Disclaimer: This story is purely fanfictional. I decided to add a spice of romance to the storyline and created a new character, Muhyo's childhood friend, Hanabi Yuri. Please review and comments. If you do not like it, go easy on the comments and just stop reading this altogether. I have been keeping this in my pc for over three years and finally had the guts to publish it. Enjoy!~ ^.^V


Hmm. Apples.

The smell I wake up to every morning. It was probably the only smell that could ever wake me up. Apples.

I wrapped my arms around her little waist, pressing my face into her neck. Little Yuu-Chan turned to face me, smiling.

"Good morning Muhyo."

I looked at her, "Morning." Crap, it's morning already?

She got up to get ready to school, the scent of apples disappeared along with her. I whined, burying my head into her pillow. Hmm. apples.

"Wake up, sleepy head. We have classes, remember?" I heard her giggle. Her sweet, soft giggle filled the air. Yoichi was still groggy, as he got ready to go to class. Enchyu however was already up and ready, reading his textbook on the desk.

She put on her suspenders, a symbol of Magic Law users. Then, she sat next to me on our bed, folding the blankets. It was a cold morning, making me curl up more and more into the bed, burying myself in the scent of apples.

"It's no use trying, Yuu-Chan. Muhyo will never wake up," I heard Enchyu say.

She giggled, picking me up and hugging me, she strokes my hair, "Wake up Muhyo. Wake up. We don't want to be late."

I whined, burying my face into her neck. Sniff. Sniff. The scent of apples overwhelmed me; I opened my eyes. She smiled, "See? He woke up."

I smiled back at her, getting out of her arms as the other two looked at us flabbergasted. I glared at them, "What the hell are you two looking at?"

Yoichi smiled, suddenly fresh, "Awh. How sweet!"

"Now that Yuu-Chan knows how to wake him up, we can go to classes early."

"Look! Muhyo's blushing!" Yoichi pointed at me.

Shit! I felt my cheeks become red hot. Looking away I crossed my arms, "If you guys don't shut up, I'll just go back to sleep."

Yuri stood two inches shorter in front of me, passing me a set of my clothes, "You'd better hurry Muhyo-Chan."

"Muhyo—"

"Chan…?"

My two other roommates were laughing their heads off, making fun of me as I chased them down the hallway in my pajamas. I could hear Yuri giggling from our room.

Apples. Yuri.

I love waking up in the mornings in the MLS. Because I know I'll wake up next to you. And I am able to enjoy the apple scent.
