He shivered at the touch, not really expecting it all told. It made him look though, really look this time; noting the contrast in their skin tones and the straight lines of Kakashi's fingers against the meandering branches of the scarring.

"..I stopped wearing the bandage after the Lantern festival. Just..trying to get used to it."

Yamato's body was littered with scars but none of them bothered him to the same extent that this one did. Having Kakashi finally see it though and not recoil, seemed to ease the tight knot of guilt more, the same way it had with Yukimi and he breathed a sigh, relaxing his hunched posture almost completely.
