Chasing Tinkerbelle (BakuDeku)

47 - Fugitive

As Izuku carefully closed the door behind him, he realized that yes, yes he was in fact sneaking out of his own apartment.

He winced when the door made a slight clicking noise as he locked it behind him.

For about thirty seconds, he stood there, frozen on the spot as he waited for a sign that Katsuki had heard that. When he didn't hear anything, he waited an extra fifteen seconds just to make sure that he was in the clear.

Relief surged through him as he stepped away from his door and quickly, yet quietly, made his way towards the front door where freedom awaited him.

Gosh, he couldn't believe that he was doing this.

Okay, so that wasn't exactly true.

He could completely believe that he was sneaking out of his own apartment the morning after fooling around with one of the hottest men that he'd ever seen.

Last night had been...

Amazing.

There was no other way to describe it.

He'd never been more nervous or more excited in his life than last night. He'd been terrified that he would do or say something wrong, to wreck the moment and bring reality crashing down on him.

Instead, he'd had an incredibly sexy man panting and begging him to keep touching him and giving him a hand job.

And Katsuki's mouth on him was just...

Fantastic.

He couldn't help but grin smugly as he reached for the doorknob and-

Frowned when the door wouldn't open.

He tried to turn the knob again, but it wouldn't budge.

He even checked the lock, but it wouldn't open. Making a mental note to call Ochaco later, he turned around and quietly walked back down the hall, making sure to be extra quiet as he walked past his apartment door.

He threw a cautious glance over his shoulder and-

Groaned pathetically when he realized that he was trying to make his escape without his satchel and lunch bag.

He stopped walking as he considered his options. He could walk to work, skip lunch and fill up on water from the bubbler all day and call one of the guys for a ride home later or...

Go back into his apartment and risk running into the man that he was trying to avoid.

He stood there for another minute, contemplating his choices until finally with a shrug, he turned around and started walking towards the back door again, deciding that a vigorous five mile walk in ninety degree weather in hightops was the better option.

He opened the back door and walked outside, carefully closing the door behind him. Ignoring the oppressive heat, he walked around the house and headed for the driveway...

Where Katsuki Bakugo, the sneakiest bastard to ever walk the face of the planet, was leaning back against his truck, holding Izuku's satchel and lunch bag.

"Forgot something?" Katsuki asked with a lopsided smile as he pushed away from his truck.

"I, umm... " he mumbled pathetically, trying to come up with an excuse for why he was trying to sneak off without a word, but sadly, he couldn't come up with a single one.

"Jump in. We'll grab breakfast on the way," Katsuki said, walking around his truck and opened the passenger door for him.

Accepting the fact that he wasn't going to be able to come up with an excuse for why he'd rather walk the five miles to work than face him, he forced a small smile, murmured, "Thank you," and accepted Katsuki's help and climbed in.
