Here is a story I wrote for Shaddixx, in return for her making me a siggy ![]() Eye to eye By Cosmic Gerbil Disclaimer: It's all fictional and I don't own Metallica. No harm or offence is meant to Metallica or any of their friends and families. It was a peaceful evening at the Metallimansion. Cliff and James were sitting together on the settee, drinking beer and relaxing. Click, click went the TV remote as Cliff idly flicked through the channels. News, boring documentary, shopping channel, more news. There wasn't anything on to watch but Cliff was in that zone when you're tired and don't have anything to do but you aren't willing to go up to bed either. Also, Cliff liked it when it was just him and James together. Kirk and Lars had gone up to bed about half an hour previously. They had both claimed they were sleepy but from the amount of giggling they made once they were out of the living room, Cliff guessed that sleep was the LAST thing on their minds. "Say Cliff?" James voice piped up. "I was just thinking...do you think that everybody sees the same colour red or do we all see different reds?" Hm, well that's a new one Cliff thought. He smiled a little; trust James to say something weird and completely random before bed. Cliff gazed at James; the younger boy had had a few beers and his eyes looked rather blurry but there was no mistaking his intense, curious look. "I dunno dude" said Cliff, honestly. "What made you wonder that?" "Well, we've all got different coloured eyes" James replied. "Mine are blue, Lars’ are green, Kirk's are darkish brown and yours are sorta greenish-brown. Do you reckon that different colour eyes see different shades of reds, or other colours?" Cliff rubbed his chin, thinking. "I guess they could" he said. "But then it's not just to do with eyes. It's to do with your brain too. The different wavelengths of light hit your eyes and your brain translates it into colours". James took a big gulp of beer. "That sounds weird...but then, we've all got different brains so what if our brains are telling our eyes to see different kinds of red". Cliff smiled again and patted James shoulder. "Let's test it out" he suggested. "Let's both look at something red and describe how we see it. Like, whether it's pure red, orange-red or purplish-red". "Good idea" said James, pleased. His eyes scanned the living room. "I can't see anything red". "The curtains are blue" Cliff pointed out. "Shall we do blue instead?" "Nah, my mind's geared up for red now" said James. "Fair enough" Cliff grinned. "Maybe there's something red in the kitchen?" James suggested. He leaned forwards, reaching for his beer, which was on the coffee table. As he did, his t-shirt rode up at the back and Cliff caught a glimpse of his underwear...which was... "Hey dude, you've got red briefs on!" Cliff said. James gasped, nearly dropping his beer. "Cliff! We can't do a scientific hypothesis on my briefs!" "Why not? They're red, aren't they". "Well, yeah but..."...James blushed. "I'd feel shy". Cliff giggled. "Awww, c'mon Jamie. I've seen you in your underwear loads of times before". "Yeah but that's different" James insisted. "You'd have to look at it in detail, to properly identify the shade of red". "Haha! And you don't want me staring at your ass" Cliff teased. "Or maybe, the front side!" "Asshole!" said James but he was giggling too. "Alright then" said Cliff, whipping up the remote. "Look, the off button is red. Let's identify that". "OK" said James, moving closer to Cliff to get a better look. The two guys stared hard at the little round button. After a couple of minutes, James said, "What colour red does it look like to you?" "Hmm, just red-red". "Yeah, it's red-red in my eyes or brain too" said James. "There ya go then" said Cliff, ruffling James' blonde hair. "We do see the same shade of red". "Cool" said James, breathing a sigh of relief. "That's great to know". He picked up his beer and drank the last drop. Cliff pressed the same-shade red button and turned off the TV. "Ready for bed then, Jamie?" "Sure" said James. The two guys got up and left the living room, Cliff switching off the light as they went. James was drunker than Cliff had thought and he seemed a little wobbly on his feet. As they went upstairs, Cliff slipped his arm behind James, to steady him and prevent him falling. "Hey, maybe Kirk and Lars see different shades of red?" James suddenly said. "Shall we ask them?" Cliff glanced towards their band mates' room, where sighs and giggles went emanating from beyond the door. "Erm, maybe tomorrow dude?" "Yeah, OK" said James, sounding enthusiastic but sleepy. He fumbled with the door handle to his and Cliff's room. "Stupid thing, it's broken!" "Here, let me" said Cliff. He moved James' hand and opened the door for them. James flopped against Cliff, sliding his arms around Cliff's chest and chuckling. "Aww, well done buddy, you fixed it" "Yeah, I'm awesome" Cliff grinned. "Come on, let's get you to bed. You've had a skinfull". Cliff helped James undress, noticing that James showed no embarrassment whatsoever when Cliff took off his jeans and he was sitting there in just his red briefs. Cliff turned back the bedcovers and helped a sleepy James into his bed. "There ya go" he said. "Thanks" said James, burrowing under the covers. Cliff began undressing and he was just pulling his shirt over his head when James piped up again. "Say, Cliff? Do you think that there are some colours that exist that we can't see?" "Huh?" "You know, outside the visible wavelengths of light. Like, what colour is ultra violet? Or infra red? What colours do you think they are, if our eyes could see them?" "James, go to sleep now" said Cliff in a kind but firm voice, the sort of voice his mom would use to him when he was a little boy. "I can't" said James, in a small voice. "I'm cold". Cliff wanted to laugh, though not in an unkind way. Only James' head was peeping out from under the covers; his eyes were big and round and he had a look about him that made Cliff think of a lost puppy. "How about I get in bed with you?" Cliff offered. "Will that warm you up?" "Yeah, thanks" James said brightly. "Ok, hang on a sec". Cliff quickly finished undressing, then slipped into bed with James. He felt James nestle close, squirming about until he was in a comfy position. "Better now?" Cliff asked. "Yeah, I'm nice and warm now" said James. "Good". Cliff put his arm round James, holding the younger guy close. Soon, James drifted off to sleep. Cliff could hear his soft, even breathing and he liked that. It gave him a safe, cosy feeling. Cliff glanced at the radio alarm clock on the bedside table. 12:33 was illuminated in green LEDs. Remembering James' earlier conversation, Cliff wondered if they both saw exactly the same shade of green. Cliff smiled to himself and patted James' tummy gently. Whether they did or not, he sure knew that they both saw eye to eye. The End Edited by The Cosmic Gerbil, February 2, 2014, 4:25 pm.
