Damiano x Reader

Protector

I just finished putting on my lip gloss when Damiano walked into the dressing room telling us there is two minutes until show time. He walked to me kissing my head and I looked up at him with a big smile.

"Ready, piccola?" he said and I blushed a little hearing the nickname he chose for me because of how short I am compared to everyone in the group.

"Born ready!" I say and he chuckled at my cute face before we kiss quickly before walking out behind the stage to meet the rest of the band.

"Let's rock it guys!" Thomas said and we all screamed 'yeah' before walking one by one onto the stage. The audience screamed and we all waved and made rock signs with out hands before going to our positions. 

"Are you ready!?" Damiano yelled into the microphone and everyone screamed in excitement. I had to admit I was pretty excited myself because this is by far the biggest audience we had yet. 

"Alright! Let's get it started then!" he said and the music started playing as he gave me side glance waiting for my nod of reassurance. It's the little thing we liked to do just to check on each other from time to time.

After a few songs, I walked towards the audience singing one of my favorite songs Damiano wrote for us, Le parole lontana and everyone turned on their flashlights making the whole place look like a sky filled with shining stars. 

I was so focused on enjoying the beautiful sight and making sure to follow Damiano's vocal that I didn't notice a guy jumping the fence and walking up behind me. I guess security didn't expect anyone to do something this stupid but suddenly I stopped singling feeling someone's hand on my butt. 

Damiano heard that I stopped following him looking at my direction throwing down his microphone and the music stopped. He jumped off the stage rushing towards the guy who was now being taken out by the security guards. 

He would have pushed through if I haven't blocked his path telling him that this is not a time and place for a fight. 

"You disrespectful, son of a bitch!" Damiano yelled over me at the guy who was smirking back at him.

"Why do you care!? She is not your girlfriend as far as we know! And you are gay, dude!" the guy yelled back and I felt Damiano try to move past me so I held his bicep pulling him back and he obliged.

His jaw clenched and he went backstage to cool off as we took a short breather break. The rest of our friends checked on me hugging and reassuring me that this was beyond my control and I smiled grateful to have their support. I then walked to join Damiano outside where he was smoking his cigarette. 

"Hey, we should be back in five" I say walking outside noticing the way his fist clenched and unclenched as he paced around in frustration. 

"Stop" I say grading his hand and he stops pacing now standing right in front of me looking down at my face.

"Nobody should be able to disrespects you like that when I am here" he said and I went on my tip toes pecking his lips and he signed relaxing a little bit.

"What happened happened and there is nothing we can do about it now. Let's get out there and play some music. We shouldn't let that asshole stop us from doing what we love" I say taking his hand and pulling him inside as he throws the cigarette and follows after me. 

Once we were backstage, everyone tapped his shoulder completely understanding why he did what he did showing their support to both of us. 

"I just wanted too say that we won't let this stand and that this guy will be persecuted for public sexual harassment. We got your back Y/N" our menage said and everyone nodded making me smile at my family.

"Thank you. Now, let's go give those people what they are waiting for" I say and everyone screened excitedly expect Damiano who was really taken back by my selflessness after what happened. He loved that about me.

When we walked out on the stage again everyone was shouting and cheering. Damiano showed the music to stop for a second as he took his microphone and went in the middle of the stage.

"Before we continue sharing our music that we put our heart and soul into with you guys, I just want to address the incident that happened. Y/N is the reason we decided to come back out and finish this night with you. She is the most selfless human being that I have ever had a pleasure of knowing. She such a talented singer and a beautiful person inside out. She is the last person who deserved for someone to disrespect her in any way especially to try and act smart and sexually harass her. She is also someone very special to me and I think it's the right time to be open about that because our relationship is one of the most valuable things in my life next to my friendship with these fools and the band and the music we create. I love you so much" he finished looking at me as I stood there in awe with red cheeks holding tightly onto my microphone. 

"Let's all give it out for Y/N!" he yelled into the microphone bringing you back from your thoughts as you heard your name being shouted by the entire audience. You felt a tear fall down your cheek and Damiano walked towards you giving you a hug as everyone cheered. 

"I will always protect you, mi piccola bambina" he whispered and I nodded feeling his lips on mine as everyone screamed. 

"I love you so much" I say before we both walk to our positions and the music starts playing once again.
