Disclaimer: I do not own these characters, just some clothes, a TV, a few Funkadelic, Marvin Gaye and Chris Isaak albums.

A/N This is first things I've written in 8 months, so forgive the rustiness. Just a collection of short

pieces on you know what and you know whom.

I should really do these in chronological order but I've just been jotting down stuff as and

when they come to me. Enjoy ( hopefully )

Ever Fallen in Love with Someone

Tease

Barney Stinson liked to tease. No let me correct that. Barney Stinson loved to tease. Friends, colleagues, children and old people, especially old people. In fact just about anybody. He didn't care, he just really loved to tease.

So what was this feeling every time he teased her. Every little joke he'd make at her expense, every little wink, every suggestion.

And oh boy, when they both teased Ted, he became positively giddy. This was not the giddiness a grown man should exhibit, this was positively child like. Sure on the outside he would try to remain cool, adult-like even but it wouldn't take long before he broke down like a three year old. But inside, that unexplainable feeling would be there again. Tenfold.

Amidst all the laughs, this feeling really did start to puzzle him. Was this natural?

He consulted numerous medical encyclopedias. Watched countless episodes of Scrubs, Quincy and ER. He never got any closer to the answer, the only realisation he made was that George Clooney didn't have a patch on Barney Stinson. No accounting for taste he figured.

Well if the world had not yet acknowledge the existence of this condition, he, Barney Stinson would take it upon himself to enlighten them.
