A/N: What's up? This chapter is because I loved the zoo when I was younger. Yes, that is the only reason! I am so happy that everyone loves the stories and I can't wait to write this chapter! Cooper is 15 and Blaine is 5.
Disclaimer: I don't own and never have own anything that you may recognize.
Today was not just a regular Saturday. Today was the first time Blaine ever went to a birthday party AND his first time at the zoo. His parents were busy with work so they got Cooper to take him.
"Come on Coop! I don't want to be late!" Blaine yells jumping up and down holding the present he got for Wes. He got them the whole set of Power rangers and he absolutely knew that Wes would love them.
"Blaine, calm down. Kurt's mom and dad aren't even hear to come pick us up." As if on cue they heard a car honk. Looking out the window you could see an old Acura standing outside with Burt leaning against it.
"Come on kiddo." Cooper says picking up his brother and the gift. Grabbing his keys, phone, money, and their wristbands he heads out and greets Burt with a handshake and smile.
"We have the car seat set up right next to Kurt. He insisted that they sit near each other so both of them could see the movie." Burt says exaggerating his son's behavior with a smile.
"Hello, Cooper, Blaine." Kurt's mother says from the front after Cooper fastens Blaine in and takes his spot all the way in the back.
"Hello Mrs. Hummel." Cooper says about to scold Blaine for not saying anything in return until he saw him zapped into the Little Mermaid. They couldn't have picked something else?
"Is this the first time Blaine will be going to the zoo?" Kurt's mother, Elizabeth, asks starting up conversation with Cooper.
"Yes, actually. It'll be my first time as well." He says shrinking in his seat from the looks he gets from both of Kurt's parents.
"You have never been to the zoo, kid?" Kurt's dad, Burt, asks with wide eyes.
"No sure. My parents are never free to be able to drive us. Thank you for driving us by the way. It would have taken us around half an hour to get there and I'm not sure if Blaine could live through that." He says already seeing Blaine start to doze from the melodic voices blending together.
"It's no problem. When Kurt told me Blaine refused the offer because his parents couldn't go I told Kurt to go catch up to Blaine and tell him that we'd drive you guys." Burt says smiling looking at Blaine in the rear-view mirror focusing his eyes back onto the road.
They kept their silence until they finally had parked and Kurt poked Blaine awake.
"Kurt, don't do that." Elizabeth says taking her child out of his seat and setting him on the ground fixing his clothing. Cooper chuckles at the expression on Blaine's face. Surprised wasn't even the word! He unbuckles himself and waits for Cooper to come and get him out. Once out, Cooper fixes Blaine's bow-tie that he insisted on wearing and quickly smoothed the curls away from Blaine's face.
"Come on kids!" Cooper heard Burt call as both him and Blaine walked over to the front of the car following the family. Somehow Kurt and Blaine's hands locked together and it was like one big train going down to Burt holding hands with his wife, then down to Kurt, over to Blaine, and back up to Cooper.
"We're here for a Birthday party." Burt says giving him his ticket and asking Cooper for there's. Quickly digging into his pocket he pulls out the ticket that Blaine had shoved in his face the day he had gotten it from Wes.
"They're in the children play area right now. The visit and tour will start in about half an hour according to the schedule." Burt thanked the man and started walking into the zoo stopping suddenly realizing the neither Cooper nor Blaine were following.
"Guys, you coming?" Burt asks coming over and patting Cooper's shoulder as if to show his presence.
"Yeah." He says lifting Blaine up and carrying the bag of power rangers to where the party was at. Once they finally arrived Blaine had basically squirmed his way out of Cooper's grip and jumping down to the floor. He grabbed the present and ran to a young boy in a blazer who must have been Wes. They quickly exchanged greeting and congratulation from Blaine when he felt himself being tugged. He looked down and saw Blaine nodding towards Wes.
"This is my brother!" Blaine says to the young boy who was a bit taller then Blaine but still short in comparison to Cooper.
"Hey, Wes! Happy Birthday!" Cooper says excitedly watching as the young boy breaks out into a smile.
"Thank You!" He yells in a high pitch urging for Blaine to go over to all of Wes' friends. Both Wes and Kurt were in a grade higher then Blaine, but he still likes hanging with the older kids. He says the kids in his class are weird.
"Blaine's Brother!" He hears being yelled as he sees him being called by all the kids.
"Blaine says you guys have never been to the zoo!" A boy with blonde hair responds with another boy with black hair nodding next to him.
"That's right." Cooper answers kneeling down to be at eyes level with all of them.
"Then let's go!" Wes yells taking off to the first place that the person was leading them to. They went to go see the African cats, the penguins, the ostriches; they got to see the monkeys, and ride the train! The most exciting part for all the kids was the train ride around the whole zoo. They saw peacocks, kangaroos, and other things on the ride.
Finally it was time to eat, play, and then go home. They all ate pizza and had chocolate cake, which was definitely not the first thing Cooper would have fed Blaine if he wanted him to settle down. They ran around the playground and open field for a little bit until Wes told them the party was almost over and that they had to open gifts.
Nick had gotten him a Star Wars light saber which Blaine had quickly requested fro his birthday. Jeff got him the Pirates of the Caribbean series with his own Captain Jack action figure. Kurt got Wes a brand new blue razor scooter, and Blaine was the last one to share his gift with Wes after everyone else handed him more toys and clothes.
"Blaine! These are awesome!" Wes shrieked looking at all the different types of action figures.
"Now we can all play because there's more!" Blaine exclaimed with a big smile on his face bouncing in his brothers lap.
"Thank You!" Wes yelled after all the gifts were taken care of and all the families had started to disperse.
"Did you have fun?" Cooper asks laughing seeing as his brother was drop-dead tired. He buckled him hearing him mumble a quick 'mmhhmm' to his question seeing as Kurt was the same way. The car ride was done with questions about how school was going and about football.
"We're home bud." Cooper says unbuckling his baby brother from the car seat and settling him so he could lay his head on his shoulder.
"Bye Kurt." Blaine waves settling and closing his eyes as tiredness takes over. Both boys heard a quick 'buh-bye' from Kurt as he was still almost completely asleep.
"Thank you for driving us Mr. Hummel." Cooper says shaking the man's hand.
"Any time kid. How about a play-date for these two? Next weekend sound good." Burt asks going over to the driver's side of the car waiting for Cooper's answer.
"Sounds great, sir." He answers walking into his house after a wave of the hand. He walked up the stairs and quickly, as to not to disturb Blaine, cleaned him off and threw his clothes into the hamper changing him and worrying about brushing his teeth tomorrow. He walked over and settled him in his bed letting him sleep.
Taking off his own dirty clothes, Cooper pulls on some shorts and a t-shirt and climbs into bed with his brother turning on the TV and feeling him snuggle closer to the new found body heat.
A/N: I enjoyed the zoo when I was younger! I hope you guys enjoy this one, I got a little side tracked. My brother came in and scared the living hell out of me and then spilled a cup of freezing cold water on me! Not to mention that he whipped me with the towel he was cleaning the water up from. The worst part is that my brother is 24… So, hope you liked it! I now have 4 reviews! I am grateful and I will see you guys tomorrow because it's midnight and I have a long day tomorrow! Peace!
