[10-13-08] [How I Met Your Mother] Just Barney
Title: Just Barney
Theme: October 13th -- fool for love
Series: How I Met Your Mother
Character: Barney Stinson
Pairing: Barney/Robin
Summary: Barney's voice does not come easily to me. At all. >.< This is just an exercise in that.
I am not going to write some angst-ridden look into my inner psyche. In fact, my inner psyche contains so much pure awesome that it is liable to burn the eyes of any who dare peek into its majesty. So don’t try.
The thing is, I think I’m in love with Robin. The one girl in the entire world I don’t have a chance with. (Except maybe Lily, but I mean, come on. Really?) Now I ask you, what kind of crazy quirk of justice is that? I have tricks, I have lots of tricks, YEARS’ worth of tricks. But none of them will work on her, because she is too good for all of them.
She’s too smart. She’s too perceptive and funny and beautiful. She’s too much of the badass, paintball-playing, scotch-swilling, gun-toting girl that you’re afraid to let yourself want. And she knows me, so of course she’s not ever going to have feelings for me. I have no chance, just by me being me and her being her. With any other girl on the planet, five minutes with Barney Stinson is enough to turn their heads around. With Robin, five minutes with Barney Stinson is just that -- five minutes.
I could go to Japan, you know. I have business contacts, I could go to Japan on the excuse of work (pfft... please), anytime I wanted to. But I won’t. Because then, she might catch on. And if she caught on, she’d find out that I wouldn’t be the guy she knew anymore, and what reason would she have to like that guy? That simpering, mopey, pathetic, lovesick dog? Pfft.
I’m sold on the single life. It’s a blessing...and a curse.
But mostly a blessing.
