*The Next Day*

"Hey Bakubro, what do you think they'll serve today for lunch?" Kirishima asked, a curious look passing over his face as half of him hung over the edge of the bed.

Shrugging and shooting an accusatory look at the redhead, Katsuki got up from his spot on the floor and went up to the door, setting his hands lightly against it.

"It should open any second no-" he started to say, bring interrupted by the sound of the blaring alarm letting nearby guards that the cells were opening.

Backing off, Katsuki watched as the metal door slowly opened magnetically, the sound of his rumbling stomach infecting his mind.

'Damn, I'm starving,' he thought as he strolled out of the compact space once the door fully opened.

Being followed closely by Kirishima, Katsuki walked straight to the staircase to the right and quickly walked down the steps; pointing to the table that sat at the day before while he walked past it.

Expertly perusing through the bottom level and arriving to the counter where they served the food, Katsuki nodded at the guy behind it and grabbed two trays; quickly speeding through the whole food process so he could get back to his crush.

Setting both trays down and looking around suspiciously, Katsuki sat down and leaned forward with a passive look settling on his face for once.

"Did you find anything else out yet during breakfast, Kiri?" he not-so-subtly whisper shouted to the other teen.

Eijirou simply shook his head as he played around with his mac and deeply thought about their options.

Huffing, Katsuki leaned back and did the same, looking up to check if anyone was watching every once in awhile.

Katsuki leaned forward again, but this time with more excitement and shaky hands.

"What if, based on what happened yesterday, we could go around the same time the doors opened tonight?" Tapping his fingers against the holy-table and leaving back a bit, Katsuki impatiently waited for Kirishima's response as he continued to brainstorm.

Scrunching his eyebrows together and really thinking hard, Eijirou folded his hands and set his chin on said intertwined digits.

"Okay, we could, but how would we know that would happen again? They could have just done that to get Deku," he countered.

Shaking his head, Katsuki threw back,

"But didn't you hear stuff? Like, I only barely just woke up when the door closed, but didn't you hear other doors opening? Maybe it's a collective thing all over the prison where in the middle of the night, all cell doors open!"

Allowing confusion to twist his face, Kirishima leaned forward as well.

"What...b-but that doesn't make any sense! Why would they open the doors at midnight? Doesn't that imply chaos, or literally everyone just leaving when it happens?! That has no logical sen-" Pausing, Eijirou un-interlaced his fingers as a certain revelation hit him.

Holding his hands up as a reassurance, Eijirou said,

"Okay, okay, hear me out. What if...it was never supposed to make logical sense? Like, what if...what if they open the doors at that time...on purpose?" Katsuki's eyes widened as the gears in his head started to turn in the right directions and clicked in the correct spots.

"Holy shit, Shitty hair, that-that...hm," Katsuki covered his mouth in thought while he tried to conclude his statement.

"That does sound plausible, but...like, why? Yes, we're going somewhere with that fucking theory, but...why the fuck would they want to open the doors on purpose? Couldn't they just open our cell, grab Deku, and leave every other cell untouched?"
