HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT: Sugarhill Ddot’s Secret Romance

(Xreader with chosen name fanfic)

The soft glow of neon lights bathed the small recording studio in hues of pink and blue. Sugarhill Ddot sat back in his chair, his hoodie pulled low over his face as the instrumental for his next track looped in the background. His phone buzzed constantly on the desk beside him—fans flooding his Instagram with comments about his latest single, My Baby, with Star Bandz.

The collaboration had set the internet on fire. Fans adored their chemistry on the track, the way their voices intertwined so effortlessly. But their obsession didn’t stop there. Every Instagram post, every story, every livestream was dissected for clues about the nature of their relationship. Were they just collaborators? Best friends? Or something more?

For Ddot, it was almost amusing. Almost.

He glanced at the tattoo peeking out from behind his ear, the name “Sonder” etched in delicate red ink. If only they knew the truth.

(The Beginning of Something Real)

Ddot had known Star for over a year. They met through mutual friends in the industry and quickly hit it off as collaborators. Star was loud, confident, and unapologetically ambitious—a mirror to Ddot’s own charisma. But it wasn’t until he met her sister, Sonder, that things shifted.

Sonder wasn’t anything like her twin. Where Star thrived in the spotlight, Sonder stayed in the shadows. She was shorter, curvier, with dark, coiled curls that framed her face. She rarely said much, but when she did, her voice carried a quiet strength that captivated Ddot.

At first, their interactions were casual. She’d pass through the room during one of Star’s late-night studio sessions, offering snacks or drinks before disappearing back to her room. But something about her lingered in his mind.

One night, after wrapping up a session with Star, Ddot found Sonder sitting on the back porch, her sketchbook balanced on her knees.

“Didn’t think you’d still be up,” he said, stepping outside.

She looked up, startled, before offering him a shy smile. “I like it out here. It’s quiet.”

He sat down beside her, glancing at the sketch she was working on. It was a beautiful design—an abstract mix of shapes and symbols.

“You made this?” he asked, genuinely impressed.

“Yeah,” she said softly. “It’s just for fun.”

“Nah, this ain’t just for fun. This is talent.”

She blushed, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. “Thanks.”

That night, they talked for hours. It was the first time Ddot felt like someone saw him—not the rising star, not the face of Sugarhill—but just him.

________

Their relationship blossomed in secret. They knew the risks of going public, especially with the way fans were already shipping Ddot and Star. The industry thrived on drama, and the idea of him dating Star’s twin sister would send people into a frenzy.

Ddot didn’t care about the rumors, but he cared about Sonder. She wasn’t built for the spotlight the way her sister was. The idea of her being dragged into his chaotic world made him protective of her in ways he hadn’t expected.

Their moments together were stolen and sacred. Late-night FaceTime calls, long drives to secluded spots, whispered conversations in the corners of Star’s house when no one was looking.

“You really got me out here sneaking around,” Sonder teased one evening as they sat in his car, parked at the edge of a quiet park.

He smirked, leaning closer. “You complaining?”

She laughed softly, her cheeks warming. “Not really.”

_______

Ddot was never one to shy away from bold decisions. So when he decided to get Sonder’s name tattooed behind his ear, it felt natural—like a promise.

The ink was simple but meaningful, a testament to the girl who had stolen his heart without even trying. When he posted a close-up of the tattoo on Instagram, the caption read: “Something personal.”

Fans went wild. Theories swirled: Was it a song title? A tribute to someone in his life? Star’s name wasn’t Sonder, so the connection wasn’t obvious.

For a while, the mystery stayed intact. But that all changed during a now-infamous livestream.

(The Stream That Changed Everything)

Ddot was streaming with his closest friends—Brooklyn, DD, and Jay. The energy was high, the banter playful as they laughed and joked with the thousands of fans watching.

“Yo, Ddot,” Brooklyn said suddenly, leaning closer to the screen. “What’s that on your neck?”

Ddot froze, his hand instinctively flying up to cover the hickey just barely visible under his hoodie.

Brooklyn grinned mischievously. “Nah, don’t even try to hide it now! What’s that, my guy?”

The chat exploded. Messages like “WHO GAVE HIM THAT?!” and “DDOT GOT A GIRL???” scrolled by faster than he could read.

DD, never one to miss an opportunity, jumped in. “Hold up, hold up. And what about that tattoo you posted? ‘Sonder’? That her name?”

Ddot laughed nervously, his usual swagger momentarily faltering. “Y’all doing too much, man.”

But Brooklyn wasn’t letting up. “So you got someone’s name tatted and a hickey in the same week? Bro, you in love or what?”

Ddot mumbled something unintelligible, then abruptly stood up and walked off-camera, leaving his friends—and the fans—buzzing with speculation.

_______

The internet went into overdrive after the stream. Fans dissected every detail, piecing together clues in their quest to uncover Ddot’s mystery girl. When one particularly persistent fan discovered Sonder’s private Instagram account, everything unraveled.

The account was filled with photos that told a story no one had expected. Pictures of Sonder and Ddot cuddling on a couch, selfies of them kissing, and videos of him laughing with her in the background.

The leaks spread like wildfire. Within hours, Sonder’s name was trending, and the narrative shifted from “Are Star and Ddot dating?” to “Who is Sonder, and why didn’t we know about her?”

(The Fallout)

Sonder wasn’t prepared for the attention. Her phone buzzed nonstop with notifications—some supportive, but many cruel.

“Stay away from Ddot!”

“You’re ruining his career!”

“You’re just jealous of your sister!”

The rumors hurt more than she let on, but she tried to stay strong.

Star, however, wasn’t having it.

______

During her next livestream, Star decided to address the situation head-on. She sat in front of the camera, her expression uncharacteristically serious.

“Alright, I gotta say something,” she began, her voice firm.

The chat lit up instantly, fans begging for answers.

“First of all, y’all need to leave my sister alone,” Star said, leaning closer to the camera.

The messages slowed, as if the viewers were holding their breath.

“Sonder didn’t ask for any of this. She’s not in the industry, she’s not chasing clout, and she’s definitely not trying to compete with me. Y’all don’t know her, so stop coming for her.”

Her voice grew sharper. “And for the record, me and Ddot? Never been a thing. My Baby was a song, not a confession. So stop trying to pit us against each other. That’s my sister, and I love her.”

Her words went viral, earning her praise from fans who admired her loyalty.

_____

Despite Star’s defense, the pressure on Sonder and Ddot didn’t let up.

One night, as they sat together in Sonder’s room, she finally voiced her fears.

“Maybe we should take a break,” she said quietly, her head resting against his shoulder.

Ddot pulled back to look at her. “What? Nah, don’t say that.”

“I just don’t want to make things harder for you,” she admitted, her voice trembling. “Your fans, your career…this could ruin everything.”

“You think I care about that?” he asked, his voice firm. “I care about you. That’s it. Let them talk. Let them hate. I’m not going anywhere.”

Her eyes filled with tears, but she smiled, nodding as he wrapped his arms around her.

The next chapter———

Over time, the frenzy died down. Fans moved on to new rumors and scandals, and the industry shifted its focus back to Ddot’s music.

Sonder deleted her Instagram, choosing to stay out of the public eye. Ddot, meanwhile, doubled down on his career, channeling his emotions into his music.

Their love story wasn’t perfect, but it was theirs—a bond forged in the quiet moments they shared, hidden from the chaos of the world.

Because sometimes, the best things in life are worth fighting for.

Pelle Pelle by Marc Buchanan, established in 1978 in Detroit, Michigan—my city—was originally designed to make a mark in the outerwear industry.

However, it achieved far more than that. With a legacy that spans over 46 years, the brand has become a staple in urban streetwear and has revolutionized leather apparel. I had a lot of fun playing around with this.

Thank you to the beautiful Madison Star for being the muse for this project, and for allowing me to express my creativity through her. I saw those photos from her shoot and instantly thought— “ this is giving me The Source Magazine, 2003. “ and I had to take it there. I love everything she’s doing, and she’s the sweetest soul. One of my favorite mutuals. You can view the full post on my instagram too !
