Guy's Night Out
After everything that's been going on lately, the time has come for a break. A planned visit from a friend is just the thing and with no major crisis going on at the moment, it's the perfect time to make that happen.
So, with an itinerary that includes science, food and video games, Barry is excited to bring Yamato in from Milliways for another trip to Central City.
Opening the door from the bar that's a broom closet in S.T.A.R. Labs, Barry gestures Yamato through.
"Here we are," Barry says with a smile. "Welcome back, dude."
The corridor, like most of rest of S.T.A.R. Labs that doesn't get used by Team Flash much, is usually pretty dimly lit, but today the passageway is bright in anticipation of their guest and the science that's about to commence.
Nodding down the hallway, Barry says, "Cisco and Caitlin are in her lab and we're all set up for you."

He steps aside, though, letting Cisco back at the beef.
"Guess so," he says to Barry, giving him a smile. "Hey, you're bound to end up somewhere with a larger kitchen eventually, after all."

"I'll get a new place at some point," Barry confirms to Yamato. "Just, y'know, between work and the superhero stuff and stuff at the Labs, not really focused on an apartment hunt."

"Yeah, your life's pretty damn packed already," he remarks to Barry. "No need to make it more complicated just yet."

"I'm guessing when you get into the academy you'll probably be living in some dorms or something, huh?" he asks Yamato.
no subject
He gives Barry a nod, moving the okonomiyaki from a pan to a plate. "If I get in, yeah, I'll be living in dorms. They look pretty nice, actually. Definitely worse places I could live."

"Right, 'if'," Barry says with a nod and in a tone that says he fully trusts that 'if' to be a 'when'. "Where is the academy?"
no subject
So proud of GP right now.
He gives Barry a quick smile, because his confidence in Yamato is definitely appreciated. "Just off the coast of Urayasu, so outside Tokyo but still in the bay area. Maybe about forty-five minutes away from Odaiba, give or take?"
So he's not moving all that far.

It's totally unfair!
"GP can't just cut in line and check off that achievement first!"
no subject
The shrieking from the bathroom feels like proof of this.
"That's cool. That's how I did it in college. Far enough away you can say you're out on your own, but close enough to drop in when you need to."
no subject
So happy for GP, though.
"Yeah, I can drop by and check up on Takeru. And most of the rest of the team are just moving to different parts of Tokyo, so they'll be pretty close by too."
no subject
"The takoyaki is done. With... most of them at least roundish?"
no subject
"What if I made you my rival?"
no subject
He starts getting out ingredients for that, and a glass jug to mix them in.
"I'm flattered, kid," he laughs. "But I already have a rival. I don't think Taichi would like me rival-ing with other people."

Hearing they're about ready to eat gets Barry smiling and he gives Yamato a nod.
"I'll get the table set."
no subject
He gives Barry a nod as well, and sets about mixing up the sauce. It's not a long or complicated job, and soon he's glazing the takoyaki with it, then sprinkling the bonito and pickled ginger over it.
And that's just about everything.
no subject
Cisco drops his voice into a gruff register, mimicking Yamato.

He throws a smile in Barry's direction, picking up as much of the food as he can carry.
"Food's ready too," he says.
no subject
no subject
"Looks great, I'd say we all did pretty good."
no subject
Yamato flashes a smile at Barry, letting him carry half the dishes while he takes the other half through.
"Yeah, we did," he says, setting the dishes down carefully. "Thanks for helping out, both of you, I really appreciate it."
