Alas, with so much scotch to drink, it didn’t take long before Hakuba passed out completely drunk fell fast asleep on on the table. This left no one to answer his phone calls, texts, or the door.
But, for what it was worth, he did enjoy it, yes.

“Laugh? Why would I laugh about that? Although Conan-kun might be young, he has a large amount of cases in his curriculum vitae, which technically makes him your senpai when detective work is concerned. I can see him being a valuable teacher, particularly to those who are just starting out – like you, or his little detective boys league.”
“Oi, just how many people have you gone around and told about this? My mentoring you isn’t supposed to be a status symbol or anything, yaknow."
“I did, actually… Most of it was spent in bed, but the time I spent with Baaya, our staff, and – gasp – even my father was quite lovely. I managed to stay awake long enough for gifts and lunch, then went right back to sleep. Quiet Christmas, really, but it could have been much, much worse.
"How was yours, Yamashita-chan?”
“Calm down, Hakuba-kun! I got my recent immunization shots on my 16th birthday. I got some hand sanitizer in my bag.” she said as she pulled a travel sized bottle out of her bag.
“But when was your birthday? Have you gotten a flu shot yet this season? Thank god for the sanitizer; put some on right this instant. With all of the touching that people do during the holidays – shopping, opening doors, wrapping gifts, giving them, hugging, potluck grazing – ugh! So many opportunities for sickness to spread and everyone will end up sharing each others germs and then where will we be? If this were a zombie outbreak, the whole country could be infected within days! No – hours, with how densely populated Japan is! Don’t you see how dangerous this is? You must go home immediately and quarantine. Don’t get sick, and don’t get anyone else sick. I’m to return to bed. Please stay well this holiday season, Yamashita-chan. Please.”
“It’s ok. I had a cold 2 weeks ago and my immune system is pretty strong.” Kita said with a smile.
“It could be an entirely different virus by now! Your immune system may still be compromised! This is very important, Yamashita-chan… we must all do our part to prevent the spreading of germs and disease. Did you at least get your immunization shots? Where’s the hand sanitizer?"

“Your welcome, Hakuba-kun! Here’s a little extra Christmas present from me.” Kita said as she gave Hakuba a kiss on the cheek and lowered her head to hide her red face. She just hoped Hakuba wasn’t mad at her for pulling a surprise on him like that.
“Ahaa… Yamashita-chan, please; don’t let me get you sick, too. That would be awful, I think, to be ill on Christmas. We must be careful not to spread this virus around.”
“Alas, it seems that in my haste to wrap up this case, I’ve worked myself a little bit too hard and… ah, the overtime has caught up to me. I’ve managed to become quite ill… so no, it doesn’t look like I’ll be going home for Christmas, and instead may be staying in bed. My apologies, Yamashita-chan; it seems that if my mum doesn’t get to have me for the holidays, no one will."
Kita blushed as she handed Hakuba a sweater. “Here! This is your Christmas gift. I just know how cold winters are in Japan. The sweater will help you stay warm and maybe help you get over whatever bug you have. Merry Christmas, Hakuba-kun!”
“Aha, thank you, Yamashita-chan… I appreciate it very much. Happy Christmas to you, as well!”

“Ah, thank you for the invitation, but I’m not entirely certain where I’ll be next week yet… my mum’s still attempting to convince me to come home for the holidays and I’m a bit concerned that she may attempt to kidnap me at this rate… Perhaps I could take a raincheck?"
“That’s funny… I’m fairly certain that I’m already a man, and have proven such on several occasions and in several avenues. Drinking doesn’t make me any less of a man; it’s simply a coping method for issues that I’m otherwise unable to effectively resolve at this moment.”
