfriend. How can a handsome man like him not have a girlfriend? Aside from these thoughts that seem to be those of a teenage girl, I head towards the diner. I looked at the table where he was sitting yesterday but I didn't see him. "I knew I would never see him again" I say to myself. "Hello Y/n, what can I get you?" Margaret asks me "Black coffee and my beloved chocolate cake" I say. "Edward, thank you. He said that the next time you came he would offer you two slices for free" Margaret says.

 "Are you joking? Let me see Edward I want to kiss him" I say and we both laughed. "You will see him" Margaret says. I looked around and was surprised I saw that man. I can't believe it! He's here! Good thing I look normal from the outside. Imagine if he got into my head he'd run away from me like hell. We exchanged glances and he smiled at me again. I don't want to say bullshit, but from his eyes he's happy to see me. Girl, I think you're making up mind movies again. Since I had nothing to do, I imagined the life of that man. I think he plays guitar in a metal band. Yeah, he gives me too much of a metal band guitar player vibe. I swear he's perfect.

 I don't know why but I think his name is Michael. He has the face of someone called Michael.Of course all this because I have nothing to do. I am grateful that the power to read thoughts does not exist. I would be in prison or somewhere right now for what I am thinking. It was already late, so I got up and went out. "I hope to see you again, Michael playing guitar in a metal band." I say to myself.

And so some months passed from that time when I met that man. I sat down at a table and my dearest Margaret took my usual order.Now every time our eyes meet that man and I smile at each other.While I'm drinking my coffee I hear someone approaching. I look up and find that man in front of me smiling at me. "Can I sit down?" He asks with that raspy voice and I can't say what he's doing to me. "Yeah, of course" I say and he sits down. "You know I wanted to talk to you but I didn't have the courage" I say to him. "Luckily I made the first move then. What's your name?" He asks me "I'm Y/n, what's your name?" I ask him. "Nice to meet you Y/n, I'm James" he says and I laugh. "Why are laughing?" He asks me concerned.

 "It's a long story and it's better if you don't know" I say to him. "Now I'm curious, spell the beans" he says and I started blushing. "Well, I imagined what person you could be. I thought your name was Micheal and that you played guitar in a band. But I think I wronged everything" I say. "You wronged my name, but it's true that I play guitar in a metal band" he says and I'm shocked. "Really?" I ask him "Yeah" he says laughing and I laugh too. "I'm a genius then!" I say and he starts laughing more. "Well Y/n, why you spent the night here? You have troubling at sleeping?" He asks me "You got it right, I'm used to sleeping four hours now. So I come here and I have to say I love it here" I say. 

"So there are two of us, you know being in a band is stressful and I can't sleep. But ever since I saw you the first time I couldn't wait to go back and see you" he says and I brushed. He thinks that too? "You know, it's the same for me" I say blushing even more. "But have tried to sleep in a different house? I never tried it but someone says that works. Maybe in your friend's house or in your girlfriend's house" I say but he laughs. "I live with the other guys of the band and I don't have a girlfriend" he says. When he said that I mentally cheered. "Then I don't know how I can help you. In which band do you play? I don't listen to metal bands because it's not my genre. But maybe because I never found a good band" I say. "I play and sing for Metallica" he says. "You also sing? That's incredible!" I say. "Do you want to listen something?" He asks me. "I'd like to, but how do we do it?" I ask him.

 "Don't worry, I'll take care of it" James says and left some money on the table and takes my wrist and I enter his car. He put a cd and a song plays. I didn't even notice but I was doing a bit headbanging. After the song finished I clapped my hands. "Wow James, it's very good! You're the first metal band that I like" I say. "I'm glad you liked it. What music do you listen to?" He asks me "Don't kid me, but I listen to classical music. Having my parents who play in an orchestra and are passionate about classical music, I couldn't help but like it." I say. "Wow, and you play some instrument?" He asks me "I play both violin and piano. But I my love is the violin" I say. "Wow, I'd like to hear so sometime" he says. "Do we want to do something crazy?" I ask him. "I like doing crazy things. I'm all ears sweetie" he says and I blushed again.

 "Drive to my house and I'll get my violin, then we'll go to your house and you'll get your guitar. And then we'll go to the beach and we can play there" I say. "Let's do it" he says and drives towards my home. I take my violin and then he drives towards his home and took his guitar. Then he drives towards the sea. "Who wants to start?" He asks "You first" I say. "alright, do you have a request?" He asks me. "No, just play whatever you want, James" I say "As you wish sweetie" he says and starts playing. I have to say it again, but the electric guitar isn't that bad.

I can't take my eyes off James. The way he concentrates when he plays, the way he moves his hair. I think he I think I'm falling in love with this man. "That was beautiful James, what did you play?" I ask him."Orion, one of our songs. It's an instrumental. I thought you might like it" he says and smiles at me. "I really liked it" I say. "Now it's your turn, Y/n" he says and I closed my eyes and I started playing. When I finished I saw James looking at me with teary eyes. "Are you okay, James?"

I ask him to move closer to him. Then he embraces me. "I think it's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard, Y/n" he says and hugs me tightly. " Thank you, James" I say. Then he pulls off. "Sorry" he says "Don't excuse yourself James" I say and he looks in my eyes. Then he caresses my cheek with his thumb. "Ever since I saw you in that diner I fell in love with you. And now that he played me this I think I fell even more in love. Y/n, I want to hear you play that song all the time.And I want to sleep next to you. Who knows, maybe we can sleep?" He says and I smile. "And I want to hear you playing and singing everyday. Maybe you're right. Why don't we go to my house" I say and stand up.

 "Good idea, I really want to sleep with you" he says and picks me up, bridal style. "James, what are you doing?!" I say smiling. "I'm just taking you to the car, my darling" he says and my heart beats faster. We arrived at my home and we lay in bed. "Come here sweetie" he says and brings me closer to him. "You're right, I'm falling asleep" he says and I nod "Me too" I say. "Night, sweetie" he says, kissing softly my lips. "Night James" I say kissing him too. I think I've found the cure for my insomnia.
