The warmth of the common area settled around the group like a comforting blanket, the soft hum of conversation filling the air. Vespera lounged on the couch, her legs tucked beneath Mina's as she absentmindedly played with a strand of her hair. Around her, the rest of the class sprawled across the room, in various states of relaxation, the exhaustion from the day's training finally giving way to an evening of possibilities.
"So," Kirishima broke the silent whispers, he sat up straighter with an excited grin on his. "What's the plan for tonight? We can't just sit here a do nothing all night, right?"
Mina perked up swinging her legs off Vespera's nudging her shoulder. "Yeah, come on! Let's do something fun! Maybe a movie? Or we could play a game?"
"I wouldn't mind a movie," Momo said thoughtfully, glancing around to gauge interest. "Something light and comedic maybe?" We deserve a little break."
Tsuyu, seated on the floor next to Uraraka nodded eagerly. "a comedy th-ounds perfect! Something to laugh at, no thinking required."
Vespera leaned back, her gaze flickering between her classmates. "I'm down for whatever," She shrugged her shoulders; smiling lazily enjoying the laid-back atmosphere.
Todoroki, who hadn't spoken the entire time sat straight giving his input. "A movie sounds fine, but no horror." His tone was calm, but there seemed to be a slight edge to his words that made a few others chuckle.
"Horror's totally out of the question," Kaminari groaned, dramatically leaning back in his chair. "After all that training today, I don't think I could handle anything jumping out at me."
"Agreed," Jirou added from across the room, adjusting the earbuds around her neck, "Let's keep it chill." Mina clapped her hands together excitedly. "Okay! Movie night it is! But we need snacks—lots of snacks."
"I can help with that," Sero offered, already getting up. "I'll grab the popcorn, and someone else can get the drinks."
Most everyone got up from where they were resting, moving to the kitchen and pantry to gather supplies for the night's entertainment.
Vespera stretched her arms above her head, ready to settle into whatever the night would bring. "Looks like it's movie night then. Better pick something good, or I'll fall asleep." A grin made its way to her face as she finally stood tall.
Mina grinned almost mischievously as she skipped off towards the kitchen with Sero. "Don't worry, we'll keep you entertained Vespera!" The girl could only shake her head wondering what it was her pink friend was planning.

As the movie preparations continued, Mina glanced around with a playful glint in her eyes. Vespera was rummaging through the cabinets in search of something, her movements easy and unhurried. "Hey, Todoroki," Mina called out, her voice sugary sweet, "why don't you show Vespera where we keep the extra blankets? You know, for the cozy movie vibes."
