Blake is actually the biggest sweetheart in the world. When i saw him at the very end of the night, there were a couple girls around trying to get pictures with him and this little girl who couldn’t have been more than seven kept trying but he couldn’t see her. When he did notice her, he was like “oh my god, i’m sorry!” and he swooped down and picked her up. After they took their picture, he set her down and was like “can i have a hug?” She looked at him for a while in confusion but finally hugged him and it was so cute because he is massive compared to her. Then she was like “i want you to win!” and he was like “thank you sweetie!!” sakdjsakljdaskldjaskldj he’s such a darling!! Asdfghjkl; Blake, why you gotta be so perfect?!

And now, some gif....
