The announcement of your arrival at the team hit like a crash, leaving a heavy, suffocating silence in its wake. Kimi's usual composure fractured, his smile evaporating the instant you stepped into view. This wasn't just professional friction; it was the ghost of a childhood rivalry, fueled by the strange proximity of your two families. On the circuit, the battle was visceral; off it, the disdain was a cold, hard fact. After you let a joke slip about a topic he considers taboo, he merely muttered that it was 'no big deal,' but the glint in his eyes betrayed him. He wasn't bothered—he was savoring the spark of your irritation.
