    (I personally love this request, thank you sm for it)

    The sun was slowly setting over Gdynia, the warm July air surrounded crowds of excited fans standing in front of the Orange Main Stage, chanting the name Måneskin. You had been here for hours, standing your ground at the very front, pressed against the barricade since Oki's performance. Måneskin was next, and there was no way in hell you were losing your spot now.

    When the first chords ripped through the speakers, the world around you blurred. The stage lit up, and suddenly, they were there—Damiano, Victoria, Ethan, Thomas. The opening notes of their first song of the evening, 'Don't Wanna Sleep', rang out loudly, and everything else melted away.

    Your voice was hoarse from screaming, your heart racing as you sang every word. After a few minutes the song 'For Your Love' started playing.

    And that's when it happened.

    Damiano's eyes locked onto yours. It wasn't accidental. Not a fleeting glance. It was deliberate—heavy-lidded, intense. Like he saw you. Really saw you.

    Time slowed. The stage lights flickered over his sharp features, sweat glistening on his skin, and yet, for a moment, it was just the two of you.

    "I wanna hold you in my arms tonight. For your love I'll do whatever you want." He sang another line of the song, as if he was directing these lyrics solely to you.You felt your breath hitch, fingers gripping the barricade a little tighter.

    And just when you thought he was about to break the stare he winked.

    A slow, knowing wink.

    The heat shot straight through you, even as the crowd around you erupted into chaos. Someone beside you gasped, another girl screamed something in Polish you barely registered.

    But all you could do you stare as Damiano turned away, a smirk ghosting his lips, before launching into the next verse like he hadn't just sent your heart into freefall.

    “Ku rwa…” (transl."Fu ck...") you muttered, not even noticing that Damiano left the stage, heading towards the barriers you were standing behind
