"That #16... You guys haven't seen him before?"

"No."

[y/n] gulped down his water, before using the back of his hand to wipe his mouth.

Is Coach Ukai going to ask him to switch out with Tanaka for the second set? Did anyone even realised [y/n]'s terrible gameplay.

He contemplated asking Ukai-san to switch him out himself, glancing at his teammates. It would be for the better if he was switched out and given time to recompose himself. He was obviously doing more worse than good.

Fallen Angel.

[y/n]'s grip on his bottle tighten. It was like junior high all over again, wasn't it. A coward will always be a coward.

With his mind made up, [y/n] walked towards Coach Ukai, mentally preparing the words. As he got closer, he got more nervous. [y/n] clenched his fists, digging his nails into the palm of his hands. It's either this or risk losing.

What's the worse that can happen?

"Coach," [y/n] started, grabbing his team's attention. "Can you switch me out with-"

"No!"

[y/n]'s eyes widened in surprise when Kageyama shouted unexpectedly. Kageyama's face was scrunched up in anger. [y/n] could hear desperation laced in his tone.

"We need you in the court." He continued, voice softer this time.

"No you don't. It's... obvious my gameplay is worse this game. The next set will be better off with Tanaka instead of me...."

Kageyama gripped his shoulders and shook him, shocking [y/n]. Asahi stepped in and tried to stop the two from breaking into a fight. Tanaka was saying something along the line of 'your enemy is on the other side of the net, not here'.

Both of them ignored Tanaka and Asahi.

"You're thinking about it again, aren't you?! How useless you are, what a coward."

[y/n] paled drastically. His breath hitched in his throat, and he could feel it coming.

"You're not wrong! You're a coward!"

"Oi... guys, calm down..." Sugawara started.

"You're selfish," Kageyama continued, ignoring Sugawara as well. "You're too blind to see that we need you."

It took a while before [y/n] managed to get back his voice. He pushed Kageyama's hands off. "You don't need me. Karasuno is strong without me."

Kageyama didn't say anything. [y/n] took this as his chance to tell Coach Ukai what he had originally wanted to ask him. "Coach, I want to switch out with Tanaka for the second set."

"Please, [y/n]..."

Why? Why was Kageyama so desperate to the point he was pleading for [y/n] to stay? It was obvious it won't do the team any good with [y/n] being on the court right now, especially against that #16.

It annoyed [y/n], the more he thought about it. Kageyama wants to win, he would do anything to win.

"I will only toss to those who I think are useful!"

He was the King of the Court for a reason. A ruthless dictator that will use his teammates like pawns to win.

"Faster!"

Who is this Kageyama? Standing in front of him?

'It's not him.'

'It's not him.'
