Day 2: Cuddling Somewhere
Robin walked back towards the booth, caring a scotch for her and Barney each. The rest of the gang had yet to arrive, leaving the couple to their own devices.
It was unusual, lately, for them to find time alone. After they'd returned from their honeymoon, their friends were quick to bring them back into the loop. They had missed so much in those two weeks, that they were still being caught up to speed. This, of course, meant that Lily, Marshall, and Ted were constantly around to tell another story.
And while the two didn't mind all that much, Robin now found herself grateful for these few minutes for just her and Barney. She returned to her seat next to him, placing their drinks on the table.
Barney took a sip immediately, murmuring a thanks as he gave Robin a peck on the lips. She smiled in return, holding her glass idly. Robin listened as Barney told a story about something that had happened at work, easily nestling against his chest.
They were not big on cuddling- Robin liked to have her space, and Barney preferred to be more active- but this was nice. It wasn't much, but it was comfortable, just having her leaning into him as he stroked her hair.
