Since Katsuki had arrived later than his other classmates, they'd already chosen what to watch without him. He didn't really mind either way, since he'd also just found out that they were going to watch a movie in the first place a few minutes ago.

The movie they'd chosen was some comedy, or whatever. He wasn't really paying any attention to the movie, so he wasn't completely sure. He was more busy practically staring holes into the back of Izuku's head. Katsuki was sitting on one of the couches, next to Mina, and Denki. Izuku was sitting between Ochako, and Tenya, right in front of the blonde.

Katsuki wasn't sure whether it was just a coincidence that his green haired classmate sat right there, or if someone had set this up. He glanced at Eijirou, who seemed like the most likely person to have planned who sits where, but the redhead didn't notice Katsuki's eyes resting upon him.

Over all, even if he might not have understood all jokes or the entire plot, due to how distracted he was, Katsuki did think that it was a surprisingly enjoyable evening. It felt remotely like a short break from all the worries that were plaguing his mind.

After the movie had ended, and while the credits were playing, his classmates were beginning to leave, one by one. He assumed they were already heading for bed. Eventually, he got up too. He wasn't planning on going to bed already, mostly because he knew he probably wouldn't be able to sleep anyway.

He was walking up the stairs to his dorm room extraordinarily slowly. This was mostly, because he was lost in thought once again, so really, nothing out of the ordinary. Some of his classmates who'd taken the stairs as well seemed almost surprised how slowly he was climbing the stairs. None of them said anything about it. Because why would they? They already knew he wasn't doing particularly good recently, so why mention something as miniscule as this? They didn't want to make him feel worse, and they felt somewhat bad for being so pushy about his issues in the past.

As Katsuki had finally arrived at the door to the floor his dorm room was on, he hesitated for some reason. It almost felt like he shouldn't go to bed yet, like he shouldn't even go to his room.
Not because he felt like something was keeping him from going there, or because something could be wrong there. It was more because he felt like there was another place he should go. But where? He couldn't be exactly sure, since it was barely even a gut feeling. Maybe even less than that. But he felt like there was something- or someone?- on the rooftop, and like it'd be a good idea for him to go there.

But that feeling, it weirded him out. It was already pitch black outside, and it'd gotten pretty late... So why should he go up there? What could possibly be up there that'd make a difference in any way? What could happen up there at this time that would even matter?

It took a lot of his willpower, but he decided to just go to his room, and at least try to go to sleep.

And so that's what he did.

He attempted to go to sleep, he really tried. But after tossing, and turning for what felt like hours, he simply gave up.

That weird feeling he'd had earlier still hadn't disappeared. He was questioning again whether he should just go up there. Because, really, what harm could it do to just give in to such an ominous gut feeling, right?

There was still a thought in the back of his head that was worried that this might be a terrible idea, or something like that. But the blonde did his best to silence that part of his mind, because curiosity was really getting the better of him.
