James Hetfield was extremely excited to take you out on a date. This would be your third one in less than a month, and he was ready to ask you to be his girlfriend. James knew you were something special the moment he met you, and you couldn't believe how nervous the lead singer of Metallica had been on that first date.
Today, he had a very romantic date planned - and by planned, James had his 'girlfriend' speech well rehearsed. James had really tried his best at a grand romantic gesture, as he wasn't the most romantic man by nature, but he wanted to treat you right.
Except the universe had other plans for the day.
As James drove toward your house to pick you up, the sky turned grim and the skies opened up. Rain poured down, and James thought he was done for. There was no way the date could go as he planned it now.
James parked the car and sprinted to your door, picnic basket in hand He knocked rapidly, but was soaked immediately. The rain was torrential.
You ripped the door open as fast as you could. "James! Come inside!"
James rushed indoors out of the weather, and dumped the picnic basket on your kitchen bench. He sighed deeply, feeling utterly destroyed.
"What's wrong?" You asked, offering James a towel to dry off. He took it from you and frowned.
"This blows, our day is ruined. I had such a good date planned for us," James lamented.
"How could it be ruined? You're still here," You smiled, wrapping your arms around James. He felt his heart skip a beat. You released him from your embrace and rested your hands on his shoulders.
"We can just watch some TV, I think there's NASCAR on,"
"Sure," He agreed. James kissed you on your forehead, and you giggled. You felt yourself falling for James hard, and it was getting harder to hide how strong your feelings were around him.
You both curled up on the lounge together, listening to the rain continue to fall. You rested your head on James' shoulder as the two of you watched the cars go round and round the track. The rain brought on a chill, and you hugged James tightly for warmth. James' picnic feast was set up on the coffee table. You were very impressed by all the food he had prepared for your date, he really had gone to lengths to do something nice.
"Do you even like NASCAR?" James questioned. You glanced over to the blonde man.
"No... I thought you liked it,"
"I do like it, but we don't have to watch it if you don't like it," James said, a smile creeping onto his face.
"No, I want to!" You said, sitting up on your knees to face James.
"But you just said you didn't like it,"
"James, I'm just trying to do something nice!" You pleaded. You knew James was down after his original plans had failed, and you wanted to make sure he still had a good time. You were happy to watch cars go round and round if it made him happy.
"I know, it's cute," James said, tucking a stray strand of hair behind your ear. You blushed at his touch.
Momentarily, the showers seemed to ease and the sun started to break through the clouds. James took this as his sign.
"(Y/N), I know this date hasn't been the best-"
"James, it's been perfect," You interjected. "You bought all this wonderful food, we got to stay warm inside as the rain has been pouring, it's been so lovely. Any time I get to spend with you is perfect.
What you said was so sweet and thoughtful that James just couldn't resist kissing you in the moment. You kissed him back passionately as he held you close. He could not fathom that someone so beautiful and kind could be his, and he knew for sure now that you simply had to be his partner in crime. He pulled away, and gazed into your eyes before he peppered the rest of your face with kisses.
"James!" You said in between giggling. James cupped your face in his hands, a huge smile on his face.
"Be my girlfriend, (Y/N)?" James asked. He had never been so sure of something in your life, you were everything he needed and wanted.
"It would be my pleasure, James Hetfield,"
