Do I have to know who you are? / Måneskin / Damiano David

𝟕

Ethan looks at Damiano, then at Luna, and then back at Damiano.

"uhm hi Damiano I didn't expect to see you here but I don't complain about it but what are you doing here?" Ethan asks confused

"oh uhm me? I- I- I just got thirsty from writing lyrics in my hotel room all day and decided to go and buy some coffee I'm about to leave again tho...
but what are you doing here I thought you wanted to go hiking and explore the village?" Damiano asks nervously.

"I was I have to show you the photos I took later it was so cool." Damiano explains exiting "anyway can I please get an Americano To-Go?"

Luna smiles and nods. She goes back behind the counter and starts making the coffee. Damiano and Ethan chat about some irrelevant things to avoid silence but there's still a weird feeling in the air. After some minutes Luna finished the coffee and hands it to Ethan. He pays and is about to leave the coffee shop when he turns back to Damiano.

"hey, Damiano do you wanna come home with me since you already finished your own coffee?" Ethan asks

Damiano doesn't want to go, he wants to stay with Luna and continue admiring her eyes but he obviously can't tell that Ethan.

"Yeah, I'm coming just give me a second I have to grab all my notes with lyrics I wrote" Damiano replies with a sad voice.

That was obviously not how Damiano wanted this day to end. He's upset by the fact that Ethan just popped into this coffee shop and destroyed his plans but he can't be mad at him. He is clueless about what his actions mean to Damiano and if he knew he wouldn't have done it.

On their way home there's silence. None of them wants to talk or does know what to talk about. Ethan obviously feels guilty he knows exactly what he just by accident and needs to tell Damiano how he feels:

"Hey bro I'm sorry I interrupted your little date with her"

Damiano looks up, surprised to hear something like this out of his mouth.

"uhm what are you talking about? what date?" Damiano asks embarrassed and clueless while trying to deny everything.

But he can't trick Ethan, he knows him too well. For him, Damiano is like an open book with all of his myths and secrets. He just has to combine everything but it will always add up perfectly just as it does now.

"Oh come on, you can't fool me I know what I saw, and don't worry I won't tell Victoria and Thomas unless you want me to," Ethan tells him

"well I wouldn't define it as a date but it was definitely something" Damiano declares "also please don't tell the others I want to keep it a secret for a little longer"

"I won't, I promise"

"Thanks, bro," Damiano says relieved

"no problem I will keep your secret safe" Ethan tells the nervous boy who's walking next to him.

"Is she the girl you write all these things about?" Ethan suddenly asks out of nothing

"...maybe...." the boy with his leather journal and the sweaty hands answers shily, not wanting to say too much but Ethan knows exactly that his maybe actually means yes.

"damn...you really have a soft spot for that girl"

"I guess I do" Damiano answers with a huge grin on his face.

"Please tell me something about her please you can't just tell me that you like her and nothing more. You liking a girl is like unbelievable  I don't think that ever really happened" Ethan begs

"hmm okay but don't tell the others" Damiano responds

"I won't"

"Okay so her name is Luna like the moon, she has flawless hair and shining calm eyes like the stars but the way she talks and acts as hot as the sun. She hates me because she's scared of me and doesn't know me or at least that's what she says. She works in that coffee shop which probably belongs to her aunt because I met her in front of it yesterday and talked with her, she has a brother, she likes music but hates concerts because she feels uncomfortable with a lot of people around her and she is simply perfect"

Damiano ends his description of Luna with a sigh and a huge smile on his face.

"wow... I think you already fell hard for her that was some deep shit bro"

Damiano just hums in agreement with his bandmate because in his thoughts he is already back at his table in the coffee shop observing Luna again.

"You said her name was Luna like the moon?" Ethan interrupts Damianos thoughts

"Yeah why?" the boy with the unbuttoned shirt and his shining jewelry asks confused

"you know our band name has something to do with the moon too... I just thought it is a funny coincidence that the first girl you fell really hard for is named after the moon" Ethan laughs

That's something Damiano never thought about but Ethan is right. The band is called Måneskin with is Danish and means moonlight. Victoria came up with the name because she is half Danish and everyone immediately loved it and Luna is Italian and means moon and Damiano immediately loved her...

The rest of the walk back to the hotel between the two of them is silent. Ethan is smoking a cigarette and Damiano tries to process everything that happened today.

At the hotel, they get greeted by Victoria and Thomas who already waited for them. Victoria still has wet her so they probably just got back.

"omg hey Damiano it's nice to see that you decided to join Ethan I felt so bad for leaving you here alone" Thomas mentioned

Ethan and Damiano look at each other for a couple of seconds before Ethan starts to talk:

"Yeah me too, luckily I could convince him to join me we had so much fun and the view was amazing I definitely have to show you the pictures I took"

Damiano lets out a huge sigh in relief. It was the right decision to tell Ethan about Luna he really can trust him. Ethan grabs his phone to show them the pics but Victoria stops him.

"hey let's do that tomorrow in the car, it will be a long day and I'm really tired"

Victoria is right. Tomorrow they have a cover shooting and some interviews for a big Italian magazine and after that, they have rehearsals for a new music video they are planning.

They all decide to go into their rooms and sleep but for Damiano it's impossible. His body is dead tired and wants nothing more than sleep but his mind is fully awake.

Having a long workday tomorrow does also mean that he probably won't be able to see Luna and by the thought of it he starts crying. This girl did something to him he can't explain but he lives it and can't get enough of it.

After some rough hours of forcing himself to sleep and constantly thinking about Luna, he cried himself to sleep and he probably never felt worse...
