“My Friend Of Misery”
Starring Rob and Jason

Pt. 1
RRHOF Performance, 4-4-2009
Rob’s POV

I stared intently at Jason’s matured face as he played his bass alongside me. A bit weathered, slightly toughened; perhaps from all the years of pain and anguish he’d endured during nearly 15 years in Metallica. But in all, he was looking really good. I myself had been treated well and with plenty of respect so far, and it had already been 6 years since I’d joined Metallica. But knowing what Jason had put up with all those years, I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop. Well… so far, so good. I’d had the opportunity to chat with Jason a bit before the induction, the subject of Ozzy Osbourne breaking the ice for us. Jason seemed like a very nice, very down-to-earth guy. I was left feeling that the two of us were to become good friends.

We were doing “Master of Puppets” first, and although it seemed a bit strange with two bassists on one stage, I was really enjoying myself. Watching Jason, I got the impression that he was really enjoying himself, too. As I kept glancing at the man I’d replaced, an unknown feeling slowly washed over me. Respect? No, that wasn’t exactly it. Sympathy? Maybe just a little bit. Damn, was I…? I had no time to dwell on my confused thoughts, as Kirk suddenly came to our side of the stage, and I instinctively moved down to Kirk’s end of the stage. I watched closely as Jason sang into the mic with Kirk, a slight pang of jealousy striking me out of the blue. Now, where hell had that come from? Jason deserved to share a moment of the spotlight with his former bandmate. Why was I suddenly feeling so possessive over him?

Kirk and I once again switched places, and I happily resumed my position at Jason’s side. But Jason suddenly moved away from me, instead propping a leg up on Lars’ platform for the duration of Kirk’s and James’ guitar duet. When he returned to our mic, I then stepped away from him, attempting to clear my head of these unwanted thoughts. I took the safer position alongside Kirk, and sang with him instead. But before his guitar solo, I went back to Jason’s side, giving Kirk some room. I stepped back from Jason a bit, and began showing off my best moves. Jason did seem impressed, but impressed enough to sleep with me? Shit, where had that thought come from? I blushed at myself, and then felt almost hurt as Jason made his way to the other end of the stage. In my twisted imagination, Jason was now the one showing off, and doing so in front of Kirk. I ignored my ever-growing jealousy and continued to give the best performance I possibly could. We still had two more songs to do, and one of them was with several other famous musicians. I couldn’t let this sudden “crush” affect my performance. This was live-fucking-television. I needed to get a grip. So, right before we launched into “Enter Sandman,” I left the spotlight for a minute, switching basses being just the excuse I needed to collect myself.

Was it me, or was Jason just a little too happy to see me return to the stage? He grinned from ear-to-ear as I walked back towards him, giving me the impression that he was now showing off for me. Nah, it was just my imagination. I needed to get away from him again, so I walked away, running my fingers through my hair. I stayed on Kirk’s side of the stage for a bit, although still showing off my moves. It must have been working, because when I glanced up at Jason a couple of times, he was watching me. I caught his eye for a second, and he suddenly busted out some moves of his own. Before I knew it, I was back at Jason’s side, still trying to impress him. We were both incredibly close at the mic this time, with me fighting the urge to kiss him.

I went and stood in front of Lars for a bit, trying show off for him instead, but he just ignored me like he always did. I went back to Kirk’s end of the stage for the duration of his guitar solo, suddenly feeling just a little bit out of place. For the most part, these guys treated me pretty good, but mostly they just ignored me. I did my best to stay away from Jason, not wanting my feelings to get in the way of my performance, but I found myself once again drawn to him like the moth to the proverbial flame. I finally just caved in to my feelings; I was having way too much fun with my newfound friend.

Too cute - I love this POV style. I don't know why but somehow it's easier to express what's happening inside.

Mooooaaarpleeeeeaaaase!!! :horns2:

Why did you write that you can't believe you're posting it?

Partly because I'm already writing two other stories... and partly because I'm always embarrassed when I post my shit. :blush: Don't know why, I just am. :biggrin

Thanks for reading and replying! :D




Pt. 2

Jason’s POV

I watched Rob with his family, and my former bandmates with theirs, and I couldn’t help but feel a bit left out. I didn’t have any kids of my own, and I’d often attribute that to my chosen Rock n’ Roll lifestyle. But really, it was more complicated than that. I’d tried getting married and settling down once, but it just didn’t work out. I was merely fooling myself thinking I’d ever be able to settle down, and with a woman of all things. I’d cringe just thinking about it. Even now I had a ‘serious girlfriend,’ but really, it was all just for show. Nicole actually preferred chicks, so we weren’t really in love. We were simply putting on for our families, who were both very conservative and would crucify us for our actual lifestyles. It would break my mom’s heart if she knew her only son was gay. Even as a member of Metallica I had to keep it on the down low. But I’d done my best to put on shows with the groupies, making damn sure the others saw me, especially James. I honestly didn’t know how Kirk and Lars managed to come out to James and still have his acceptance. But, I guess they were more curious than actually bi, and I suppose that was it.

Rob was a real gentleman. He seemed like a wonderful, loving husband and father. I’d had a real nice chat with him before the ceremony, talking about none other than Ozzy Osbourne. At first, I thought Rob would resent me for taking his old job, but then I quickly realized that he’d gotten my old job, and suddenly I didn’t feel so bad anymore. We laughed and joked light-heartedly about the bumbling, stuttering Ozzy, feeling completely at ease with each other. It looked like we were fast becoming good friends. Hopefully we’d continue to see each other after the day was over. I blushed. As friends, of course, I reminded myself. There was no way in hell a real man like Rob would even be remotely interested in me, even if he did happen to be into guys. God damn it, I was falling for him! My heart leapt every time he laughed, his beautiful smile lighting up his gorgeous, golden face. I shook my head. What was I thinking? I’d only just met the dude, and already I wanted to get into his pants. I’d better cut it out, we were about to go onstage. I didn’t want to embarrass myself by having a raging hard-on while on live national-fucking-television.

The show went rather smoothly. I’d managed to keep my hormones in check, although I definitely felt some sexual tension every time Rob got near me. I somehow got the feeling he was trying to impress me, though. Whether or not his intentions were to upstage me or to pursue me, it was a bit hard to tell. I’d hoped it was the latter. A long shot, I know, considering he had a family. But the more time I spent with him onstage, the more I began to wonder about him. I actually had a pretty good gaydar, but I was really scared I might be misinterpreting his vibes. You know, I’d known all along about Lars and Kirk… they really were that obvious. But I had to wonder what took them so long to make their tendencies known to James and I. They did make me jealous, though. They definitely had plenty of guts, that’s for damn sure. If I had ever come out to James, it only would have given him a good reason to beat the living shit out of me.

I was growing impatient. I couldn’t wait for the show to be over. I was planning on asking Rob out afterwards. For some drinks, of course. He’d never accept going out on an actual ‘date’ with me. Damn, I wished he didn’t have a wife. Why? Because if I was picking up on his signals correctly, he was interested in me. And I’d feel bad if he were to cheat on her with me. Hopefully, she knew all about him, and would be okay with him seeing me. Fuck, but I’m getting ahead of myself here, aren’t I? I didn’t even know for sure if he was bi, or even curious, for that matter. Take this one step at a time, Newsted.

Our third and final song, “Train Kept a’ Rolling,” seemed to drag on forever. Why did we really need all these bass players and guitarists on the same stage, anyways? I mean, it was cool and all, but what the fuck? Okay, I admit, I was just simply being antsy, unable to wait for the song to be over and done with. Yeah, it was good for what it was, but come the fuck on. Fuck, was I nervous and sweating by the time the show was finally over. Get a fucking grip, Newsted. You and Rob are gonna go out as friends. That’s it. Nothing more. I gathered my courage and walked over to Rob, waiting patiently for him to finish shaking hands and hugging a couple of the other musicians.

“Hey,” I said to him, breathless from the performance.

“Hey,” he said, grinning.
