Picture Perfect Moment-

Little big things that didn't make it to Lily's photo album.


Moment 1

"It was literally amazing!" Robin exclaimed, eyes lighting up in that special sparkle that she saved for the moments when she was talking about how great her country was, like that particular moment. She looked at her friends, smiling enthusiastically, and waiting for their lovely ("they never were") comments.

No 'uhhs' and 'aahs' came. ("It was an AHHHH situation actually.")

"You mean figuratively", responded a visibly bored Ted, sitting beside her, fidgeting uncontrollably, looking like he would fall asleep any minute, but polite enough to hold back the yawn, well, for another five seconds.

"What? You guys didn't like the story?" Robin asked in disbelief. "I thought you'd love it!" ("She didn't think that. She had hoped for that.)

"Don't be upset Robin." Barney consoled. "This has happened to me before one time when I was picking up this girl who made me go *that weird noise with head shaking* with her cheeks, and I'm not talking about the face. You should have seen me-"

"-What relevance does this have to my story?" asked Robin impatiently.

Barney took a sip from his wine, raising an eyebrow at her. "What story?"

Robin sighed. "Okay, so maybe you didn't like this story. But I could tell you another one. You'd love this story." ("We didn't.")

That's when Ted's head dropped to her shoulder, his eyes closed. Robin titled her head slightly, ready to yell at him for falling asleep on her story. But when she looked at him, she noticed how he was sleeping so peacefully, looking so exhausted.

"He's been grading papers literally the whole week." She whispered softly, placing her head over his and smiling softly, her silky locks spilling over his face, tickling his nose. ("Actually, I had been going through the letters I had written for my future self.")

"Aww." Barney cooed. "Goodnight Grandma and Grandpa. Hope you have a good night's sleep. I gotta go grade girls now." He mocked.

Robin bit back the retort. The moment was too perfect.


(A/N: I'm writing for my favorite couple because there aren't so many fanfic about them! This is my first try, so it'd be great if you would review and point out the flaws. Please tell me if you like it and if I should continue. Thank you for reading.)
