A SIGN OF AFFECTION.

Because even if silence would rule her life without her aid, he fills it with sunshine and smiles.

ft. Yatonokami Kanata, Hajun Yeon, Ando Shiki, Kanbayashi Yokei x fem! reader.

cw/genre: fluff, very, very, mild angst.

Hello nonnie ! I’m so sorry this took so long to post… I know you requested it on my old blog, thank you for liking my aesthetic there <3 It’s late, but merry christmas to you as well, I hope this new year brings you lots of love, health and joy !

ଓ YATONOKAMI KANATA

— At first, he’s a little surprised.

— Why is it that your little sister stares up at him in wonder, of all people?

— She’s a lucky child, after all. She can live in a clean house and she has you as her older sister, so why does she seem so entranced by him?

— “This is my little sis, Kanata.” You introduce her, your hands on her shoulders. “She can’t hear by herself, but she uses these headphones, they’re magical, right little princess?” You tell your sister, bopping her nose.

— She giggles, while nodding enthusiastically.

— “Hmh! I can listen to my big sister’s boyfriend with these! Kanata’s music is the best!” She claims, happily.

— Your lover’s lavender gaze widens when he hears that.

— That exact phrase is what Nayuta always told him.

— A chuckle leaves his lips, as he pats the girl’s head (even if a little awkwardly).

— “So you like Cozmez that much?” Kanata asks your sister.

— She takes a few seconds to answer, the sound processing for her in her headset.

— “Mhm! Cozmez is the coolest! Kanata and Nayuta are the best! Also, is it true you can breakdance, onii-chan?”

— At that, Kanata blushes. Both at the question and at the term she used to refer to him.

— “I-uh… yeah.” He finally manages.

— You chuckle, taking your sister by the hand.

— “Hey, hey, Kanata is a little shy, alright, sweetheart? Give him a little time to warm up.” You explain.

— She nods, while your boyfriend’s blush intensifies. You’re so precious taking care of your sister, he almost can’t handle it. If you keep this up, he feels like his heart will burst with so much cuteness.

— From that day on, your younger sister starts wanting to hang out with you and Kanata every time you meet up with him.

— And so, your dates end up involving her in one way or another.

— Listening to Cozmez at Kanata’s apartment as she tries to dance to the beat of the songs; taking her to eat ice cream, ramen or cake at cute cafes; petting the neighborhood cats, or reading books to her.

— And to your boyfriend, these moments are worth so much.

— Taking care of her together, with her giggles and your soft laughter filling the air… It feels as if finally beams of rainbow are added into the sunshine you shed into his life.

— Kanata is also very protective of her.

— Because she thinks he’s so cool, your sister tends to follow Kanata around.

— And we all know how dangerous it can be for a little girl like her to wander alone around the slums.

— So your partner always makes sure to spot her right away, taking her by the hand and bringing her back home.

— She is safe, but she doesn’t escape your scolding, even if she hides behind Kanata.

ଓ HAJUN YEON

— Charms your little sister almost instantly.

— With his good looks and permanent smile, who could resist him, huh? (That is, before you know about his sadistic side /lh).

— “Big sister! You’re dating a prince!” She says, eyes sparkly and wide, bouncing on the balls of her feet.

— You and Hajun let out a laugh, amused at her innocent enthusiasm.

— “Does that mean you’re a princess, onee-san?” Your baby sister inquires. “And does that make me one too?”

— You give her a bright smile.

— “Of course you are a princess too, baby.” You say. “You have this magical crown that allows you to hear, do you not, sweetie? I think a fairy must be guarding you too.”

— Your boyfriend smiles. Not his usual fabricated grins, but a sincere one this time.

— “Your sister is right, young lady.” He adds, taking the girl’s hand in his. “You two are princesses, so it is my honor to finally meet my lover’s precious sister.”

— “Woah… You’re really a prince!” The girl in question cheers, enchanted by him and all the attention she’s getting.

— Thanks to her headphones, your sister can hear BAE’s songs, and of course, her bias is Hajun (she adores the whole trio though).

— Anne is like an older sibling to her as well, and Allen is like… uh, the silly uncle that’s really cool when singing.

— Whenever you and Hajun go out together on a date, your sister stays with the other two.

— Anne does her hair and dresses her up, while Allen plays music for her and they all dance together.

— It’s really precious, going back to Hajun’s apartment and finding laughter filling the space and the people you love having such a good time.

— However, because she’s enchanted with your lover, your sister has taken to following Hajun around sometimes.

— She peeks from behind the kitchen’s door, observing attentively while he cooks.

— “Hmm… I have the feeling someone’s watching…” Hajun announces, the little one’s giggles perfectly audible. “I wonder whether this princess would like to help me make dinner?”

— To what she emerges from her hiding spot, running to bury her face into Hajun’s apron.

— Unbeknownst to them, you were watching the scene with a dopey smile on your face.

— You go to wash your hands. You’ll join them in a minute.

ଓ ANDO SHIKI

— Now if someone is shocked to be thought of as cool, that is definitely Shiki.

— He’s been called gloomy before, and he doesn’t really have a very positive opinion about himself.

— So for your sister to admire him and look at him in wonder… That is certainly a new feeling.

— And at first, he can’t deny he’s scared. Because what if, once she gets to know him, she finds out he’s uncool or boring?

— Besides, someone whose hands are stained in blood due to the sin he’ll never forgive himself for… He doesn’t deserve that kindness.

— So at first, he runs away from this, like he’s been doing his whole life.

— You miss him.

— And your sister notices your boyfriend seems to avoid her, so she gets sad.

— “Is it because I need special headphones to hear?” She asks you one day, eyes teary. “Is that because Shiki can never meet with you, big sis?”

— “No, no, it’s nothing like that.” You hold her in your arms. “Shiki is very shy, so he has trouble making new friends, but I’m sure he'll be happy to meet you, once he calms down. He gets nervous easily, you know? Give him a little bit more time.” You tell your younger sister, squatting to be eye level with her, as you wrap her in a hug.

— “Tell you what, why don’t we drop by Shiki’s workplace while he’s there? I’ll introduce you. You’re a fan of his group, after all.”

— And so, that’s exactly what you do.

— You are aware a bar is not the most suitable place for a kid, but you trust all the guys there. They take good care of Shiki, after all.

— The little girl hides behind you as you greet everyone. And, somehow, Ryuu’s the one to bring her out of her shell.

— “Wow wow! You have very cool headphones! Ryuu wants a pair too! Aaw mini [Y/n]-chan is so cute!”

— “I use these to hear!” She giggles at the funny faces TCW’s peculiar member makes. “I love The Cat’s Whiskers! Shiki is my favorite!” She says, waving her hands.

— Your partner lets out a strangled yelp, almost dropping a glass he was drying.

— “Come on, Shiki.” You invite him, softly, with a tender smile on your face. “She’s really looking forward to meeting you, you know.”

— “H-hello, there.” He greets her, awkwardly rising a hand for her to high five.

— She does so, with a “Yay! I’m a fan of Shiki!”

— The latter lets out a laugh; a precious sound few got to hear, the rays towards which sunflowers turn.

— Maybe it was alright, that she thinks he’s worth meeting.

ଓ KANBAYASHI YOHEI

— Flustered at first, but then he softens up and is actually one of the most caring.

— Your sister is a little shy around him at first, despite her admiration for him.

— She’s seen him on tv, and, thanks to her prescription headphones, she’s heard his vocals on stage. She really thinks he’s so cool… But Yohei looks so serious…

— “Onee-san, is your boyfriend angry?” She asks, tugging on your clothes.

— “Wha-“ Bar 7/4’s master utters, amber eyes widening in shock.

— Saimon lets out a chuckle from behind the counter.

“Yohei, I think you should drop that frown a little.” He tells his junior, good naturedly.

— The latter sighs.

— “Hello there, little one.” Your lover greets the girl, as he crouches down to her level. “Would you like to listen to some music?”

— She nods vigorously, her small fists clenched in front of her in anticipation.

— Yohei rewards her with a smile. Then he sits at the bar’s piano.

— As his deft fingers slide over the keys, a sweet melody fills the space, your sister holding her breath as she listens intently.

— Then, she walks towards the piano, watching closer how this mesmerizing melody is brought to life.

— Your partner stops playing momentarily, offering her a kind smile.

— “You want to try too?” He asks her.

— “Yes!” She affirms, as her little hands hover over the keys.

— The bar’s master helps her sit on the bench, as he gently places her fingers over the keys.

— “Here, don’t be afraid. Try here, press it softly. Yes, that’s good!” He compliments her, as a note echoes through the room.

— As you watch the scene, you can imagine the three of you in a spacious apartment, sitting in front of a piano; sunlight streams through the windows, almost like lines of a music score you’re writing in this idyllic moment.

— Despite the cold, the warmth of your lover and your sister by your side keeps you comforted, the sunny melody, a caress for your heart.

hellaur i love u sm . . . 2 4 5 10 w yohei please

Yohei Kanbayashi:

2. ♥ When they have a crush on someone, how do they let them know?

Hesitantly, and indirectly. Yohei is the type to not be able to spit his feelings out; he may wax poetic in his mind when it comes to your beauty and the joy you’ve introduced back into his life, but the words never leave his mouth as eloquently. He even hits you with a ‘we need to talk’ which caused an anxious energy that made it even more awkward to confess, but he couldn’t back down now that he’s got you on the edge of your seat like that.

4. ♥ Do they spend a lot of time in the courting stage or attempt to get to first base as fast as possible?

Yohei is not one to rush, not a romantic relationship, anyway. He doesn’t want to rush in impulsively and find that he’s not a suitable partner for you so he requested you both take it slow. He’ll pick you up at your house, take you out for a night on the town, and end with a sweet kiss that leaves you wondering how he can resist you so easily. It’s not easy, but knowing it was your happiness on the line if he couldn’t deliver the proper boyfriend experience, he held himself back until he felt ready to move to the next steps.

5. ♥ Do they wait to be intimate until after marriage or break all the social rules?

Sleeping with Yohei is not a quick process, but it certainly happens before marriage. After you’ve been dating a few months he’s comfortable enough to consider you his person, his forever, as it took a lot of soul searching and effort to reach this level of stability in your relationship. He’ll move at your pace once he’s comfortable, capable of waiting if he has to, even if it kills him.

10. ♥ Do they include their partners in most aspects of their life?

You are a regular at Bar 4/7 whether you’re a drinker or not. Shiki and Ryu both enjoy getting to talk to you, as does Saimon, and Yohei just enjoyed when you were around. You didn’t have to come see him perform but he did feel a sense of pride when he saw you cheering for him in the crowd. He’s wary about letting you in at first because interweaving you so thoroughly into his life meant it would hurt worse should you leave him, but at this point, he won’t let you go without a fight.

[number-one-hiphop-tribe]

team autumn — your pictionary video was HILARIOUS. are you excited to sing your song together?

Saimon: "It was quite energetic, wasn't it? Everyone else seemed like they had lots of fun - at the very least, I did - so I would say it we did a good job. I look forward to the day we get together again and record, hopefully it won't be as chaotic."

Yohei: "You better not be laughing at my panda drawing. Damn mouse...whatever. I'll just rap and get it over with."

Inukai: "Thank you very much, we did our very best to entertain our fans! I am very much looking forward to working with everyone, I'm sure it'll be a very interesting experience!"

Hajun: "i'd agree, the incorrect guesses were certainly amusing...i can say i'm fairly excited for you all to hear our finished product."

Kei: "I hope you enjoyed it. Were you able to guess what my drawing was? I'm looking forward to singing with new people, and with Aoi."

Aoi: "It was pretty entertaining, wasn't it? It was lots of fun! I'm so excited to sing with all these different personalities, and even with Kei again..."

Dongha: "Hilarious for what reason? If I must sing with this group, then I will. There is no excitement involved."

[hebimoonlightwrites]

Hi Hebi!! I hope you're doing great, love your writings <3 Can I request hcs for Saimon, Yohei and Zen finding out that their s/o is pregnant?

Writer's corner: Hey, sweetheart! Of course, darling! Here's some headcanons for our dear fathers! Hehe~ Thank you for requesting! Please, let me know if there's something you want me to fix or change! Enjoy~♥

mc's pronouns: SHE/HER (I'm writing using she/her as mc's pronouns, but, please, let me know if you wanted something GN! So I can immediately change pronouns in order not to offend or make anyone uncomfortable!♥ *hugs*)

Warnins: sfw

⭐𝐒𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐧, 𝐘𝐨𝐡𝐞𝐢, 𝐙𝐞𝐧⭐𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐬/𝐨 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐧𝐚��𝐭

⭐"Wha--What?..."

⭐It's already said that Naoakira is easily moved to tears!

⭐So I headcanon that he would start crying immediately after hearing from his sweet mc that she's pregnant!

⭐I mean.. he's going to be a father!

⭐Saimon would surely start crying and sobbing so much that mc would have to comfort him, maybe patting his head or caressing his cheeks

⭐"I'm.. ..I'll.. I'll be a father... I'll..."

⭐During mc's pregnancy, Saimon would be so sweet and gentle!

⭐He'd bring flowers and gifts to mc each time he finishes working!

⭐I can also see him being so proud of becoming a father that he would tell anyone, even his students!

⭐His students too would notice a slight change in his behaviour, as he couldn't wait to finally hold his child between his arms

⭐And guess what?

⭐Yes, he would cry and sob a lot while doing it too!

⭐100% sure he'd be that husband always checking on mc's health, constatly asking if she's okay or if she needs anything in particular

⭐And I'm also sure he would be that kind and sweet waking up at night if mc has some sort of pregnancy cravings!

⭐"Tell me, my love.. ..huh? You want a sandwich..? Now?.. It's almost 4:00 am, love... ...Alright. I'll make you one!"

⭐Saimon would also be the one helping mc if she's vomiting or has nausea

⭐He'd let her lay down on his chest and then would softly massage her belly sweetly smiling

⭐Saimon is such a great cook, so I think he would also prepare mc's favourite dishes all the time!

⭐He would act a little bit more childishly in my opinion (but it'd be wholesome), especially while trying to speak to his son/daughter who's still inside mc's belly ..

⭐After the birth, though, I'm sure Naoakira would be one of the best dad ever!

⭐He'd be the one teaching his child how to read or write and also try his best to educate them to respect everyone!

⭐"Mc... My love.. can I hold them..? Just for a few seconds.. pleaseee.."

⭐"You're... pregnant?.."

⭐Yohei's eyes would look wider, while he would step on his cigarette.

⭐mc could see a slight but evident blush on his face while he would approach her and wrap his arms around her figure

⭐He'd be careful while hugging her, though!

⭐He doesn't want to hurt her or the baby, after all!

⭐Yohei would close his eyes in the hug and, while embracing mc, he would even cry softly

⭐Mc would notice it, but I'm sure he wouldn't admit that he's crying, even if it's wholesome!

⭐"I... I can't believe we'll... we'll have a child... mc, my love.. I'm.. I'm so happy!"

⭐During his dear mc's pregnancy, Yohei would get even more protective!

⭐Since he's already a kind of mother figure to both Shiki and Ryu...

⭐I can see him constantly saying to mc not to tire, or telling her that he's the one who's going to do something in her place!

⭐He'd take care of everything while forcing mc not to move and to relax and sleep

⭐Yohei would love to cuddle her by softly and carefully putting his head on her belly

⭐I'm even 100% he would whisper something very wholesome to their child, like:

⭐"Mum and dad are waiting for you, my love..."

⭐Especially, though, while mc is sleeping

⭐Since Yohei has his cold look, I can picture him being cute only when nobody can see him

⭐I think he wouldn't be ashamed to show his cute self to mc, but...

⭐I guess he would prefer to keep some more wholesome things to himself!

⭐Yohei would be that kind of father constantly holding his son/daughter..

⭐And when I say "constantly"... I literally mean it!

⭐He would bring them to Bar 4/7 only to wear a baby carrier and keep them there on his chest while making drinks to customers!

⭐And when someone compliments him for having such a cute and adorable child, Yohei would answer with:

⭐"I know right!.. They're my dear mc and my child, after all, y'know?!"

⭐"Pregnant...? This means that.... that we....!!!"

⭐Zen would immediately stop his trainings only to look at mc with a surprised look

⭐His cheeks would be blushed not only due to his trainings but also to the shock of the news

⭐He would soon start jumping happily and then hug mc, holding her and twirling around like in a Disney movie

⭐His happy chuckle would be followed by mc's one as soon as possible, while some tears of happiness would let their eyes..

⭐Zen would be so happy that he would immediately run to the other AKYR

⭐"G-guys!! I'll be a father soon!! I'll be a father!! Mc is pregnant!! My sweet wife is pregnant!!"

⭐During mc's pregnancy, Zen would take care of her as much as he can!

⭐He would help her if she's nausea or even covering her in a blanket when she wants to take a nap

⭐Zen looks like that kind of man who would proudly tell anyone that he's going to become a father soon!

⭐Like.. he would repeat it even to the other AKYR!

⭐"Huh? I have already told you?... R-really?.."

⭐He would train while thinking and imagining about himself and his dear son/daughter training together!

⭐I'm sure that Zen would protect his child so much!

⭐But if someone tries to hurt them, Zen wouldn't hesitate to protect them

⭐"Don't you dare to touch my sweet child! Or you'll pay for it!"

⭐But he would also teach them how to defend themselves, so they won't need help next time someone tries to hurt them!

⭐Since he is already a kind of parental figure to AKYR (the fandom sees him as the mum, lol), well..

⭐Zen wouldn't have problems getting used to be a dad!

⭐I can see him struggling with only chaning his son/daughter's diaper, because I think he has never done it before!

⭐But he would be the best father, telling his child about stories, since it's said that Zen was born in a Rakugo family!

⭐And I think he would also teach them important values as well!

⭐"I.. I can't wait to hug them into my arms, mc!!.. I.. I love you! And I love them already!"

[paraliveimaginesblog]

number 50 for the types of kisses with yohei, please?

Yohei Kanbayashi:

50. A kiss, followed by more that trail down the jaw and neck.

Yohei was simply irresistible.

He had been hard at work scrubbing the bar floor after another one of Ryu’s experiments had gone wrong, trying to get the traces of green alien goo that had seeped into every crack or imperfection in the floor. You had helped by wiping the bar down from the splash damage but were quickly distracted from your task when Yohei tied his hair back, rolling up his sleeves as he entered into his aggressive cleaning mode. It was hard not to stare, the muscles in his arms flexing with each stroke, sweat sliding down his neck as he took out his frustrations on the grime coating the floor. It was dangerous to interrupt when he was focused, likely to get taken out by a mop handle if you weren’t careful, but you couldn’t resist.

“Oh, come look at this!” You beckoned him over with a siren call, Yohei looking over at you with a raised eyebrow and an overall puzzled look. He set the mop aside, surveying the bar for any damage that you might’ve found.

Yet it was simply a ruse to get him closer.

He grumbled when you threw your arms around him and asked for a kiss, already going back to his previous task after making you chase his lips for your request. You refused to be deterred by his workaholic attitude, knowing you alone were the honored one with the knowledge of Yohei’s weaknesses stored in your brain vault for desperate times such as these.

Yohei gave a warning when your lips first brushed against your neck, golden eyes glaring daggers at you but you could see it was working. You had to make quick work as if his brain had any time to get the blood back in it, you were done for, doomed to scrubbing the bar again with no special treats until Yohei had conquered the floor. He huffed as you kissed his neck again, leaving a trail up his neck to his jaw, kissing the mole right under his mouth before pulling away to see if you had won the war.

You’re glad you at least wiped the visible part of the bar as you’re hoisted up by a frustrated Yohei, who settled himself comfortably between your legs and crushed his lips against yours. You’d certainly never beaten him in the passion path, each kiss stealing more and more of your breath, your boyfriend relentless when it came to proving a point. Exploiting his weakness meant dealing with a different kind of Yohei, one whose brain was so addled with pleasure and want that he might not be thinking clearly.

At least you had distracted him from cleaning for the moment.

[number-one-hiphop-tribe]

Hi Kanbayashi!! I’m here for my free daily hot chocolate!

What the fuck. This is a fucking bar, we don't have fucking hot chocolate.

[localannoyance]

Paralive HC Requests (Yohei and Saimon)

I did some flower prompts from this list for Yohei and Saimon from Paralive as requested by a friend. This is my first time doing this and thought to share it. Personally, I see them as platonic best friends but feel free to take it however you want. Keep in mind I haven't caught up with all the tracks and content yet so if I make a canon error, let me know along with source so I can catch up.

It's been only a few months down this rabbit hole.

Alstroemeria - going to an event that the other person is interested in just to see them happy

Saimon Naokira

Saimon and Yohei are very close, having known him for years. Even still, there are aspects of Yohei's life that Saimon rarely touches simply because he's too busy with his own life; managing being a professor, a rapper and a bar owner is a lot. Not to mention the kids!

Although, it's much easier now than it was back then, back when Yohei was still an alleycat

I can see Saimon accompanying Yohei to an appliance exhibition sale as Yohei browses replacements for some of Bar 4/7's older tech (because Saimon definitely is too much of a sucker for nostalgia to want to replace anything as long as it works, so Yohei does it and needs his help bringing everything back)

…Or so he says, but Saimon can easily tell from the way he unconsciously smiles that Yohei is having a lot of fun imagining all the new ways he could make cocktails and food at the bar with the appliances

Saimon would listen intently while off to the side as Yohei pestered the salesperson with questions and specifications, such as if parts are replaceable; warranty dates; how much electricity it would take— all showing his care in wanting to keep costs to a minimum for Saimon's sake too

It was amusing for Saimon to point out when Yohei was accidentally scaring the person with how "enthusiastic" he was, earning a grunt with a hint of a smile

Other than interrupting sometimes for some questions and to put the other person more at ease, Saimon is happy to just be there and watch Yohei's passion show itself again; a worn photograph of the younger punk which had only mellowed and refined itself with age

At the end of the day, Saimon and Yohei return back to Bar 4/7 to unload everything, and he hums along to Yohei's ramblings on what he wants to set up first

Yohei Kanbayashi

Similar to above, they've known each other for a while now. However, with Yohei's business, he is too focused on his own things to really dabble in Saimon's work, despite caring for the other man a lot

…that, and I can imagine there are still some feelings he can't shake about being very involved in areas he feels undeserving in

An example would be the graduation of some of Saimon's students. As someone who didn't pursue further education, being there feels weird, but he'd go if Saimon asks him to

He doesn't quite feel enthusiastic about sitting/standing and watching a ceremony for a few hours straight, probably immediately calling a smoke break the second any sort of intermission is announced

Still, he has enough respect for the hard work each student has put in to graduate, so he watches everything in the ceremony, from clapping whenever a graduate receives their certificate to any shows the students put on

Though, he's mostly watching Saimon's reaction and following along, since he just wants to make him happy

Seeing how Saimon swells with pride over every student "growing up and spreading their wings and visions to new horizon" —Saimon's words, not his— does make Yohei feel kinda happy for these students too, oddly

That weird feeling of being moved seeing someone he holds in high regard be so moved

Yohei slides Saimon some tissues whenever he seems to tear up, looking away to give Saimon a private place to cry on his shoulder a little

He excuses himself sometimes when a parent comes to talk to Saimon, feeling a little awkward, but most time he lingers in the background to listen and (try to) encourage the student in their future

"Yohei, would you like to say something?" "Hah? Uh… just do what you want kid, and put your all in what you believe. —that good?" "Excellent words Yohei."

At the end of the graduation ceremony, he had to drag Saimon away before it got too late for both of them to open the bar for the night.

Dandelion - finally hearing the other person laugh after a period of hardship

Saimon Naokira

Yohei has probably been more restless and irritable in recent weeks, signaling to Saimon that something was wrong

Yohei tends to keep all his emotions bottled up and suppressed, though in his attempts to keep them hidden, becomes rather obvious

Saimon would pry, if he knew that Yohei wouldn't just shut himself off more if he tried. So, Saimon simply waits for Yohei to approach him

Saimon tries to help out around the bar more to ease Yohei's burdens since it could be anything really setting him off, and he knows that despite him not saying anything, Yohei sees his concern and is appreciative

Finally, Yohei approached Saimon of his own accord, and they talk and help Yohei through his troubles

Finally, Yohei takes a whiff of his cigarette and lets his shoulders relax just a little bit more, the invisible walls he put up whenever going through hardships falling, and with that a smile finally spreads across his features. Saimon smiles too, before giving Yohei a firm pat and shake on his shoulder

"Glad to see you feeling better, Yohei. You don't smile enough as is."

Another chuckle masked with a scoff comes from Yohei

Yohei Kanbanyashi

It was very unusual to see Saimon without a smile on his face, the dapper gentleman always having that calming aura and smile on his face for his students and the world to see

Even when he went through unimaginable pain, the gentleman never really left his smile behind

So this must've been really serious, Yohei surmised. Despite his nature, he picks up on small cues like these really well, especially with a longtime friend

Yohei gives Saimon some space but watches carefully whenever he can. Is Saimon eating well? Bring him food. Does he need coffee for his work? Prepare some for him.

However, Yohei would be a lot more proactive in asking Saimon what was wrong and trying his best to help

Yohei makes more wise cracks to Saimon, and whenever the older man seemed to be swimming in his thoughts, he'd nudge him by interrupting

When the source of Saimon's stress has been dealt with (with or without Yohei's intervention), or if he manages to laugh at one of Yohei's jokes, Yohei would chuckle back

"Now there's the smile our handsome bar owner was missing. I ain't gonna smile much, so you have to do it for both of us. Do it for the bar."

Saimon rolls his eyes with a hearty chuckle
