"Haikyuu: A Twin's Choice"

13- Hello Karasuno!

Kageyama's jaw clenched as he felt a surge of frustration building up. He had worked hard to shed the reputation associated with the "King of the Court" nickname, and Sora's comments hit a nerve. He took a deep breath, trying to maintain his composure, but the irritation still simmered beneath the surface.

Sora's playful smirk persisted, and he continued to prod at Kageyama, seemingly enjoying getting a reaction. "Come on, Kageyama, embrace it! Kings are supposed to be strong and confident, right?"

When Sora read the manga, he didn't like how Kageyama acted so arrogant. He knew the author gave Kageyama that attitude on purpose to show character development later, but it reminded him of the cocky opponents he faced during his time in his previous life.

Shoyo, stepped in, his hand on Sora's shoulder to diffuse the tension. "Aniki, I don't know what the rumors are, but I think it's not a good idea to piss off one of our teammates."

Shoyo couldn't help but feel a sense of unease as he observed his twin brother, Sora, taunting Kageyama. It was indeed an unusual behavior for Sora, who had always been known for his kindness and easygoing nature, even in the face of adversity. Shoyo had seen Sora deal with bullies and difficult situations with remarkable patience and a smile.

"What's your problem?" Kageyama asked as he looked directly at Sora's gaze.

Sora smirked as he successfully got a reaction from Kageyama.

"From the short time we faced off in Inter-junior high, I was impressed that your team was patient to put up a setter like you," Sora smirked as he walked past Kageyama to approach the volleyball. "I know I couldn't."

As soon as Sora picked up the volleyball, he casually tossed it from hand to hand, a mischievous glint in his eyes. His tone carried a sharp edge as he continued to taunt Kageyama.

"Speaking of patience," Sora said, his voice laced with sarcasm, "I couldn't help but notice that match you lost. It was a real spectacle, wasn't it? Your teammates must have had the patience of saints to put up with your... quirks."

Kageyama's frustration finally reached a breaking point, and his normally controlled demeanor slipped. His eyes flashed with anger, and he couldn't stand Sora's taunts any longer. In a sudden move, he closed the distance between them in a few quick strides and grabbed Sora's collar, his fingers gripping the fabric tightly.

Sora's smug expression remained intact as he had expected this reaction from Kageyama. He had a history of being a competitive and spirited player, and he knew how to push buttons when he wanted to. His confidence didn't waver even as Kageyama's grip tightened on his collar.

Shoyo, on the other hand, was in a state of shock. His eyes widened, and he felt a surge of panic wash over him as he witnessed the sudden escalation. He knew that he had to do something to prevent the situation from spiraling out of control, but his instincts warred with his uncertainty about how to defuse the tension between his new teammates.

Sora and Kageyama's locked eyes seemed to convey a silent challenge, each refusing to back down. It was a battle of wills, pride, and determination, all playing out in that intense moment of confrontation.

Kageyama, with a controlled exhale, loosened his grip on Sora's collar. His fingers gradually relaxed, and he stepped back, putting some distance between them. The tension that had hung in the air began to dissipate as the immediate threat of a physical confrontation subsided.

"We're lucky to have Kitagawa Daiichi's setter and the twins of Yukigoaka!"

Luckily, they heard three unfamiliar voices that managed to ease the tension further.
