"Did I seriously just do that?"

Bran's smile is warm, amused, and thankgod, he doesn't seem to be freaking out. In fact, no one seems all that surprised, except maybe Barney himself. His siblings seem to be finding it pretty amusing, judging from the look on Jane's face -- she seems to be swallowing giggles -- and Simon's open laughter.

"Yes," Bran says, patting him on the shoulder a little. "Yep, you did."

"Did you mind?" It comes out in a bit of a squeak and Barney reddens even more, if that were possible. He wishes everybody would stop looking at them.

"No," Bran said, rolling his eyes.

"I won't do it again, I promise," Barney says, and the tips of his ears are burning.

Bran's voice is low, and god that accent gets sexier every time Barney hears it, and for a minute he has to make sure he isn't dreaming when he actually absorbs what Bran just said.

"Did you just say -- "

"I said it would be a shame," Bran says, again, amusement thickening his accent a little. He takes a step closer. "If you never kissed me again."

"Oh," Barney says, in a very small voice.

"Kiss him already," Simon says, in a stage whisper, laughter still bubbling through his voice.

"Shut up," Barney says, but his brother does give some very good advice, on occasion.

Aw. Double aw. Triple aw, and a giggle-grin, because Barney's just too cute in this, and Simon doesn't help, and Bran is just ... not as solemn as I've seen him (mind, I think I loved that, too).

Thank you very much!

I'm glad you liked it!

My view is that Bran knows how to have fun (e.g. when he and Will chase each other shortly after they meet, when he cuts holes in Caradog Prichard's tires... etc) so he would probably view Barney being cute and slightly dense with quite a bit of amusement.

so, after years of silent devotion to will and bran I stumbled upon all these little bits and fell totally in love with them. Just today. This one was brilliant, but I'm really commenting on them in general :D

The Will and Bran ones are wonderful too, but there's something to be said for the inevitably happier end that would befall Barney and Bran that tugs on my heartstrings.

Well done, and thanks so very much.

Yay! I'm never sure how many people read my TDIR fic -- I know [livejournal.com profile] darthanne and [livejournal.com profile] lil_l337 do, but only the Will/Bran. Bran/Barney is so cute, and inevitably happier. Although... Will/Bran is love, but... *rambles*

Thanks for commenting!
