"Imagine your OTP making a blanket fort and making out/cuddling in it, that is all."

This is a birthday present for my Korean friend! I hope she sees this and has a good day!

The morning bell rang at Hope's Peak Academy, and Teruya walked out of his classroom with his books in his arms. "Don't forget, we've got some kind of assembly in the gym this afternoon!" Haruhiko reminded him.

"Haha, it's probably just another boring lecture that Principal Kirigiri is going to give us," Teruya joked.

Class 79 was in their third year of attending Hope's Peak Academy, which meant that their lives were gradually becoming busier as the day of their graduation drew closer. As the Ultimate Merchant, Teruya Otori had to deal with the spotlight of the media and the expectation that being an alumni of this school would bring.

Not only that, but he also needed to prepare for becoming the head of Otori Mart someday. As much as he hated to admit it, Kojiro was going to retire eventually, and he needed to keep learning how to handle the stores as the heir to the business.

Teruya sighed as he wondered if he should skip the next class and go to the library instead. He still had a lot to learn, and he wasn't good at mathematics if it wasn't related to money at all. As he was lost in thought, he accidentally bumped into someone in the hallways.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Teruya apologized, but quickly recognized who he bumped into. "Wait, Mikado? Don't your classes happen in the same classroom? What are you doing in the halls?"

Mikado Sannoji, a second-year student with the title of 'Ultimate Wizard'. He was in Class 80, and had met Teruya a year ago, before his growth spurt. Although Teruya had treated him with lots of caution back then, Mikado was amused by his temper and stayed around him. In turn, Teruya learned how to tolerate the wizard, who always sought attention.

"I've been looking for you, actually," Mikado answered, looking up at the taller man. "Before the assembly starts, come to my dorm room."

Before Teruya could ask questions or even say another word, Mikado quickly left towards the stairs. That wasn't the direction of his classroom, but Teruya chose not to comment on it. At Hope's Peak Academy, attending class wasn't mandatory as long as the students passed the Practical Exam.

More importantly, Teruya now had a legitimate excuse to not go to the assembly. If Mikado was doing something bad, he had to stop it, but if Mikado was doing something good, he could enjoy it. Teruya decided to kill time by skipping class and going to the library to study business papers.

After a couple hours, Teruya looked up at the library's clock. It was already early in the afternoon, and the students would be called for the assembly soon. The merchant let out a sigh of relief that he wouldn't be attending, and he packed up his books. His next destination was Mikado's dorm.

Hope's Peak Academy had a dorm building for students that had travelled far from their home, and Teruya and Mikado had their own dorms as well. Teruya went up the stairs to the upper floors, and saw students passing him to go to the assembly. He was already close to Mikado's dorm room, so he decided to keep going.

Before he entered the room, he could smell something delicious in the air. Teruya knocked on the door, which opened quickly, and the smell became stronger as he was ushered inside. Mikado was in loose clothing, and his kitchen table was set with freshly-baked cookies, tea, and something in a porcelain cup that Teruya couldn't recognize.
