Englishman vs. Frenchman
Santana's POV
When she had started this deal with Kurt, it was to get two things out of it.
One, get Kurt to come out and have some fun with her. She always thought he had been entertaining to hang out with and always enjoyed being with him.
When his Dad and her mom had married many years ago, she had been thrilled to find out that she would get a brother out of it and even more when she found out that Kurt was only two years younger than her. They had hit it off right from the start, she liked Kurt's witty comments and his bitchyness sometimes and she had to admit that his more softer side where he cared about people and wanted the one he loves to be happy, well over the years that side have brushed off on her.
And that lead to the other thing she wanted to gain from this deal, because she wanted to see him happy, to see him smile.
In the beginning of this week, he had been his normal self, but then something happened on the second day and he had been smiling more and more since then.
She knew it wasn't from one of the four dates he had been on, because even though she thought that all of them would be great matches to him, apparently her senses had failed a little. Sam and Blaine had been one thing and Noah - Well, Noah she had have her own fun with. The date last night was kind of a joker, it wasn't because she thought Chandler would have been in Kurt's taste of men, but he had sounded like a man with a lot in common with Kurt, so she had set them up.
When Kurt had come home last night he had been all smiles and his eyes had been shining like a kid who finally had gotten the puppy for christmas he wanted. When she had asked how the date had been, Kurt had just shook his head and said never again and then babbled about who even says that eyes are as blue as window cleaner as a compliment or compare you to a mcdonalds burger.
Then he had walked into his room and closed the door.
The thing was, if that date had not been going like he wanted too why did he looked so happy then?
She hated when she couldn't figure things out, so she had to come up with a plan. She had to know what was going on.

Kurt's POV
He had been busy at work today and now it was 20 minutes before he finally could call it the day off, so he started to collect his things and then he would head down to Isabel's office, because she had requested a meeting with him.
As he walked down the hall, he didn't knew what to expect, he had been getting a lot of praise for his work at Vogue, so it couldn't be anything about that.
He was about to knock on the office door, when Isabel opened it and smiled.
20 minutes later he was walking out of the office, with a paper in his hand.
He couldn't believe this, he was sure he had to be dreaming, because this doesn't happened in real life.
He looked down on the paper again.
Kurt Elisabeth Hummel.
We will like to offer you a internship for three months in Europe, starting this monday.
Well, apparently it did happen in real life, because he had just been offered three months paid internship in a new department Vogue would be opening in Europe, Scandinavia.

Sebastian's POV.
Completely and utterly in love.
It was kind of a cliche if you think about it.
It had just been a regular day in the restaurant and then it had happened, Kurt Hummel had made his entrance, not only into the restaurant, but into Sebastian's heart too.
And now seeing Kurt was the highlight of his say, even though every time he had seen the man had been when Kurt had been on dates with other men, men who weren't Sebastian.
But just seeing Kurt, made him forget about all other things, about work, about the stress who could come from being the owner of that many restaurants and things like that. Just looking at his little nose when it scrunches up, or the way he smile this half smile sometimes, or…
He was shaken out of his thoughts when the door to his revisor opened and he was told to come inside.
He sighed and got up, yet another day when he had to deal with financial stuff.

Kurt's POV.
He couldn't help but smile when he entered Sweet Tastings, this had turned out to be one of the best days in a long time. Not only would he been going to Europe in a couple of days, he had also had a very cute message from Sebastian earlier, when he had texted him about the internship.
Sebastian
That's incredible, can't say how happy i am to hear that, Mon rayon de soleil.
I wished i could celebrate with you, but i am still to experience the wonder of being on a date with you ;)
Kurt may have squealed when he received it, he loved Sebastian calling him Mon rayon de soleil, both because it was such a sweet name and then of course because it was french.
But Sebastian also kind of implied that he wanted to go on a date with him, so yeah squealing may have happened.
Now as he entered Sweet Tastings, his eyes immediately darted around the room to find the pair off green eyes he had falling a little bit in love with, but when he didn't found Sebastian anywhere, he let his eyes drift to his table and then stopped.
Because on a chair was sitting a really fine looking man, with blue eyes and a beanie on his head, a small shy smile on his lips.
That must be Adam!
The man looked up and his eyes drifted over Kurt's face first then over his body and then the man stood.
"Hi, You're Kurt right?" He said and took a step towards him.
Kurt gulped, because he had kinda forgotten about that he was actually here to go on a date, his mind had been a little occupied with someone else.
"Yeah. Ehm..Adam?" He asked and greeted the man with a handshake.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, i have been looking forward to this evening." Adam said and then stepped around Kurt to get out his chair, gesturing for Kurt to sit down.
And oh, a gentleman.
Adam sat down on the other side of the table and folded his hand, giving him a smile.
"So, Adam." Kurt began and couldn't help but smile back. "Tell me about yourself."
"Well, i'm actually from England, but got into NYADA, which i just graduated from this year, i love music theater and just started a job as a statist in the next produktion off Phantom of the opera."
Kurt nodded and leaned in his hands, he had to admit Adam sounded really interesting and he had a cute accent.
It turned out that he was a couple of years older than himself and in his book well it was a plus.
One of the waiters came over and they ordered something to drink and eat, before the conversation drifted to what Kurt was doing and Adam sounded impressed when he told him about Vogue and even more when he told about the internship he had just gotten.
When there food arrived, Kurt let his eyes drift over to the bar, but didn't see any signs off Sebastian yet, so he looked back at Adam, asking him about what he liked about England.
"I'm actually a big royalist, so of course Queen Elizabeth." Adam grinned at him, when Kurt nodded.
"Yeah, yeah, me too, though i look forward to when her son William and his lovely wife Kate will takeover. It will be like the old fairy tales when the country will be run by a king and his queen." Kurt smiled.
"It will be like a fairytale. Speaking of that, what is your favorite fairytale?" Adam asked and took a piece of food.
Kurt cut his salmon as he thought about that.
"I think it have to be snow white, the disney version. Though i always found that one a little scary when i was a child."
"How so?"
"I remember seeing that movie, and i was too scared to eat any red appled for months afterwards."
Adam laughed. "That's actually kind of sweet."
Kurt took a piece of salmon into his mouth, this was definitely the best date and Adam was really sweet.
But he wasn't Sebastian.
And when one of the waiters came over to ask if they needed anything and Adam replied with no thank you, Kurt couldn't help but ask.
"Will Sebastian be in today?"
The waiter looked at him and smiled.
"I don't think so. He send us a text earlier saying that he had to close some financial things and he would be back tomorrow."
"Oh."
Adam knocked Kurt with his foot under the table "Who is Sebastian?"
Kurt could feel the heat in his cheeks, he hadn't meant to ask about Sebastian, but he was kind of disappointed that he wouldn't get to see him today.
"He is the owner of this place." He settled with, not knowing what else to say.
He couldn't really say he is man who i have kinda fallen in love with the last four days, when i have been here on dates.
Adam looked at him a couple of seconds.
"Okay." And then he took a piece of his beef.
They continued eating and talked about broadway, vogue and England.
But Kurt still felt like something was missing.
That was until 30 minutes later he received a message, excusing himself when he took out his phone and saw it was from Sebastian.
Sebastian.
Hi Mon rayon de soleil.
How is the date going?
Kurt.
To be honest it is going very well.
Sebastian.
:(
Sebastian.
Sorry, i didn't meant to send that. I'm glad it's going great, you deserve an amazing date.
Kurt.
Where are you?
Kurt.
And thanks.
Sebastian.
I'm home, had to deal with some work stuff, so i won't be in tonight.
Kurt.
:(
Kurt.
Won't say I'm sorry for that one.
Sebastian.
:)
Kurt looked up at adam, who sat looking at him.
"It's ehh.." He said and tried to put his phone back in his pocket.
Adam leaned over the table.
"Kurt. I need to be honest with you. I really enjoy this date and you are an amazing guy, who i would be happy to get to know better."
Kurt blinked, he sensed a but.
"But?"
"But.. You just seem to want to be somewhere else maybe."
"Oh…. It's not .." Kurt looked up, seeing Adam had sat back in his chair, his arms crossed and had one eyebrow lifted.
Okay, time to be honest.
"You do seem like a very sweet guy and i'm sure we would have had fun together.. "
This time it was Adam who sensed a but. "But.."
"But, i don't think the timing is that good." Kurt ended.
"Because of Sebastian.?" Adam asked.
"Yes, because of Sebastian.." Kurt agreed.
"How about, we finish up here and then you text the guy if he will be up in an hour? And then you text me later to tell me how it went."
Kurt looked at Adam and nodded, before he typed another message.
(Break)
Sebastian's POV
Kurt hadn't replied for several minutes, maybe they date was going that good that he didn't wanted. He drove a hand to his hair, just when his phone got off again.
He almost dropped it when he tried reading it.
Kurt.
Do you have time to meet me in an hour, around the corner of the restaurant?
He wanted to meet, Kurt wanted to meet up with him.
Sebastian.
Yes. Of course, i will. I would be happy too.
And okay, that was maybe a little too enthusiastic, so he send another one right after.
Sebastian.
Delete the first one, please (I may have been a little over excited)
What i meant to write was.
An hour, yes sure i will be there.
Kurt
I'm not gonna ignore the first one ;)
Sebastian grinned at the message and then dropped his phone to go get a bath, because he would see Kurt soon.. And shit he would be seeing Kurt soon, which would be the first time the two ever would be alone.
Was this a date?
No, because Kurt was on a date right now and sure didn't wanted another date right after the one he was on right now.
But if this wasn't a date, why did he had this tingling feeling in his stomach just thinking about meeting the man.
His phone beeped informing him he had got a friend request on Facebook, so he clicked into that wondering for a brief moment who this woman was who just added him as a friend. He shook his head, he had more important stuff to do, so he grabbed a shirt and walked into the bathroom.
Kurt hugged Adam goodbye, and they agreed to see each other again as friends. Adam offered him goodbye and told him good luck and walked out.
Kurt looked around the restaurant and then down at his watch, 10 minutes before Sebastian would arrive, so he walked outside and around the corner, not wanting to let Sebastian wait.
As he came closer, he could see someone already being there, standing leaning up against the brick wall.
"Sebastian?" Kurt asked.
The green eyed man turned his head looking at him, offering him a big smile.
"Kurt, Mon rayon de soleil". He said and walked over towards him.
Kurt blushed and ducked his head, as Sebastian came closer.
"Hi." Sebastian said, shoving his hands down his pockets, because he didn't know if they should shake hands or hug? He did kiss Kurt on the cheek the other night, but.
"Hi." Kurt offered and looked up, his eyes lashes flickering a little.
"So wanna go for a walk?"
"Sure." Kurt agreed and they began walking.
At first they walked with a half arm's length between them, but kept glancing at each other, smiling whenever they caught the other one looking.
That was until Kurt stumbled over a rock and Sebastian reached out to grab him, his arms settled around Kurt's waist.
When Kurt had gotten the balance again, he looked up, seeing Sebastian looking down at him.
"Hi." He offered.
"Hi, right back." Sebastian said and removed a lock of hair from Kurt's face, before he added. "You look stunning tonight by the way."
"Thank you." Kurt said.
Neither of them moved, so they just stood staring at eachother, Sebastian's arms around Kurt's waist - and had his grip tightened a little? and Kurt's own arms settled on top of Sebastian's.
"When you came in the air went out
And every shadow filled up with doubt
I don't know who you think you are
But before the night is through
I wanna do bad things with you"
Kurt took several seconds before he recognized the song as his ringtone.
"It's my phone." He said, but the soon stopped before he had a chance to take out the phone.
"I thought it was just my head." Sebastian said and winked at Kurt.
Kurt felt his cheeks heat up and he was pretty sure he would have kissed Sebastian if the man hadn't taken a step back.
"Come on, let's walk a little more." Sebastian offered and held out his hand this time.
Kurt looked down and didn't hesitate to take the hand, enjoying his Sebastian's fingers immediately curled around his and how his thumb darted over his one time, before they began walking.

Kurt's POV
He couldn't help the goofy smile there was playing on his lips as he laid down in bed.
This day had been fantastic.
Adam had been nice to get to know and then there was the internship, he couldn't believe he would go to Scandinavia this monday.
Sebastian had been so happy when Kurt had told him, first over the phone and when he had asked Kurt more about it later, he had seemed so happy for him.
Sebastian, wow. They had walked around the town for an hour, before Kurt had to go home. At first they haven't talked much, just enjoying each other company.
Then he had stumbled and Sebastian had caught him and that had seem to shake them out of their little world.
The walked further on, this time holding hands.
As Kurt thought about it he couldn't help but let his fingers brush over the hand Sebastian had been holding earlier.
He came to think of one of his favorite quotes as a child "Nothing gets more intimate than the touch of a fingertip" He thought he understood that quoting now.
Beside him his phone beeped.
Sebastian
So, one more date right?
Kurt
One more date.
Sebastian
Would you like to go out with me this sunday then?
Kurt had to hide his face in his pillow and he kicked his legs.
Kurt
Of course.
Then he came to think about, that he didn't even know if he would be here by sunday because he to be in Scandinavia monday.
SHIT! He hadn't told Sebastian that he would actually leave this Monday already and be away for three months.
Sebastian
Can't wait.
And thanks for the walk this evening
Sebastian
I like holding your hand
Kurt looked down at his phone, not knowing what to say. He had just agreed to a date on sunday, but he didn't even know he would still be around by then.
He decided to ask Isabel tomorrow when he would have to take off and then afterwards he had to talk to Sebastian.
For now, he just wanted to enjoy this
Kurt
I liked it too
Sebastian
I'm glad.
Sweet dreams Mon rayon de soleil

Kurt
Sweet dreams Sebastian
