***xoxo***
"Well, looks like you're feeling better." Robin said as she enters Ted's bedroom, after a good hour and a half Barney finally wakes up from his necessary nap feeling a bit better but still groggy from the cold medicine Robin slipped into his tea earlier.
Barney smiles lightly, wondering where he was, and why he's wearing Ted's clothes.
"Wha. What the heck happened to me my head is spinning and I feel like a tone of bricks fell on top of me while laying." He looks around Ted's room and at his own body figuring out why he's wearing Ted's clothes. Robin had explained this to him before when he was a whiny needy baby so Robin dodged his questions and asked. "How are you feeling?" Hoping to get a proper answer to her question cause taking care of a sick Barney is like taking care of a sick puppy except Barney can talk which is even more annoying then Robin's dogs barking at her at the same time.
"Better. I guess but what happened, I feel like I'm in a daze and I hate feeling this way."
"Oh, yeah sorry about that I kinda drugged you to get you to stop bugging me. You know, when your sick you are really annoying so I drugged you to stop nagging me. Sorry!" That was a not so sorry I drugged you quote but then again what she did to get Barney to get some sleep worked so whatever right?.
"Yeah, I don't buy that sorry but thanks for taking care of me I know I can be a pain when I'm sick."
"No problem, I thought it was my friendly duty to make you feel better cause I miss the awesome Barney, you know when he's not sick and whiny." Robin smiles at him and he smiles back thankful to have Robin in his life cause if he didn't nobody else would even care to stay and take care of him.
"You're a good bro" He tells here sweetly and he means it cause Robin is a good bro when her bro is annoying the crap out of her.
"Well, thank you all I did was help you try and get better cause I don't want to see you sick. You know, when you're sick you are actually quite cute." That made Barney blush a little and say. "Are you trying to hit on me?" Sticking out his tongue making Robin laugh. "No, no just like awesome Barney and he looks like he's slightly returning to his ole self and I am just happy to have helped him feel better." She says changing the subject.
"Ok, well thanks again for helping/taking care of me you really didn't have to I could've gone home." Barney tells her trying to stand up on his own feet but still feeling a bit woozy and dizzy from Robin's home remedy. "Wow." Barney says sitting back down on the bed before he could pass out on the floor Robin runs over making sure he's ok.
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah, just a little dizzy from you drugging me."
He doesn't say that rudely cause he is thankful to Robin for helping him today.
"I'm sorry, but you are still a bit sick and the meds probably still didn't wore off yet."
"Yeah!" Barney said trying to lay his head back on the pillow on the bed.
After that, Barney slept a good 2 hours which was good cause when he woke again he was back to normal, well almost normal it's like 30% of the way back to being normal awesome Barney again. But, he was still thankful for Robin being a good bro and taking care of her bro in need.
Author note: So, why does Robin apologize in this? It's cause she feels guilty and not bad about drugging Barney and we also get a little flirtation going which is always one of the reasons I love their friendship.
