From A to Z

Z - Zoo Dates And Stuffies

By the time Vic and I headed towards the gift shop to have a look around I was exhausted. We'd spent almost the whole day looking at all of the animals. And I mean all of them. Lions, tigers, monkeys, penguins, giraffes, hippos, elephants. You name it, we saw it. It was fun to watch Vic as he got so mesmerised with all of the animals. His eyes would light up when he saw them and his mouth would open in a cute little o shape.

'So how come you like animals so much?' I asked Vic as we walked around looking at the souvenirs in the gift shop.

'You could tell huh? Well I'm really into art and animals are beautiful to draw and my father used to bring Mike and I here a lot when we were little.

'Hey maybe you could get a part time job here. Then you'd get to see the animals a lot more.' I suggested and Vic's face lit up.

'Hey that's not a bad idea. I might just do that. I could do with the money. Gotta save up to take you out again.' Vic laughed and I blushed.

'Hey I'm paying for our second date.' I huffed jokingly and pouted.

'Yes second date, that means you had a good time today!' Vic fist bumped the air and I giggled.

'Of course I had a good time today. I was with really cute animals and a really cute boy.' I said boldly. Vic smirked and flipped his head side to side.

'Where is this cute boy? Do I need to go have a little talk with him?' Vic asked.

'No silly the really cute boy is you.' I laughed and pushed Vic gently.

'Oh pshhh please, you're the fricken adorable one.' Vic said and I blushed even more.

'Um thanks. Let's go have a look around!' I said and walked off to look at the toy section of the shop. I tried to hide my blush as best I could but when I looked over my shoulder I saw Vic smirking at me. God damn him and his sexiness.

I looked through the toy section excitedly. I didn't want to buy anything. I just wanted to look. It helped me feel like the little I was, being around toys. I walked over to the stuffies and immediately a cute little snow tiger caught my eye. He was white and fluffy with sharp black stripes and he had sparkly, deep blue eyes. I couldn't take my eyes off of him. I started an internal battle in my head. Just get him Kellin, you have enough money. Think of your little space and how fun it will be to have a new stuffie friend. No I can't Vic might see. I should step away from the stuffies so no one sees me. And just as I was about to tear myself away from the stuffies I turned around and bumped straight into Vic.

'Get him.' Vic said.

'Uh what?' I asked, feeling embarrassed.

'The stuffie. Get him. I saw you looking at him.' Vic smiled.

'But I.....' I began to protest but Vic walked around me and took the little snow tiger from the pile of stuffies. He walked straight up to the cash register and plopped the snow tiger down so he could pull his money from his pocket.

'I'll take this please. And a bag for it too. Thank you.' Vic paid and quickly came back over to me. He shoved the plastic bag with the stuffie inside into my arms and smiled.

'He's yours.' Vic smiled and kissed my cheek again. I got butterflies in my stomach and felt all light and fluttery. It felt good.

'Thank you. You didn't have to do that Vic.' I smiled sheepishly and peeked into the bag to look at my new stuffie.

'I wanted to Kells. Come on, let's go to the cafe. I'm starving.' Vic said and took my hand in his, leading me towards the zoo's cafe. We entered the cafe and both ordered some coffee and something to eat. And of course Vic insisted he wanted to pay for my coffee and wrap that I'd ordered. I just rolled my eyes playfully and thanked him once again. He really was being such a gentleman and I have to admit I loved it.

'Thank you Vic. For everything today.' I smiled as we sat down with our food and coffee. He put his hand over mine on the table and smiled back.

'You're welcome. And thank you for being such a fun and cute date.' Vic said and squeezed my hand gently. I smiled and looked down to the plastic bag with my stuffie in sitting on my lap. I had another quick peek at my cute little snow tiger before setting the bag on the chair beside me so I could eat my food.

'Got a name for him?' Vic asked and nodded towards the bag.

'Um no.' I laughed nervously. I knew I'd have to tell Vic I was a little sometime and I'd rather do it now than later. Before I fell in love with him or something cliche like that.

'What about something generic like Snowy.' Vic suggested and I smiled excitedly. I looked to the little stuffie in the bag and petted his head softly.

'Snowy, I like it. Hey Snowy I'm Kellin.' I said then blushed when I realised I just talked to my stuffie in front of Vic.

'Um sorry about that.' I said and took a bite of my chicken wrap just for something to do.

'It's fine. Plenty of adults have stuffies and we're only 17 so I think you're fine with your lil guy over there.' Vic smiled, seemingly unfazed by my little space outburst. Right Kellin now is the time to tell him.

'Vic I'm a little.' I blurted out quickly. Once again he seemed unfazed.

'Cool.' Vic replied.

'Vic did you hear what I said?' I asked worriedly.

'You're a little.' Vic stated and he smiled. He actually smiled.

'Don't you think it's weird?' I asked. Most people didn't understand. That's why I kept myself to myself and kept my guard up.

'No Kellin I don't think it's weird. I think it's fricken adorable. I've been interested in the BDSM lifestyle for a while now. I know about caregiver and little relationships.' Vic said and took my hand again. He squeezed my hand reassuringly and took a sip of his coffee.

'Thank you so much.' I sighed in relief and almost teared up. He was being so kind and accepting.

'Kellin it's completely okay. I like taking care of people so if our relationship progresses then I would love to take care of you when you're in little space.' Vic said and then I really did start crying.

'C'mon let's go.' Vic said and guided me out of the cafe after we'd put our empty plates and cups on the tray rack for used dishes.

We got to the car quickly and after looking about and seeing no one else around I let my tears flow freely. Vic pulled me into his arms and squeezed me tightly. It felt good being in his strong arms. I felt safe.

'Hey now. Don't cry Kells. It's okay.' Vic said and stroked my hair softly.

'That's why I'm crying Vic. I'm so overwhelmed and happy because you've been so nice and understanding. I'm not used to that.' I cried happily and laughed a little. Vic smiled and kissed the top of my head.

'Kellin you deserve to be treated like a prince. If you let me I'll give you the world.' Vic said and looked into my eyes. He took my chin in his hand and pressed his lips against mine softly.
