[In hindsight, he probably could have figured handling things better. But at the time, he was just focused on ensuring that everyone else was safe. And he'd known that if he told any of his classmates the truth, what he intended to do, they'd likely try to stop him. If anything, it was probably surprising it took them that long to track him down and drag him back to the dorms. He knew he could trust Bakugo. The blonde had already known about his connection with All Might. But he also knew that Bakugo would likely have tried to stop him from going. So he had figured that leaving the letters was a compromise. A way to try to explain and apologize.
He smiles as their pinkies hold together. There's an almost nostalgic feeling about it. And maybe it was childish. To want to make a promise. It would be hard to keep. But both of them knew they had to try. For each other. For the moment, he's oblivious to everyone else. That it's not just the two of them. That others could see them and were probably wondering what these two dorks were doing, promising like toddlers.
It takes a moment before he withdraws a little, straightening more and releasing Bakugo's pinky, a little sheepish even as he chuckles.]

S-so, um...anything else I should know?
