"JUST STOP IT!" You heard the voice again but this time it was a lot clearer and eventually you found the source of the noise. Standing in the middle of a walkway was Tsukishima and Yamaguchi but instead of walking to a certain location they seemed to be arguing. Yamaguchi had grabbed Tsukishima's collar and looked really tense and upset with his taller best friend. "You're being lame lately!" Tsukishima's face had shock written all over it and you couldn't even believe what was coming from Yamaguchi's mouth right now. Yamaguchi was always so kind and reserved but you soon remembered that even if you bottle everything up it'll all come crumbling down eventually.

Tsukishima's face tenses and his hands clench into fists before he bursts out. "There's always someone better than you so you'll never actually be number one!!" He shouts back in Yamaguchi's face but the olive haired male is quick on his feet and manages to retort.

"What else do we need besides pride?!" Yamaguchi practically had steam coming out of his ears and his breathing was all over the place. You wanted to step in to calm them down because he was biting down so hard on his lip you were scared he was going to pierce through the skin but you decided to stay out of it, it wasn't your place to be eavesdropping anyway.

You scurried away and soon found yourself standing outside of gym two. The sound of balls cascading to the ground evidently told you that someone was practicing inside but you had no clue who until you took a few more steps and peeked past the door. Inside the gym was Ennoshita, Kinoshita, Narita, Asahi and last but not least Nishinoya. Everyone but Nishinoya was spiking the ball over the net and this was because he was running up to the front line and jumping just before it to try and set it but from the few attempts you watched from outside he wasn't quite there yet.

"Oh hello there Y/n-Chan" Ennoshita's soothing voice caught you off guard as you were so focused on watching Nishinoya you forgot about everything else going on around you.

You take off your shoes and step into the gym, not forgetting to leave your shoes by the door outside. "Hello Ennoshita-senpai, I don't mean to intrude I was just passing by and got lost in my thoughts" you rubbed the back of your neck, worried about whether they were going to send you away or something.

Ennoshita chuckles before patting your shoulder lightly. "No need to feel that way Y/n, you aren't intruding at all we all enjoy your company don't we guys?" He raises his voice so that the others hear him and when they do they all nod and smile. The one person who you wanted to see smile though didn't. Nishinoya was visibly exhausted but he wasn't going to give it a rest anytime soon, and for the first time in a while you felt a bit annoyed. You had no idea if that was the word the describe how you were feeling but you were very worried to say the least.

This feeling of worry had been within you ever since the first day at this camp and it was currently only the second day so you felt dizzy just thinking about how much more the whole team were going to endure before taking a step back. You were kinda confused as to why Coach Ukai wasn't saying anything but he has authority over you and knows much more about volleyball so you weren't going to question his silence.

You were so deep in your thoughts that you didn't notice the group had gotten back to practicing but just as Nishinoya was about to land from attempting to set the ball his leg gave way and his body fell to the floor with a loud 'THUMP'. You snap out of it and your pupils instantly contract from seeing Nishinoya's unconscious body slumped on the floor. After running over to him you lightly tap his face and realise that he isn't waking up anytime soon and he needs some serious rest, so you ask the group to help take him back to their shared room and you would be with them as soon as you could.

When you eventually made it to their room you arrived with a small damp towel, a fresh bottle of water and some snacks you discovered from a nearby vending machine. The had rolled out Nishinoya's futon and laid him in it before tucking the duvet around his sides. You could see him breathing as if he were sleeping and not passed out so this put you somewhat at ease.

You tip toed over and put the stuff down by his head before kneeling next to him. The others started to ask why you were in there but Asahi and Ennoshita explained so they accepted your presence. "Did he wake up at all?" You whisper to Kinoshita who just shakes his head from side to side with a frown on his face. He's really pushed himself to the limit...

You sigh and fold the towel up and place it on his forehead, making sure his hair was out the way so it only came into contact with his forehead. Despite the situation you had to admit he was kinda cute when he slept. The gel from his hair wasn't there anymore so it was hanging down and clinging to the pillow, and his mouth was open a tiny bit so some snores could be heard but they weren't loud enough to disrupt everyone. It was strange. For someone so upbeat and energetic when they were awake to be so quiet when they were asleep baffled you. You sat down properly and crossed your legs as your index finger drew circles on the back of his hand. Something in your mind was telling you to leave the room to let everyone rest but your heart didn't want to leave him, it needed to know that he would be okay.

"Y/n?" Asahi's quiet voice interrupted your thoughts and you were brought back to reality, he had his hand on your shoulder and had a worried expression on his face. "You should go to bed, it's late and I promise we'll look after him" you nod and stand up but before you leave you have to ask him something.

"What will happen tomorrow?"

"We'll make sure he stays here to rest so don't worry" you feel content with his answer so you nod and leave. Please be okay... you had a feeling you were worrying a bit too much but that's just who you were, you couldn't help it.

When morning came you did your usual routine of getting up, getting dressed and brushing your teeth but another thing was added to the list today: visiting Nishinoya.

You waiting until the rest of the team had gone before entering and when you did you saw Nishinoya sat up, sulking and munching on the snacks you bought last night. "How're you feeling?" He jumps slightly at your question as he didn't know you were there but he relaxes after realising it was you.

"Terrible but I need to recover quickly, I need to get back on the court"

"No you don't!" You yelled. You haven't yelled in years so this was surprising to both you and Nishinoya. "S-sorry..." you cross your arms and look down at the ground, nervousness overwhelming you. "I didn't mean to yell but it's just kind of annoying me how you keep pushing yourself...isn't what happened last night a good excuse to take it easy?" At this point you had managed to muster up the courage to look him in the eyes again and you may or may not have regretted the decision. He was looking at you like you were someone he had never met before.

He put the small packet down and ruffled some of his hair before huffing out. "Don't apologise I totally understand why you're angry but I need to work harder so we can make it to nationals" you wanted to grab his shoulders and shake him violently but instead your took a deep breath and walked over to him, kneeling beside him.

"I know you'll all be able to make it to nationals but don't push yourself so hard that your body can't handle it okay?" He picks up the packet again and nods before offering you some. For the rest of the day you kept him company and the two of you grew closer as you learnt more about each other. Everyday you spend together makes you feel like you can trust him more and more, and it's getting to the point where the butterflies in your stomach are becoming impossible to ignore.
