Months flew by and life had never been more perfect.
It had both surprised Kurt and Blaine how easily they had fallen into their new lives, living together. It almost seemed like it had never been different.
Of course there were moments when they irritated themselves on the smallest things. Like when Kurt got mad because Blaine hadn't put his shoes away or when Blaine got mad because Kurt had gone home from a very expensive shopping trip.
But in the end, they worked things out and learned to compromise through everything.
So that's how one night, while Blaine was laying on the couch with Lizzy cuddled against his chest on one side and Kurt cuddled against his chest on the other side, Blaine started thinking about how everything felt so right.
And it's that moment that he started thinking about how he really wanted this to be official.
With a soft smile he had started going with his fingers through Kurt's and Lizzy's hair as they both focused on the television, already thinking about how he could ask them both.
He had taken his time, thinking everything over. Wanting it to be perfect.
And then he had come with the perfect idea.
Blaine smiled to himself as he watched Dumbo walk around his territory.
It was getting late and slowly the last people started leaving the park. Well that was except Blaine.
Blaine smiled softly as he went inside the building and looked for the fairy lights and the candles he had brought along.
He was so focused on the task that he almost jumped when he felt a hand touch his back.
He turned around to see Wes standing there with a few of the other colleagues he had.
“Where do you want us to start,” Wes asked as the others looked very excited as well.
Blaine smiled softly, “I would like there to be fairy lights from the entrance of the zoo till the elephant residence. And some candles along the way as well.”
He pulled out a few of the fairy light he had bought himself and much too his relieve, he noticed some others holding some as well, just like they were holding candles.
“Let's get this thing started,” grinned Wes as they started to make their way out.
Blaine was a bit shocked when he noticed how many colleagues had taken their time to help him and stay a bit longer.
With that, he took the last fairy lights out of his bag and made his way outside. They only had little time and yet so much to do.
It was working against the clock but it would be so worth it.
Blaine took a deep breath as he looked at himself in the mirror he had put inside the elephant residence for the day.
He put on his neat suit jacket and carefully started tying his bowtie around his neck.
Behind him, the door opened and immediately the sound of some whistling for him echoed the room.
Blaine rolled his eyes as he let out a nervous chuckle, “very funny Wes.”
Wes grinned as he leaned against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest and one leg hold bend against the wall. “We got everything ready outside. I wanted to come check on you one last time before I'm going to get them.”
Blaine smiled towards him through the mirror as he finally was able to bow his bowtie correctly. It had to be the nervous but he could do this in his sleep normally.
“I'm fine. A little nervous but I guess that's normal, right?”
Wes nodded towards him, “yeah of course it is but you know what he's going to answer already, don't you.”
With that, he turned around and walked out the door with a smirk playing on his lips.
Blaine smiled softly as he looked himself over once more. It was the moment of truth.
Blaine waited nervously as he stood by the side of the elephant residence.
Jumbo walked towards him and started trumpeting loudly.
Blaine chuckled as he watched Jumbo come closer, “yeah I know buddy. I'm nervous as well. I'll give you an extra snack on Monday if he says yes.”
Jumbo seemed pleased with that and started going to the other side of his residence, right where Blaine had made the heart from candles.
It didn't take long before he noticed Kurt come closer while talking to Burt, Carole and Wes animatedly.
Lizzy was sitting on his shoulders and participating excitedly on the conversation, gesturing widely with her tiny arms all while carefully holding on her daddies neck with one hand.
It was only when Lizzy looked up and let out a gasp that he noticed Kurt look up.
Kurt carefully took Lizzy of his shoulders and put her on the ground. He then told something to Wesley and his family before he walked alone further until he was close by the residence.
It was only when he got closer that he could read the words that Blaine had written on the ground with some white chalk in the middle of the heart.
Will you marry me?
He heard Kurt let out a shaky breath as he walked out of his hiding place and made his way over to Kurt who was looking at him with his eyes wide open and his mouth open in an ooh.
It looked like he was about to say something but Blaine shook his head.
Carefully he took a seat on his left knee and looked up at Kurt all the while clutching a small black box in his hand, waiting to be opened.
“Kurt,” Blaine started snakingly, “I actually wrote a million times the words I wanted to say to you right in this moment, but it seems like I've forgotten all of them,” Blaine said while laughing and shaking his head.
He saw Kurt look at him with tears in his eyes as he started giggling and put his hand in front of his mouth as he rolled his eyes playfully.
Blaine chuckled as he looked at Kurt through his eyelashes, “I've been thinking about asking you for for a while now because I feel like I'm finally complete ever since you and that little girl of yours danced into my life.”
Kurt let out another giggle as a faint blush spread over his cheeks.
“You made the guy who felt like he could live from the love he got from the animals, fall head over heels with you with just one look and you kept me falling over and over again over the past few months. You make me feel loved, make me feel save and most of all make me feel the happiest I've ever been. So Kurt Hummel, will you do me the honor of becoming your husband?”
Kurt let out a small squeal as Blaine opened the black box in his hand and revealed the silver band filled with one simple row of blinking looking stones into it.
Kurt wrapped his arms tightly around Blaine's neck as he jumped forward and pressed a kiss against his cheek as he let a few tears escape, “of course I will.”
Blaine smiled happily as he carefully unwrapped himself and took Blaine's hand in his and slipped the ring on his finger before placing the box carefully back into his pocket.
He wrapped Kurt again in his arms as he kissed him softly over and over again. “I promise you I'll make you and the little princes the happiest you guys have ever been.”
Kurt shook his head as he blinked the few tears he had still left away and smiled softly, “you already do that Blaine. I love you.”
“I love you too,” Blaine whispered against his lips as he carefully cupped Kurt's cheeks while wiping away the tears that were running over his cheeks. He looked into Kurt's eyes as their noses softly touched in the middle, “forever and always,” he whispered before leaned forward and softly took Kurt's bottom lips between his as he kissed him with everything he had.
Lizzy was laying against Blaine's chest, trying to hide a yawn as she played with his bowtie, “does this mean you'll become my dad?”
Blaine smiled softly as he played with her soft hair while holding her on his hip, “only if you want me to be.”
“You already are my dad,” she smiled softly as her eyes blinked a few more times before she fell asleep against his chest.
He looked over where Carole was still fawning over Kurt's ring and already planning on the wedding as Burt blew out the candles and put them away and Wes put Jumbo into his indoor residence.
Burt put away the last candle before he made his way over to Blaine.
“She fell asleep,” he asked as he pointed towards Lizzy.
Blaine nodded his head, “yeah. I think it's the excitement.”
Burt nodded as a small smile spread over his lips, “I'm glad we took Lizzy that day to the zoo. You make them both very happy and I'm glad you're making it official.”
Blaine smiled back towards him, “They do the same for me.”
“I know,” Burt nodded as they watched Wes close the door of the building and made their way over towards them.
“Just thank you and welcome to the family,” Burt said as he nodded once more and made his way over to his wife and Kurt.
Blaine grinned as Wes came closer with a big “I told you so-“smile before he shook his head and made his way over to the rest of the family.
The park was awfully quiet as they made their way through it towards the exit but Blaine loved the feeling of walking through it now even more.
Because now he had someone to share it with and everything he had ever wanted into his life.
