Ch. 25: You Are My Only Beautiful Myth

A.N.: Life is getting in the way. Argh. And thanks for all of your precious information about Chinese New Year.

Disclaimer: I own nothing other than the plot and Daniel, Emily, Alan and Catherine. Characters like Chris, Olivia, Justine and Joseph belongs to Eraman; Tory, Addison belongs to Love of GLEEK. Logan is from CP Coultour. And neither do I own those songs I mentioned here.

Note: [Blablabla] = Lyrics translation, it is from Chinese because that is my mother language. :P


Before the Warblers left the school of McKinley, they were stopped by Burt again.

"Where are you going? You are coming home with us!" Burt said and Kurt glared at him.

"Mister, I repeat for one more time: I am not your son. My family name is Phillips."

"Kurt, I-"

"You seriously have the problem of dyslexia. My name is Carson, it is spelt C-A-R-S-O-N, it has two syllables not one. And as for being my father, I believe not." Kurt said and turned to join the Warblers who were waiting by the bus but was being grabbed at the arm. He turned back and saw Burt trying to yank him to his car, Finn were helping him too while Carole stood by the car.

"Stop. This. Right. Now!" Kurt hissed, with a strong compulsion filling in his voice. His iris changed from glasz to a deep sparkling blue, like the sea under the light of the sun or the moon. As soon as the Hudmels looked into his eyes, they froze.

"You will take these two with you and leave us alone." Kurt hissed and the Hudmels nodded. The strongest vampire in history is no joke when he's angry. Burt got into the car, Carole and Finn followed and they sped off. They wouldn't be able to control their own mind until they got home.

Kurt turned to his brothers. They all shared the same expression on his face: Anger.

"What the HELL is his problem?!" Blaine hissed. "After all the shits he said and did to Kurt, he thought that he just waltzes in, says something and takes Kurt back?!"

"He didn't even apologise!" Tory said angrily.

"Even if he apologised, I'm not forgiving him. Despite being a forgiving person, I do not tolerate betrayal." Kurt said calmly.

"How come you act so calm?" Fred asked.

"Believe me, my anger is still bubbling inside and it will make the explosion in Santorini* a little spark." Kurt said.

The group chuckled.

"Now guys. We have made through Regionals. So why don't we go celebrating tonight? It's Valentine's day." Thad said and everyone cheered as they arrived Neptune and got off the bus.

"Just be careful and don't get too drunk." Wes called as the group left the hall.


"What? The Alaskan is killed?!" Klaus's voice boomed in the empty hall.

"Ye… Yes, my lord." A frantic dark figure was kneeling on the floor. "A… Apparently, it is the new Phillips who killed him."

"Is that new born really that strong?" Klaus muttered to himself.

"Fine, you can now be dismissed, Frederick." He ordered.

"Yes lord. Goodnight, lord." The dark figure, Frederick said and bowed.

After Frederick disappeared from the large empty room, Klaus walked back to his chamber. Klaus smiled, a malicious smile that made everyone's body hair stood on its end.

"How is your day? My sweet." Klaus asked and a whimper was heard.

"You know it's no use to fight. Your sister won't come to save you. You belong to me, no one wants you. Be a good boy."

"Damn you!" A hoarse voice panted and sounds of rust chains moving could be heard.

"Now, now, that's not good. I guess I need to punish you."

A whimper was heard again but was cut off.


"So where are you taking me to?" Kurt asked his boyfriend curiously as they were in Sebastian's car. They were both dressed fashionably.

Sebastian was having a tight pair of dark denim, a blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up and the top three buttons undid, revealing his muscular chest (Kurt basically gulped and drooled when he saw him.), white vest, white tie and a silver bracelet that Kurt gave him as a Christmas gift. Kurt was dressed in deep blue skin-tight jeans, white shirt, a blue leather jacket and a pair of white boots. He had a silver necklace with two pendants: one was a silver bird while another one was a crystal blue sapphire locked in several silver strips. The bird is a welcoming gift for the Warblers to Kurt while the sapphire was the Christmas gift Sebastian gave him.

"Wait for ten more seconds." Sebastian smirked and Kurt raised his eyebrow.

"Oh. Here we are." Sebastian said as they stopped at an elegantly decorated restaurant. Kurt gasped.

"Franco Shore!" He exclaimed. "I've always wanted to go here! Thank you! Sebby!"

He kissed Sebastian who laughed.

"I can't believe I am having this. Having a boyfriend, who loves me with all his heart, and takes me to this elegant restaurant. Am I dreaming?" Kurt said a bit dreamily.

"No, dear. You are not dreaming. It is real." Sebastian smiled and Kurt kissed him.

"You keep on surprising me, Seb." Kurt said as they sat down and ordered their meals. They were sitting on this side of the square table so that they could hold hands underneath it and their knees could touch.

"If you are happy, then I'm happy." He said and the restaurant welcomed three more couples.

"Kurt! Sebastian!" Tina, Olivia and Justine exclaimed in delight. "I don't know you two will be here!"

"Is this your surprise as well?" Kurt teased and Sebastian blushed.

"No. I-" Sebastian said but was cut off by Wes tapping on his shoulder.

"Come here." Wes said.

"What?" Sebastian asked, a bit annoyed. But that looked was quickly replaced by a beaming smile after Wes muttered something next to his ears.

"Good. I can do that." Sebastian said and Kurt looked at him curiously.

"What's that, honey?" He asked.

"A secret." He said and Kurt raised his eyebrow, again. He looked at the girls but all the three of them were as clueless as him. They joined in and soon, their orders arrived. They were chatting happily before Wes sent a signal and all the boys on the table except Kurt stood up.

"Now, it's time to have your surprise, my sweet." Sebastian said as Wes gently kissed Olivia's hand before he headed to the piano in the middle of the room. Mike, Chris and Sebastian followed before kissing their partner on the cheek. It was a kind of a tradition for the restaurant to let their guests play when they wanted to. There was a band and they always stopped to play when someone sat by their piano. Wes knew this and intended to use it. Running into Tike, Christine and Kurtbastian was an accident but he quickly made up this idea. He shared this information and told the other three about it. They had given Mike a few vocal lessons so his singing shouldn't be a problem. Wes sat down by the piano and turned the mike on.

"Testing." Wes said as the band stopped their music and the Asian boy warmed up himself by playing a few scales. Chris borrowed a violin from the band and Mike took out something like a violin but was a bit different. An Erhu, Kurt recognised: A Chinese musical instrument with similar function of a violin but has only two strings.

"Good evening, everybody. I hope everyone is having a nice evening in this romantic Valentine's night. The four of us here are so lucky to have partners who love us with all of their hearts. That's why we are going to perform two songs for them. And let's hope we won't slaughter it."

"Nonsense!" Justine and Olivia shouted over in their seats and everyone laugh.

"These two songs maybe a little bit sad, but it praised a person's loyalty to their love ones. One of them will be sung in Chinese. I hope you won't mind." Wes said and winked at the four at the table. The four of them were all multilingual, including Chinese, though they were not as fluent as other languages like French and Spanish.

"The first song is from Mr. Michael Robert Chang, who wanted to dedicate his love to his partner Tina Cohen-Chang and so do us." Wes said and Chris started to play the violin. Mike joined in afterwards. Then, he sang. (Mike, Wes, Chris, All)

不等來世再相約,今生就要無恨無悔。
不問前緣我是誰,只管今塵和你日日月月。
我願與你雪中泥,紅塵寸寸泥中血。
冷暖相隨,悲歡同淚,朝朝暮暮相依偎。

[Not even waiting to meet in the afterlife,
Just hoping we have no regrets in this life.
Don't ask who I am in the previous life,
I just need to stick together with you forever in this life.
I'm willing to be with you like snow covering the land,
And suffering together as blood soaking every inches of soil.
No matter cold or hot, sadness or happiness,
Just to be with you in every morning and evening.]

Chris and Wes joined in, singing harmonies behind Mike. Kurt caught Tina swaying with the melody, there were tears in her eyes.

我是萍(我是萍),你是水(你是水)。
相逢相愛不是罪。
地久苦,天長淚。
為你染紅我的血。

[I am the algae (I am the algae) and you are the water (You are the water).
Meeting and falling in love is not a sin.
The earth felt so bitter, The heaven sorrows with tears.
For you, I will dye my blood red.]

我願與你雙雙飛,我願與你雙雙飛。
今生有了你我夢一回,來世等你將我醉。
我願與你雙雙飛,飛離紅塵是與非。
人間癡情迢迢不歸路,不如天上比翼蝶。

[I wish to fly in pairs with you.
I just wish to fly in pairs with you.
We've dreamt together in present life,
And I dream of a future drunk by your love.
I wish to fly in pairs with you.
Fly away from all the disputes of the human world.
Our path of love in the mortal world is so long and have no return,
I'd rather be a pair of butterflies flying wing to wing in the sky.]

我是萍(我是萍),你是水你是水)。
相逢相愛不是罪。
地久苦,天長淚。
為你染紅我的血。

[I am the algae (I am the algae) and you are the water (You are the water).
Meeting and falling in love is not a sin.
The earth felt so bitter, The heaven sorrows with tears.
For you, I will dye my blood red.]

我願與你雙雙飛,我願與你雙雙飛。
今生有了你我夢一回,來世等你將我醉。
我願與你雙雙飛,飛離紅塵是與非。
人間癡情迢迢不歸路,不如天上比翼蝶。

[I wish to fly in pairs with you.
I just wish to fly in pairs with you.
We've dreamt together in present life,
And I dream of a future drunk by your love.
I wish to fly in pairs with you.
Fly away from all the disputes of the human world.
Our path of love in the mortal world is so long and have no return,
I'd rather be a pair of butterflies flying wing to wing in the sky.]

Chris and Mike played the melody more forcefully and the three sang together.

我願與你雙雙飛,我願與你雙雙飛。
今生有了你我夢一回,來世等你將我醉。
我願與你雙雙飛,飛離紅塵是與非。
人間癡情迢迢不歸路,不如天上比翼蝶。

人間癡情迢迢不歸路,不如天上比翼蝶。

[I wish to fly in pairs with you.
I just wish to fly in pairs with you.
We've dreamt together in present life,
And I dream of a future drunk by your love.
I wish to fly in pairs with you.
Fly away from all the disputes of the human world.
Our path of love in the mortal world is so long and have no return,
I'd rather be a pair of butterflies flying wing to wing in the sky.

Our path of love in the mortal world is so long and have no return,
I'd rather be a pair of butterflies flying wing to wing in the sky.]

Mike, Wes and Chris finished the song and bowed. The audience applauded, even though they didn't know what the lyrics meant.

"Thank you. So the next song is the four of us to sing to our partners. Enjoy." Wes said and looked at the other three who nodded back at him. Mike put down the instrument and got another violin as Wes started to play on the piano before Sebastian and Chris started to sing. (Sebastian & Chris, Mike & Wes, All)

Only you know how I feel
Only you know what I miss
Can't you see you're just what I need
After all that we've been through
After all I've done for you
You should know my love is for real

Am I asking for too much
Am I waiting for too long
All I need is your tender touch
Don't you know I'm on my knees
Don't you know I'm begging please
Won't you take a look at me now

No matter how hard I try
Can't get you off my mind
I just don't know what to do
To have you back here again
I can't let go, can't let you go
I'm trying don't you know
All my love goes to show
I can't go on without you

Mike and Wes sang this time instead of Sebastian and Chris.

Only you know how I feel
Only you know what I miss
Can't you see you're just what I need
After all that we've been through
After all I've done for you
You should know my love is for real

Am I asking for too much
Am I waiting for too long
All I need is your tender touch
Don't you know I'm on my knees
Don't you know I'm begging please
Won't you take a look at me now

No matter how hard I try
Can't get you off my mind
I just don't know what to do
To have you back here again
I can't let go, can't let you go
I'm trying don't you know
All my love goes to show
I can't go on without you

The four sang together with all their hearts.

No matter how hard I try
Can't get you off my mind
I just don't know what to do
To have you back here again
I can't let go, can't let you go
I'm trying don't you know
All my love goes to show
I can't go on without you

They bowed and the audience thundered in cheers and applauds. Olivia, Justine, Tina and Kurt rushed forward to kiss their boyfriends intently.

"Do you like it?" Sebastian asked him.

"Yes!" Kurt cried. "I'm so moved. It's so romantic!"


"Come on, Tina. Sing a song with Mike." Olivia and Justine cat-called and the said couple blushed. The audience cheered.

"Yeah, come on. Don't delay our dates." Olivia nudged the Asian goth girl.

"Don't pretend you don't want this." Justine teased. Slowly and reluctantly, Tina got up and joined Mike on the stage. Wes smiled at the blushing boy.

"So what song are you two singing?" He asked and the couple said the same song title.

"The Beautiful Myth."

"The Beautiful Myth."

Tina and Mike said at the same time before they looked at each other. The audience laughed, so did Wes, Sebastian, Chris, Olivia, Justine and Kurt.

"Ah. How coincident." Kurt teased and the said couple blushed more furiously.

"Do you want us to sing? Because if you do, shut the hell up." Mike said with flaming cheeks as he took out his iPod and connected it to the hi-fi in the restaurant. A faint guitar was heard and the music soon picked up force as the couple started to sing. (Mike, Tina, Both)

夢中人熟悉的臉孔
你是我守候的溫柔
就算淚水淹沒天地
我不會放手

[The familiar face of this person in my dream
You are the tender that I have been waiting
Even the tears will flood both the heaven and the earth
I won't let go]

每一刻孤獨的承受
只因我曾許下承諾

[Bearing all the bitterness alone in every single time
That's because I have made a commitment]

Mike's voice was getting better than Kurt and the girls had heard him. Clearly, he was making a remarkable improvement just as Tina joined in. Her singing was wonderful. Kurt, Wes, Sebastian, Chris, Olivia and Justine knew it was a waste for her not to get a chance to sing a solo in the NDs.

你我之間熟悉的感動
愛就要蘇醒

[The familiar move between you and I
Love is going to be awoken]

萬世滄桑唯有愛是永遠的神話
潮起潮落始終不毀真愛的相約
幾番苦痛的糾纏多少黑夜掙扎
緊握雙手讓我和你再也不離分

[All the great changes among all ages, but love is the only eternal myth
The rise and fall of tides will never destroy true love to reach an agreement
How many painful tangles, how many struggles in the night
Hold your hands tight and let us be inseparable]

Mike took Tina's hand and continued to sing.

枕上雪冰封的愛戀
真心相擁才能融解
風中搖曳爐上的火
不滅亦不休

[The snow on the pillow, the love frozen there
They can only melt under a wholehearted embrace
The fire in the furnace swayed in the wind
It will never go out and never stop]

Tina sang as Mike softly sang the harmony part.

等待花開春去春又來
無情歲月笑我痴狂
心如鋼鐵任世界荒蕪
思念永相隨

[Waiting the flower blossom, spring left and come again
The merciless passage of time is laughing at my foolishness and craziness
Your heart is hard as steel and while you let the world lie waste
My think of you will always follow you]

"Oh my gosh! Those high notes are flawless." Kurt muttered to Sebastian. "Our chance may grow slim if she sang a solo in Regionals."

"True, but I think I know the one who sang both the high notes and the low part perfectly." Sebastian said and Kurt looked at him.

"Really? Who is that?" Kurt asked and Sebastian looked at him.

"You." He said simply but honestly and the counter-tenor blushed.

"Thanks." He muttered as he turned his attention back to the singing couple on the stage. Mike was still holding Tina's hand. Sebastian extended his hand and took Kurt's hand into his. Kurt blushed but let it be.

萬世滄桑唯有愛是永遠的神話
潮起潮落始終不毀真愛的相約
幾番苦痛的糾纏多少黑夜掙扎
緊握雙手讓我和你再也不離分

[All the great changes among all ages, but love is the only eternal myth
The rise and fall of tides will never destroy true love to reach an agreement
How many painful tangles, how many struggles in the night
Hold your hands tight and let us be inseparable]

悲歡歲月唯有愛是永遠的神話
誰都沒有遺忘古老古老的誓言
你的淚水化為漫天飛舞的彩蝶
愛是翼下之風兩心相隨自在飛

[Among all the years of joy and sorrow, only love is the eternal myth
No one had forgotten this old, old vow
Your tears become all the colourful butterflies filling the sky
Love is the wind beneath our wings, our two hearts fly freely in each other's accompany
]

悲歡歲月唯有愛是永遠的神話
誰都沒有遺忘古老古老的誓言
你的淚水化為漫天飛舞的彩蝶
愛是翼下之風兩心相隨自在飛

[Among all the years of joy and sorrow, only love is the eternal myth
No one had forgotten this ancient, ancient vow
Your tears become all the colourful butterflies filling the sky
Love is the wind beneath our wings, our two hearts fly freely in each other's accompany
]

你是我心中唯一美麗的神話

[You are the only beautiful myth in my heart]

(A.N.: All of the translation of the Chinese lyrics part was done by myself, so it will be pretty horrible. I'm sorry about that.)

The couple bowed as the audience gave them a standing ovation. Mike took the courage and kissed Tina on the lips, stunning the Asian vampire and the cheers got even louder. Kurt and Sebastian noticed that Chris was recording video.

"That's so fantastic!" Kurt said as he came forward and hugged Tina.

"So what do think about this Valentine's gift?" Sebastian asked.

"The most wonderful!" Kurt exclaimed as he hugged him close. "This is perfect. Thank you, Sebby."

"You are welcome. As long as you are happy, I am happy to do anything for you." Sebastian said and Kurt had tears in his eyes.

"Me too. Seb. Me too." Kurt said and kissed Sebastian again and again.

Basically, Kurt was attached to Sebastian all the time, they were still holding hands even they were on their way back to the dorm. Their lips were locked together once their dorm door was firmly closed, Wes was staying with Olivia at home, so did Blaine and David so that meant they were all alone.

"I love you so much. Kurt. You are so hot." Sebastian growled as he tried to tug his boyfriend's shirt away.

"I love you too, Sebby. I- Ow!" Kurt yelped in pain as he was slammed into the wall while he tried to unbutton Sebastian's jeans. The next moment, he was thrown onto the bed with Sebastian towering over him, with lustful and passion eyes, glowing like fire. And it's time for Eros to unite the two souls as one.


After Eros finished his wonders, Sebastian and Kurt were both panting heavily with Sebastian still on top of Kurt. They looked at each other intently and smiled.

"You are as wonderful as always." Sebastian said as he leaned down and kissed Kurt on the lips deeply. Kurt smiled and Sebastian rolled over so he can spoon his precious boyfriend from behind.

"God. I love you so much, Kurt." Sebastian said as he held Kurt tight.

He planted his lips on Kurt's slightly tanned but still pale neck, sucked and nipped intently. Kurt knew there would be a huge hickey there, but he didn't care. All he cared was he was with his friends, his brothers and sisters, his family, and his boyfriend, happy and soaked in love.

"Me too. Sebby. Me too." Kurt said as he got up and got some water. Sebastian looked at him with starry eyes. His boyfriend was so breathtakingly beautiful in any circumstances.

"Do you love me?" He asked bluntly, even though he knew that question was stupid.

"I do." Kurt said.

"With all your heart?" Sebastian asked again.

Kurt thought of a moment before he gently said.

"You see that bright star there?"

He pointed at the bright star shining on the western sky and Sebastian nodded.

"Venus. Or Evenstar. It is the old term. What about it?" He asked curiously. Kurt looked at him sincerely as he closed his eyes and took a nap.

"The light of the Evenstar does not wax and wane. It is mine to give to whom I will, like my heart. Go to sleep." He said in this beautiful voice and Sebastian had this dreamy feeling.

"I am asleep." Sebastian replied and slowly opened his eyes. Kurt looked at him. He looked so angelic.

"This is a dream." He said and Kurt smiled.

"Then this is a good dream." He leaned down and kissed on Sebastian's lips gently. Sebastian lifted his hand and touched his boyfriend's face. His skin was so smooth. Kurt broke their kiss and touched Sebastian's face gently.

"Sleep." He said and kissed Sebastian one more time before he turned off the light on the nightstand and climbed onto the bed. In the darkness, Sebastian opened his eyes and looked into the glasz eyes of his mate.

"I still have nightmares. Back in the fight in the graveyard. What if Luke succeeded? I can't live without you. I can't endure the pain and suffering brought by your leaving." Sebastian said and Kurt looked at him.

"You know he failed and I will never leave you." Kurt said gently.

Sebastian pulled him into a hug. Kurt hugged him back too.

"I know. But I want to protect you. But what if I can't?" He said.

"Our family and friends will help." Kurt said. "And I can protect myself too. I killed Luke, remember?"

"Kurt." Sebastian said but was shushed by Kurt.

"You can trust them. And if you have no one else to trust, trust here." He trailed his hand down to Sebastian's chest. "Trust your heart. Trust me. Trust us."

They looked at each other before they kissed again. After a while, they both drifted off to the land of dreams, in each other's embrace and so mark a perfect end to this perfect Valentine's night

TBC…


A.N.: Wow, this chapter is the longest ever in this story. And The Evenstar scene! I love it! Really, I love it with all my heart. It's so beautiful and it is the best scene in both The Two Towers and the whole trilogy of The Lord of The Rings. Liz Tyler is so beautiful! And I admire her loyalty and courage for love. She is willing to give up her immortal just to stay with her true love. That's why I'm using it in this chapter. And I think some of you can guess which of the Vampire Diaries character made his appearance. But man, those characters from VD are so difficult to understand. Maybe I will update my another story which features the bromance between Kurt, Sebastian and Hunter first. It will be a Kurtbastian story too. I will try my best to make it a Kurtbastian story only if life didn't get in my way again. The title of the story is called "The Night Trios", but it is not the final name.

*And a little note about Santorini: Santorini (Or Thera classically) is a volcanic caldera in the Aegean Sea. Her last eruption in 1610 BC reached 7 in the Volcano Explosive Index (VEI), the second highest rank, just one step below super volcanoes like Yellowstone and Toba. It annihilated the first civilisation in Europe, the Minoan Culture. The legacies of the eruption include initiating the chaos in Egypt, similar to that described in Exodus. The tsunami caused by the collapsing volcano is thought to be the inspiration for Plato in writing the legend of Atlantis. It is also thought to be the reason for the collapse of the first dynasty in China: the Xia Dynasty, her volcanic winter caused crops failure and abnormal weather.

Reviews are loved.

Answers to readers' reviews:

JasonDragon64: Thanks. But not sure about what to do with Mr. Schue. Not my main focus. :P

Eraman: I don't expect you like them, especially Burt. :D

LilDevyl: Quinn felt offended because someone criticised her religion. She is a stupid narrow-minded religious jerk, remember? She was kind of being brain-washed.

SnakeInMyBoot & SincerelyYourSecret: Wow. I feel so pressured right now.
