Story title: Making Up

Chapter title: It's easy to talk to you

Characters: Barney & Robin

Description: This is a series of short stories of why Barney and Robin don't apologize for the things they say and do. I always thought because we know that Barney and Robin don't love to talk about their feelings but what if early on in the series they do talk about their feelings. But, not feelings for each other, no this story starts at the time "Zip, Zip, Zip" happened and continues to the present day where I take the things I see between my OTP on the show and try to explain why they do and say these things they do.

As all of you know Barney and Robin a two people who have been through a lot in their lives and some people seem to not realize this as they watch the show.

Author Note: I have noticed how a lot of fans of this show seem to take the things these characters do and say too literally (I know we love to get mad at any show but I love this show so much that I feel I need to explain how this is not a drama it's a comedy/sitcom despite no audience). These 5 characters are people who any one of us would probably know in real life and sometimes the things they do on the show can be a little out there but I watch this show for the fun of it and because I love Comedies mostly I watch this show for the silly/funny things they do. I do not own anything with this show!

Zip,Zip,Zip:

Both Barney Stinson and Robin Scherbatsky have always been two emotionally equipped people (well, that's what their friends think they are but really do they know the Real Barney Stinson and the Real Robin Scherbatsky no they don't). From the moment they first talked to each other to years later when they realized that love, commitment, and friendship isn't so bad once you have all three things in a relationship they instantly combined to make two people, from two completely different worlds and lives come together in a small group of 3 best friends who have known each other since college.

Well, when you have 3 people who are so close they even share quite more each other than most close best friends do. However, when you meet someone who seems to want or in Barney and Robin's cases didn't know they wanted it until they found what they wanted. Needs and Wants: they are two words that don't describe Barney's life or even Robin's life. Growing up with parents who seemed to be their but were never really their for their own children emotionally can mess with you so much that when you get older it makes all those feelings and emotions you seem to not want or need turn out to mess with your adult life as well. For most people dealing with your own battles in life, well it's just that, dealing. You can try so hard to push those feeling and emotions you are constantly fighting in your heart and in you mind away but that usually doesn't solve any problem a human being has. In, life, it brings you so many things: love, hate, pain, joy, happiness, anger, regret, no regrets, fun, drama, comedy and sometimes all of these emotions can form together and create all the feelings you wish you never had.

"It was fun hanging out with you today."

"I had a fun time."

Barney and Robin had been playing Battleship for almost an hour getting to know one another better and boy Robin did find out more about the ever so to-the-point Barney Stinson. Yes, she had gotten to know some things about him already and she wouldn't actually say this out loud right now. But, when she first met Barney she actually thought he was charming and quite funny too. They shared a laugh or two over scotches within the first few months of meeting each other and Robin even though she hates sharing anything with anyone. Admits that Barney Stinson is an ok guy and once you get to know him better he's actually not like he seems in the public eye.

"I'm sorry I stripped for you earlier it's just that when I get called back to a woman's place I tend to think she's ready for sex. I didn't mean to embarrass myself or you."
"Oh, no it's ok. It was embarrassing, I actually did the same thing once when I was in my early twenties. I was at this club one night back in Canada yeah yeah I know Canada right? (this is the first time she had told anyone she was Canadian). I found this guy so hot that I was willing to do things I didn't intend to do and well..."

"I get it, we all can be a little overly sexual but it's harmless and again I'm sorry I did that earlier."

"No, don't apologize I'm really over it now. Besides, I thought what you said about how much we have in common was true and it is in many ways."

That's the moment when Barney and Robin's new found friendship turned a little more into attraction. But, of course nobody was going to say anything and or do anything but it was still a good way to break the ice so-to-speak between two people who just became more than friends.
