A/N: I have no idea where this idea came from. The title is taken from Mika's song with the same name.
Happy Ending
"Robin, I love you." His voice was low, almost like a whisper. For months there was nothing Robin had wanted more than to hear him say those words. She had always imagined him saying it to her and then she would say it to him and they'd kiss. They'd get that happy ending she had wanted with him ever since they broke up. She had always imagined herself getting happy to hear those three words from him. Instead it broke her heart. He was lying on the ground with her hands pressed on his chest near his heart to try and stop more blood from flowing out of a bullet wound. There had been a robbery gone wrong and Barney had ended up getting shot. "Don't say that. Not now. You're gonna be okay. Everything is gonna be okay." She knew the ambulance wouldn't get there in time, but telling Barney she loved him too would make this seem so much more real and real was the last thing she wanted. "Robin..." he trailed off and Robin had to look at him to see if he was still living. To her surprise she saw him smiling. She missed his smile. He hardly smiled these days. Not a real smile anyway. This was real though. "What are you thinking of?" He was quiet for a while and at first she thought he hadn't heard her, but as she opened her mouth to ask him again he answered: "Us." His smile disappeared and tears welled up in his eyes. "I love..." He coughed. It was getting hard to talk... to breathe... to think... It was hard for him to do anything. "... you." This was it. This would be the last time ever she'd get to see him alive. Barney closed his eyes and Robin could feel her tears starting to fall. "Barney?" She had to know if he was alive or not. He opened his eyes again. "I love you too." She said and kissed him on the lips. When she pulled away he was smiling again. "I'll be waiting for you." He said before taking his last breath ever and closing his eyes for the last time.
