Chalk and Cheese

A couple of weeks ago, I saw a cute drawing on Metallichicks of Lars playing a computer game and James wanting to watch TV :) It inspired me to write this story. I hope everybody likes it :D



Chalk and Cheese

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.


"Lars, come on!" James groaned. "You've been playing that thing for hours. I wanna watch TV!"

Lars sat in front of the TV, green eyes glued to the alien filled screen, his hands clutching the joystick as he fought them.

"It's not a thing, James, it's a computer!" Bleeps and explosions came from the TV speaker as Lars blasted enemies left right and centre. "A Commodore 64".

"Ok, OK". James put his hands on his hips. "You've been playing that Commodore 64 computer for hours. I wanna watch TV!"

"Just let me finish" begged Lars. "I've nearly beat level 10 and I'm going for a new high score and I'm on my last life. If you talk, you'll make me lose!"

"How is it that I can't talk but you talk all the time when playing?" James asked.

"Shush!"

"It's true though. You give yourself a fucking running commentary".

"I'm helping myself play better" said Lars. "Now shush or I'll lose my life".

James snorted and sat down with a loud plumph on the settee. He picked up the TV magazine and flicked through it. There was a Western starting at 15:20, one he hadn't seen before. James checked his watch; it was 15:12. Would Lars have lost his life by the time it started. James felt mean for hoping he would have but after all, Lars HAD been playing computer games since dinner time.

Suddenly Lars cheered, startling James. He looked up and saw the words WELL DONE - LEVEL 10 COMPLETE on the screen. Lars turned to him and grinned.

"Hahahaha, Level 11 at last. AND my score passed 100,000 points, that's another free life for me!"

James groaned. "That means you'll be on there until fucking bedtime! Geez Lars, you and that fucking computer".

"Awww, I won't be much longer". Lars gazed at James, all intense eyes and pouty lips and suddenly, James just had to laugh.

"Hahaha, Lars you're impossible". James ruffled the drummer's hair unexpectedly.

"But you love me really" said Lars, smiling a sweet smile.

"I must do, to put up with that thing". James nudged the Commodore with the side of his trainer and Lars squealed.

"James! You'll make it crash! Oh shit, level 11 is starting up!" Lars grabbed the joystick again and beeping and 8-bit music filled the air as he resumed playing.

"Oops, OK dude" said James, his foot shooting backwards. "I'll go get a beer, you want one?"

"No thanks, I need to beat level 11" said Lars.

"Alright then". James fetched a six pack from the kitchen and when he returned, Lars was still going strong on his game.

"My Dad says it's funny how we're best friends, even though we're so different" Lars suddenly piped up. "He said we're like chalk and cheese".

James thought about this as he freed a beer from its ring. He took a big gulp, then shook his head.

"Nah, more like bread and cheese" he said.

"Huh?" said Lars. "That's not how the saying goes".

"But it makes more sense" James said. "Who the fuck would wanna eat chalk and cheese? Bread and cheese go really well together".

Lars risked a quick glance at James while the TV screen was relatively alien free. He took in James' blue eyes, his shy smile and the foam from his beer on his top lip. Lars smiled.

"That makes perfect sense to me" he said.


The End
