You slowly remove your hand from your face and blink your eyes to adjust to the light. "Oh good, it's just you! Thank god. Where's Mina?" You quickly get to your feet and move beside Bakugo to stick your head out the door and scan the hallway before shutting the door and turning to Bakugo.

"She was running down the hall and tagged me or some shit. Then ran off somewhere else," Bakugo says irriatedly.

You're shoulders relax a little and you explain, "You and Todoroki weren't here when we started, but Momo made a Man Hunt Scavenger Hunt game in the dark that everyone is playing. Oh gosh, I hope Todoroki isn't too confused..."

Bakugo is silent for a moment before sneering in annoyance, "All you extras are so damn annoying." Bakugo goes to his desk and sets something down on it that he was carrying. And you follow him a little, moving a few steps forward. He glares at you, "But that doesn't explain why the hell you are in my room."

You stare at him in shock, "This," your eyes rove the space more closely since the lights are still on, "This is your room? I didn't know we were on the same floor."

"Tch, idiot. Of course we are."

You frown at his name calling, "I'm in here hiding from Mina and trying to find clues. She almost caught me in the hallway. And... I didn't know this was your room."

Bakugo bristles, "THAT DAMN ALIEN HID CLUES IN MY ROOM?? How many other people have been in here?!"

You cross your arms, "Who the hell knows? But who cares, chill out. It's just a game."

His red eyes lock on you and he stalks forward until he is a foot away. You ball your fists and a paper crunches in your hand.

The paper with your name on it over and over again!
You found it in here, in Bakugo's room. That means he wrote it! "Oh," you unfold the paper and brandish it in his face, "What the hell is this? Why did you write my name all over like that?"

Bakugo's jaw tightens and his gaze goes stormy as he rips the paper from your grasp. "Where the hell did you get this?" he growls low and demanding. When you don't answer, he leans down and angrily shouts in your face, "WHERE?"

You flinch slightly at the obnoxious volume, but then straighten. "I dropped my glow stick under your bed and found the paper when I was getting it from under there."

Bakugo stays there, red eyes glaring down as he towers over you before huffing and pacing a few steps away back and forth. He clenches the paper in his hand as he paces agitatedly and you wait for an explanation.

"Well? What's the deal?" you ask again impatiently.

Bakugo freezes. Hands clasped behind his back and slowly pivots to face you. "The deal? The deal is that you are my problem."

You frown in confusion. This is not what you were expecting. "What? Bakugo, what are you talking about?"

Bakugo let's out a growl of agitation and stalks toward you instantly. He stops right on front of you and roughly grips your chin, tugging it upward until you lock onto his gaze. "I told you to call me Katsuki."

Your eyes widen at the sudden contact and narrow again at Bakugo's close proximity. You pull on his wrist and yank your head out of his grasp.
"Whatever. Forget I asked anything." You spin on your heel and barely get the door open an inch before Bakugo sticks his arm in front of you and slams it back shut. You struggle with him to open the door back up, while he tries to keep it closed and somewhere in the short lived tussle, the light switch gets hit and the room descends into darkness.

The only light now is a night light in the far corner and your glow stick that you dropped on the floor during the encounter. You're pushed backward during the struggle with the door and your leg hits the side of Bakugo's bed. Bakugo is breathing harshly through his nose and you glare up at him.
