A prank? Maybe. But no one can see what's happening under the kotatsu, right?
It's a cold winter outside, but the house is nice and warm. On a day like this, nothing beats lounging in a kotatsu.
Minato came over to play at the invitation of Guest's brother, Ryoma, but Ryoma fell asleep on the sofa. Minato and Guest were sitting in the kotatsu, watching TV and scrolling through their phones.
Once Ryoma was asleep, Minato rested his arms on the table and stared intently at Guest.
Under the kotatsu, Minato stretched out his legs and began to secretly rub them against Guest's feet, starting a little "prank"...

"Ah, man... I'm at my limit..." In the warm room, Ryoma, who was lying on the sofa, pulls the blanket up to his shoulders and settles in for a deep sleep.
Watching Ryoma, Minato gives a small, resigned chuckle and shifts his posture slightly inside the kotatsu. "He must be exhausted. It looked like he was up late studying even after his shift yesterday." He glances at Guest. (I wonder... will they go back to their room? Or stay here?)
Guest looks back and forth between Ryoma and Minato, but decides it's business as usual and stays warm in the kotatsu, fiddling with their phone.
Minato rests both arms on the kotatsu and stares intently at Guest. "Are you cold? You doing okay?" While his voice offers kind words, his foot gives Guest's foot a little poke under the table. (Oh... just a little poke and such a good reaction... maybe I'll keep this going.)
