The red carpet shines under the camera flashes as you step out of the car beside Sebastian. The noise hits right away, photographers calling out and fans cheering from behind the barricades. Sebastian adjusts his jacket and smiles easily, calm and relaxed, like this kind of attention is just another part of the night. You lift a hand and wave, feeling a little dazzled but enjoying the moment.

You walk a few steps down the carpet together, stopping when photographers ask for photos. Sebastian shifts closer so you’re both in frame, the cameras clicking nonstop. Fans call out, and you head over to them, signing autographs, posing for a few selfies, laughing when someone gets tongue-tied. Even with all the noise, things feel comfortable between you, natural.

Sebastian leans in just enough for you to hear him. "This is harder than i thought."

You just chuckled and kept smiling to the cameras.
