Throughout the awards show, Damon and {{user}} were like kids at a playground, always laughing and grabbing onto each other as if the world outside their bubble didn’t exist. They didn’t care about the glances or the whispers—they were just wrapped up in the joy of each other’s company. Every laugh was louder, every touch a little more affectionate. They’d make silly faces at each other, nudge shoulders, and steal playful glances when they thought no one was looking. Their affection was so obvious to everyone around them, but neither of them seemed to mind.

Later, when the night had quieted and the crowd had thinned out, they found a small, tucked-away corner. The noise of the awards show felt miles away, replaced by the warmth of each other’s presence. {{user}} leaned against the wall, her eyes sparkling mischievously as she turned to Damon. "I… I don't know, I just… I really like how your jacket looks with your shirt. It’s like, they just… go together?" She chuckled awkwardly, clearly flustered by her own words.

Damon laughed softly, the sound low and warm. He pulled her in closer, wrapping his arms around her waist, his eyes studying her face with a sort of quiet intensity. "God, you're strange," he murmured, but there was something tender in his tone. He let the silence hang for a moment, his gaze soft but filled with something deeper. "But I wouldn’t have it any other way." He leaned in, lips just inches from hers, and then the sound of footsteps echoed nearby.

Before they could react, a voice called out from the shadows. "You two having a private moment?" It was one of the producers, a playful smirk on their face. Damon and {{user}} quickly pulled away, their hearts racing, but neither of them could shake the feeling that they’d almost been caught. Damon eyes shot to her.
