Counterclockwise · Rewrite the Stars

Due to the excessive consumption of magic power and the heavy memory suddenly unlocked, Kudo fell into a deep sleep again within a moment.This time, I don't know if it was because he realized that Kuroba was by his side, all the nightmares did not bother him anymore, allowing him to enjoy a peaceful and dreamless sleep.

Hei Yu sat on the chair next to the young man's bed, and fell asleep beside the other party's hand after a while, one hand was still tightly holding the young man's slender hand, for fear that the other party would disappear if he let go.

They all had a long enough night.

After Edogawa Conan was inspected by the White Horse Detective from beginning to end, and he could leave after confirming that he was correct, the sun was already setting.They returned to Heiyu's house through the Floo network, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.Kudo let go of the hand holding Kuroba's arm, and stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say.

Has Kuroba found out?He remembered that before he fell into a coma, he dropped Kudo Shinichi's wand that should not have been there, and dropped it on the ground. He thought that the person who saved him was Kaito Kuroba, but he must have seen his wand. It is impossible to be so indifferent and show no performance at all.

So there really isn't one, right?

Will he be angry then?

He clearly promised him that he would not run around but still acted without authorization. Even if he was just an ordinary student temporarily living in the other party, he still had reason to be angry.Forget it, during the past two weeks of staying at the other party's house, he has really caused the other party a lot of trouble.With a temper like Hei Yu's, he was able to tolerate him living in his own home, completely different from the impression he had.Although it's a bit hard to say, but could it be because I had a preconceived notion before that I thought...

And last night at St. Mungo's, he'd hit such an emotional moment, what if he'd asked?

Damn it, why bother so much, just tell him frankly, Kuroba doesn't seem like a person who can talk everywhere.

But after confessing, based on their bad relationship before, maybe they will just drive themselves away.

...Then, forget it.

Kudo admitted that after discovering his feelings for Kuroba, he realized how greedy he was for all the tender and beautiful memories brought to him by the other party, and he still selfishly wanted to stay with the other party in such a clean and pure identity by his side—not the enemy who has been entangled with each other for decades.

However, Kuroba didn't seem to realize Kudo's entanglement, just said "Are you hungry? I'll make something to eat" and flashed into the kitchen, leaving Kudo standing there alone.

--what?

He was a little dazed for a moment, staring blankly at the back of the man who skillfully lit the fire and used the stove in the kitchen.The house-elf consciously appeared by his side to help, but because of the presence of Kuroba, there was an ordinary and warm atmosphere of fireworks in the kitchen. The muffled sound of the blade falling on the chopping board made Kudo feel pleasant. From time to time, he opened his mouth to tell the elf to do some trivial things, and he was a little fascinated by watching it for a while.The other party even turned around quickly during the interval between cooking and cooking, and showed a smiling face to Kudo, saying, "Why are you standing, sit and wait, it will take a while."

"... Oh, good." He responded, pulled the chair of the dining table and sat down, propped his chin and looked at the busy figure of the man, his mind was even more confused.

He used to think that he knew Kaito Kuroba very well, but he didn't realize until today that his understanding of this person was just the tip of the iceberg.While rejoicing that he was able to get to know Kaito Kuroba again through the identity of a stranger like Edogawa Conan, he was also a little bit disappointed.

In contrast, Kuroba Kaito's attitude towards Kudo Shinichi can be regarded as super bad, from the teasing and pranks at Hogwarts, to when he became an Auror, he confronted himself everywhere——

Does he really hate Kudo Shinichi that much?

He lowered his eyes, feeling a little sour in his heart, and secretly decided that he must hide his identity better.

At least Kuroba is good for Edogawa Conan.Kudo thought bitterly.

He stared at Heiyu's back, suddenly his heart moved, and while Heiyu was not paying attention, he sneaked back to his room, quickly wrote a letter and put it in the place where the letter was carried by his owl, watching the snow-white shadow fluttering Disappeared into the night, and then hurriedly packed up his things and returned downstairs.

"What are you doing?" Hei Yu asked with raised eyebrows as he came out of the kitchen with a plate of roast goose overflowing with aroma.A few candles were already lit on the table, and the entire dining room was enveloped in warm dim yellow candlelight.Kuroba placed the roast goose in the center of the dining table, with smoked ham, creamy mashed potatoes, cheese bacon rolls and a pot of hot corn soup on the side.

Kudo looked at the table of food in amazement, and couldn't believe that it was all made by Kuroba.It took him a moment to remember that he hadn't answered the question: "Write a letter."

Hei Yu snorted twice, and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he raised his chin at the corner of the restaurant and said, "If you're so boring, let's go and decorate the following Christmas tree."

"...?" Kudo followed his gesture and looked, and a Norway spruce was placed in the corner that was empty just now.Hei Yu smiled narrowly, waved his hand grandly, said "Come on" and slipped back to the kitchen.

For the sake of the other party cooking a Christmas dinner.

Kudo took out his wand resignedly, and decorated the Christmas tree while sighing, but there was a slight sweetness in his heart.

You're screwed, Kudo Shinichi, you're even enjoying this kind of thing.

Kudo spurned himself, but the movements of his hands did not stop in the slightest. He tried his best to decorate this deadly Christmas tree into the most gaudy Christmas tree that has never been seen before or since.

When Kuroba finally finished the last few dishes and brought out the plate with the house-elf, what caught his eye was a golden table full of colorful lights, decorated with all kinds of exaggerated bells and glittering. The silver ball, and Edogawa Conan who sat at the table and gave him a pure smile.

"...Wow." Hei Yu said expressionlessly, "It's so beautiful."

Kudo pretended not to hear the capitalized and bold sarcasm in his tone, and nodded in agreement: "I think so too."

"..."

Did he really not hear it or did he pretend not to hear it?

He put the pudding on the table full of special Christmas meals, and sat down opposite Edogawa reluctantly.

"I hope you don't dislike my craftsmanship, Mr. Edogawa." Kuroba raised his glass, which slowly filled with dark red wine, and smiled with his lips bent.

Kudo's heart was pounding because of the warm smile set off by the candlelight. He lowered his head to hide his expression, and raised the glass in front of him: "It's an honor, Professor Kuroba."

Then his glass was silently filled with a glass of milk.

"..." Edogawa stared at his cup, speechless for a while.Kuroba had already taken a sip of the red wine and began to laugh, the dancing light sank in his smiling blue eyes, Kudo couldn't bear to look away after seeing it.

"Hurry up, boy." Kuroba said with a low smile, the word "boy" seemed inexplicably ambiguous, and Kudo couldn't help but blush.He muttered and cursed a few words, and then reluctantly took a sip in the sight of the other party.

The color makes the mind faint, and the color sinks because of the wisdom.Kudo thought to himself. ...I didn't expect him to fall on this.

After enjoying the luxurious Christmas dinner prepared by Kaito Kuroba himself, they sighed contentedly at the same time, and then smiled at each other.

Kudo stood up, and the chair scratched across the wooden floor.He rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile, "I'll clean it up, thank you chef."

Kuroba wanted to stand up to help, but was shocked by Kudo's warning eyes.He had no choice but to spread his hands and said, "All right, come here, come here."

Kudo stacked all the dishes with a floating spell and placed them in the kitchen sink.Then he had to step on the little stool that the elf kindly brought for him, and began to clean the dishes.

Hei Yu walked slowly to the door of the kitchen, leaned against the door, folded his arms and looked at the busy figure of the little wizard.

Amidst the rustling of water and the crisp sound of colliding porcelain bowls, he suddenly heard the little wizard say without turning his head: "...Sorry."

He blinked, suspecting that he was hallucinating.

The opponent's shoulders drooped a little, and the black hair swept his fair neck. From the perspective of Heiyu, he could only see the opponent's long eyelashes and fingers clenched tightly on the plate because of nervousness.Kudo's movements paused, and his voice was almost inaudible: "Anyway...I ran around and caused you trouble...Anyway, I'm sorry."

Hei Yu really didn't speak now.

Or rather, he didn't know what he should say.

——He can't grab the other party's collar and force him to stop doing stupid things again?Come on, they're not talking about your average Ravenclaw, but the famous Chief Auror Shinichi Kudo.In a sense, the other party was even more Gryffindor than himself, but he was unwilling to admit it.Oh, or he could just tell the other party "Hey, I already knew you were Kudo Shinichi, so I suddenly realized that I can't help you, just live well"?

So he began to find that the floor tile pattern on the kitchen is quite interesting.

Kudo didn't wait for a long time to respond, and suddenly became more nervous, although he didn't know what he was nervous about.He turned his head abruptly, looked at Kaito Kuroba, and blurted out the words without thinking, with an undisguised plea in his voice: "You...don't be angry, okay?"

Hei Yu raised his head, met the young man's eyes, and said dumbfoundedly: "How do you know I'm angry?"

"...Aren't you angry?" Kudo said suspiciously.

Black Feather shrugged: "Angry."

"That--"

"But I also know that you are a Ravenclaw, you must have your own reasons for doing this. I just want you to promise me," Kuroba stared fixedly at Edogawa Conan, "promise me no matter what so you'll live."

Kudo blinked, his nose sore.He sucked his nose hard and grinned: "Okay, I promise."

The doorbell rang at this moment.

Black Feather left a lot of shadow on the doorbell because of the oolong incident last time, and said to Edogawa, "I'll go and open the door."

"You are the boss." Edogawa pouted, turned around and went to wash the dishes.

By the time he finished handling the last few bowls, jumped off the chair and walked to the living room, Kuroba had already returned.

In his hand was a huge gift box with intricate Honeydukes prints.

Kudo couldn't help but curled the corners of his mouth, sat down on the sofa, raised his chin and looked at Kaito Kuroba who was staring at him, and pretended to say, "Yo."

"...you bought it?" Kuroba said in disbelief.

"At this time, you should say 'Oh, thank you, this is a great Christmas present' instead of such a rude question, Professor Kuroba." Kudo said sincerely.

"How do you—"

Then he remembered the letter that the other party hurried upstairs to write when he first got home.

Kudo scratched his head and lowered his head shyly: "Didn't we agree to go to Honey Duke last night—hey!"

Kuroba finally couldn't hold back himself, put down the gift and hugged the red-eared Ravenclaw tightly.Behind is the messily decorated Christmas tree, and there is still the lingering fragrance of delicious Christmas dinner in the air. The candlelight floats in the air, and the whole house is warmed up.They hugged each other, and a long shadow was drawn behind them.

"Thank you. This is the best Christmas present." Kuroba said softly.

"..." Kudo opened his eyes wide, and stood there in a daze.

After a long time, he tentatively hugged Kuroba Kaito who leaned over to hug him, pursed his lips and smiled: "Merry Christmas, Kaito."
