Caswen but they’re in the pining stage, and they keep on spending time together because their respective favorite people (red and ashlyn) are dating. Outings sort of become unofficial double dates
wait shut up i love this.
big red and ash would plan to get lunch and then invite their resident sad sacks to stop them just aimlessly existing all weekend. ricky and ej would end up getting squeezed into the same side of a tiny booth, thighs pressed together and all ricky would be able to think is that ej’s cologne smells a lot nicer than throb. at one point ricky would get up to use the restroom and when he comes back ej’s thrown an arm over the back of the seat, probably not in any intentional way, but when ricky sits down again he can feel the warm line of it against his neck.
they all go mini golfing because ashlyn says it’s better with four. ricky has no idea where she got that from because they end up splitting into two’s anyway; big red and ash spending more time making goo goo eyes at each other than actually playing, ej and ricky spending more time getting heated over points and trying to speedrun the course. at the windmill, ej scoffs at ricky’s stance and ricky levels him with a look.
“you know i play like, real golf, right?” ej tells him, raising an eyebrow.
“of course you do,” ricky says witheringly and thrills at ej’s briefly affronted look.
“look, just–” ej starts and then ricky feels hands curling around his hips, tilting him a little straighter. “there you go,” ej murmurs, his voice all low and kind of rumbly, like a rolling engine. ricky keeps his eyes on the stupid rotating windmill and swallows, throat dry. ej’s hands slip away and ricky takes the shot, the little white ball rolling evenly and perfectly into the hole. there’s a brief moment of silence.
“that was a coincidence,” ricky says quickly, but when he spins around ej’s already grinning.
“you’re welcome, bowen,” ej tosses over his shoulder as he wanders over to the next hole.
ricky ends up winning and he’s incredibly suspicious about it. even ashlyn seems surprised.
“you lost,” she tells ej, like he needs to hear it. he probably does.
“yeah,” ej says, handing over their putters to the guy at the register.
ashlyn squints at him. “you lost,” she says again, “at golf.”
apparently this is exceptionally meaningful as ashlyn and ej then proceed to stare each other down for a solid ten seconds. “yeah,” ej says again and this time ashlyn hums, glancing at ricky in a way that has him feeling a little like he’s under a microscope.
in my mind they go on several of these not-dates until one day ash and big red just don’t turn up to lunch and ej doesn’t seem surprised in the slightest. because ricky isn’t stupid he says, “you just gonna keep tricking me into dates?”
ej smiles, slow. “i don’t know,” ej says, leaning forward to steal one of ricky’s fries. “do i have to keep pretending to lose at things?”
ricky kicks him under the table but lets ej hold his hand on top of it.
Hello, I'm Lama from Gaza. As you know, we lost everything we owned...our house, our work, our car, and members of my family, and we are trying to survive. 💔😭

‼️Hello everyone ‼️
I am really in a very bad situation, but I am here asking for help. Please do not turn me away. Here is a new donation link. I have prepared it again because my old link was closed by the program and half of the donations went to their owners again.
My husband never works and we buy all our supplies for me and my young children from this link which has been closed😔💔
Speaking of opening the Rafah land crossing, I want to collect the amount that I can use to secure my family and children to leave Gaza to safety because the Israeli army has no safety again. I ask you to help us. Donate any amount. Everything you donate is for my children and their future.
Thank you all for continuing to read and I hope you donate 🙏❤️
Tonight, I was walking alone, with no one to accompany me but the night and its silent moon.
The trees were still, as if they had lost the ability to move, but the scent of flowers and soft buds beginning to bloom with the approach of spring mingled with the scent of the soil, unlike any other scent in this world, as if the earth were whispering to life to rise again.
The road was long, but I didn't feel bored. I wanted to walk endlessly, as if I were escaping something I didn't know, or perhaps searching for something I hadn't yet found. The moon kept me company in my solitude, silently watching me, speaking to me without words.
But I forgot about it and ignored it for a moment, and played Mabel Matiz's "Samanyolu." Its melodies seeped deep within me, shattering something inside me, stealing me from myself.
I almost cried, but I didn't.
At that moment, my memories flowed like an endless waterfall.
I saw my childhood in all its beautiful details, remembering days that were warmer and clearer.
I suddenly realized that life is a moment, and that its train moves on without waiting for anyone.
I also realized that I was in Gaza, my sad city,
where I had never enjoyed a single day in my youth, where dreams are extinguished before they light up, and where sadness has become a silent, incessant companion.
I felt I was finished, but I wasn't completely.
My tears finally flowed. I felt the mist covering my eyes, and I saw the glowing threads of moonlight like a flute playing a sad tune in the sky.
But amidst all that sadness, there was something beautiful, something I couldn't explain, as if my soul had found a rare moment of honesty.
It was something captivating.
Now, I'm fine,
just enough.
Spur of the moment writings, as usual, I called them...
"Nobody but Me and the Moon"
