While I do quite enjoy reading (and writing) fic for akayona, i genuinely don't do it very often. And even then, the majority of the fan content I consume is mostly kaya centric lol.

I’m a little different because I was born in the US, but I am still the child of two immigrants. I love the country my family is from, but I can’t truly claim it as mine without feeling like a liar. I also, however, can’t deny it, it’s where my family is from, (the majority of them still there) and it’s the land where my ancestors culture and roots are from. Case in point, it’s kind of a painful halfway point. Too ecuadorian for the US, and too American for Ecuador. It’s the reason I had a hard time (and still kind of do) making other Hispanic friends when most of them were born in their country. By technicality I still count as a gringa, and I would often be called out on it.

I think their relationship is so sweet, it's a lot to unpack, and there's definitely part of yoon that sees iksoo in zeno. I also think Zeno loves Yoon's curiosity, and is incredibly fond of the way he worries so much for the others, himself included. If you look through the manga, they do happen to be a recurring duo in a couple of panels. I think they both understand each other in being caretakers, and being percieved as guys who are physically weaker and need to be protected, but who won't stop short of pretty much anything to protect the others in their own way.

I also think Zeno sees himself in Yoon, when he was young and clueless and scrambling to keep up with Hiryuu and the og dragons 2,000 years ago. He'd definitely point out that Yoon is much smarter and has a lot more going for him than he did at his age, but while Yoon does absolutely fantastic, Zeno understands that the position isn't easy.
