I´m glad I can provide you with some swarkles-stuff. And awwwww, it´s good to hear I can satisfy your craving, that´s really cute. Thank you so much. Hope you´ll enjoy the other chapters as well.
„Ready to skunk all those loosers?", Barney asks when he opens the door for Robin.
She laughs, „Can´t wait!"
Barney leans in for a kiss and Robin returns it. He leads her into his apartment, closing the door while still kissing her. The kiss gets more intense when Robin runs her hands through Barney´s hair, he grabs her hips and pulls her closer to him.
Barney shortly breaks the kiss and smiles, „Hi". Robin smiles back at him „Hey, Stinson." They start to kiss again, Barney leads her to the couch, where they both land on and make out. When Barney slips his hands under her shirt, she softly pulls him away and stops him, „Don´t you think we should go?", she giggles while Barney kisses her neck, ignoring her words. Robin tries again, „Barney... The tournament starts in 30 minutes."
Barney looks at her, „Great! Means we still have 5 minutes to get there." Robin laughs, „But we actually need about 20 minutes to get there." Barney finally manages to reach Robin´s lips again to silence her, but she pushes him again from her. „You were so excited about this tournament and now you´re don´t let go off me."
„Just because you smell so great and look amazing."
Robin smiles, „We won´t miss the tournament, because of having sex."
„Why not?", Barney looks at her like a small child. „You promised me to make up for ignoring me in front of my friends."
„Yeah. AFTER the laser-tag-game."
„Oh, come on. We would make it in time without your talking"
„Oh yeah, of course. Come on, after our victory, we will have even more reason to celebrate. And when we´re banging now, you will be too weak to play properly, we will loose and have no reason to celebrate anymore.", Robin winks.
Barney laughs, „Right, I forgot I could be too exhausted afterwards. You won, let´s win this game quickly. The quicklier we win, the quicklier you can make up for your betrayal in front of my friends." They sit up on the couch and get ready to go. Before they leave, Barney suddenly pulls her close again, kisses her softly and says, „Let´s win this, Scherbatsky.", like the time before their very first game.
Flashback
„Hey, you´re here early.", Barney says when he opens the door and finds Robin behind it. „Yes, I know. I´m sorry. I left my flat early, because I didn´t know how long it would take me to get here."
„You don´t have to apologize. It´s good to see you, come in.", he smiles at her.
She sits down on his couch and looks around, „You have a great place."
„Thank you. Can I offer you something to drink, eat, smoke?"
Robin chuckles, „Some water would be nice."
„I also have coffee.", he suggests.
„Coffee sounds great."
„Coffee it is."
He brews some coffee for both of them and joins her on the couch with two big mugs of coffee. Robin tastes it, „Tastes great."
„Glad to hear."
„So, are you excited for our first big game?"
„Absolutely! Though I´m sure we´ll blow their minds away. They´ll have no chance."
„I know. I just hope they won´t disqualify us for the next game because of our awesome play. Some people can´t handle that."
Barney laughs at this thought, „Yes, true. Me and you, such a great-looking and awesomely playing team... this could be too much for them."
„Yeah", Robin smiles at him, clearly feeling the sexual tension between them. She doesn´t know what to say anymore, so she just looks at him weirdly.
Barney responds her look and they both are silent. After moments of awkward silence, Barney finally says, „You have unbelievably blue eyes."
„Back to you", Robin simply answers. She stretches out her hand and touches Barney´s hair. „Sorry... just... there´s a fluff in your hair.", she suddenly whispers.
Barney has slept with enough women, to know the signs. So he takes the chance and kisses Robin. The intensity with which she responds his kiss, shows him he has made the right decision. They stumble into the bedroom where they come at each other.
Afterwards, all the awkwardness is gone. After recovering their breaths they start to talk about anything and everything. They laugh, when suddenly Barney notices his watch on the nightstand.
„Oh shit. I think we should go, otherwise we´ll be late for our big game."
„Is it that late already?", Robin wonders. The time has gone by in a flash. Quickly, they dress and run to the door. Both are kind of happy, they have somewhere to be. Though they like each other, none of them is exactly the boyfriend/girlfriend type and therefore they are happy the inevitable talk about their relationship is postponed. Shortly, before they leave, Barney pulls her in for another kiss, „Let´s win this, Scherbatsky". And they did.
