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

𝟏𝟎

"Ouuuuu Damiano" Ethan says laughing but Damiano doesn't notice him, the only thing he can focus on right now is that little piece of paper in his hands.

They all enter the elevator. Ethan knows about Luna but both, Victoria and Thomas are more than confused.

"Who is Luna?" Thomas asks Damiano.
Damiano doesn't even look at him, his eyes are glued on the still folded letter.

"Damiano? Do you hear us?" Victoria asks laughing after not getting an answer to Thomas's question but Damiano also doesn't answer her question.

"I mean I know who she is" Ethan shows off laughing

"WHAT?! Why does Ethan get to know her and we don't?!" Thomas asks

"I never said I know her" Ethan declares "I just said I know who she is but that doesn't mean I know her I only saw her once"

"WHAT?! You even saw her??" Victoria shouts "What is this shit? Damiano? Damiano?" but still he doesn't respond.

"Okay Ethan since Damiano obviously either doesn't want to talk to us, suddenly became deaf, or is in another galaxy right now it's your job to bring us up to date" Thomas demands

"Yes I think so too" Victoria adds.

"I mean it's not really my job I guess but you definitely deserve to know because she's the reason Damiano was how he was this morning, " Ethan says unsure if he should continue or not.

"I'm gonna kill her if I ever see her, what the hell did she do to hurt Damiano like this nobody is allowed to  hurt him, and above all not some random girl " Victoria says angrily

Finally, Damiano speaks up:

"You're not gonna do anything to her she is perfect and she did absolutely nothing wrong"

Victoria and Thomas are both staring at him with wide-open eyes. He obviously likes her and he likes her a lot if he talks like this about her. That's the first time they hear him talk about a girl like this, he never even talked about his past girlfriends like this.

"Damiano I don't know about you but that definitely sounds like you have a crush on this Luna girl and don't worry if you like her I will not do anything to her and if she's nice I claim becoming her best friend" Victoria shouts excited

"He definitely has a crush on her I saw it with my own eyes" Ethan confirms laughing

"I- I- I have not" Damiano suddenly answers annoyed

"you do bro you do just believe me if she is the one you wrote all these lyrics then you definitely do" Thomas pats his shoulder

"Whatever" Damiano replies "and can someone now please press this stupid elevator button we've been in here for at least 5 minutes and we haven't moved a millimeter"

Victoria finally presses the button. They leave the elevator silent and everyone is going into their rooms. Victoria, Ethan and Thomas change and instantly go into bed because their tiredness overtook them but Damiano suddenly isn't tired at all. He's awake, even more than awake, he's excited, he's happy, he's nervous and he's scared all at once. His heart beats like he just finished a marathon. This letter could be anything. The worst thing would probably be if she says that she never wants to see him again.

He takes off his shoes, locks his door, and sits down at the edge of his bed.
His hands are shaking while he opens the letter:

Hey
uhm I don't really know why I'm doing this but you weren't at the coffee shop today and I even waited 30 minutes infront of it after we closed but you didn't appear...
anyways I guess I'm just kinda worried anything happened to you because you will come every day and observe me which I still think is kinda strange but I guess you just don't want to see me anymore which is more than fine because we don't really know each other and what I'm doing here is stupid anyways and you probably think I'm weird now...

Just to clarify this letter doesn't change anything about the fact that you're scary and I don't like you I'm just worried

I'm not even sure if you will ever receive this letter and will read these words but if you do I really hope you're okay and I would love to make you a coffee tomorrow

I hope you're okay

Luna

A huge smile grows on Damiano's face while reading this letter. He never got a letter like this before and it really means a lot to him that she even waited in front of the shop after they closed.

Yeah, she said she doesn't like him but Damiano just laughs thinking about it because he knows exactly that it's not true because otherwise, she wouldn't have written this letter.

He leans back falling into his mattress, pressing the letter to his chest.
He really fell for this girl and every little this she does makes him fall harder and he can't change something about it.

It's already 1 am and Damiano really should go to bed now, they don't have any appointments tomorrow but remembering the last night he really needs sleep right now.

He changes into some sweat pants and a random t-shirt and is about to go to bed when he gets a phone call from an unknown number.
