Caught Our Attention

Figuring Things Out

Izuku POV

My eyelids seemed to burn as I slowly came to consciousness. Sunlight trying its best to pierce the protective film.

 I layed with my eyes closed in the comfort of a proper bed for a few more moments. Relishing the fact that I wouldn't be waking up on the floor again. 

Eventually the urgentness of the situation came back to me, and I willed myself to turn on my opposite side before prying my eyes open. I experienced a wave of disappointment when I realized neither prince was cuddling me anymore. I couldn't help but feel abandoned. They had left before I woke up.

 With minimal strength, I pushed myself up into a sitting position. Still rubbing traces of sleep from my eyes. I gave the pillows one last longing look, before swinging my legs over the side and standing up. My feet lightly touch smooth wood. Cool and soothing against the burns from yesterday.

 I blinked twice more, before taking my first steps away from the bed. Once my head was clear, my objective of escaping came back to me. I ran first to the giant balcony. Only to be disappointed by the revelation that I was ten stories up. 

Quickly realizing my escape would have to wait, I ran to the connecting toilet room. After watching my hands, I reached for the doorknob.

 "BANG" I paused. The door to the room had been flung open. I steeled myself and crouched next to the door quietly. I waited for another sound. I distinctly heard someone rummaging and running around the room before yelling I was not prepared for rang out. 

"SHITTY HAIR!!!! WHERE THE FUCK IS MY OMEGA?!?!" recognized the voice instantly. It was one of my owners. I tried my best to stifle a whimper, but it slipped through. Total silence befell the room. Bakugou had stopped rummaging, and had stilled. 

"Omega. Where are you?" again, I tried to stop myself from answering, failing. A long whine fell from my lips. I froze in agonizing fear as nothing happened for a few seconds. Until I heard heavy footsteps. 

They approached the door to the bathroom slowly. Like he was trying not to scare me. His silence as he crept closer stroked my anxiety some more. Just as he placed his hand on the doorknob, another voice pierced the silence. 

"What are you doing? Creeping around like that?" It was Todoroki's voice. 

"He is hiding in the bathroom" 

"well way to go, making it even worse." a third voice reached my ears. This one was far more relaxing to hear. 

"SHUT THE FUCK UP PINK CHEEKS!!!" 

"stop yelling! You are making it worse. He is probably shaking in his boots from the way you are dealing with this. Now before you just barge in, why don't you ask to come in?"

 "ITS MY FUCKING ROOM!!!"

 "AND HE IS YOUR FUCKING RESPONSIBILITY!!! *sigh* just do as I say." 

"god, fine. Fucking whatever. Hey omega" I whimpered as his attention was once again on me. "Can I fucking come in or whatever?" strangely enough, it worked. I was calmer. I already knew there was no real point in trapping myself in here. The only rational course of action would be to open the door, and not to anger him. So I did. 

As the door swung open, one by one, each person in the room was revealed to me. Starting with Uraraka, and ending with Bakugou himself. I kept my eyes low and my head even lower, hoping to diffuse the situation as fast as possible.

 "There you are Izuku, now, can I know why you were hiding?" Uraraka talked to me sweetly. I wanted to answer her. I felt like if I didn't, I would disappoint her. But I didn't know what to say. Why did I hide? Isn't it obvious? I shook my head slowly. I mean, what would I even say?
