Drinking games
1.
"Four lemons!" Barney shouted.
"What?" Ted said, looking over his shoulder and spilling vodka over his hands.
"I bet you can't juggle four lemons! Look, s'easy!"
Ted grinned. "Dude, you just dropped one."
Realising Ted was right, Barney looked slightly confused, but he soon perked up. "Yeah, after about thirty awesome seconds! Bet you can't do it!"
Ted laughed. For some reason everything was hysterically funny right now. "Okay, I'll take that action. What do we bet?"
"Dude! We're in a bar full of booze!"
"Loser has to take a shot of the worst drink ever?"
"Sambuca?"
"It's a deal."
2.
"Bottles! Three bottles!" Barney hiccupped.
"Empty or full bottles?" Ted could barely see his hands let alone the bottles. He squinted.
"One empty, two full."
Ted gave him a look. "All empty."
"How ex-zactly is that a challenge?"
"Did you just say ex-zactly?" Ted started to giggle. "Oh man, you are totally wasted."
"Ted… Ted… Ted… look at me! Focus!"
Ted continued to giggle until Barney threw a bottle at him, which he barely managed to catch."
"Whoa, did you see that!" Ted struck a pose. "Reactions of a CAT!"
Barney looked impressed. "Dude! Sambuca!"
"'m gonna be sick."
"Sambuca!!"
3.
"Vomit Free Since '09," Ted mumbled, burping
"Wassat?" Barney had this weird, cross-eyed expression on his face ever since the fourth shot of Sambuca.
"I said I'm Vomit Free Since '09!"
"What, since you barfed last week?"
"You're a bad influence…"
Barney draped an arm around Ted's shoulder. "S'not me, it's Robin. You know she leads us both astray."
They both looked into the middle distance and sighed.
"So when exactly are you going to hit that?" Ted said, with a mischievous grin.
"That, my bestest Bro, is the million dollar question."
"Hey, I bet you can't-"
"Dude, don't even!"
4.
Barney was making whimpering noises in the corner of the bar, while pouring most of a small bottle of gin into a single glass.
"What's up, Bar-keep?" Ted said, ignoring the baying crowd of marching-band-ers.
"Amanda just totally called me Daddy!"
"Dude, she called you Daddy-o."
Barney turned around abruptly, narrowing his eyes. "Don't ruin the moment, bro." He growled.
Ted chuckled and said, in a fake-loud whisper. "Oh man, I hate to say it but I think those college girls just want to use us for meaningless sex and never see us again!"
Barney made a little choking sound.
5.
It was five a.m and freezing cold now the apartment was empty.
Barney made a snuffling sound, his head resting on Ted's shoulder. Ted was staring at the TV, sound on mute. They were both covered by a huge, red blanket.
"So you really got Bingo?" Ted asked, taking a huge gulp from a glass of water.
"Mmm."
"Why in the hell did Marshall bring out the beer-bong? I'm too old for this stuff!"
"Mmm-mmm!"
"Yeah, I am. Oh man… I can feel my hangover coming while I'm still drunk! How is that fair?"
"Mmm-mmm-mmm…" Barney mumbled.
"Murtaugh list?"
"Mmmm…"
