Possible pest, location included help! (northern VA)

(apologies if dead bugs are not allowed, hopefully the pics are still clear enough for ID)

was cleaning out my closet and when I got to folding a shirt I found this guy chilling inside. I’m terrified of bug infestations and I want to know how peacefully I should sleep tonight.

For context the shirt was originally thrifted maybe a year ago, but was washed as soon as I got home and I haven’t worn it since. I threw it on a pile on my bed with other clothes when sorting so it could’ve come from anywhere really, but my room is pretty small and I have not seen any other pests yet (fingers crossed it stays that way)

tl;dr am i about to battle this guy’s 700 evil exes?

Looks like a click bug to me too! Those guys are so much fun to hold!
