"So what do you think?" Kurt asked Tina, although it was more to be polite because the girl had been gushing about everything he had shown her during their tour of the set. He had finished filming his scenes for the day in the morning and was exited to show Tina and Blaine around the set, but was disappointed when only Tina showed up. However the girl was entertaining to spend time with, not as uptight and high maintenance as some of the girls he knew back in the US. Of course most of his friends were actresses that kept being hounded by paparazzi, and Tina was very relaxed and even in a pretty dress she was much more hands on than any of the girls he knew. Now she was carrying around the puppy of one of the make-up ladies talking nonsense to the little black dog.

"Oh it's amazing!" Tina smiled, "If I wasn't going to be a vet I would so want to be an actress. It seems like such an exciting life." Kurt didn't have the heart to correct her, just because he was somewhat jaded and felt his job consisted of waiting and more waiting there was no reason to destroy her impression.

"Let's go see the horses," Tina said, interrupting his thoughts. Kurt winced, but she gave him such pleading eyes that he could not help but laugh and give in.

Tina was under the fence and cuddling the black beast before Kurt could finish saying "… and I guess you recognise Goliath." He stood, at a safe distance from the fence if you must know, and watched in mixed awe and bemusement as the tiny Asian girl scratched and stroked and talked to the gigantic horse.

"Friend of yours?" Kurt turned and saw it was Sam, one of the wranglers.

"Kinda…"

"She's good with him," Sam continued, observing Tina who was engrossed in Goliath. "Shame she's a girl."

"What!" Kurt exclaimed, did Sam know, that he… no one knew, he wasn't out.

"There's talk of getting you a stunt double, for the riding scenes. If she was a boy she could have got the job."

In Kurt's head he only saw a flash of golden brown eyes and dark curly hair.

"She knows someone…" he said eagerly.

One thing led to another and he found himself with Tina facing off a murderous Sue Sylvester.

"Well, Hummel, Creepy Asian, your investment in this is admirable, but un-necessary as I have already found your perfect body double. In fact, I have killed two birds with one stone as my idiot of a location manager conveniently forgot to get permission from the owner of the land we are currently standing on to actually shoot here. Since the curly haired man child cannot do his job, I have to do everything myself. Hummel, meet Sebastian, your fabulous stunt double and son of the gracious (Sue looked like she was chewing something rotten) land owner Mr. Smythe."

"Asshole." Kurt heard Tina mutter beside him, but he quickly forgot that as a tall young man approached. He was dressed in jeans and a polo t-shirt, both high end brands, and his hair was swept up, not unlike how Kurt liked to wear his when he wasn't filming.

"Kurt Hummel," the young man said, smiling confidently as he offered his hand. "Sebastian Smythe. May I say, you look so much better in real life."

"Excuse me?" Kurt said, he wasn't sure if he should feel offended or flattered.

"Much, much better," Sebastian said and held his gaze, and hand. Kurt blushed, the guy was flirting with him. Not that Kurt was unfamiliar with flirting, it was just that it was usually teenage girls and they were not interesting at all.

"Thank you," Kurt remembered his manners even when he was flustered. "It's a relief to have you here, you saved my ass."

"Does that mean your ass is in my depth, because I can think of a few ways that it can pay me back," Sebastian smirked, making Kurt go an even deeper red.

"If you are insinuating what I think you are, then you sorely mistake my ass for some cheap trick. However, me and my ass could buy you a meal as a thank you for saving us from utter humiliation, and it would be nice to get to know you since we are going to be working together."

Sebastian raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything. Instead he pulled out his phone and handed it to Kurt.

"Enter your details and I'll pick you up later, say seven thirty. I would say dress nicely, but I've seen your paparazzi pictures and know there's no need."

Kurt thumbed in his official number, not his private that only his family and close friends had access to, and handed the phone back. Sebastian left, and Kurt turned to find a fuming Tina behind him.

"Seriously?!"

"What?" Kurt decided to go on the defence, maybe if he played this the right way the blogs wouldn't be full off rumours about his sexuality tomorrow.

"Sebastian is the spawn of Satan. Why would you voluntarily spend any time with him? Is it because he is gay, because if it is I can fix you up with a much better boyfriend alternative. Like my friend Blaine. He's handsome and kind, and he has morals, unlike Sebastian…"

"Tina! I'm not gay." Kurt half whispered.

"Oh, I get that it's hush hush, but you can trust me Kurt. I am the best at keeping secrets, well except for that time when I told my friend Kitty about her surprise party… but that was an accident," she hurried to add at Kurt's incredulous stare.

Kurt didn't know what to say. He didn't know this girl and he'd always been careful so that nothing incriminating about his sexuality would reach the press. There was just too much going on inside his head right now to make a level headed decision. First of all was the fact that he had a date tonight, with a boy. That was a first. Second was the fact that a fan knew, somehow, that he was gay. On top of that he was hit with the realisation that she had told him that Blaine, gorgeous Blaine with the honey coloured eyes and the amazing curls, was gay. Which was why he just stood there dumbstruck, looking at Tina.

"Kurt?"

He came down to earth from where he had been flying through a daydream filled with dark curly hair, but also tall smirking guys.

"Sorry Tina, I… Please don't tell anyone about me, it could ruin my career." He beseeched the girl who slowly nodded her head.

"I still don't get why you would want to hang out with Sebastian though?" She had crossed her arms across her chest and it was clear that she wouldn't budge until she got a good answer.

"First of all, I offered to take him out because he will be my riding double, so it would be incredibly rude to cancel now. Second, it might be nice to get to know a gay guy my own age, being in the closet I try to avoid anything that might rouse suspicion with the press, so I don't have any gay friends."

Tina gave a sigh.

"Okay, you do what you want. But Kurt… I would make sure that someone knew where I was, and to only drink unopened drinks, because I wouldn't trust Sebastian to keep it in his pants."

Kurt gave a little laugh, but to himself he vowed to at least keep her advice in mind.

Later that night he scoffed at his own suspiciousness. Sebastian had picked him up with a driver, because as he had reminded Kurt, at seventeen he wasn't legally allowed to drive in Britain. They had been dropped off by a small, idyllic old mill that had been converted into a restaurant and Sebastian had been the perfect gentleman all evening. True, he made a lot of snarky comments, but after a while Kurt had let loose a little of his own inner bitch and the two got on like a house on fire. Kurt hadn't openly admitted it, but it was obvious that Sebastian knew he was gay. After some prodding from Sebastian they had started to discuss hot young guys and who they thought was gay or not, and Kurt felt relaxed enough to laugh along with Sebastian as they tried to figure out which one of the dwarves in the Hobbit was the gay one, or the gayest one.

There was a lull in the conversation when they got their dessert and Kurt found himself studying his dinner companion. Sebastian had impeccable table manners and was easy to talk to. He smiled a lot, an easy smile, not the smirk he had worn earlier that day at the film set. He really was very handsome, and confident. Kurt wasn't sure why Tina disliked him so much, but Sebastian seemed perfectly pleasant to him. He wondered if this dinner could be considered a date. Kurt had never been on a date before, but he hoped dates were kind of like this, because he was having a good time.

"Is this a date?" had he really blurted that out?

Sebastian gave little laugh.

"Sure, it can be a date. If you want it to be a date."

Kurt smiled and felt his ears getting warm.

"Aw, you're blushing." Sebastian was teasing him now, but not maliciously.

"I'd really like this to be a date," Kurt said, trying to keep his cool and not start squealing like a prepubescent girl.

"Great! How about we blow this joint then and go back to your hotel room for the rest of the date?" Sebastian said. Kurt stared at him with his mouth open, but decided that Sebastian couldn't seriously be suggesting what it seemed like he was.

"Mr. Smythe, I'm shocked. I am not that kind of boy," Kurt teased back. Sebastian broke out into a hearthy laugh.

"Let's just get the bill and we can talk about what kind of boy I think you are in the car back."
