It feels like he's been hiding for ages. He knows he can't leave where he is least he'd give himself away, but he's honestly starting to wonder if it'd be worth it. It's not like they can do much and he has no actual reason to keep hiding, if he's found, well, oh well. He doesn't really have an opinion on succeeding anyway.
He wonders if he's good at hiding because of all the times he tried to keep from his father as a child? No, probably not. Enji didn't try very hard, just demanded. After all Shouto was created for a reason.
A chill crawls down his back and he subconsciously heats up a little as he shivers, it's getting late. He wonders if it's safe to come out yet? He'd say he's doing fairly well but he has no way to actually gauge that opinion, so instead he curls up further in the little nook he found, arms crossed to hold himself and silent while he waits, trying to battle out the cold without giving away where he was or making his support unstable.

He doesn't wait much longer after that before the floor gives out from beneath him and he's clutched tightly in a fierce grip, unrelenting, with no apparent plan to let go soon; words curling around in his head and shock flooding his system. He doesn't think he'll every forget this moment for as long as he lives. The villain snarls, teeth sharp and cutting, warmth oozing from the strong arm Shouto lies within, and he swallows down the lump in his throat, ears warm and ringing at his name.
"Found you, *Shouto*."

He smirks as he pulls the redhead from where he's hidden with a cackle before tossing the boy back to the other two. He doesn't even wait to see if they catch him before he runs off, he knows they did. He can hear them crowing in delight over the unbreakable hero, what a joy to find. He's found a minority of the hidden ones, very few still needing found; he'd even found All Might, granted the man was certainly not at his peak, but he'd still found him and that was all that mattered.
So yes so very few left. In fact if he remembers the heroes correctly and his numbers are accurate, there's only two left. Earaserhead and...
He whips his head up and back tracks, before grinning at the wall maniacally. He'd found him! He rolls his arm a little and gives it a good shake before ascending and grabbing a hold of the terrace to propel himself up. The elusive one, he's so close. He can feel it in the air, faintly pick up the marks left behind by the usually careful boy.
He takes in a large breath of air before rounding the corner and looking up at the carefully placed sheet. It's off color, darker than usual in the shadowing light of evening falling, blending in well with the rest of the ceiling. The hero would have gotten away with it if he himself wasn't so damn good at what he did. But he is so it's a moot point. Bringing his hands up he breaks the fragile sheet and catches the falling lump in his arms before his grip tightens and he croons, a smug look on his face.
"Found you, Shouto."
He can see Shouto's throat Bob and his ears flush, and it only causes his leering grin to go more feral, sharp.
It's a good day to be a villain.

Mina sighs and groans as she stretches. Sero besides her securing their homeroom teacher as she looks around at the group they'd collected.
Their entire class is there, some of the faculty and class B too, well no not their entire class she supposes. Mineta, Kaminari, and Ojirou are actually in the other group. Kami is practically hanging off of Ojirou and their close to Shinsou, talking while Mineta tries to get closer to some of the class B girls, creep, probably let Kendo find him. She'll have to apologize to Kendo later…. Or not she supposes as she sees Kendo whap him like she does Monoma. Poor girl, at least Monoma isn't som A class perv. Kendo is strong though, wow, and so pretty. Like that was kind of .. huh, she may have to figure out that attraction later.
She turns her attention back to the others and smiles at their numbers. They did awesome!! She bounds up to Sero and leans on him while Aizawa talks about how much better they've gotten and that they were fairly successful. The whole class needs to get better at finding hiding spots though, after all if you want to succfully hide others from villains, or find them from capture areas, it's best you find all the places that would remain well hidden. He then turns to her and sero before raising a brow.
Ah right, Bakugou. She smiles and waves her hand in the general direction behind her. " He was off like a shot that direction last we saw. Probably caught a whiff of Todoroki and wanted to get to him before others did." She says with a knowing look shot at their teacher, after all, nothing gets to Bakugou faster than the thought of not getting an indisputable first, Midoriya, being ignored, and Todoroki. Gods forbid Todoroki be a part of the first three options either, then it's ten times worse. Twenty actually if Midoriya is involved. And he says that 'Icyhot don't mean shit. Pft. She doesn't know who he thinks he's fooling. The whole school knows by now if something's got anything to do with Todoroki Bakugou will be nearby, or have heard it already.
Aizawa scowls at her before his focus on something past her and he shakes his head. She doesn't even have to turn to know she's right. Buuuuuuut she does anyway because like hell would she miss anything to use against Bakugou or a reason to even look at Todoroki.
And she's so glad she did because the sight is so too perfect. Todoroki relaxed in Bakugou's arms and pretty much slack against him, head slumped against Bakugou's shoulder; and he's so much taller too so his limbs don't quite fit, his long form curled up a d legs dangling. He looks… extremely tired.
Bakugou however looks like he just got a little energizing zap from Pikachu and polished off two cans of energy drinks, not that he'd ever touch that shit. His grin is so wide it doesn't fit on his face and his eyes are bright and wide, his muscles flexing as he holds the prince of their class, he looks like the cat who got the cream. And she supposes he is. They've found everyone they were supposed to find, the whole school is gathered in the middle of campus grounds, standing in the fading light, some shivering, and Bakugou is holding Todoroki. He has every right to that look on his face. She grind widely at them and watches as Kirishima bolts forward excitedly despite having been thrown by the man mere minutes ago. Face excited, and mouth moving a mile a minute.
She's not a teacher but she'd say that this lesson has been a success, besides hello. Hide and seek campus wide. Yeah, like, hell yeah! Besides Aizawa said they did well, and she'll never forget All Night's face when Bakugou had picked up his compact form and claimed him found, after stealing him on his way to the staff room. He'd said he was going for a snack and would have hid right back where he planned, but Bakugou hadn't let him finish and had dropped him off next to a flustered Izuku, whom they'd found in a five minute mark. Bakugou apparently knew every cranny of the buildings, and what went on in Deku's brain surprisingly well, well enough to know where he'd likely be out of a few choice places.
So yeah, it was a fun, exciting, learning filled, joyous memory making occasion.
She watched as Todoroki slept on Bakugou's shoulder on the way to the dorms, before the whole squad decided it was time for a sleepover, which was then joined by the deku squad. And well if Bakugou had to shush their giggles more than once so that Prince Charming could sleep, then Mina supposed she could live with that.
The others seemed to agree.
