[DAMN SENPAI. SMOOTH MOVE!! or at least Akira would think that if he had any idea what was going on in Minato's head right now]
[either way, he gives a quick nod and slide sup behind Minato again, arms snaking around the other wild card's sides to grab a hold of the cue stick so he can fix Minato's stance]
Hold it more like this, yeah? With your hand-- here.
There's nothing for him here along these lines, and even if Akira is cute and nice and he feels like he has a special connection with him... he shouldn't be enjoying this sort of closeness just to enjoy it.
... .... ........ ahem. ]
Right... okay.
[ just for now, though... it's okay, isn't it?
Akira adjusts his grip and posture, and once it's all set... he shoots.

[coming up behind Minato to correct the way he's holding his cue stick]

Minato will be pliant for Akira's adjusting, but he is... a little... aware of how close they are now. ]
... Right. Well... I'll have to keep practicing, then.
... Thanks for fixing my form, but isn't it your turn now?
no subject
[eh!!! they don't have to play a real game!! Akira can teach Minato how to shoot instead]
[when he's done correcting Minato's posture, he draws back]
Try again?
no subject
[ he will... try again! Once Akira's done.
This time, the ball they were aiming for... bounces right next to the hole, nearly goes in, and then comes back the other way. ]
... Huh, that was much closer. One more time?
no subject
It's in a better position now, too. I'm sure you'll sink it on the next shot.
no subject
[ .................................... well. ]
... Could you help me make sure I'm aiming just right again?
[ does he explicitly need this? No. Is it nice to have Akira so close? Y...yes. ]

He knows better.

Right... okay.

Akira adjusts his grip and posture, and once it's all set... he shoots.
And the ball... goes in! ]
... Not bad, Akira.
no subject
Not bad, senpai.
[. . . it was like, a super easy shot, but WHO CARES MINATO DID IT]
no subject
And since my shot went in... I get to try again, right?
[ he's going to try to line up his next shot...! His posture and form are a bit better, but the direction he's aiming in is still not quite right. ]

Carefully adjusts with the tap...
And fires!
The ball... almost but not quite makes it. It bounces out of the inside of the hole and Minato's shoulders slump. ]
Aw...
no subject
[clasps Minato's shoulders in a camaraderie-type way]
But hey, even the best miss their shots sometimes. That's just part of the game.
no subject
[ Minato just shrugs a little, clearly unbothered. ]
It's your turn now. Go ahead and show me how it's done.

[HONESTLY FROM HERE ON OUT THEY ARE PROBABLY JUST GOING TO KEEP PLAYING POOL SO, THREAD END?]
