Metallica one shots and headcannons

Warm embrace💞 (James Hetfield one shot)

 You're waiting for James to come from the rehearsals with the band and you two share some intimate moments...

I was reading a book while I was expecting James to come from his rehearsals with the band. After 20 minutes-ish, I heard the lock open. James enters and puts down his coat. His face sets with a serious face, and his movements are deliberate and stiff. The exhaustion is seen all over his face. But as soon as he catches sight of me, everything changes.

Without a word, he crosses the rooms and comes closer to me wrapping his arms around me in a tight, almost desperate hug. How I wish that world can know about this side of him and not the cold and arrogant person that everybody thinks he is. He's a loving and caring boyfriend and not the cold boyfriend that everybody thinks he is. I hugged him even more tightly, resting my head against his chest. "You look like you've had a rough day" I murmur softly. "But you're here with me". 

I can feel the tension in his body start to disappear as I gently stroke his back. "Yeah, it's been a long day" he admits, his voice thick with exhaustion. "I missed you". "I missed you too" I say, kissing his cheek. "But now I want you to relax" I say, guiding us to the couch. As we settle down, I sit carefully in his lap, positioning myself so I'm comfortable against him. He instinctively wrapped his arms around his waist, pulling me closer. "I'm so glad you're here with me, Y/n. You are the only person who makes me totally relax and not think about anything" he says. I lean closer, pressing a soft kiss to his lips. The kiss is slow and tender and everything outside seems to fade away. As we pull away, James rests his head in the crook of my neck and gently I stroke his hair. Now I can feel the tension in his body melting away, allowing him to fully relax.

"You're everything to me" he murmurs against my neck. "Maybe I don't say it enough, but I hope you know how much you mean to me". He says looking in my eyes. "Of course I know, James" I replied, cupping his cheek. "I'm so grateful to every moment we share, even moments like this". "I don't know how I got so lucky to have you. Sometimes I think I don't deserve you" he says. "Don't say that James, I'm lucky too to have found a caring and loving man like you" I say and we kiss again. We stayed embracing for a while, not caring about the world out there. Right now it's just the two of us. In our private space, we have a deep connection that goes beyond everything, proving that even the coldest person in reality can hide the warmest heart.
