Yamato flapped a corner of it for emphasis, mildly surprised to see the older man out on new years, given his tendency to stay away from celebrations in general, but his tone was jovial and welcoming despite that.
There was a slur to his words, the sake and cool air doing their jobs of going straight to his head, but Kakashi was used to his occasional bouts of drunkenness, so Yamato felt no shame in sipping straight from the small bottle still in his hand and patting the roof slate beside him invitingly.
"Care to join me for the fireworks?"
Even muddled as he was, Yamato knew it was a long shot - Kakashi was probably just checking in to make sure he didn't injure himself - but alcohol made him nostalgic and seeing his former captain now, conjured a memory of fireworks seen through the eyes of his mask; both of them younger, with winter bearing down on slighter builds and thermal cloaks, but enjoying the display of lights despite the cold and the short straw of guard duty on new years eve.
Unsurprisingly, the memory warmed him more than the sake and a happy, closed eye smile touched his features, face turned up to Kakashi expectantly for his answer.
