Band One-Shots {VOL. 1 COMPLETE}

Warren DeMartini - @KatieStroud

You walked along the cold streets of L.A.

It had been a long day and you just wanted to go back to your apartment.

You pulled your extremely light jacket close to your body, regretting not wearing a heavier one to keep you warm.

As you walked past a bar a man was thrown out by what looked like a bartender.

You rushed to the aid of the man who looked like he had landed pretty hard.

You helped him sit up, and you brushed the brown hair from his face.

"Are you okay?" you asked the man.

He sloppily trailed his eyes over you.

He frowned and shook his head.  His cheeks then buldged, and you knew what was going to happen. He leaned forward and spilled the vile content in the gutter. You held his hair back and as he finished he spit and leaned back into you.

You looked around and saw a little 24 hour coffee shop a couple shops down across the street.

"Come on. Upsie'daisy." You said as you slung the mans arm around your shoulder, and wrapped your arm around his waist to help him walk.

"Where we goin?" he slurred.

"I'm getting you some coffee." you said. You didn't know why you helped this man out, but he seemed like he had a story to tell. Which you always found intriguing. 

He didn't seem to respond so you assumed he was okay with it.

As you entered the shop, you set him down in a booth, which he happily rested his head against the window.

You went up to the front and ordered a coffee, a hot chocolate, and a water.

When it was done you carefully walked back over to the table and set the coffee and water in front of him.

He gulped down the water, and then went to take a sip of the coffee.

"Carefu-"

"HOLY SHIT THATS HOT AS FUCK!" He shouted.

"Shh!" you hushed him as you busted up laughing.

He seemed sober already.

You continued to laugh as he tried to look down as his mouth, while poking the tip of his tongue with his finger, with a frown. You covered your mouth, trying to stop your laughter.

His eyes went wide as he looked at you.

"Seriously! Its hot as hell!" he said.

You laughed more and he smiled as he took a more careful sip.

A few minutes later he seemed to be mostly sober.

"Thanks, for helping me out there." he said.

"No problem. It was kinda rude how he threw you out there like that." you said sipping your hot chocolate.

"Eh," he waved it off. "That's just Jimmy. He throws me out all the time. This time he just did it a little sooner than usual." he said.

You nod your head and take another sip of your drink.

"What's your name?" He asked you.

"Y/N. What's yours?" you ask.

"Warren DeMartini. Nice to meet you Y/N." he smiled as he stuck his hand out to shake yours.

You took it and smiled at him.

Suddenly your bad day seemed to be turning around, and all at the help of a stranger.

"What were you doin out so late anyways?" He asked.

"Well, I was actually having a pretty off day, and I was on the other side of town and then the bus shut down. So I've had to walk my way all the way back." you said.

"You live far from here?" he asks.

You shake your head.

"Only a couple blocks more and I'd be home. What about you?"

"Eh, not too far off. Me and my friends are in a band called Ratt, and we did a concert in that bar and yeah." HE explained.

IT was out of context but it didn't matter. You were still interested. You'd heard of Ratt before and thought they were pretty good.

"What's your part in Ratt?" you asked.

"Lead Guitarist." he said finishing off his coffee.

You nod your head. "Cool." you said.

He smiled.

"You a fan?" he asked.

"Sorta." you responded.

HE leaned back.

"How'd you like to come see us tomorrow? We're doin another concert in that bar again." he said.

"I'd like that." you smiled up at him.

He stared into your eyes for a moment and then he jumped as if he just remembered something, he then pulled out a pen from his pocket, and grabbed two napkins from the dispenser.

He wrote a number and his name on it, and then handed it to you, and handed you the pen and the napkin, asking you to put your number on it as well.

You wrote down your home phone number and your name and handed it back to him.

"I'll call you tomorrow." he said.

"Alright" you smiled.

"Its getting late..." you said a bit later.

He nodded his head.

"Could I walk you home?" he asks. "I wouldn't want you by yourself. Especially this late. Though I have no doubt you could handle yourself." he winked.

You looked down and blushed.

"Alright." you said.

***

After you had reached your door. You turned to him. "This is me." you said.

"Well, goodnight Y/N. Thank you for the help and the coffee, and I shall see you tomorrow at the concert." he said.

"Goodnight Warren, no problem, and I'll see you then." you smiled up at him.

He stared at you with a smile for a minute and then kissed your cheek.

He began to walk away, but then stopped.

He walked back, "Sorry." he said as he pushed his lips to yours.

You kissed back, the warmth from his lips giving you a wonderful feeling.

He pulled back and kissed your forehead before walking away.

Boy, was he something.
