Here's a short FanFiction I just wrote, out of an idea I had a few minutes ago… hope you like it!
I love you more than…

Robin Sherbatsky was at the shooting range, crying her eyes out as her gun fired for the sixth time. She stopped for a moment, leaning on the table to keep balance.
"Robin?"
Her breath was suddenly lost… why was he there? Barney Stinson was the last person she wanted to see in that moment. She turned towards him, taking her protective glasses and earmuffs off.
"Yes, Barney?"
"Robin, have you been crying?" he asked with true concern in his voice.
"Yes, Barney I have been crying! And you wanna know why?" he was taken off guard as she started to scream, pointing at him. "Because I'm an idiot!"
"Robin, what are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about how stupid I am to still care for you! I'm here, crying my eyes out because you are happy with someone who is not me-"
"Robin…"
"I love you Barney!" she was mad, both at him and at herself "I can't help it." she opened her hands in defeat "And I'm here thinking about how much you love another woman."
He just stared at her, not blinking, not talking… too shocked to reply.
"Isn't that true, Barney? Don't you love her?" she held her breath, desperate to be proven wrong .
His face grew serious and determined as he spoke
"I do, I do love her." he admitted and she breath out "When I talk to her she understands me, when I kiss her I know I want her, when I ask her to do it in that weird position we saw our Korean neighbors do it on Friday-" Robin smiled through tears -damn him- he could always make her smile "-she says yes. I love her Robin, but-"
"Ok, then… I guess I should go now..." she interrupted quickly, not daring to look at him as she collected purse and turned around to walk away.
"Robin, wait… I'm not done."
"Listen, this is kind of weird… I'm very happy about you two, ok? But I will not stand here listening to you go on and on about how much you're in love…" she nervously moved back and forth, still not looking at him, scared to see pity in his eyes.
"Robin… look at me." he touched her chin, forcing her to look at him. She let out a breath as he did so: with just a touch he could make her do anything "Robin…" he went on, caressing tears away from her porcelain skin "don't cry."
"Oh, damn you, Barney!" the magic was broken and she quickly moved away "How am I supposed not to cry? I just told you I'm in love with you, and you- " she was screaming now, her voice breaking through sobs.
"Robin!" his tone was imperative, unmovable "I love you too…"
"What!" her pitched tone left no doubts: she was getting mad, very mad.
"I'm in love with you, Robin" he was the desperate one, now "I don't even need to talk to you, kiss you or ask you anything to know I love you."
She was just opening and closing her mouth, speechless.
"Nora is great. But you are just… awesome!" she laughed again.
"Barney, you're just saying this things to make me feel better… but please, don't. I'm gonna be ok." she lied and put a fake smile on her face.
"No, Robin, I'm serious here. I'd choose you over anyone. You say the word, and I'm yours."
"Barney…" she stared at her shoes.
"Robin…" he mocked her, half-smiling, causing her to look at him again. "You're my dream girl.." he stated, chuckling and moving towards her.
"So… you love me, then." she said with a dreamy face, taking a step forward.
"Yes, I do."
"Do you really love me?" she asked, taking hold of his tie.
"Yes, I do." he leaned forward, yearning to kiss her, but she moved her face away.
"How much do you love me?"
He let out an exhausted breath as he cupped her cheeks and whispered
"Robin Sherbatsky, I love you more than suits."
