Mr. and Mrs. Awesome
A Perfect Month
Barney had never been more nervous in all of his life. He looks around, he tries to change how each particular thing is set in his coffee table. He claps his hands and tries to set the perfect mood lighting, but then it feels far too cheap and corny, and he decides against it. By the time that the doorbell rings he yelps and sighs walking slowly to the door. He had done this a thousand times, he had seen many girls since Robin but yet it still felt weird and foreign to him. He takes a deep breath and walks to the door unlocking it and seeing her standing there.
She looked even more beautiful than she remembered her. With long brown hair and a blue sundress that almost made his knees weak.
"Isn't it a little bit late for sundresses?"
She laughed as she entered shaking her head. "Just came back from Peru, it is hotter than Carey Price's game down there."
Barney made a weird face as he truly had no idea who it was in that reference. "Who? Is that some sort of Canadian pop singer?"
"Oh come on hockey player 2013? …." And awkward pause followed and Robin shook her head as she sat down on the couch. "Right, I forgot you don't watch any true sports."
"Watch it Scherbatsky …" The blonde said bringing her a beer and seating down next to her. Even if he was trying to play it cool he could not stop smiling at her like a fool that had gotten two gummy bear packets for one in a vending machine. He tried his hardest to keep space between the two of them, for he was sure that even if their thighs touched that it would cause an intense sensation that he did not know he could come back from.
For a moment he thought there would be awkward pauses but then as the alcohol kept flowing there were none. They laughed, they joked and they even made fun of Ted. The drinks kept flowing, and the good times continued and at one point Robin laughed so hard that she fell over against Barney.
"So have you reached your Robin Sparkles level of drunk yet?"
Robin laughed touching her forehead slightly. "Oh for god's sake don't even talk about that… I was so drunk that day."
"That was our wedding day. You were so drunk on our wedding day?" Barney asked but he could not help but remember the day with fondness even after it had all happened.
They had been drinking scotch after the reception, and a lot of it. They had also had not been able to sit down at eat, instead they just kept dancing, kissing and laughing as people congratulated them. Robin giggled holding herself up to her husband by support as she finished yet another drink.
Barney had been drinking too, but since the picture day he had tried to keep himself from drinking a lot if only so that there would be some pictures without the Weekend at Barney's montage. However, he could not keep his beautiful bride from drinking after all this was her day and he was dammed lucky to be a part of it.
He was greeting some people when he lost track of his wife. As he looked around trying to find her he only heard someone shouting out from the stage. "Hi everybody!" She said loudly waving as she was now wearing a jacket, but not just any jacket it was a graffiti jacket that made Lily, Marshal, and Ted immediately appear next to Barney.
"Is this really happening?" Ted said his eyes fixated on the woman on stage.
"I think Robin has reached a new level of drunk…" Marshal said, while Lily just kept looking to the front with a look that said she was almost about to cry from excitement.
"How about I sing you a song?" Robin said and the trio that was watching just yelled out loud with Barney motioning for them to keep quiet and at the same time just wrapped his arms around all of them shaking in excitement.
"Wait… we don't know this song…" Someone from the band said but Barney quickly looked around finding napkins and writing the music notes in it. "I will pay you double if you just play this song." The intensity in Barney's face is such that the band member fears for her life as the groom clutched his shoulders and nodded slowly turning to the other members and giving them the music.
What followed was such a scene that they all were glad that they had recorder to commemorate it. It was the performance of a lifetime, it was worth every penny that they had spent on the wedding and so much more.
"This is perfection…this…this is the dream." Ted said and everyone in their group nodded.
"You don't still have that do you?" Robin said laughing in Barney's apartment and he didn't want to admit that he still had the dvd they had made of their wedding, along with bonus features and commentaries. He also had made a special part of it in which he added special effects to the Robin Sparkles part.
"I might…" He said but a click of his remote made the giant tv turn on.
It was marked to that scene of her singing, not wanting to really bring up too much of the wedding up specially not in this current state and as Robin watched she could not help but laugh.
"Even while doing something that lame, you still looked pretty cool. Must have been my last name." Barney said brushing off his shoulders slightly.
"Something I never understood was how did you get your robot wearing a tux on stage?"
"He was my sidekick he always had to be there…" Robin said as they watched the scene, that included their friends singing along to the song and Robin dancing in movements that were near impossible in a wedding dress.
They watched it a total of five times, continuing to drink and joke around until at one point they stopped watching. Their eyes lingered on each other for a long time before their lips pressed together as if they were running out of breath.
It was chaotic, desperate and intense. Barney managed to push her against the floor before he blinked and realized that Robin deserved much more than this. As such he picked her up and took her to his bedroom.
