"kakashi likes to mess with you," hayate says fondly, though he can hardly think about kakashi when tenzo— yamato, now, he supposes, but they both know hayate will only call him that in public— is still standing so broad and bare faced before him. the fabric of the blues stretch taut over his biceps, and probably over his chest too, if hayate pulled down that pesky little zipper on his vest.
he doesn't, not yet, but he does step forward until he's close enough to catch the metal tab between his fingers. "yamato, huh? yamato-taichou, specifically. what do you think of that?"
probably nothing, because tenzo won't waste his time on it, but hayate always likes to ask anyway. plus, it gives him a reason to let his other hand lift up, settling on tenzo's bicep to dig his fingers in just so. just to feel.
