#This story isn't exactly pure romance, so check the content warnings below the blurb before reading.
Chiba Ruri had been in poor health since childhood.
Her doctor said she couldn't handle major stimulation. Extreme emotional swings were dangerous for her.
They could kill her.
She wasn't allowed to fall in love or do strenuous exercise, or anything else that might keep her from breathing calmly.
"It's all for your own good." Under that kind of psychological pressure, Chiba Ruri's eyesight started to fail, too.
Her world became black and white... and her memory got terrible.
At last, one day, she decided to give up on her stagnant life.
She wanted to be a normal person, to fall in love, exercise, or argue... anything at all.
Miya Osamu clearly remembered turning off the "Open" sign at Onigiri Miya, but the unfamiliar girl still walked into the shop while he was taking out the trash through the back door.
Tch, was her eyesight so bad she couldn't tell what a turned-off "Open" sign meant?
She apologized and offered to pay him back... She'd been so hungry and had waited so long for the owner that she'd eaten one of the rice balls left on the table outside.
Osamu took a look. Oh, it was the late-night snack he'd made for himself.
Before he could figure out how to kick her out, the girl suddenly pointed at the volleyball match on TV and asked if that setter was him.
Osamu glanced at Atsumu on the screen and raised an eyebrow.
Ever since they'd dyed their hair different colors, nobody had mixed them up.
What was she getting at?
But Chiba Ruri didn't notice anything wrong. Her eyes simply lit up as she said, "You're really good at volleyball."
"Can I get to know you?"
Osamu froze.

The first time Miya Atsumu met Chiba Ruri, he was eating at a restaurant with his cousin.
Then a white-haired girl who claimed to be his girlfriend suddenly walked up to him and demanded to know why he'd told her he was on a business trip, only to eat with another woman here.
Chiba Ruri asked as calmly as she could, "Are you cheating on me?"
Atsumu was confused. He explained that he didn't know her at all, but his cousin, convinced he was bullying the girl, slapped him.
He was even more confused.
Damn it, he had to get revenge!
But before Atsumu could do anything, the girl in front of him slapped him too, then fainted before he did.
Atsumu: ...

Later, Atsumu saw intimate photos of Chiba Ruri and Osamu on Osamu's phone and finally understood what had happened.
But by then, Chiba Ruri had already been his girlfriend for a long time.
They'd kissed, hugged... and slept together.
So what?
They were twins, after all.
Twins are twins. That's just how they are: everything has to be fair and equal.
When they were little, they had to wear the same clothes and get the same toys. If one was treated even a little differently, they'd throw a huge fit.
Then, when they grew up, if one of them fell in love, the other would want to as well.
If one of them had a romance, the other had to have one too.
Even... the person they loved had to be the same.
#Content Warnings:
This is my take on the twins. Don't base it on the real people.
The heroine's illness is also something I made up. Don't base it on anything real.
This is a twins sandwich, so the heroine dates both twins, and has sex with both of them, but never at the same time (I'm just trying to survive here).
The foxes are pretty awful at first. One pretends to be the other and tricks the heroine into falling for him. After she dumps him once, he straightens up.
There are separate ending routes, and both twins get a happy ending package~
I'm sure there'll be some OOC, so I'm bowing down in advance (thud, thud, thud).
About the advance reservations:
This audacious little author will fantasize about anyone, so there'll probably be lots of volleyball otome stories. You can follow the author's page directly. If there isn't one you want, leave a comment telling me which volleyball boy you'd like to read about!

Theme: Love itself doesn't hurt people, but it needs to be expressed in the right way.
