So I Had This Dumb Conversation With An Acquaintance Of Mine:

What do we think

Catastrophic hunger is sweeping across Gaza.

Over 2.2 million people are facing acute food insecurity, with nearly half a million experiencing famine-like conditions (IPC Phase 5). The latest IPC report warns that 93% of Gaza’s population is now in crisis or worse. Entire communities are starving.

71,000 children are expected to suffer from acute malnutrition. Mothers can’t feed their babies. As Kate Phillips-Barrasso from Mercy Corps put it:

“This catastrophe did not unfold in the dark; it happened in plain sight. Gaza’s food system has collapsed, humanitarian operations are paralyzed, and people are starving.”

Since March 25, Israel’s blockade has cut off all food and aid. Over 80% of farmland is gone or unreachable. Gaza is being pushed into famine — and the world is watching.

12:05

“You’re terrible,” you whisper, biting back another laugh as Rafayel’s shoulders shake with silent amusement.

His short lavender hair falls over his eyes as he tries to steady his hand, but the grin tugging at his lips makes it impossible. “You started it,” he murmurs, barely holding in a chuckle. “How am I supposed to concentrate when you’re saying things like that?”

He adjusts his grip on the henna cone, eyes narrowing slightly in concentration. You can see the faint crease between his brows, the same one he gets when he’s lost in a painting. His fingers, still smudged with traces of dried paint from earlier, are steady despite the occasional tremor of suppressed laughter.

“You know,” you say, watching him work, “we could’ve just looked at Pinterest.”

Rafayel scoffs, shaking his head as he continues drawing. “Absolutely not,” he says, like the mere suggestion offends him. “I don’t need some—what is it? Aesthetic inspo board? I have this.” He gestures vaguely at his temple with the tip of the henna cone.

You snort. “Right. Your genius artistic vision.”

“Exactly,” he says smugly. “Now hold still, or I’ll ruin my masterpiece.”

You bite your lip, trying to suppress another laugh as he leans in, adding delicate swirls along your fingers. The scent of henna fills the space between you, earthy and rich. His touch is light, almost careful, and despite his stubborn refusal to follow a guide, the pattern is undeniably beautiful.

Swirls of waves and roses adorned your palm, wrist, fingers, and the back of your hand, delicate and intricate despite his stubborn insistence on freestyling. You turn your hand slightly, admiring the way the deep brown henna contrasts against your skin. Rafayel studies it too, his eyes tracing over every detail before landing on the small signature he had tucked into the curve of a wave—subtle but unmistakably his.

It’s quiet.

And then.

“You’re really pretty, you know.”

His voice is soft, almost casual, but you catch the way his ears turn pink, betraying him. He’s still looking at your hand, but there’s something nervous in the way his fingers twitch, as if debating whether to pull away or linger just a second longer.

Your heartbeat stumbles. The playful teasing from earlier suddenly feels like a thin veil over something heavier, something unspoken between you.

“Are you blushing?” you ask, leaning in just enough to make his eyes snap up to yours.

Rafayel huffs, rolling his eyes, but the pink on his ears deepens. “Shut up. And quit moving. You'll mess it up.” "You're a fast learner."

Your free hand moves his hair out of his face.

And he doesn’t pull away.

Another favourite romance troupe of mine is “calm boyfriend x hyper girlfriend” aka Zayne and MC. Even if canon MC was an inteovert: with 2 introverts 1 will be a bit more hyper hehe
