Dave couldn't be happier to be back home. It felt like he aged twenty years on the road. Don't get his words twisted, he loved what he did. He was eternally grateful that he was able to make a living off of what he loved most. Well, maybe not most. But he really couldn't figure out an ethical way to make money off of doing youāso the music would have to do. 
Three years ago Dave would have never dreamt that he could be in a healthy, loving relationship that wasnāt all about lust. Sure, he had great times with other girlfriends, but the lack of stability and his ever-growing dependency on various drugs truly put the nail in the coffin for anything he had going for him. And he was tough according to the press, anyhow. Rude, rough, abrasive, an asshole; all adjectives used to describe Dave. And none that could describe you.
Your pure love and innocence were sweet enough to rot all of his teeth out. The way you smiled at himāthe skin around your eyes would crinkle as they dazzled in the light that guided him to sanctuary. The way your voice was ever so smooth and gentle whenever you spoke to him, almost like you were cooing at a child was like a melody to his ears he never grew tired of. The way your lips were so soft and inviting when youād pout when you were mad at him. The way you cared for him like nobody ever had beforeācooking his meals, ironing his clothes, cleaning the houseāthe whole nine yards.
A younger Dave wouldāve gagged at the thought that he had fallen into a routine with someone that was so.. mundane and domestic. He was Dave Mustaine for Godās sake!
Yet, fate had different plans.
You had spent all day cleaning up the house and doing laundry that you had forgotten all about Dave coming home today. Not that youād necessarily forgotten, but you had collapsed in Daveās armchair in the living room. That was a problem. He forbade you from sitting in his chair when he was home, something about not wanting to wear out the cushion. However, you couldn't help but nestle into a little ball in it. It was so comfortable and soft, and it smelt just like him. It smelt just like home.
āAnd what do you think youāre doing?ā A soft chuckle from above stirred you out of your sleep. For a second you believed you hallucinated his voice. Maybe your sleepy eyes deceived you as they landed on the tall ginger standing before you. The moment his eyes met yours, the slight furrow of his brow faded away and it felt like his hard, deep hazel eyes softened just for a moment.
āHi,ā you breathed out with a smile, looking up at him as his hands rested on your cheeks, calloused palms gently pressed down on your soft skin. āYouāre home..,ā It was almost adorable how endearing your tone of voice was whenever you spokeālike you missed him. And you truly did.
āIām home.ā
The subtle submission and admiration he had for you made your heart flutter in your chest and your stomach flip and churn as you giggled at him. I mean, who else gets to see Megadethās Dave Mustaine all domestic and loving like this? You wanted to take a photo of this moment and frame it in the LouvreāNo. You wanted to keep this moment to yourself forever. Your special secret.
āIāve missed you, so much..,ā Dave hushed tiredly, but the gleam in his eyes only lightened up, his smile widening so far that his cheeks ached. His hands scaled down your face to reach your arms as he clutched your palms. His grip was firm but gentleāas if he were to let go youād vanish.
āI think youāve got it the other way around, honey. Cāmere,ā you beckoned him to lay beside you in the armchair. He immediately complied, snuggling up protectively to your side. Dave wrapped his girthy arm over your shoulder while his other arm rested on your thigh, hands playing with the hem of your shirt innocently.
A small, gentle laugh left his lips. Dave just couldnāt help but feel so joyful around you, the love blooming in his chest just made him want to jump up and down with you in his arms and squeeze you til you turned blue. You were the light of his life that shined bright, even in his darkest hour. His sin, his soul. He was undoubtedly and unconditionally in love with you.
Suddenly, his eyes shot up as your head recoiled back, your cute nose scrunching up in disgust and your lips pursing.
āMy God Dave. When was the last time you showered? You smell terrible!ā
āUhh⦠Well..,ā Dave awkwardly cleared his throat and chuckled. There goes sappy, sentimental Dave, I guess. To be frankāhe hated it when he got that way. It made him feel so weak and vulnerable.
You quickly scrambled out of his lap, walking away to your shared bedroom. He watched your frame trudge up the stairs, the way your legs swished back and forth. Dave half considered jogging up to catch up with you, but he was honestly too exhausted. The road took a lot of energy out of him and the last thing he needed was a stupid argument the moment he went inside his own house.
Then the bedroom door slammed shut. Seriously?
He waited a minute for you to come down. Maybe you had to use the bathroom. He knew you hated the downstairs one. He knew everything. Then he waited two. Dave yawned sleepily and with a dramatic huff, he stood up from the chair.
Only when he arrived upstairs into your shared bedroom he could hear the light whispering of water running, but no lights seemed to creep from under the door. Oh God, were you drowning yourself because he stunk that badly?!
Dave slowly crept the door open, peeking into the bathroom. His hazel eyes adjusted to the darknessāthe only light being a few vanilla candles surrounding the bathtub that you had placed down previously. Your āspa dayā candles, as you say. Two towels lay on the counterāone for his hair and the other for his body.
āDid I really smell that badā?ā
āNo. It's your spa day, babe. Now I want you to lie down and relax, okay?ā
Dave chuckled and sent you one of his iconic smirks you often saw on his bandās posters, āIf you wanted me naked you couldāve just askedāā
āMustaine. Bath. Now.ā
How could he argue with such a pretty face?
The next morning, you could hear birds chirping outside, a domestic tune that often greeted you in the morning, a natural alarm clock. Your face scrunches up as the sunās blinding rays peeked from the curtains. You roll over with a groan, eyes still shut as your hand feels around the side of the bed for your (now clean) companion. Instead, you were greeted with coldness.
The door to your bedroom gently opened and your eyes slowly adjusted to the sight before you, blinking ever so often. A ginger figure approached you, holding out a TV tray with a hot plate of chocolate chip pancakes and sizzling crispy bacon. Waitāwhat?
āGood morning⦠I thought I'd make you a little treat since you wereāyāknow, nice, Yesterday..,ā Daveās voice came out in a mumble and if it weren't for having a visual before you, you wouldāve thought it was a little schoolboy this. His cheeks flushed a soft red, almost rivalling the color of the messy locks that framed his face. He looked ethereal. A Greek God, if you will.
His large, calloused hands carefully placed the tray on your lap, careful not to spill a single drop of syrup on your lap. Daveās sharp eyes scanned the meal before he noticed the lack of a drink on your tray. Goddamnit!
āDamnit, I forgot your orange juice. Stay here,ā Dave demanded and pointed a stern finger at you. His brows furrowed in concentration: the man was on a mission.
And right there, on that random Tuesday morning, with the sun in your eyes and the hot pancakes melting the butter Dave scraped on top, the (not so) quiet banging of unfamiliar cabinets opening and shutting in the kitchen, you knew that you had made it in life.

going too a concert with dave and going in the moshpit, AND LIKE HIS ARMS AROUND YOU SO YOURE NOT GETTING HIT
A/n: OH MY GOD I CANT heād be so protective and cute and just agagaghsjdjskdkskkdkfkdks
Warnings: fighting, Dave gets grinded on by some guy and punches him, thereās nothing really but if you think I missed something let me know otherwise enjoy!
āCome on, Dave, Iāll be fine.ā You said, leading him down the bustling street, groups of bedazzled drunks marching this way and that to get to the clubs. āIāve been to concerts before.ā
Dave stared off behind you, making sure you werenāt about to run into anything. āNot like this you havenāt.ā He sighed, letting you guide him along to some punk place.
You opened the door, a band was playing but there werenāt many people there and the band wasnāt very good, didnāt help they didnāt fit the vibe, not even just of the club but the whole damn strip. They looked like Elvis or The Beatles, their secret love child coming a few years too late at the wrong place.
You went straight to the stage, getting right up close and watching with big eyes. Being sheltered a lot by your parents you never got to experience live bands like Dave did, luckily he was there to show you what youād been missing. Although, Dave was hesitant to let you run free on the strip.
Dave let out a heavy sigh as you went off, going to the bar and ordering you some drinks. He didnāt stay seated for long, the band noticed your excitement, in particular the singer, and started talking directly to you, reaching for your hands, wiggling his hips at you. Dave was having none of it so he came to stand with you.
The singer backed off and soon their set was over, thatās when the room started filling, groups filing in like a parade.
Dave held onto you, keeping his arm over your shoulders and holding you to his side. When the band came on it only got worse, everyone pushing and shoving.
Daveās arms went around your waist and he moved you to be in front of him, keeping himself between you and the moshing crowd.
You were completely entranced by the band, a twinkle in your eyes while Dave was busy trying to keep you standing.
People were pushing and shoving him but he didnāt care, elbowing people off left and right so you could peacefully enjoy your night. Someone spilled a drink right down his back and felt it trickling under the waistband of his jeans and into his boxers, he cringed but just kissed the top of your head.
Occasionally heād say something in your ear, having to yell just for you to hear him over the music, or heād rub your side, squeeze your hip, anything to let you know he was still there between fighting people off.
He built a cage around you, preferring to snap his wrist trying to catch himself than let you get bruised, heād come pretty damn close to it a few times.
His breaking point was a guy thinking he was some tall chick, his long hair masking the chiseled jawline on the other side. The guy saw what he thought was a woman and started grinding on him, what he didnāt expect was the fist to his jaw he got in return, a fuming Dave towering over him when he tumbled to the sticky ground.
Dave didnāt waste a second after that, wrapping an arm around your waist and lifting you onto his hip to carry you out of the bar, despite your protests.
āDavie-Davie!ā You yelled once you got out of the bar, after Dave finally let you back onto your feet. He kept a hold on your wrist, gripping it tightly so he could drag you back to his car. āDavie, come on, it wasnāt that bad!ā
āFor you it wasnāt!ā He snapped, shooting you a look. You opened your mouth to say something but nothing came out and you followed him silently.
Dave opened the passenger side door for you and waited for you to get in before going over to the drivers side, ripping his shirt off and tossing it into the back with a huff.
He inhaled deeply and looked back at you, rolling his eyes when he found you eyeing his now bare torso, the ginger peach fuzz on his chest and trailing up from under his belt. āHey, look at me.ā He said, taking your chin in his hand and tilting your head up. āThat was hell.ā He stated.
You chewed your cheek. āI wouldāve survived without you needing to be right there.ā You grumbled, crossing your arms over your chest and slumping in your seat.
Dave scoffed and started the car. āNext time Iām bringing you to the Cat House, see how long you last there with people getting off in the corners.ā He grumbled as he pulled out of the parking spot.
Your brows raised at that, the idea of being with Dave in the corner where everyone could see.
Dave swatted your chest to get your attention. āNo fucking ideas, you owe me enough as it is.ā
