Blaine was walking around in what he thought was the most beautiful garden of the world. Around him where plants, happy people and the most amazing creatures in the world.

He was whistling as he walked around the place with the wheelbarrow which was filled with buckets full with vegetables.

Blaine smiled at everyone he passed and bowed his head as a way to say hello before he started whistling again.

Before he knew it, he was at his final destination.

He loved it when he saw the huge building of the elephants come nearer and nearer.

Immediately he started walking a little faster. Taking care of such a beautiful creatures never lost its trill. He still was amazed by them and fascinated every single day.

Calmness flew over him as he saw the biggest elephant standing.

He made his way through the rows of people who were looking at the three elephants with fascination.

Blaine stopped in front of the gate and started undoing the lock. When he had made his way through the gate and locked it again, he started making his way on the small path that leaded towards the building.

He put his wheelbarrow in the building and started placing the buckets away from the fence on the path.

This was by far one of his favorite parts of the job. Every day he would pick one kid to help him feed the elephants.

It was always fascinating to see the children look up at the creatures and carefully holding up an apple or some lettuce for the elephant to take.

When everything stood in place, he started making his way towards the gate.

He started unlocking the lock and started looking over the crowd for someone to feed them when he heard a girl speaking.

“Daddy, look,” she giggled from where she was sitting on her daddy's shoulders.

Blaine looked towards the elephants and saw Jumbo showing off with some tricks. Blaine shook his head and started chuckling. Jumbo was one of his favorite elephants since he started working for the zoo. Although he didn't have much approval for the name, it was such a stereotype.

His attention was drawn back to the man with the little kid on his shoulders. “Daddy why didn't I get one for my birthday?”

The man started laughing with some people around him. “Lizzy, you are in the zoo for your birthday, that's quite amazing already right?”

The girl nodded excitedly and started looking at the elephants again.

Blaine decided to take a chance and held his hands against his mouth before he gave one loud shout, “Hey Lizzy.”

The girl immediately turned her head just like the dad while Blaine started waving them over.

The man looked suspicious but started making his way towards the gate as 2 older people followed him.

When the man had managed to get through the crowd towards Blaine, he still looked suspicious.

Blaine held out his hand as he smiled widely at the man. He had to admit that he had never seen an as beautiful man in his life. “My name is Blaine. I'm a zookeeper and I couldn't help but overhear your conversation.”

The man started smiling softly and carefully balanced Lizzy on his shoulders before he shook the man his hand.

“My name is Kurt and these,” he said as he waved to the people next to him, “are my parents, Burt and Carole.”

Blaine shook their hands before he held out his hand for Lizzy. “Hi little princess,” he said sweetly.

The girl started giggling and started kicking her legs against her daddy's shoulders. She leaned forward and shook his hand.

“So I heard something about a birthday and wanting to have an elephant,” he grinned.

The girl nodded her head as the dad started moving her of his shoulders and on his hip instead. “Yes, I'm,” she started before she started counting on her tiny fingers, “three years old today,” she smiled.

“Well, how about I give you a present,” he said softly before he opened the gate and waved for them to enter.

The man looked confused but made his way through the gate, his parents following close behind.

Blaine locked the gate behind them and started making his way towards the buckets on the path.

The little girl looked at the buckets confused while her dad started smiling softly.

“I can't give you an elephant but I can give you a chance to feed them,” he grinned.

The girl started shouting in excitement and tried to wiggle herself from her dad's hip.

The man placed her on the ground and kneeled next to her in what looked like expensive pants, not that Blaine was looking, not at all.

The parents of the man were grinned in excitement and they took out their camera's to take some pictures.

Blaine kneeled next to Lizzy and gave her an apple. “You only have to hold out your hand and they'll be able to take it from a distance with their trunk.

The girl started giggling as she took the apple and stretched out her tiny arm curiously.

Jumbo must have known what was going to happen as he stopped showing of and started making his way towards the gate.

He stretched his trunk towards the apple and took it out of Lizzy her hand before throwing it in his mouth.

Lizzy squealed in excitement and started clapping her hands as she watched the elephant eat it's treat.

Meanwhile, the other 2 elephants had taken notice of what was going on and started making their way towards them.

Lizzy started clapping her hands and pointing excitedly, obviously pleased with the attention she got.

Blaine kept giving her food to give at the elephants and had given also a few pieces to her dad and his parents.

He loved to see the excitement in her eyes but that wasn't the only thing where he kept looking at.

The dad was watching her so proudly and with this twinkle in his eyes. He just couldn't look away.

He hadn't noticed that he was staring until he felt a little hand take his sleeve and started pulling at it. “Apple,” she grinned.

Blaine started laughing as he tried to hide his blush before he took the last apple out of the bucket. “It's the last one little princess,” he grinned.

Jumbo made some noise as he looked at them impatiently.

The girl held out the apple and before she knew it, Jumbo had already taken it.

Blaine took the buckets and placed them aside again, knowing full well that Jumbo liked to try and steal them. He had learned it the hard way.

The little girl pouted a bit but the twinkle in her eyes betrayed how she really felt.

The dad scooped her up on his hip again and started talking to her softly before he gave her to his dad.

He heard the man and his wife talk to Lizzy excitedly and he couldn't hide the small on his face.

Kurt turned back towards him with a huge smile on his face. “I can't thank you enough for this. She has been begging me for the past year for an elephant as it are her favorit animals and while she was excited about the zoo, I knew there was a little bit disappointment,” he chuckled.

Blaine decided to take a chance and started chuckling along. “I can only imagine what you and your wife have gone through.”

He saw how Kurt's mouth first fell open before he started laughing rather loudly. “Oh god, no wife,” he chuckled.

“Husband then,” Blaine tried again.

Kurt shook his head once he had managed to control his laughing. “Not at the moment. Just me and Lizzy.”

Blaine felt a blush spread on his cheeks as he started rubbing his neck. It had been a habit he had taken up every time he was nervous.

He heard Kurt giggle and looked up to see him looking at him. He was about to say something when he heard Lizzy call for him.

Immediately he turned around and asked her what was going on. When she told him she wanted to see the monkeys now, he looked apologetic at Blaine.

Blaine just waved his hand. “It's fine. I hope you guys have a beautiful day today,” he grinned.

Kurt's parents nodded at him and Kurt smiled at him warmly before they turned around and followed Blaine towards the gate.

Blaine unlocked it and made his way towards where Lizzy was sitting on Kurt his dad's shoulders this time. “Happy birthday princess,” he said softly as he waved at her once more.

The girl giggled and waved at him before she petted her grandpa's head as a way for him to start walking. He waved at them as he saw them walk away, knowing he wouldn't be able to forget about this for the rest of the day.

It was 5 o'clock when Blaine started making his way back to the entrance of the zoo. His keys were making noise with each step he took as he looked around the park.

Most people were slowly leaving the park, satisfied with the day they had as a family.

Few were still running around, trying to see still a few animals in the final hour before the park closed.

As he made his way towards the entrance, he heard someone run. He didn't think much of it before he felt a hand touch his shoulder, “Blaine,” the man asked.

Blaine turned around and smiled when he saw Kurt standing in front of him. “Hi Kurt,” he grinned shyly, waiting for the reason why Kurt had run after him.

After a while Kurt chuckled and shook his head, “I know this may sound strange but I was wondering if maybe,” he said nervously as he started going with his hand through his hair, “we could meet up or something?”

Blaine blushed a little as he looked at the nervous man in front of him before he chuckled a little. “Like on a date?”

Kurt's cheeks turned red and Blaine wanted nothing more than to cup the man's face but knowing that would be pretty strange.

“Oh gosh, this was a stupid idea,” said Kurt as he started going through his hair once more, “I mean I don't even know if you are gay and I have a child and …” he started.

Blaine decided to stop him by placing his hand on his shoulder. “Hi Kurt, It's fine. I am gay in fact,” he said with a soft smile, “and I would love to go on a date with you.”

“Are you sure,” Kurt asked softly.

Blaine nodded and took his phone out of his pocket. “Here, you can give me your number and I'll text you tonight, how does that sound?”

Kurt eagerly took the phone out of his hand and started typing.

Blaine waited patiently as he noticed Kurt's parents standing a little further away with soft smiles on their faces as the man held a sleeping girl in his arms.

“Looks like the birthday girl had an exhausting day,” Blaine said as Kurt gave him his phone back.

Kurt looked to where Blaine was looking and started chuckling. “She had a blast today. She loved every animal except the spiders. I think the elephants were her favorit though.”

Blaine smiled to him. “I'm glad to hear that.”

Kurt turned back to him and smiled apological to him. “I think I have to go now though. I'm sure the birthday girl isn't the only one who is exhausted. My dad kind of hinted he who love a nap.”

Blaine chuckled at that. “Well, I'll let you take care of your family. I'll text you tonight Kurt,” he grinned.

Kurt turned around a waved at him, “I would love that.”

Blaine watched him walk towards his family and waved once more to them before he started walking back to the entrance.

He felt like he was flying on clouds and he hoped the feeling lasted.

It was later that evening when he was sitting on his couch that he decided to take a chance.

He took his phone out of his pocket and opened a new message. Hi it's Blaine. I was wondering if you had something to do on Saturday.

He lay his phone back on the table and started jamming around a bit on his guitar.

It had been a while since he felt like playing music again and tonight he felt inspired.

A few minutes later, he received a text back. I'm sure I can arrange someone to take care of Lizzy. How about I pick you up at 6 pm?

Blaine immediately agreed and send him his address. A sigh escaped his lips when he got a reply saying he couldn't wait to see him again.

Saturday couldn't arrive sooner!
