"Y/n are you sure you're alright?" Suga asked as he noticed my hands were shaking a bit while I gripped the ball in my hands. 

"yeah... the cameras are just a bit... nerve wrecking..." I mumbled before I tossed the ball up and did a normal serve. I wasn't trying at this point right now since energy is the most importantly thing... Though even if I said that, I can already feel a few cameras on me... 

Which adds to the stress I'm feeling already and the under pressure as I swayed a bit side to side.

"Woah is there...!" Suga said as he stood by my side as he held both my arms to keep me in place from falling down. He then perked up before placing his hand over my sweaty forehead. "Y/n, you have a fever..!" He whispered as we walked away from the court for a moment to the bench as the others took notice.

"Fever? What's that? I'm just nervous.." I said avoiding eye contact. 

Suga narrowed his eyes as he lets me sit down for a moment and handed me a water bottle as soaked a towel down with cold water and placed it on my head. 

"Suga, what's wrong?" Diachi as everyone was approaching us as I sighed and looked down

I tugged nervously on Suga's arm. I really want to play, I really do... I can't stand by and watch them play... when I was the one who made that bet in the first place.

Suga must have picked up that I really wanted to do this... He just lets out a small sigh and looked at the others. "No, he just got really overwhelmed by the cameras so I made him sit down for now." Suga said and smiled.

The others nodded as soon the whistle blew, signaling for us to officially start...

"We will now begin the Japanese National High School Volleyball Tournament," The announcer said as Suga sticks close to me as we got in line on the court, "Miyagi Prefecture Qualifiers, Boys' Finals..."

I took a deep breath in as I can feel my entire being ready to collapse right there, but I don't want to let my team down... Especially now we made it this far..

Miyagi Karasuno High School vs. Shiratorizawa Academy" The crowd cheered as Akaashi was making sure Bokuto wasn't overexaggerating his clapping and yelling.

F/n clapped along but kept an eye on me, knowing well something was wrong even though from the distance he was away from me.

Third Person's POV:

"Ah, Sho-chan... He's really standing on this stage.." One of Shoyo's friends said who had a nervous look on his face.

"Yea, but really, are his opponents actually high school students?!" the boy next to him asked as F/n was practically eavesdropping on their conversation at this point... he can't help it, eavesdropping is in his nature. 

Once Daichi and Ushijima had shaken hands, the game began.

"Wow... there's tons of TV crews here.." Saeko said in amazement...

"Mm... It must explain why Y/n looks so pale and nervous.." Yachi mumbled seeing that she was observing Y/n's strange behavior...

"Really? Ah right, you told me he doesn't like having cameras on him correct?" Saeko looked at the shorter girl and blinked.

Yachi nodded his head, "Yea... he didn't like it at all that his face is shown on TV, last time it did, he drove himself to the corner of the room, refusing to face anyone with a gloomy look."

"Yikes, I feel bad for him, but he's got to get use to it somehow right?" Saeko asked.

"Nah.. think of Y/n as deer in a headlights," F/n chimed in, "if Y/n knows there are cameras on him or even look at the camera, he's mind goes blank and the stress eats him up.."
