“so i'm assuming that's a yes, guessing from the dumb smiles on your faces?” damiano says, sitting across the two girls in a studio.

the band is supposed to gather and write some new music, but victoria insisted that alice joins them this time as she was really curious.

damiano had already put the puzzle together and knew what that meant but he enjoyed teasing victoria more than anything, so he had been playing dumb for around half an hour before he finally decided to give them a break.

“fucking finally!” he says and throws his arms in the air, earning confused looks from both the blonde and the brunette.

“you seriously saw us together once and you were literally blackout drunk.” victoria states, confused at her friend's reaction to her new girlfriend.

“even when drunk, i can do miracles.” he says. “i don't just invite people to dance vic. i throw in ideas as well.” he says, gesturing at alice, who he was dancing with at the party only moments before the two girls ended up making out.

“now that you mention it, i do remember you telling me something related to that.” alice admits.

“exactly.” damiano smiles victoriously. “but jokes aside i'm very happy for you two!”

then the bell rings and he rushes to open, the two missing band members entering the studio.

they gather around and start throwing in ideas, alice observing at awe. damiano is scribbling every word on a notebook, then starting to slowly form some lines.

he reads it out loud to everyone and waits to hear their opinions, alice being the first one to nod excitedly when asked whether she liked it or not.

“i think it fits more as a chorus than a first verse.” ethan points out and damiano dives back into his notebook, occasionally checking for new words in previous pages.

the band gather around him, suggesting new rhymes and ideas and alice watches, enjoying the focused looks on their faces.

victoria's eyebrows are furrowed as she's reading what damiano writes and trying to think of new additions to it.
alice couldn't take her eyes off of her.

“okay i think we got something.” damiano announces and reads the continuation of what he'd written some minutes ago.

again, everyone seems pleased. damiano writes some more and then announces that he's done and lets everyone read it.

with a few more changes, the song is finished. now it's missing a name.

the words are flying out of their mouths non stop, but nothing seems quite right to them.

“what do you think alice?” thomas addresses her and she looks up at him.

“for a title?” she pauses when the blonde nods. “uhh i don't know... maybe something like ‘ghost’? or something like that? i mean the song is about someone getting ghosted.” she pauses to think again and then claps her hands. “what about ‘ghost of you’?”

victoria doesn't hesitate to show her excitement at alice's proposal and she plants an excited kiss on her cheek.
“i love it.”

“me too, it's fitting.” ethan says and thomas nods in agreement.

“okay so we have three votes for ‘ghost of you’. what's your final verdict dami?” victoria asks the singer who is still sitting on the floor, thinking.

“i say we keep it.” he announces. “it's pretty cool.”

a few months later, the song is released, giving måneskin yet another song at the top of the charts.

there isn't a single radio station that hasn't played ‘ghost of you’ and everyone is talking about it.

and when asked what inspired them to write it, victoria was the one to explain it, a proud smile on her shining face.

“the idea started from me.” she says, the rest of the group nodding in agreement. “because i have this friend who got ghosted and then she destroyed his ass when he called her after weeks. so she's a huge part of what inspired this song.”

“she is also the one who gave the song its name!” damiano adds.

the interviewer smiles and nods, then moves to the next question.

and alice watched them with pride through her laptop, clapping along with naya to their new success.

“naya do you know who that is?” she asks the dog, pointing at victoria.

naya tilts her head, as if asking for an explanation.

“it's chilli's mom!” says alice and watches the big dog wag her tail excitedly at the mention of her dog friend. “aw you really love chilli, don't you?”

naya barks and wags her tail even more excitedly.

“i really love her mom.” she says.

“aw she loves you too.” victoria's voice startles alice as she walks inside the living room of alice's house.

“you bitch! you scared the life out of me!” alice scolds her. “i didn't give you the key to my apartment so that you can come in and scare me!”

“i'm sorry, but i overheard you talking to naya and i couldn't help but eavesdrop. it was too adorable to interrupt.”

“i hate you!” alice says but pulls victoria down on the couch with her, softly pecking her lips.

“i love you too.” victoria says and accepts the kiss with a smile.

alice never believed she would have so much love to give to one person, but every time she saw victoria she couldn't help but fall in love all over again.

and to have her in her arms feels like a dream she doesn't want to ever wake up from.
