~ damiano david imagines ~

per tutta la notte

first i want to give credits to ManeskinIda for funding me with ideas for writing. i'm always fresh out of ideas so let me know what you guys want to read. anyways here goes nothing.

-------------------------------------------------------

my whole life i've had sleep issues, insomnia and night terrors, a little adhd mixed in didn't add up for a great night of sleep.

out of my two sisters only one of them seemed to have these same sleep issues as me, though victoria's sleep issues seemed to get better over the years, they never fully went away. mine always seemed to get worse.

damiano always seemed to know how to coax me to sleep but when me and the rest of the band were in france while he was held back in italy it was safe to say i didn't sleep at all. victoria, ethan, and thomas tried to help me but there wasn't really anything anyone could do. it was as if damiano had some magic powers to make me sleep.

"so you guys excited to go to spain?" victoria said as we all sat on the balcony of her hotel room, we were leaving marseille and going to barcelona today, still no clue of when damiano would be able to join us.

"yeah," i yawned and rubbed my eyes,

"still no sleep?" ethan said looking concerned at me,

"nope, but damiano called me for like 1/2 hour and tried to talk me to sleep last night. however, even talking about him having to wash the floors of his parents house couldn't put me to sleep."

"damn," thomas said taking a sip out of his glass.

we sat and talked for a little longer before grabbing a taxi and heading to the airport, and after an hour and 10 mins of toddlers on sugar-highs screaming and babies not used to airplane pressure crying we arrived in barcelona.

"so.. slight issue with the rooms.." our manager said through gritted teeth, "we only have three in between all four of you."

"that's fine," i sighed thinking we wouldn't have been given any rooms let alone three. "me and victoria can share a room, maybe i'll get some sleep from the white noise, aka vic's obnoxious snoring." i giggled and she rolled her eyes.

"good enough for me." our manager said leading us up to our rooms.

------------------------------------------------

we sat around the hotel rooms and walked around the streets for some time before it became that awful time were i couldn't sleep,

i moved out of the position i had been holding trying to sleep for what felt like 3 years and grabbed my phone, 01:42.

i seemed to have woken up victoria though because she started stirring on her side of the bed, groaning softly.

"did i wake you up?" i whispered, she sighed and sat up to my confusion.

"nope, haven't fallen asleep yet, scratch that haven't fallen asleep in days."

"really? your sleep issues getting that bad again?"

"they were never good, i convinced myself it was because yours were so bad.."

"vic.." i said putting a hand on her shoulder,

" no don't worry about it.. usually some melatonin or nyquil can get me under."

"huh, that never worked for me," i giggled.

after a minute i silenced myself and looked at vic, we both burst out laughing, wheezing even.

"wanna watch tv?" i said withdrawing from my laugh, victoria ending hers too and nodding.

i'm not sure how long we were watching grey's anatomy but at some point we both silenced and seemed to fall at least half asleep.

_________________________________

the next few days went just like that, me and vic chugging 415ml of coffee every morning and somehow making it through the day and then laughing our asses off playing board games and watching tv before falling into a light sleep.

one morning i woke up to a couple missed calls from damiano, i walked out onto the hotel balcony and called him back,

"buongiorno bambino," i yawned,

"buongiorno bella," he said cheerily.

"why'd you call? you have an eta on when you're coming out to barcelona?" i tried not to let excitement get ahead of me,

"unfortunately no, just calling to see how you've been and if you've uh.."

"been sleeping?" i finished the sentence for him.

"hit the nail right on the head," he joked,

"been super fun, and i've been sleeping 4 or 5 hours every night, not the deepest sleep but not fully awake or anything."

"yeah at least you're getting sleep," he said, "alright i think i gotta go i'll call you later mk?" he said and abruptly hung up before i could respond.

while i thought it a little weird i payed it no mind and went on with my day, we went down to the lobby for a quick meeting with our manager and others and were told we were going to have to leave our hotel and we were going to stay in a house for the next month we were spending in barcelona.

we packed up our bags and got to the house, pretty gorgeous but again there was the issue of not enough beds, but after spending a week in a room with vic, ethan and thomas agreed to bunk up so we could have our own beds, but after an hour of ethan sleep kicking thomas, leaving a massive purple bruise on thomas's shin, thomas crawled into bed with me.

at 03:45 i was still awake watching shameless, i couldn't tell if thomas was awake or not, i paused the tv and heard thomas slightly snoring, i sighed and walked down the stairs and through the hall into the kitchen, grabbing a snack and a vitaminwater to drink.

i sat in the kitchen scrolling through instagram for a while before jumping out of my seat and grabbing a knife when i heard keys jangling in the door, i stayed behind a wall in the kitchen and waited for someone to come into the kitchen but nobody did, they seemed to go upstairs.

"y/n?" i heard a familiar voice call out,

"dami?" i said walking up the stairs to see my boyfriend of 7 years standing at the top of the stairs. "what are you doing here?" i smiled,

"well i got out of all of that stuff i was working on," he smiled and lifted me up, "so where are we sleeping?" he said looking around

"well," i started,

i told him the whole story of everything that had happened and we ended up waking up thomas to go sleep in vic's bed so me and damiano could have a bed but as we laid down it occurred to damiano that i had been awake at 04:00,

"can't sleep again?" he said rubbing my back,

i groaned a little and squirmed a bit,

"try to sleep bambina, per tutta la notte,"

that was the last thing i heard before falling asleep then waking up again in his arms.
