Barney and Lily have a heart to heart

Feb 26, 2010 18:13

So, Barney finally opens up about how he feels about Robin and the BA trip. It starts off with some good-natured bitching, and then Lily gets him to really open up, and it's painful and difficult but she gives him some amazing advice.

Thanks to otempora42, who is a class act.

( To be honest? Yeah, you do. But I think bitter and twisted is part of the relapse package, so it's OK... )

But sometimes it's hard to see love for what it is, to realize what a gift it is. Sometimes you throw it away, sometimes it slips away without anyone noticing. Sometimes you do just turn around one day and it's gone. Sometimes it's killed, and it's not until you see the blood on your hands that you realize what you've done.
It's not Robin's fault. It's not your fault. That's just the nature of the beast.
But you have your memories. Not nostalgia, not fantasies. What you and Robin had, what was real. No one will be able to take that away from you.
Maybe there is no point. Maybe you'll never fall in love again. Maybe it was all for nothing. But I think that love is an end in itself. It has meaning. And you had that.

This ACTUALLY made me cry. Real tears. Just perfect Lily. Otemps rules so hard.

Lily is so awesome.

Just wanted to say.

And Barney needs a hug me thinks :(

Hey, if Katie wants to offer the hug...? ;-)

/sleaze.

smthwallflower February 27 2010, 06:33:54 UTC

How wrong would it be for Katie and Barney to get together? :P

idioticonion February 27 2010, 08:49:50 UTC

Oh yes, totally wrong. In THIS universe... *cough*

*pimp*

It was like we were two planets in orbit, and for one tiny moment last fall we lined up perfectly, and I can honestly say that I was happy. As mawkish as that seems, I was happy, Lil. But then we swung away from each other again, and it's like suddenly I know that. I can trace our path across the heavens and I know that we wouldn't ever align again, not in a thousand years.

This just breaks my heart. And of course, in perfect Barney style, he moves on to talk about sex with bimbos to deflect feelings that go way deeper than that.

idioticonion February 27 2010, 07:58:53 UTC

Thank you! I was proud of that bit. And it's not just deflection. He doesn't want to wallow, or trash talk Robin too much in front of Lily.

Aw, Barney! Never said never, dude! Even when your lady moves to South America and her handler can't keep up with all her crap anymore... there's always hope! Guess I'm a closet (not so closet) romantic too.
