[A four page comic drawn in dark graphite on lightly textured paper.

Page One: In light pencil lines, Yamato is drawn sitting on his bed in only his sleeveless undershirt and boxer-briefs. Behind him is a closed window, and numerous framed pictures hang on the walls. He is gripping one of his upper thighs and looking at it contemplatively. A caption/title box in the upper left says "Testosterone Tuesdays"

In the three panels following he grips the flesh of his thigh gently with one hand, and with a focused expression, proceeds to give himself an intramuscular shot.

"YO! Tenzo!" Appears in an exclamation balloon behind him, jolting Yamato out of his quiet moment, as Kakashi slides open the window and climbs into the apartment beside him.

Page Two: "Knock!" Yamato demands, "Flare your chakra! This isn't anbu anymore, we're civilized shinobi!" His posture is tight and defensive as Kakashi settles down next to him, but he's still got left hand up with the syringe in it.

Kakashi eyes the syringe neutrally. "Oh, is it shot-day?" He asks in large text, followed by a much fainter "I've been forgetting to do mine."

"Really? Again?" Yamato asks, letting his guard down nearly immediately.

Kakashi shrugs with smile that looks a bit more like a wince. "Eh. I have trouble making time for it."

"Do you...want to be off?" Yamato asks.

"No. I didn't realize I'd walked into an interrogation," Kakashi replies pointedly.

"It's only fair to counter an ambush with an ambush," says Yamato.

Page three: Yamato bends forward, reaching towards the floor, presumably to clean up his supplies. "Well, if you can't remember, then we can do it on the same day," he offers. "I rarely forget."

"What, like a testosterone shot social?" Kakashi asks lightly.

"Sure," Yamato says, picking up and moving his home sharps container. "I'll just invite myself over for T."

"Invite yourself over for T?"

"Well, it's not happening here. You'll just make a game of trying to scare me shitless," Yamato points out.

Page Four: Yamato stands up, still in his undershirt and boxer briefs, stretching, face a little scrunched. He clasps his arms behind his head, one elbow up, the other down.

"What did you come here for anyway?" He asks.

Kakashi smiles again, waving a scroll in one hand. "Mission time."

"Augh. Shit."

#comics #my art #naruto #yamato #tenzō #yamato tenzo #kakashi #cw needles #cw shots #this is marginally based on a time in 2018 when me and my brother were on the same schedule-one shot every two weeks. on a tuesday #so i would get to wish him a ''happy T tuesday!'' and it was good and fun and nice bc he was at the other side of the country #but we did have this thing. this weird and funny trans thing to do by some miracle on the same day #ough i miss being on t #anyway #kakashi doesn't actually ''forget'' about the t shot—hes actually pretty good about remembering dates and times and schedules #anniversaries etc. but. the t shot is something which is meaningful to him and which like. is a positive. #it is a small medical task which allows him a bit more control over himself and comfort #but unfortunately when things Get Bad mentally he struggles w/ the impulse to deny himself things which are even a small comfort #this is why when kakashi says hes been forgetting. yamato says ''really? again?'' bc hes familiar with this #kakashi was probably even worse about this back in anbu when he was even less stable. this is also why kakashi gets prickly #about yamato asking. he Knows hes Being Seen and hes subtextually like. ''hey. lay off.'' and yamato is like ''yeah yeah ill lay off...'' #''BUT have you considered laying off on ME? rude rude man?'' but he does lay off and instead of questioning just offers support #because for all the things yamato has issue with...taking a t shot is not one. the euphoria of being able to claim his body in this way #would far outweigh any impulse to punish himself just bc of his personal relationship to his body #neither of them love needles and yamato does have to work himself up to do the injection [which is why he doesnt even notice kakashi] #but its fine. ultimately its fine. #also im having fun with the ''come over for tea/T'' puns. i think theyre fun
