Blaine was playing with the presents he was holding in his hands.

He was dressed in just a shirt and a jeans, knowing that he would need to be able to play and run around once his date arrived.

Nervously he was hopping from one foot on another as he tried to relieve the stress.

It wasn't that they were late. No, the problem was that Blaine had been so excited and so nervous that he had left way too early.

He had been looking forward towards today for the past week, excited to see Kurt back after all the texts they had exchanged and the few shorts call.

He was just about to check his phone as a Kurt pulled up on the parking lot.

The tension left his body immediately when he saw Kurt look at him as he parked in front of him, next to his car.

Blaine started walking towards Kurt and wrapped him into a half hug. “It's nice to see you again,” he smiled.

Kurt looked at him softly, “Yeah, it really is.”

It looked like Kurt was about to lean in and kiss his cheek, or maybe his lips if Blaine was being hopeful when they were interrupted with someone tapping the window.

Kurt turned around and started shaking his head giggling as he walked towards Lizzy, slowly unbuckling her.

“Someone is a little impatient,” he said to her as he tapped her nose.

“But you took so long daddy,” whined Lizzy as she pouted adorably to Kurt.

And just like that, Kurt started pouting back and it must have been the most cute thing Blaine had seen in a long time.

It was that moment he already knew he was getting himself in something.

He could only imagine how fast he was going to give in when those 2 would start pouting at him with their full forces.

And maybe it should have scared Blaine how fast he was already thinking about these things.

But somehow, it seemed right and it felt amazing.

Two little hands on his cheeks helped him out of his thinking only to be met with two blue eyes. “You are the zookeeper,” Lizzy grinned. “I remember you.”

Blaine chuckled. “Well I would hope so little princess. You don't want to  forget about the elephants do you?”

Lizzy looked at him with wide eyes, like it was the worst thing that could happen. “No I won't forget. Elephants,” she squealed as her two little hands hid her eyes for him.

Kurt looked fondly at the two of them from where he was holding Lizzy on his hip. “So Lizzy, are you hungry?”

Lizzy looked at her dad through her fingers. “I'm so hungry,” she said excitedly.

Blaine grinned at her. “Well Lizzy, they have the best food here,” he said seriously, feeling happy as he saw the excitement in her eyes.

Blaine held out his hand for Kurt and Kurt took it happily as he was leaded into the small restaurant.

A lot of research had let to this choice of restaurant. He wanted something fun for both Kurt and Lizzy so he had started looking for something with good and high quality food but also somewhere where Lizzy would love what she got on her plate and somewhere where Lizzy could have fun.

It's how he found a small restaurant on the internet with a promising menu and on the plus side, it had a playground on the outside where she could play a little bit while he could talk a little with Kurt.

Inside there was a small table with a waiter standing behind it. “Hello,” the man asked politely.

Blaine nodded to him. “Hello, I made reservations under the name Anderson.”

The man looked on the computer and nodded when he found his name. “This way please.”

They were leaded outside, as Blaine had requested it, towards a larger table neatly laid for 3 under a parasol.

The waiter went back inside as they all took a seat, Blaine on one side and Kurt and Lizzy on the other.

Not too much longer, he came back with three menus.

Blaine took a look on it and noticed how Kurt scanned through it with Lizzy, trying to find something she would love to eat.

Blaine was happy he had looked up if they had a menu for children. Besides, every child liked chicken nuggets or spaghetti, right?

Much to his relieve, he heard Lizzy and Kurt agree on the chicken nuggets with carrots and French fries.

Blaine took a look at his menu and decided to go for some fish with vegetables and French fries.

When he looked up again, he saw Lizzy look at him curiously.

Blaine looked at her with a small smile on his face and question in his eyes.

The little girl started biting on her fingers as she looked at him, like she wanted to ask something but she didn't know how.

And just when Blaine wanted to tell her that it was ok to ask him something, she stopped biting on her fingers and pointed towards the presents that were laying on the table.

Blaine hadn't even realized he hadn't given them yet and laid them on the table.

“Is that for me,” she asked shyly as she hopped a little on her seat in excitement.

“Hmm … I don't know. Maybe you should open this one and you'll know,” Blaine said as he took the biggest one and held it out for her.

Lizzy took the present excitedly but didn't open it yet. “And that one,” she asked curiously.

Blaine chuckled, “I might have brought a present for your dad too.”

Kurt looked up at him once he heard his name and looked at him in confusion over his menu. “Did you just say for me?”

Blaine shrugged. “It's only fair you know. If I get to spoil one, I can't help but spoil the other.”

Kurt chuckled. “You shouldn't have,” he stated.

Blaine shrugged once more. “Maybe I shouldn't have, but I wanted to,” he said as he held up the little present for Kurt.

Kurt took it just as shyly in a way that reminded him about Lizzy.

Kurt looked at Lizzy and waved towards the present she was holding. “You should open it.”

She rolled her eyes to him but started opening the present. It was funny to watch her struggle with it because it looked like she wanted to open it as fast as possible but in the meantime she wanted to be as careful as possible.

And then she was finally undoing the last piece of paper that held her from her price.

She started clapping her hands in excitement when she held up one of the larger elephant stuffed toys from the zoo. “Daddy, I got an elephant,” she grinned.

Kurt grinned. “I see. So what's his name?”

The little girl started thinking about it and looked at the elephant. Her little hand was playing with the ear from the elephant as she looked at it. “I don't know,” she told him as she bit on her lip.

“How about Jumbo,” asked Blaine.

The little girl looked at him, still biting her lip. “Why?”

“Well, it would be a reminder of your birthday. The elephant you gave apples to, his name is Jumbo,” Blaine explained.

The girl looked at him with wide eyes before she nodded her head and started playing further with the elephant it's ears.

Blaine watched her fondly and didn't notice how Kurt had started unpacking his little present.

It wasn't until he heard Kurt let out a giggle that he looked up at him. Kurt was holding an elephant brooch and was giggling about it.

“This is so cute!” he exclaimed.

Blaine blushed a little. “Well I thought you might want a reminder too about the day at the zoo and well,” he added a little embarrassed as he rubbed over his neck, “ a little reminder about me.”

Kurt's eyes lit up immediately as he answered softly, “Like I need a reminder about you.”

Carefully, he pinned the brooch on his shirt and showed it off to Lizzy who was fascinated with it.

The waiter who had been watching from a distance, walked towards them and asked them what they wanted to order.

The adults ordered as Lizzy showed her new elephant to the waiter who was obviously playing like he was jealous about it, much to Lizzy's excitement.

The waiter complemented Lizzy on her teddy once more before he left their table to get their food.

Kurt let his hand wander through his daughter her hair. “She is going to be walking around with Jumbo for the next weeks,” he said as he watched her.

“Well I'm glad she likes it,” grinned Blaine.

They made some small talk until their food arrived while Lizzy was talking softly towards her new teddy.

Blaine would look at her sometimes and smile because honestly it warmed his heart to see Lizzy like this and he hoped he'd be able to see it a lot more times.

Sometimes Kurt would catch him watching and Blaine would look back at him to see him lean on his hand while he smiled towards him. It felt perfect.

It was only during dinner that Lizzy decided to join the conversation, making it her mission to tell Blaine all about the child care she was going to and about all the friends she had made.

Blaine would nod at her and make the appropriate noises when she wanted them, something being surprised, sometimes telling her he wanted to go to her child care again which made Lizzy giggle.

It was an amazing afternoon and once dinner was finished, they decided to go to the playground while they waited for their desert, some ice cream.

Lizzy looked at the playground and looked at Blaine with huge eyes. “Can I go on the slide.”

“Well of course you can,” smiled Blaine.

What he didn't expect was how Lizzy took his hand and started tugging him towards it.

“Euhm, Lizzy, I think I'm a little too big to go from the slide,” admitted Blaine.

“No you are not,” she grinned as she let go of his hand and started climbing up the stairs.

Once upstairs, she looked confused as to way Blaine wasn't there yet and she started shouting towards him to come upstairs, clapping all adorable.

Blaine just couldn't say no so he carefully started to climb the stairs.

It was a good thing he wasn't the most large person.

Once upstairs, Lizzy pointed towards the slide. Blaine took a seat and fitted just to slide down.

Lizzy took a seat on his lap and started making impatient noises, clearly wanting to get down.

Kurt was looking from a distance, his phone in his hand as he was filming or taking photos, smiling widely and clearly trying to hide his giggles.

Blaine counted to 3 before he slid both of them down the slide, which made Lizzy giggle and throw her tiny arms in the air as Blaine held her closely.

Once they were down, she jumped from his lap and started running back towards the slide, calling for Blaine.

In the end, Blaine couldn't remember how many times they went off the slide.

People had stopped watching after a while and Kurt had probably enough footage for the next few years about him, which seemed quite unfair but they all had fun so that was the most important.

It was only when the waiter walked towards them, holding a plate with ice cream on it, that they left the playground and went to eat their ice-cream before it melted.

Blaine looked towards Kurt while he was playing a bit with his ice cream. “You better send me those pictures or videos or whatever you made,” he grinned.

“Maybe,” said Kurt but the twinkle in his eyes told him he would probably need to beg for those.

They stole little glances towards each other as they enjoyed their ice cream.

Once they were finished, Blaine asked for the bill as Lizzy was starting to get tired and a little fuzzy.

Playing had probably worn her out.

Blaine paid for everything, much to Kurt's dismay but still he won.

They walked out the restaurant, Kurt holding Lizzy on his hip as she was slowly closing her times every few times.

Blaine leaned forward and laid his hand on her cheek as he leaned a little lower so they were on eye height.

“Thank you for joining me on this amazing date, Lizzy,” he said with a soft smile.

The girl hugged the teddy she was holding a little closer and nodded towards him, clearly already entering the world of dreams.

Blaine let his fingers brush over her cheek. “Goodnight and sweet dreams Lizzy.”

He watched Kurt carefully tuck her in her seat before walking back towards him.

“Thank you for today. I really had a good time and I know Lizzy had a great day too. It means a lot to me that you took your time to look for something that was also nice for Lizzy. I think I'll remember this one, definitely something to come back to,” he said as he took Blaine's hand in his.

“I'm glad you both had a good time. I'm still waiting though for you to send those pictures or videos” Blaine grinned.

Kurt giggled, “Maybe next time,” he said as he bit on his lip.

Blaine leaned forward until they were chest to chest, his breath mingling with Kurt's.

“So how are you going to make me believe,” he whispered softly as his eyes slowly went down towards Kurt's lip, which he was still biting.

He looked up to see Kurt staring towards his lips. His heart did a little further and he couldn't help himself from leaning forward slowly until his lips met Kurt's.

He let out his breath through his nose as he let his lips slowly move against Kurt's.

His hands slowly went up until he was cupping Kurt's cheek.

They just stood like that for a while, letting their lips move together and holding each other.

Kurt was the first one to lean away, letting out a shaky breath as he leaned forward once more to peck his lips.

“I'll text you,” he whispered towards Blaine as he looked into his eyes.

“I'll be waiting for it,” whispered Blaine back as he kissed him once more before turning around and walking towards his car, not able to get the huge smile off his face.

He had never felt more perfect and more complete.

Blaine stepped into his car and left the restaurant behind, looking back once more.

 

It was a day he would never forget.
