AN: Hey guys! Luckily, I made it to update. It´s more fluff, I hope you like it anyways. Tell me what you guys think - it would mean a lot! Especially, because I thought a lot about what should happen and how I can write it. I hope, I succeeded. Xx
Barney is very grumpy when he has to get out of his bed this morning because of his stupid doorbell. First, he decided to ignore it, but whoever it is doesn´t give up. When the doorbell rang for the fourth time, he finally got himself to get up.
However, as soon as he opens the door, a big smile spreads on his face and he says, „Damn, you´re the best, do you know that?"
„Awww, that´s so sweet of you... and very true.", Robin smiles back at him. She´s standing in front of him with a big chocolate birthday cake which has „To Barnman from Robin" written on it.
„That cake looks delicious. Thank you so much for bringing it over!", Barney smiles, takes the cake and playfully tries to close the door under her nose. Robin makes an annoyed face, but can´t quite hide her amusement. It takes only a few seconds when Barney swings the door open again. He chuckles when he asked, „Oh, Robin. I´m such a dumbass. Do you may wanna come in?" „Haha, very funny, Stinson. The cake was not your only surprise – do you really wanna miss out on some more? If not, let me in, birthday boy."
„What surprise?", Barney asks with his eyes beaming from exitement.
„You really think you´re getting your other surprises now?"
„Oh please, please. It´s my birthday!", Barney begs with his child voice.
She could make it easy for him, but even if it´s Barney´s birthday, she loves teasing him way too much, so she won´t give in for now. Robin makes a step forward, closes the door behind her and swings her arms around Barney´s waist and whispers in Barney´s ear, „Follow me."
He doesn´t need to be told twice and follows her right into his bedroom. When she strips down her clothes until she´s only in her underwear, Barney eagerly jumps into his bed, waiting for Robin to join him. His excitement can´t be hided as soon as Robin straddles him. They start kissing, but suddenly Robin pulls back.
„What is wrong?", he asks, clearly not wanting to pause this.
„Did you really think, I´m that easy?", she grins, „First, I thought I will give you a great birthday surprise by sleeping with you twice – now and at the end of the day."
„Fine by me!", Barney interrupts and longs for her.
„But..."
„No! No ‚buts'. I hate ‚buts'!"
„But as you seemed to prefer having your birthday cake and slam your door shut in front of me, I changed my mind.", she grins viciously.
„Oh come on! Are you kidding me? Then why are you leading me into my bedroom and undress yourself."
„Barney, Barney. You know me for a while now. You should know that it´s one of my hobbies to tease you."
She gets out of bed and walks into the kitchen. Barney grunts and screams after her, „Robin, please, would you just come back? It´s my birthday, come on!"
Suddenly she reappears, the chocolate cake in her hands. She smiles. „Yes, it´s your birthday. That´s why I thought, I grant your wish and get the cake. First the cake, than me."
She slightly tilts her head and smiles which makes Barney crazy, „Gosh, woman, you´re perfect." Robin hops into bed right next to him and they start eating the cake.
After eating about two pieces each, both of them have enough. „This cake is awesome. Where do you have it from?"
„Why do you guess I have it from somewhere. Maybe I baked it all by myself."
„Please.", Barney spouts and looks at her in a ‚I should seriously believe you that?'-way.
Robin chuckles, „I have it from some little bakery near my flat. But at least I wrote the stuff on it all by myself. Are you satisfied now?"
„I could tell. The writing is kind of shaky." Robin can´t hide a little smirk, but takes a pillow and hits him a few times. Barney of course doesn´t take that and so he grabs his pillow and strikes back. It leads to a pillow fight, but both of them laugh so hard that it´s more like throwing the pillows around wildly, not actually having an aim.
Barney suddenly gets hold of her and pulls her on top of him. „Scherbatsky, I´m disappointed in you. Pillow fights? Seriously? I thought this is some stupid girls´ stuff and that you prefer things like guns and real weapons.", he teases her. „Ohhh, someone is mad because he lost in the pillow fight.", she teases back. „I lost? How can I loose in this?" „You don´t have to be ashamed, Barney. But you clearly grabbed me, so I´d stop with the pillows and prevent you from a defeat." Barney shakes his head, „Pfff. I clearly grabbed you, so you don´t make a fool of yourself and be all mad at me for winning." „So not true, but I will act as if you´re right now because it´s your birthday.", Robin answers. Barney only rolls his eyeballs as an answer, then he suggests with a wink, „What about a pillow fight where we both win?" „Sounds great", she smiles and leans down to kiss him. The kiss gets more intense and it doesn´t take long until both of them are all in for their ‚pillow fight'.
Later that day, Barney drives to visit his mom. She invited him over for his birthday for a little brunch, where James and Tom are coming as well.
„If you want, you can join me, but I don´t know, if you´re up for annoying questions, whether you are my girlfriend or not. And telling my mom we´re friends, but also sleeping with each other, may not be that great for my mom to hear.", Barney says to Robin while dressing up.
„Don´t worry. I prefer staying here. I think I´m not ready for awkward family brunches. Plus, I wasn´t that stupid to think you have no plans on your birthday.", Robin answers.
„It wouldn´t have been stupid, because I don´t really have plans. Just the brunch with my family."
„Aren´t you celebrating with your friends or something?"
„You are my friend. My favourite friend to celebrate stuff with actually. I think we already celebrated in a great way.", Barney winks.
„Haha, you know what I mean. What about Ted, Marshall and Lily?"
„Do you already miss them?"
„Are you jealous because I get along well with your friends?"
„Absolutely not.", Barney scoffs, „But they are busy, I guess. Usually they make plans with me for my birthday, but not this time. I guess they have better things to do."
Robin recognizes the pain in his voice. „I´m sorry to hear that. I just thought..."
„Forget it, Robin. It´s fine."
Robin tries to cheer him up, „Forget THEM. We are meeting right after you come back and do whatever you want. Play laser tag, go to the cinema, go to the cigar bar, go having some drinks, having sex – whatever you want."
„Sounds awesome.", he smiles.
When Barney comes back from lunch, Barney and Robin head straight to the laser tag area. Barney is in a good mood, his lunch with his mother and his brother went really well and he got some great presents. And now, he spends some time with Robin – he really enjoys his birthday so far.
After the game – they won, because there were only some seven year olds who played in the afternoon – they decide to get something to eat and either go to the cinema or head to Barney´s place. Both of them get their stuff from the lockers in the changing rooms from the laser tag place and Robin looks at her cellphone. She has one missed call – from Ted. ‚Unbelievable! She thinks. Ted has the nerve to call her today instead of phoning his best friend for his birthday?' Robin is kind of angry about that, so she decides not to call him back. She asks Barney though, „Hey, Barney. Did your friends phone you yet? Or sent you a text?"
„Yeah, some colleagues send me a birthday text. And my old roommate from college did as well."
„Nothing from Lily, Ted or Marshall?", she asks.
„Not a word. Let´s go!", he takes her hand and drags her with him, clearly not wanting to talk about his friends. Robin gives in and they both go to some nice little Irish Pub near Barney´s apartment. As they enjoy some burgers and beer, they get pretty tipsy which lead to them laughing about everything and everybody. Then, Robin decides to reveal the next surprise for Barney. „We are going to a strip club!", she announced. „No way! YOU are going to a strip club with me?", Barney giggles – he totally shouldn´t drink beer, it always gets him drunk easily.
When they stumble out of the strip club, they are laughing hard. „Thank you very much for paying me a lap dance! Have you seen the strippers face? She couldn´t believe, a girl is paying her for a guy – she certainly thought you are my girlfriend." Barney chuckles.
„Hahahaha, oh my god, yes. Her face was priceless. Poor girl.", Robin giggles.
„You are the best Robin, seriously. That was so great fun."
„You´re very welcome, mister.", she slurs, „I had so much fun too!" Then she gives him an intense kiss and whispers, „And now, part two of the pillow fight thing!"
„Best idea ever!", Barney agrees. Actually, they planned to go to the movies and the cigar bar, but they are far too drunk and too turned on to go anywhere else than home. Kissing wildly they head to Barney´s apartment. He fumbles for his keys, but not without continuing making out with Robin. She grabs his tie and pulls him closer to her. Barney finally finds his keys and they stumble through the doorway together, having their eyes closed, all involved in being all over each other. They almost get a heart attack, when suddenly the lights are going on, people are jumping up from everywhere in Barney´s apartment and scream, „SURPRISE!"
Robin loosens her grip from Barney´s tie and looks in shock at the people. So does, Barney – especially, when he meets Lily´s, Marshall´s and Ted´s look. They sober up quickly because of the shock and Robin can´t think of anything else than saying, „Well, now that´s awkward."
