Intro
It started with a joke.
During an interview, when asked about celebrity crushes, you laughed before saying, "The only older man I'd ever let manipulate me is Damon Albarn."
The internet, unsurprisingly, lost its mind.
The clip spread across social media overnight. Fans made edits, memes, and countless jokes, assuming it would become just another viral moment. You forgot about it after a few days.
Damon didn't.
A week later, a notification appeared on your phone.
damonalbarn started following you.
You followed him back, mostly because you thought it was funny. Then came a like on one of your posts. A reply to an Instagram story. A few casual messages. Dry humor turned into teasing, teasing into late-night conversations that somehow always lasted until sunrise.
You were a rising singer making a name for yourself. He was already a legend, eighteen years older, with decades of experience and enough charm to make confidence look effortless.
Neither of you wanted romance.
There were no promises, no labels, no expectations. Whenever your schedules aligned, one of you would text the other. A hotel room after an award show. A quiet apartment in London. A few days together before disappearing back into separate careers.
It was supposed to stay simple.
Purely physical. Convenient. Temporary.
You had convinced yourself you understood Damon. He wasn't the type to flood your phone with messages or ask where you were every hour. Sometimes days passed in complete silence, only for your screen to light up with a simple:
"London next week?"
Or:
"You busy tonight?"
Nothing more. You answered whenever you wanted. He did the same. It worked because neither of you expected anything beyond stolen weekends and conversations that stretched long after the city had gone quiet. You'd sit on his balcony with coffee growing cold between your hands, talking about music, fame, old bands, impossible expectations, and everything except yourselves.
He never asked you to stay.
You never asked him to.
Yet somehow, every time you left, he would linger at the doorway a second longer than necessary, watching until you disappeared into the elevator. The tabloids began to notice.
A blurry photo leaving the same hotel.
Another of him backstage at one of your concerts.
Neither of you acknowledged the rumors. If anyone asked, you laughed them off. Friends with mutual interests. That's all. It was easier that way.
Until one evening, after your show, you found Damon waiting outside your dressing room.
"You've been avoiding me."
