Thanks for the replies, everyone! Glad you liked it. :D A/N: Registered partnerships weren't legal in Denmark until 1989, but it's my story, and say it was legal in 1984. :biggrin




Pt. 32

James’ POV

“A what?” I asked Lars, setting my mug of coffee on the cluttered coffee table in front of me.

“A registered partnership.” Lars said again, joining me on the couch. I eyed him as he uncapped a half-pint of rum and poured some into his own mug of coffee. “It’s not going to be legally recognized here in the U.S., of course. But it’s still something.”

I sunk down into the ratty brown couch and sighed. “It’s better than nothing, I guess.” I slid my hand along Lars’ thigh and rested my hand on his knee. “Have you said anything to your parents yet?”

“Of course,” Lars said, taking a careful sip of his coffee. His forceful exhalation told me he’d added too much rum. “They can’t wait to go home for a visit. Which reminds me, we need to start planning a guest list. I mean, this isn’t gonna be like a real wedding, or anything like that. But still, it would be nice to have a few of our friends and family there to witness our union.”

“Family?!” I asked, horrified. “I haven’t told any of my family yet! I don’t think I ever will!”

Lars rolled his eyes. “Typical,” he muttered. “At least invite some friends.”

“What friends?” I lamented. “The only real friends I have are you three!”

“Well, good!” Lars squeaked, slightly annoyed. “Kirk and Cliff, that’s a start. How about their girlfriends?” Lars asked me, smiling at me almost too sweetly. Great. Lars was turning into The Bride From Hell.

“Okay,” I agreed slowly.

“That’s four,” Lars said, spreading out four of his fingers. “Plus my parents, that’s six.” He said, adding his thumbs. “Anyone else you can think of?”

I nearly said Dave, forgetting for a brief moment that he was gone. I gulped, feeling a huge lump forming in my throat. I reached for my coffee and held the steaming mug near my face, inhaling the steam with a couple of deep breaths. “No,” I finally managed to say. “I can’t think of anyone else.”

Lars set down his coffee and leaned against me. “Hmph. Only six guests,” he said sadly, putting his arm across my belly. “Well… it’s not the huge wedding I imagined, but I’m still happy.”

I kissed the top of his head, placing my hand on his cheek. “I’m happy, too,” I admitted. I put my arm around Lars’ shoulders and held him for awhile, thinking about my mom, and what she would’ve thought about her son’s involvement with another man. Would she have approved? Maybe not, I thought, but at least she’d still love me. My dad, on the other hand, would disown me if he knew. For that reason alone I made the decision not to tell any of my family about Lars and I. “Do you think gay marriage will ever be legal here in the U.S?” I asked out of the blue.

“You never know,” Lars said contemplatively. “We might be able to get legally married in this country someday.” Then Lars giggled. “Of course, we’ll probably be old men by the time that happens.”

I chuckled, suddenly feeling better. “Old man or not,” I said, grinning and poking him in the ribs. “I’d still marry ya.”

Pt. 33

James’ POV

“What the fuck?!” I hissed at Lars. “Was that fucking it?!”

I was fucking furious. All dressed up… tuxedo… bow tie… even my long, straggly blonde hair in a fucking ponytail… just to sign some fucking papers?! I practically tore the door off of the Copenhagen County Court building, storming out with Lars hot on my trail.

“Wait… James!” Lars called after me. He had to practically run to catch up to me.

“That’s not the wedding I had in mind!” I cried, pushing Lars’ hand away as he placed it lovingly on my shoulder.

“James, that was just legal business,” Lars explained to me calmly, standing in front of me and placing both hands on my shoulders. “There’s still a wedding. A small wedding,” Lars emphasized, rolling his eyes. “But still a wedding, nonetheless.”

I took a deep breath and exhaled forcefully, realizing I was stressing over nothing. “Sorry,” said sheepishly. “It’s just that I’ve waited along time and traveled a long ways for this… I was afraid my dream wedding had been reduced to a mere signature on a piece of paper.”

Lars moved his hands to my face and looked me directly in the eyes. “Do you even realize that we’ve just gotten married?” Lars’ hands moved back to my shoulders and he started shaking me. “We’re fockin’ married!” he squealed at me, his eyes as big as saucers.

A stupid grin slowly crept across my face, and it was all I could do not to sweep the petite Dane off his feet and twirl him around in my arms. “Wait,” I said, suddenly realizing something. “Did I take on your last name, or did you take on mine?”

Lars smiled at me. “Legally, I’m Lars Ulrich-Hetfield and you’re James Alan Hetfield-Ulrich.”

I furrowed my brow, thinking about that for a moment. “But--”

“Our stage names are still Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield.”

“Yeah, that’s what I was about to ask you.”

Lars smiled sweetly at me.

“So, when--”

“You have to sign your new legal name on all documents, such as checks and the like.”

“How did you--”

“I know you well,” Lars mused, winking at me.

“Too well,” I replied.
