This is just a fillery chapter of the day after their talk, hope you all enjoy and thank you so much for the amazing feedback!
Barney was the first to wake up. He lay in his bed accompanied by the girl of his dreams who was still asleep on his chest. He stared at her and took in the sight of her. He couldn't understand how he'd gotten so lucky. He didn't want this moment to end, that is, until Robin's eyes fluttered open and he wondered why he ever enjoyed a moment when they weren't open.
"Good morning," Barney smiled and kissed her lips.
"Good morning." Robin sighed as their lips parted.
"You sleep okay?" He asked.
"Better than."
"Any big plans for the day? Have anywhere you need to be?"
"Are you already trying to get rid of me?" Robin joked. "And to answer your question, no."
"Robin Scherbastsky, famous reporter of Metro News 1 has nothing else to do on a Saturday than lay with me all day?"
"Aside from having to be at work for 10:30 tonight you're stuck with me all day."
"What am I going to do with you now that I have you to myself for a full day?" Barney questioned aloud, his hands beginning to stroke her bare sides.
"Mm, I have a few ideas," Robin replied teasingly.
"Oh yeah?" Barney's eyes lit up.
"No, not really." Robin let up. "I'm pretty sure we covered every position known to man last night, I think we may have even discovered a few new ones."
"Last night was legendary." He agreed. "You know you aren't just another cheap lay for me, right?"
"If you did to me what you did to your bimbos there's no way you would have been single for that long." Her reply made Barney smile.
He wanted to say that maybe he was single for so long because he was waiting for the right girl but he didn't want to sound lame or scare her off after less than 24 hours of couplehood. He knew that his and Robin's relationship was built off of the idea that actions speak louder than words.
"What about you, got anything planned you need to get out of now that you have a super hot chick to bang?"
"I do actually." Barney grinned.
"When do you want me to leave?" Robin asked bluntly.
"No, the plans include you." He laughed.
"And what are these plans exactly?"
"Well," Barney began and turned to face Robin, "it starts off with us having sex in the shower -"
"I like how it starts." Robin commented.
"Then I'm going to take you out to brunch. Now that we're a couple we should try doing "couple things" don't you think?"
"I guess so, and you can't really go wrong with brunch."
"Then we can spend the rest of the day here, if you want."
"Sounds like a plan." Robin smiled and rolled out of bed.
Robin wasn't in the shower for more than 5 seconds when Barney jumped in a joined her, wrapping his arms around her waist and placing kisses all along her neck from behind her. Robin tilted her head back to rest on his shoulder and her hand started playing with Barney's blond hair. She soon turned to face him and the two of them began kissing passionately. Barney's hands let no part of Robin's body go untouched, he loved the way her curves felt on the palm of his hands. Robin's arms linked around Barney's neck, holding him close to her so there was no space between them. By the time they got out of the shower neither of them were anymore clean than they were when they'd gotten in.
Barney and Robin walked hand in hand as they headed to brunch at a small cafe a few blocks away from Barney's apartment. The cafe was full of couples who were nauseatingly in love, calling their significant other pet names instead of their actual names which weirded both Barney and Robin out. It didn't help they were seated in the middle of all the chaos. Or that only moments into their date the couple beside them got engaged.
"I would hate for that to be me." Robin remarked.
"What to be you?"
"Be proposed to in such a public place. I feel like it's a set up, they know you won't say no unless you want to look like a total bitch."
"What if he knew she'd say yes?"
"I guess when I get proposed to I want it to be a private thing, you know?"
"Robin Scherbatsky thinks about marriage?!" Suddenly the walls began closing in on Barney.
"Relax," Robin reached out to grab his hand and gently stroked it with her thumb. "It's our first date Barney, I don't expect a ring tonight but I think about marriage, not in the way Ted does but I like the idea of two people being the sickeningly in love, like Lily and Marshall."
"We're going to have to talk about this, aren't we?"
"Not right now, right now I want to enjoy the fact I have the hottest guy in the room all to myself."
A few minutes into their date Robin's phone went off. Once she saw it was Lily she looked up at Barney with panic in her eyes.
"What's up?" He asked, concerned.
"What are we going to tell the gang? I mean Ted probably told Lily and Marshall about the other night but what do we tell them about... us?"
"Do you not want them to know we're together?"
"No! No, of course not but, what is this?" She gestured between the two of them.
"Are we having the talk?"
"Would you rather Lily lock us in a room until we do?"
"I can see her doing that to us. We'd probably just have sex until we died of dehydration." Barney joked and they both laughed.
"But um," Robin started in a serious tone. "Where do you see this going?"
"I'm going to be honest and say I haven't really thought about it. Not in a way where I don't think we'll go the distance but right now I'm just enjoying the idea of waking up next to you and being able to go to pretentious places like this with someone I love spending time with."
"I like that answer." Robin smiled.
"Look, it's up to you what you want to tell them, either way they'll give us some sort of lecture."
"It doesn't bother you if we don't label it, at least not right now."
"Not in the slightest. I see us as exclusive friends with benefits who occasionally do things other than having sex on every surface imaginable."
"What do you think they'll have to say to that?"
"Looks like we'll find out tonight, Lily wants us to meet them all at the bar for 7."
"It's going to be a long night."
