Dear humanity,

I'm Amal, a mother of three children, living under the weight of the genocide taking place in Gaza. 🍉

The Israeli occupation forces launched drone strikes on my husband, Fayez, and my son, Mohammad.

Although my husband's condition has stabilized, my son is still suffering immensely and urgently needs medical treatment outside Gaza.

I beg you, i kiss your feet, to help my son. My son may die at any moment.

I need your help please donate and share, evry contribution, no matter how small, brings us hope in these dark times.

Mohammed deserves to live a happy and healthy life, just like every other child on this earth.

So I humbly ask you to donate even a little or at least reblog this appeal.

coffee date

(a short thing about mutual friends. 944 words.

for clarification, his name is Hiroyuki Nimura; he goes by Hiro nowadays but Yukki is a childhood nickname.)

Yukki: Sry something came up!! Yukki: I'll be back in ummm 10-15min Yukki: You guys have fun talking to each other ok? :)

Nanami lets her arm fall to the table with a thud. The UI on her holo phone blinks off, removing the offending texts from view, but the damage is already done. What the hell did he mean, "something came up"? When he got up two minutes ago, he'd said he was just going to the bathroom. What, did something so urgent happen in there that he had to sprint out of the cafe without taking two seconds to tell her in person?

Reluctantly, she lifts her head and peers across the table at one Ichika Sasaki. Ugh. In any other scenario, she would've loved the opportunity to meet that mysterious boss Yukki never shuts up about. But when he introduces her out of the blue and bails on their meetup... She just can't muster up her usual energy.

Still, it's not Sasaki's fault that her coworker is an idiot. The shocked glance they'd exchanged when Yukki introduced them to each other made that clear enough. Besides, she's sitting at attention and shooting such a perfect expression of polite interest at Nanami that she can't very well ignore her. "He left," she says. "'Something came up', apparently. Could it be work-related?"

Sasaki shakes her head. "I would know about it if it were." She pauses; her eyes flick to the side. "If I may..."

Nanami hunches her shoulders, immediately wary. "...Yeah?"

"Nimura is... prone to pulling stunts like this, in my experience. I would not be surprised if he escaped the situation on purpose."

Nanami bristles. She leans forward, a "how could you" ready in her throat, but then she remembers the forced corners of his smile when she protested that she had wanted to hang out with him alone. "He never used to do that," is what she settles for in the end. "I guess it's been a while."

"11 years, I was told," Sasaki agrees. They share a gloomy moment of silence before she continues. "If there's nothing else... I should be going. I'm sorry to have intruded on your get-together."

"Yeah, sure," Nanami mumbles. Her gaze had wandered back to the bathroom door, reducing Sasaki to a blur of activity in the corner of her vision. So much had changed. Sure, they hadn't seen each other in 11 years, but it was so easy to fall back into their old routines that she had almost forgotten that. It's... weird, not being the person who knows Yukki the best anymore.

Actually, that reminds her...

"Hold on," she blurts out. Sasaki stops, her chair halfway pushed in, and shoots her another perfect inquiring look. Boy, she's really good at that. "I did want to ask you a few things, actually, as long as you're here."

Sasaki considers this for a moment, then slides her chair back out and folds herself neatly into it. "Yes?"

Oh. Well, great, now she has to figure out how to phrase it. "You know Yukki pretty well, I'm assuming?"

"...One could say that. I've worked with him for several months." She sounds... cautious. Like there's a question embedded in her answer. Not a good sign.

"Has he, you know... said anything about me? On the job?"

Sasaki considers this. "He has expressed being excited to reconnect with his old friend. Other than that... I think you're well acquainted with the way he speaks. He brings you up from time to time, but rarely says anything of substance."

"Right. I was just... wondering. Since he's always talking about you when he's with me."

"Is that so."

Nanami bites her lip. Dammit, this kind of beating around the bush isn't her style. "Look, just... what's your relationship with him, exactly?"

Sasaki blinks. She looks away, then back. When she finally responds, there's an uncharacteristic note of amusement in her voice. "I see. This was supposed to be a date?"

Oh, god. She initiated this line of conversation, but it's still mortifying. Nanami groans and slumps forward. Fortunately, Sasaki doesn't draw the matter out; between her fingers, she can see the other woman lean forward and rest her chin on one hand, in stark contrast to her earlier stiff posture. "No, we're not romantically involved. I'm fairly certain he doesn't see me that way. Even if he asked, I wouldn't say yes - no judgement intended, of course."

She's going to die in this stupid overpriced cafe. "No, yeah, you're right... He can be kind of awful, can't he? This sucks."

"...He can be thoughtless, but I wouldn't go that far." Sasaki's voice is guarded again. She pauses, coughs. "If you're in need of advice..."

Nanami has to push her coffee out of the way so her head can properly hit the table. "Why not. Anything would help at this point."

"He's quite good at wriggling out of difficult situations, so there's no avoiding the direct confrontation, I'm afraid. You will have to corner him and ask the question directly."

"Yeah," Nanami sighs. "I know. I've always known."

It takes her a minute. But by the time she manages to peel herself off the table, she's recovered enough to plaster a grin back on her face. "Hah - sorry about that. Bit of a sore topic for me, I guess. Y'know, I like your style! If you're free anyway - mind telling me some embarrassing stories about Yukki? He's not being awful on purpose, you're right about that, but... I'm still going to need some ammo to get back at him for this."

Ichika grins. "Now that is a feeling I understand perfectly."
