Author's note: This fic is based off of the head-canon pick on the BRotp spot on fanpop. I wrote about the scenario Laura liked best. Original idea to the owner of course. Laura SS gift #2!
"So is this like a casual thing?" Robin screamed to her husband from her closet trying desperately to make her voice reach his suit room. It was taking the newlyweds time to adjust to their new apartment and living situation.
"It's an I-don't-care-what-you-wear-because-no-matter-what-I'll-still-have-the-hottest-girl-in-the-room type of thing." Barney yelled back while trying on different ties.
Robin blushed and laughed at how childish Barney could still be. When the two finally decided on their wardrobes, Robin in a sophisticated black dress and Barney in a suit and tie to match, they made their way to Robin's first GNB function. She'd been to a couple with the rest of the gang but this was the first time it would be just her and Barney. She felt the butterflies of nerves rising in her stomach although she wasn't sure why.
After a brief yet hot and heavy make-out session in the elevator ride up, the duo made their entrance. Naturally, they made their way to the bar and as luck would have it, that's where Barney's boss stood with a few colleagues. After brief hellos between the co-workers, Barney said, "And you all know my wife, Robin, don't you?"
The term "wife" took Robin by surprise. She'd never heard Barney call her that yet it felt as if he'd been saying it for years. Robin felt a warm glow overcome her as she had to physically stop herself from grinning while she greeted the men in front of her. As Barney continued to converse with them, Robin wondered to herself if he regularly referred to her as "his wife" and couldn't help but beam with happiness at the thought. She could never let him know but the title of Mrs. Stinson, Barney's wife, it just felt so right on her. Occasionally throughout the night, Robin would simply rub Barney's ring and they would share a small smile. Both quite aware of just how lucky they were.
