Blaine patted Jumbo's trunk as he took a piece of apple out of his hand.

It was a quiet day at the zoo, which was probably caused by the rain that was falling heavily on the ground.

In the end, it looked like the zoo had decided to close for the day so that left Blaine with a shift where he just had to make sure everything would be ok for his favorite animals.

Some thunder was heard in the distance, but Jumbo didn't really care as he took another apple.

Blaine just gave him food until there was not one piece left in his buckets.

Wes had given the others food earlier, just in case it would start to rain so heavily because he knew how demanding Jumbo was.

Jumbo stretched his trunk and tried to reach in the bucket, trying to find another piece, like Blaine would hide it from him.

Blaine chuckled and padded his trunk once more. “You'll never change, will you,” he asked between chuckles.

Somewhere behind him, he heard the beeping sound of his phone.

Carefully he stepped over the buckets to get to his phone.

A smile appeared on his face when he noticed the message from Kurt.

They had been texting back and forth ever since their date with Lizzy, which had turned out to be an amazing idea!

Lizzy had apparently told Kurt's parents all about it and all the kids in her class.

It had actually made him blush when Kurt had texted him all about it.

A soft smile spread on his lips when he looked at the picture that filled his screen.

It was a selfie of Kurt, holding a what appeared to be a sleeping Lizzy who was holding tightly on her elephant teddy as she sucked her thumb.

It was so adorable! He let out a happy sigh as he saved the picture on his phone and made it his phone background.

He didn't care if it was too soon or not, this was just so cute!

He was about to type a reply when he felt someone look over his shoulder.

In his shock, he jumped forward a little as he turn around, which made Wes laugh loudly.

“Are you hiding something, Blaine,” he said between his laughs.

Blaine held his hand over his fast beating heart, “It's not funny Wesley and you know it!”

Wes pouted a bit as he looked towards the phone Blaine was holding.

“Can I see that lovely picture,” he asked still pouting.

Blaine let out a sigh. Ever since Wes knew that Blaine had been going on a date with Kurt, he had bothered him and asked him to see a picture or being introduced.

He held out his phone for Wes which was showing the picture of Kurt and Lizzy.

“Awwhh,” coed Wes, “so that's the little girl you were talking about?”

Blaine nodded with a soft smile, “Yeah, she is the cutest.”

Wes chuckled, “and I see you are trying to give her your love for elephants.”

Blaine chuckled along, “She loved it.”

“I can see that,” said Wes. “So when am I going to meet these two as one of your best friends.”

Blaine shrugged, “I guess whenever the time is right. We haven't been official yet, just going on a few dates.”

Wes rolled his eyes, “Yeah right, make yourself believe that. Blaine It's all I have been hearing for the past week whenever I see you. About Kurt this and Lizzy that!”

It was Blaine his time to roll his eyes, “You are so over-exaggerating Wes!”

“Am not,” said Wes with a pout as he crossed his arms in front of his chest.

Jumbo made a noise on the background as he moved his trunk around.

Wes pointed towards Jumbo with a huge grin on his face, “See, I am not the only one thinking that.”

He moved towards Jumbo and patted his trunk, “It's all he has been talking about to you too, isn't it. Poor poor Jumbo!”

Blaine couldn't help but chuckle at that. “Jumbo, you better be careful. Remember who gives you food!”

Wes could only chuckle along with Blaine as he patted Jumbo's trunk. “soooo,” he hinted.

Blaine threw up his hands in the air, “Fine, I'll see what I can do. Maybe I'll bring them along for a day to the zoo or something.”

Wes nodded in agreement, “That sounds like a plan. Now excuse me, I have to clean the cages of the ladies.”

Blaine chuckled as he watched Wes walk towards the female elephants building.

He took the buckets that we're still on the ground and placed them neatly on the table.

He looked at his phone once more and smiled at the picture that looked back at him.

Without much thought, he took his phone and stood in front of the cages of Jumbo.

He held the phone in front of him and grinned widely towards the camera.

With a last check if it looked ok, he send it to Kurt, knowing it would only be the beginning of many text messages.

Blaine walked into his apartment. With a heavy sigh, he walked towards the couch and let himself fall onto it.

He fell like he could sleep for ages.

While working at the zoo was a lot of fun, it was also very hard work.

They had to clean the cages for example which was for the elephants a hellish work to do.

And if Jumbo decided he is in the playing mood, which had been the case, it only makes it worse.

Slowly his thoughts drifted away from his work as his thoughts entered the world of dreams.

And then there was knock on the door.

Blaine wasn't even sure if he would make it towards the door. He thought about staying on the couch, just laying down as he almost never got a visit.

But then there was another knock and with a sigh he heaved himself off the couch and towards the door.

Slowly he made his way towards the door as another knock sounded, a little more quiet this time.

He opened the door with a scowl on his face, ready to give the person on the other side a piece of his mind when he noticed Kurt standing there, holding a happily looking Lizzy and her elephants.

Immediately the anger ebbed away and a genuine smile spread on his face.

“Well hello there,” he said softly as he let his finger first wander over Lizzy's cheek before it moved towards Kurt.

“Now this is what I call a nice visit,” he said with a grin.

Kurt looked a little worried, obvious of the scowl that had filled his face when he had opened the door. “I'm sorry, I should have called you or texted you. Maybe we should come back another time?”

Blaine just shook his head and pressed a kiss on his cheek, “No it's fine. Just had a long day but I'm happy to see you. It's a nice surprise.”

He took a step back and let them into his apartment.

It was the first time that Kurt had really gotten a chance to take a look in Blaine's apartment which made Blaine a little worried.

It wasn't a huge apartment but cozy enough for at least two persons.

The inside looked more modern with tints of white, earth brown and grey.

Lizzy ran towards the couch and let herself fall on it, which almost gave Kurt a heart attack.

Blaine noticed and placed his hand on his shoulder to tell him it was ok as he walked towards the couch and took a seat next to Lizzy.

Lizzy looked at him curiously from behind her elephant teddy.

Blaine smiled at her, hoping she felt at least a little more comfortable now that it was the third time she was seeing him.

“So what do you want to do Lizzy,” he asked.

The little girl was biting on her thumb a little as she looked around in wonder.

“I've got some board games here, do you want to play some with me?”

Lizzy perked up at the idea and nodded her head in excitement.

Blaine chuckled and walked inside his bedroom to look for the few games he had still laying there from when he and Cooper were little.

He entered the Livingroom again with 4 boxes in his hand and found Kurt sitting on the couch, holding Lizzy who was already talking excited.

Kurt looked up when he saw Blaine enter the room and grinned up at him. “Lizzy, why don't you pick a game and we'll join you when you have chosen?”

Lizzy hopped off his lap and walked towards the small kitchen table where Blaine had stored the boxes.

She started going through them as she hopped on the chair and sat on her knees to peer over the table.

Blaine shook his head as he tried to hide his chuckles and took a seat next to Kurt.

“So any reason why you are here,” he asked playfully.

Kurt shrugged, “Maybe I just missed you.”

Blaine cupped his cheek and leaned forward until their foreheads were touching in the middle, “I think that's an acceptable reason,” he grinned as he leaned forward and kissed him softly.

“Why is that,” asked Kurt with a smirk on his face as he pulled away.

Blaine faked like he was thinking as a smile spread on his lips, “Because I'm sure I missed you just as much.”

Lizzy let out a shout of excitement as she found a game she wanted to play, which was the end of their little alone time.

Kurt smiled apological towards Blaine as he stood up and held out his hand, “Looks like I have to beat you.”

“Hmm,” Blaine said as he let himself being pulled up by Kurt, “I think we both know the little princess will win.”

Which made Kurt shrug and smirk a little, knowing fully well that that was the only acceptable thing.

So in the end, they played 4 times of which Lizzy won twice and Kurt won twice, much to Blaine's dismay as Kurt grinned in triumph. But well, he was just happy to see them happy.

After 4 games, they were getting hungry and ordered some pizza, which made Lizzy very excited.

And when it was time for them to go, Blaine really didn't feel like letting them go. But he knew that if things kept progressing, there would be a time there would be no more goodbye's.

So he kissed Lizzy on the cheek before he kissed her daddy softly and waved at them until they were out of view, before he let himself fall in his bed as he let his mind go over the past few hours.

It had been the best surprise and he couldn't help but hope there would follow many more.
