Next round :') And thanks for the feedback again! Writing B/R is so much more fun than assignements for uni... xP
Context: the wedding day we all cannot wait for ;)
Prompt: #099 Say Cheese
Word count: 200
Comment: Inspired by the flashback in 5x18, in which Lily makes Marshall sit between Barney and Robin so they don't look like a couple in the photo.
It is frankly unbelievable how many different photo combinations there are on a wedding: bride and groom, bride and family, groom and family, bride and (in this case) best man, groom and best man, bride and bridesmaids, bride and sister, groom and brother, one big family picture, and, of course, that which shows all best friends together.
Barney and Robin are in the centre, of course, while Ted is on the left and Lily and Marshall on the right of the couple. Everyone is ready to strike a pose.
"So, Lily, you want to stand between Robin and me, or…?"
He's all fun and laughs and she knows he doesn't mean it. So, she just shrugs. "Nah, I'm fine here, thanks."
"Okay, everybody, ready… Cheese!" the photographer says, and then the camera goes off.
She still thinks she was right all those years ago. Robin and Barney just weren't ready back then. Now, however…
There is no trace of fear or discomfort on their faces. All the wedding jitters have passed, and now Lily cannot help but think that there should never be someone between those two on any picture ever again.
Contrast, incidence of light and flash be screwed.
