Chapter 16: Parting
In the blink of an eye, the day of school is about to start, and Kuroko is ready to embark on the journey home with her mother. While playing together in the afternoon, the god of fire learns that Kuroko is about to return to Japan, so he invites Kuroko to his house to prepare a practice feast for Kuroko.
The ice room was out because of something, so only Kuroko and Vulcan were left. After playing basketball, they went home to take a shower and change their clothes, and then the two went to the supermarket to buy ingredients before returning to Vulcan's house. On the way, Kuroko called her mother and told her that she would go back after eating at Vulcan's house in the evening, and Kuroko's mother had a good impression of Vulcan because she had seen Vulcan, so she agreed without asking, but asked Kuroko to go home early.
Vulcan twisted the shopping bag in one hand, and inserted the key into the key with the other hand to open the door, after the Vulcan entered the door, he first changed his slippers, and then took a pair of small-sized slippers from the shoe cabinet and handed them to the sunspot behind him, which was specially bought by the Vulcan for the sunspot before, because his own feet were too big, and his shoes were not worn by the sunspot at all, so he simply bought a pair for the sunspot to be worn when the sunspot came.
When Kuroko was changing her shoes, Vulcan went directly to the kitchen with the ingredients he bought in the supermarket. The apartment is a one-bedroom house, but the living room is particularly spacious, in addition to the sofa, coffee table, TV cabinet, etc., it is also equipped with some sports equipment, such as treadmills, dumbbells, etc., the decoration style is very simple, it is a modern style of black, white and gray, the kitchen is open, and there is a bar.
Kuroko sits on the couch watching TV, while Vulcan cooks in the kitchen. As for Kuroko's ability in the kitchen, Vulcan decisively gave up the idea of letting him help after seeing it for the first time. Because the action of the two together is not as fast as the speed of the fire god cooking alone, so Kuroko is here with the god of fire, and he only needs to be responsible for eating every time, and he doesn't need to interfere in other things, and Kuroko is also happy to be idle.
Although Kuroko is watching TV, he still turns his head from time to time to observe the busy figure of the god of fire, and I have to say that the god of fire who is cooking in an apron is still quite handsome. In fact, Kuroko didn't expect that in a short period of time, his relationship with the god of fire would progress so quickly. The first contact with the god of fire was also because he felt very similar to Aomine when he played basketball, and the personalities of the two were also a little similar, but with in-depth contact, Kuroko found that the two were still very different, Aomine's personality was relatively big, and the god of fire was the same on the surface, but it was actually thick on the outside and thin on the inside. Also, Aomine doesn't know anything about kitchen things, and Vulcan does have superb cooking skills, and it is because of his cooking skills that their relationship will develop so quickly and become good friends.
"Kuroko, take the dishes and chopsticks and get ready to eat, I've already made it here." The god of fire shouted loudly in the direction of Kuroko, speaking of chopsticks, which were specially bought by Kuroko because he was not used to knives and forks.
Kuroko answered the fire god and went to the kitchen to get the cutlery to the dining table. Knowing that Kuroko was not used to eating Western dishes, Vulcan made a Japanese hot pot, which is the most suitable for the cold winter. Smelling the smell of hot pot, Kuroko couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, I met the superb cooking Vulcan-kun, otherwise I really don't know how to spend these days in New York!" "
The god of fire couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and then said in a proud tone: "That's it, it's your honor to know me!" "
For the sake of food, Kuroko hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes!" Be! There is no way, who makes Vulcan's cooking skills so superb, people have tsundere capital.
The two of them had a very good meal, and the sunspots, who usually had a small amount of food, also accidentally ate a lot, and the dishes they bought in the supermarket were almost wiped out by the two. After eating, the two of them were half lying on the sofa and were reluctant to move, enjoying a rare quiet time, and the tableware and leftovers were placed on the table casually and did not intend to clean up.
It was the god of fire who spoke first to interrupt the silence of the room, "Kuroko? "
Kuroko let out a casual "um" lazily, and then waited for the Vulcan to follow.
"You're on tomorrow night's plane, aren't you?" Vulcan asked in a tentative tone.
Kuroko was a little puzzled, he had already told the god of fire in the afternoon, and he didn't know why he still knew about the advisor, but even so, he still replied, "Yes." "
The Vulcan was silent after hearing this, although he already knew it in the afternoon, but he still wanted to be sure again. Although the two have not known each other for a long time, he really enjoys his time with Kuroko, thinking that Kuroko will leave for Japan tomorrow, and the two don't know when they will see each other again, and they feel reluctant in their hearts. Sighing, the god of fire said in frustration: "When you leave, I don't know when the two of us will meet again." "
Kuroko opened his mouth when he heard this, but he didn't say anything in the end, because he didn't know how to answer the question. Because of the silence of the two, a sad atmosphere gradually filled the air around them, and the room was silent.
Just when he thought that this atmosphere would last until the end, the god of fire suddenly perked up, and then rubbed Kuroko's hair with his hand, showed a bright smile at him, and said in a neutral tone: "I don't want to do this, we are not girls, where do we need to be so sentimental, even if you go back to Japan, we can still contact us by phone!" In the future, if you have a holiday or something, you can also come to the United States or I will go to Japan to find you! I felt as if I had thought of a very good solution, and after saying that, the Vulcan himself laughed "hahaha".
Kuroko was speechless for a while, not understanding what was so funny about this, and, if I remember correctly, this topic was originally brought up by the Vulcan himself, and now he was asked not to be sentimental, obviously the saddest thing just now was not the Vulcan himself?!
The next night, Vulcan and the ice house went to the airport to bid farewell to Kuroko. The god of fire watched Kuroko's figure gradually disappear into the crowd, and the smile on his face couldn't help but fade and became a little depressed. The ice room next to him looked at the god of fire, and couldn't help but wonder a little, I don't know what the situation of this guy is, I haven't seen him show such a depressed expression when my friends have known him for a long time before, but now it's just a little guy who has known each other for a short time, is it necessary to be so sensational? It's too inconsistent with his image!
Although Kuroko sitting on the plane seat also has the sadness of parting, it is more of the joy of going home. After all, Japan is the place where he grew up and is familiar with it, although New York is accompanied by the god of fire, but in a foreign country, it is like floating leaves drifting with the waves, always floating, and in the final analysis, it is better to return to the roots.
