    Just another slow day of attending the shop. Sakamoto and the rest were out for the day leaving him alone in the shop.

    It was a slow, hot day in Japan as Heisuke kicked back behind the receptionist counter idly flipping through a magazine with Piisuke resting on his shoulder. A fan was humming close to him emitting a cool breeze.

    Even as he tried to distract himself with the magazine he couldn’t stop thinking about one single thing, you. It started a few months ago when he was working with Shin at the shop.

    You had walked in hoping to find some snacks to buy and were greeted with a flustered Heisuke. When he saw you walk it he felt like an arrow had been shot through his heart.

    He really tried his best to act calm and normal, but instead he came off as silly.

    He couldn't help it, when he saw you walk in he could’ve sworn it was love at first sight. Something about you caught his attention.

    He didn't know what but whatever it was had him in a trance. He was so flustered that he felt like he had made a fool of himself making Heisuke be sulky for the rest of the day.

    Ever since then you had become a regular customer who usually bought snacks. Each time Heisuke tried to always be working at the same time you visited the shop. It was a bit difficult working around the same time you came in.

    You really didn't have a specific pattern when you came to the shop. Sometimes you would come within 3 days or 2 weeks. By now he had become less nervous.

    Heisuke was always friendly and tried to impress you (which didn’t often end well) resulting in making himself look dumb but always drawing a laugh from you. A laugh he had grown to love hearing ever since then.

    Back to the matter at hand, it had been an entire month since he’d last seen you and he couldn’t help but miss you.

    You’d usually be back within a couple of days but never months so it made Heisuke upset. Heisuke sighed, put the magazine down, and accepted that he probably wouldn’t see you today.

    That's when he heard someone come in. You.
