A pleasant smell of food cooking wafted through the apartment early in the day. It was a fairly average morning for Mugi. The rest of the flatmates were sleeping still as he prepared a meal that would surely summon them. Cooking was not exactly his favorite hobby but even he wouldn’t deny that he had a knack for it. Once in a blue moon another stygian would ask him how he learned to cook and he would confess to reading more than a handful of cooking manga and a few books some authors recommended. He shifted his weight slightly as he flipped the omelet he was cooking and shifted a few pieces of bacon that were cooking too fast over to the cooler side of a different pan.

He let out a relaxed sigh. Mornings were so quiet and peaceful. There was only one thing others usually never asked him. Rarely did anyone ask why Mugi, who had no greater design than to spend the better part of his life immersed in literature, had taken up cooking. The reason why he had started cooking was probably the more interesting part of his hobby.

At one point in time he had lived with another stygian that was an editor and quite avid in the world of new books and published literature. The catch was they really hated cooking. Now Mugi wasn’t ignorant. He was always looking for ways to get a hold of the latest copies of his favorite series. Cooking was evidently the way to the editor’s heart and so Mugi took up the culinary arts. Just the thought of getting a copy of a book in pristine condition before it was released to the shelves nearly caused him to drop his spatula now though.

Not much had changed since he changed who he was living with. The bunch of stygian he lived with now were contented to cut back his rent expenses a bit for his cooking. Mugi of course couldn’t complain. It had been a long time since his last roommate that he was now quite the seasoned chef. Wrapping up the few dishes he had cooking on the stove he heard a soft click of a door open and someone shuffling into the bathroom, bleary eyed without a doubt. The peaceful morning would soon be over but it was about time. If the food got cold he would be happy to have used his precious reading time preparing it. Pulling out the plates and silverware he leaned towards the hall. “Breakfast is ready! Get out here.” And that was the last of it. Soon the rest of the day would begin and he could organize a few volumes he had yet to put away.
A little story about Mugi for a character development quest. Mugi lives with a few other stygian in an apartment and often gets talked into cooking. Not because the others aren't willing to try to cook but because Mugi just makes some really good food. It's only a bit silly though because he strongly attributes it to many chapters read from cooking manga and a few recipes a won him over if only just a bit. What a dork. >v>;; I love him. <3
