Blaine whistled slowly under his breath as he started taking the buckets back to the building.

Jumbo had just gotten his food and was lazily walking around his terrain.

Blaine shook his head as he watched him walk around.

It was a quiet day at the zoo, even though it was a Saturday. A little strange if you asked Blaine but it wasn't like he minded. It gave him more reason to enjoy the day.

There was only one family standing behind the fence, looking at the elephants. They had helped Blaine a little before feeding the animals and the little boy with bounce red curly hair had happily accepted the privilege.

Blaine took the hose out of the building and started rolling it out until he was in front of the elephants.

He looked towards the fence. The family had left sadly enough so it looked like no one would be watching the elephant shower today.

He started rolling out the hose a little more when he heard the gate open slowly.

He turned to look up when he felt a little pair of arms wrap around his leg.

Blaine looked down a little startled to see Lizzy look up at him with her big eyes, “Hi Blaine.”

At first, he didn't really know what to do when he looked at Lizzy grinning. It was when he heard those soft giggles that he looked up and saw Kurt leaning against the gate with a smile on his face.

Next to him stood Wesley, grinning at him.

Blaine frowned a little as he picked up Lizzy and lit her sit on his lip. “Hello princess, what are you guys doing here,” he asked as he hugged her tightly and pressed a kiss on her forehead.

Lizzy giggled, still wearing her little blue princess dress. After Blaine had given it to her almost 2 weeks ago, it seemed like they still were inseparable.

“Daddy wanted to surprise you and told me I could come see Jumbo,” she said excitedly as she started gesturing widely with her arms.

It made Blaine wrap his arms around her a little more tightly, scared the he would make her fall.

“Well I loved the surprise,” he said with a smile as he started walking towards Kurt.

He pulled him in a side hug as he pressed a soft kiss against his lips, “I love the surprise.”

Kurt shrugged with a soft smile, “she has been talking for weeks about wanting to see Jumbo again and well I haven't seen you all week. Thought it might be nice.”

Blaine smiled softly, “well you picked the best day because there are barely visitors, well at least around here,” he said as he looked around the place.

“Yeah, it's the same around the rest of the park. But Lizzy absolutely loved it,” Kurt said as he stroked a piece of hair out of Lizzy her face.

She started squirming in Blaine's arms as she was looking longingly at the elephants.

Blaine carefully put her on the ground, knowing it was safe here for her to walk around a bit.

“And how did you met this weirdo,” he asked as he pointed at Wes who was only smirking.

Kurt shook his head, “I was actually walking around with Lizzy when this guy came walking to us and asked me if by any chance knew a Blaine Anderson. He told me he recognized me from a picture you had on your background and was kind enough to hold us company on our way here,” he added with a teasing smile.

Blaine slapped his hand softly against his head, “oh no, what did you say?”

Wes started grinning that smile that told it all, “oh nothing, just some stories about our first weeks as colleges.”

Blaine rolled his eyes, “seriously Wesley, I'll remember this when you have a new girlfriend.”

Wes shook his head, “won't happen. Staying single for life.”

Kurt chuckled, “I told myself the same after I got out of my last relationship and then this one zookeeper smiled at me once and I was gone.”

Wes chuckled, “oh he was too believe me. That smile when he gets your texts and when his phone starts ringing.”

Blaine slapped Wes playfully on his arm, “fine I see how it is. You better enjoy this few minutes you get to talk to my boyfriend. It will be your last,” he said in a singsong voice as he walked towards Lizzy who was looking in awe at Jumbo.

Blaine crouched down next to her and started rubbing of her back, “so you want to help me wash the elephants?”

Lizzy looked at him with big eyes and nodded excited. Blaine chuckled and started taking the hose in his hands. “Come here will you Lizzy,” he asked as he asked her to stand between his legs where he was crouched down.

“So you can put your hands here,” he said as he held the hose in his hands, “and I'll help you hold it because the water is very strong.”

Lizzy nodded in excitement as she watched Blaine shout towards Jumbo, calling him closer.

Jumbo looked up in interest, knowing what was about to happen and started making his way lazily towards them.

It was one of the most fascinating things to Blaine, watching such a large creature  moving around.

When Jumbo was close enough, he started opening the hose until enough water was escaping.

Lizzy startled a bit as the power of the water catapulted her back a bit against Blaine's chest, who just made sure she wouldn't fall.

He watched jumbo get comfortable in the water as he opened his mouth and started catching some.

Lizzy started giggling as she tried to point the water towards his open mouth.

Blaine let out a chuckle, “looks like you'll be a zookeeper on your own soon.”

Lizzy looked up with that twinkle in her eyes, “so I'll be able to see the elephants every day,” she wondered as she bit her lip.

Blaine nodded his head, “yes you would.”

She let out a happy sigh, “that would be my dream.”

Blaine shook his head, “but first you have to study princess. But maybe me and Kurt can work something out so you'll be able to visit more often.”

She nodded as she looked back at Jumbo, probably not having heard half of what he said.

When he was sure Jumbo and the others were clean enough, he started turning off the hose.

Lizzy started pouting towards him but Blaine shook his head, “they are all clean princess. But maybe you can do it again soon, ok?”

He couldn't deny her anything and he knew that would be a huge problem in the future.

He started putting the hose away when he felt a hand touch his shoulder.

As he looked over his shoulder, he noticed Wesley standing there.

“So you want to take the rest of the day off? It's close to the end of your shift anyway and there is barely any visitors anyway. I might as well do it on my own.”

Blaine bit his lip, “you sure? I don't want to give you all the work.”

Wes rolled his eyes,” Blaine it's fine. It's only a bit of cleaning up work and getting the elephants in their building. It will be fine.”

Blaine wrapped Wes in a hug and patted his shoulder, “thank you. I'll make it up to you.”

Wes grinned, “we can call it even if you bring Kurt around more often. I have so much more stories to tell him.”

Blaine rolled his eyes and slapped his friend playfully on the back of his head, “now I thought for a moment you were a good friend.”

Wes chuckled, “I'm your best friend. Don't even deny it Anderson. Have fun with Kurt and Lizzy for the rest of the day ok?”

Blaine nodded and happily walked towards the family waiting for him.

Lizzy was sitting on Kurt's hip and biting on her bottom lip as she watched the elephants from where she was leaning her head on Kurt's shoulder.

“I take it that you have taken Wes up on his offer,” Kurt asked with a soft smile as his hand softly took his.

“How could I say no to such an amazing offer,” Blaine answered with a toothy smile. “I missed you guys.”

He leaned forward and pressed his lips softly against Kurt's. He leaned into the touch as his lips moved slowly against Kurt's, not wanting to let go just yet.

It was only when Lizzy looked back and made yuck noises that Blaine let go of Kurt and took Lizzy over. He started tickling her as she tried to slap his fingers away and started giggling.

Blaine started laughing himself as he shook his head, “how about you tell me where you guys already went and I can tour you around the rest of the place.”

Lizzy started clapping her hands in excitement and started telling him all about the monkeys she had already seen.”

Kurt shook his head as he watched them fondly, he loved every moment of it.

Lizzy started wiggling again in Blaine's arms as Blaine told her about the beautiful birds they had at the bird building.

Blaine put her on the ground and took her hand instead before he took Kurt's with his other hand, happily swinging their hands in between him.

“Now this is perfect,” he said with a soft smile as they walked inside the bird building. Lizzy immediately let go of his hand and started looking at a few of the huge birds of prey.

Kurt squeezed his hand, “if only every day could be like this.”

Blaine let go of his hand and wrapped him lovingly in his arms, “what about you and I look for a place together?”

Kurt looked at him a little shocked. Of course it had been on his mind but still it was quiet early.

Blaine seemed to read his mind as he started talking again, “I know it's early but I really really love you Kurt and I love that little princess,” he added as he looked behind him where Lizzy was still staring at the birds, “with everything I have. I really want us to be a family.”

Kurt couldn't help but let the smile spread on his lips.

“So is that a yes,” Blaine whispered in his ear as he pressed a kiss just below it.

Kurt  shook his head, “you have to ask Lizzy first.”

Blaine nodded and slowly unwrapped his arms as he crouched down on Lizzy's level.

Lizzy looked up and started immediately pointing at the big bird. Blaine shook his head, he loved that enthusiasm she seems to have gotten from her daddy.

He listened to her talk about the bird and his big feathers until she had told everything on her mind.

Blaine nodded at every appropriate time. “So Lizzy, I've been talking with your daddy and I've been wondering if you guys would like to move in with me.”

Lizzy looked a little confused as she looked up at him.

“Like we could all live together and I would be able to see you and your daddy every day.”

She nodded her head but seemed a little hesitant, “want about grandpa and grandma.”

Blaine looked at her with a soft smile, “maybe we can find a house close to your grandpa and grandma and you can visit them every day. How does that sound?”

Lizzy still looked a little hesitant but the twinkle was slowly appearing in her eyes, “so can I paint my new room,” she asked with a grin.

Blaine shook his head, “yes you can. We can look at it together, ok?”

Lizzy nodded as another animal caught her attention and she started running to the glass to look at it.

Blaine stood up and dusted of his pants as he felt two arms wrap around his waist. “Looks like you and me will be house haunting,” Kurt whispered as he pressed a kiss against his shoulder.

Blaine placed his hands over Kurt's, ‘I can't wait for it.”

They shared a soft smile as they started following Lizzy around the bird house. Their hands clasped together tightly in between them as they sneaked loving glances towards each other.

And by the end of the day when they kissed goodbye, they knew it was only a matter of time before it would be a kiss goodnight before they would fall asleep every night in each other's arms.
