A/N: I am quite elated to find out that one of my favorite shoujo manga, Horimiya is now in ffdotnet. If you are not familiar with this work, I suggest you guys check it out. It's a lovely manga.

I decided to write and upload this multi-chapter series told in snippets because this would be my first time to do so. I am hoping I can do some practice here so that I can apply the same style in my other current fandom. At the same time, bits of work like these are not hard to update. It lets me write a few things not related to my current works, and I don;t have to worry about timelines and such.

This small attempt of mine has nothing to do with the ongoing manga. Izumi Miyamura, Kyoko Hori and the rest of the gang are older in my version. And their personalities are tweaked to suit my imagination. Hey, it's fanfiction so anything goes, right?

Disclaimer: I own nothing except my ramblings here.


Apple Blossoms and Freesias

He turns around when he saw her, slowly making her way towards the classroom next door with a bunch of flowers on one hand, while the other clutched her stack of books.

Dark brown hair, gleaming against sunlight, filtering through the open windows, light brown eyes dreamy as she contemplated on her next lessons, Kyoko Hori glided past him gracefully.

He leaned back on his chair, brushed the strands of longish black hair away from his face, before he adjusted his glasses.

To him, freesias and apple blossoms always remind him of her. The scent of youth, hope and…love.


A/N: Let me know what you think. :)
