【Fast New】London Fog

It was... so foul.

It took Kuroba Kaito a lot of effort to restrain his urge to pull the person in front of him into his arms and imprison him.

Is it because of the snow? A certain mysterious quality in the early morning of winter night absorbs all the sounds, and this small space is isolated, where all the emotions are fermented, intensified and lingering.Please, don't show such an expression, it's too easy to misunderstand.

"Are you too moved to speak? Kuroba-kun—"

Kudo Shinichi waved his hand in front of his eyes, "Or, you haven't woken up yet?"

Hmm, blue eyes.The demeanor I am familiar with is calm, determined, and a little more gentle than usual.This word does not sound very suitable for an absolutely rational detective, who told him that he usually faces himself with a defensive or even sharp posture, but this moment of tenderness unexpectedly fits everything about him, his voice, expression, breath, as if This is what he was like, the way the eyes that looked at him should be.

It's not good to let the atmosphere freeze for too long, Kuroba lowered his gaze, picked up a spoon and took a bite of the chocolate cake.The sweet but not greasy taste melts in the mouth, which is his favorite taste.When he lowered his head, he rearranged his expression, and when he raised his head, he changed into his usual poker face again, "Merry Christmas, thank you, Shinichi." Saying this, he didn't dare to meet the other person's eyes.Can't help but sigh in my heart——

In this battle, Kaito Kuroba may have to admit defeat first.

It was obviously a response that did not allow anyone to see any clues, but such a serious answer made Kudo-kun a little at a loss.What, I was still thinking about his hundred possible reactions just now, and I was even mentally prepared to crack the pretending magic that appeared in front of me in the next second.It is more likely to speak unceremonious jokes to the other party as before.But such a sincere thank you extinguished all his arrogance.

Kudo poured himself a glass of warm water, then sat quietly opposite him, watching him wipe the cake spoon by spoon.I was thinking about when this guy Hattori will come back, although the space between the two of us is not bad... But sure enough, Hattori Heiji, you should come back quickly...

Otherwise, the rate of heart beating cannot be slowed down.

What are you nervous about?afraid of what?

He didn't ask himself that question.

Kaito Kuroba suddenly raised his uninjured hand, and gently rubbed away a little water stain on Detective-kun's brow with his thumb.I don't know if it's because he doesn't want the other party to see the big scar on the back of his hand, but Kuroba is still used to using the other hand.Such brief physical contact can make people dizzy.

"Is it snowing outside?"

"Ah..um."

"Why didn't you stay with Ms. Lan for a while longer?"

"It's getting late, so let's take her home."

"I don't know if the snow has accumulated outside—" Detective Jun muttered, got up and walked to the window to look outside.There was a layer of mist on the window caused by the temperature difference, so he couldn't see the outside clearly, nor could he see the expressions of the people watching him behind him.

"An adult date doesn't have to end so early."

"I don't have that kind of relationship with her... What are you thinking about all day long?" Detective Jun frowned slightly, as if a little displeased, but also a little relieved.

"I'm thinking about you."

Since they are about to lose, let's turn defense into offense.Anyway, it won't be taken seriously, just like a joke, it's fine to be ignored.Thinking of this, Kaito Kuroba felt relieved.So he stared at the background standing by the window, got up and walked towards him, saying unhurriedly:

"Every day I think about how Shinichi solved this problem on the blackboard. Where is Shinichi, who is he meeting, and what is he doing when he is not in my sight? How should the magic be designed this time? I won't let Shinichi see through it so easily. Has Shinichi eaten, is it because he only drank a few cups of coffee because of work? Is there a new case? How long will it take Shinichi to catch the criminal this time? Now I have to add one more thing, you idiot Shinichi, don’t get hurt again.”

……

After a few seconds of silence, Detective Jun slowly turned around.Is it like that, with a calm face, like saying, why are you crazy, or, I'm fine, thank you for your concern, such an expression.Kuroba has many ideas, but none of them fit the current look of Kudo Shinichi.

He was a little shocked, a little unbelievable, and more of a little frustrated looking at him.It was a disguise that had lasted for a long time, but was easily broken by him.As if he wanted to say something back—speaking anything casually is better than silence, he moved his lips, closed his eyes again as if giving up, and when he opened them again, his eyes wandered, like water disappearing into water.

"...And now, what are you thinking about now?"

"Now I'm thinking... Do you want Shinichi to try that piece of chocolate cake just now?"

Kaito Kuroba moved closer.His uninjured hand crossed Kudo Shinichi's shoulder to support the wall, and then continued to shorten the distance bit by bit.

There was a deafening heartbeat in my ear, and I didn't know who it was coming from.

Anyway, all I know is that only you can extinguish the flame in my heart.

Detective Jun looked at the enlarged face in front of him and gave up thinking.This kiss will come in three seconds, if the other party is not making an extremely bad joke, if he does not back away.

Like returning to the KTV where the lights were turned off before, the man turned his head and touched the corner of his mouth like a superficial touch, and everyone disappeared, only the man in the background music sang affectionately.

「爱すれば爱するほど, Mist in the Misty い込んんで.」

Loving you, loving you more and more, is like getting lost in the mist.

Am I lost?

Obviously such a similar person, why didn't he think that the other party had the same mood as himself.

Do you love me as much as I love you?

……

"Ah, the lights are still on, Kuroba, haven't you slept yet? I went out in a hurry this afternoon and didn't bring the key. Please open the door for me!"

The carefree Kansai accent came from outside the door, and the two of them seemed to be frozen for a second, as if a century had passed.Kuroba put down his hand against the wall, turned around and opened the door.

"It was a great help, thank you! ...Huh?"

"An adult date doesn't have to end so early, Hattori-kun."

Ahhh, just now I was glared at by the magician who was smiling but not smiling. It was so scary.Hattori Heiji felt a little bad, especially when he entered the room and found a person by the window.Kudo Shinichi stood there with his head down, looking a little dazed.

"you……"

"Tomorrow morning flight, I'll go home first. Good night."

Kaito Kuroba picked up the phone on the table and the coat on the back of the chair, quickly changed his shoes, the sound of the door opening, and then the sound of closing the door, Kudo Shinichi raised his eyes to meet Hattori's gaze.

"Why is the plane going home now tomorrow morning? It's a little bit sooner." Hattori was puzzled.

"Where is he flying tomorrow morning?"

"London. Doesn't his dad have a New Year's tour? The first stop is in England, and the last stop is back to Japan. Kuroba said before that he would be a guest...but then he also said that he injured his hand and didn't practice, so he didn't go?"

"Well, I don't even know."

"So..." Hattori looked at the remains of the cake on the table, and Kudo Shinichi's disappointed expression, "Should I not come back at this time?"
