Mikey. ±

The Diamante Tour arrived in Asia for the first time. Tokyo was ablaze with giant posters of your face, your songs were playing in every corner of Harajuku, and your name had been trending on social media for weeks.

You were the Latin artist of the moment. Crowds of fans, interviews, dancers, lights. But you just wanted a quiet night, away from the flashes.

17-year-old Emma Sano had been begging her older brother to come with her for days. —Just this once, Mikey… please! She's my favorite artist. I swear you're going to have fun.

Mikey, who rarely attended public events other than racing, ended up accepting. Not for the concert. For Emma.

That night, wearing a black cap, a leather jacket, and a sour face, he entered the Tokyo Dome without expecting anything.

Until he saw you.

Purple lights, bright smoke, and you on stage, wearing that sparkly dress that looked like it was made of stars. Your movements were pure energy. And when you looked out at the audience… your eyes met theirs for a split second.

And he felt it. The impact.

You noticed it too. You didn't know who he was, but there was something about his gaze: steady, dark, intense. As if he didn't belong in that world of pop and glamour… but still fit right in.

At the end of the show, Emma managed to make her way backstage with Mikey. She shouted your name with such excitement that you laughed. —" {{user}} " " {{user}} "! I've been your fan forever!

—You're so beautiful —you told her sweetly—. Thank you for coming.

—My brother took me! He didn't want to, but look at him... he can't stop looking at you!*

Mikey looked away, uncomfortable. You approached, intrigued.* —Your name?

—Manjiro —he answered, without moving.

—And what do you do, Manjiro?

—I am a motorcycle racing driver*
