Prologue
Kenny's POV
I'm at Butters's house cleaning up his bloody and bruised face. One of his eyes is swollen shut, his nose is busted and bleeding, and he has deep cuts all over his face. He's been sobbing since I found him like this. Butters winces as I put rubbing alcohol on him.
"Be still..." I tell him gently.
"It stings!" He cries.
"I know it does, but I have to clean the blood off your face. Just relax." I continue cleaning his face. Butters keeps his eyes shut and flinches the entire time. "All done!" I tell him once I'm finished.
"Thanks Kenny." He sniffles and wipes his eyes.
"You're welcome. Now are you going to tell me what really happened to you? I don't believe you tripped and fell on the sidewalk."
"It's nothing Kenny, don't worry about it."
"Come on little guy, tell me." I beg him as I caress his cheek. Little guy is one of my many nicknames for Butters.
He sighs. "I-I got b-beat up, ok?" He stutters.
I can feel my face turn red with anger. Butters is such a nice and sweet guy. I don't understand why someone would lay a finger on him. "Who did it?"
"Kenny, p-please let it go!"
"I can't let this go! Have you seen your face?"
"Kenny please, I really don't want any trouble." He puts his hands up in defeat.
"I won't cause any trouble, I promise." He glares at me as if he doesn't believe what I'm saying. "I swear I won't!"
He looks down. "It was Eric..."
My eyes widen. "You've got to be kidding me! What the fuck for?"
"For coming out..." Butters closes his eyes and I can see a tear drop from his eye.
I put my hands on his shoulders. "I'll take care of it!"
He shakes his head. "No Kenny! I told you I don't want any trouble..."
"You won't have to worry about Cartman giving you anymore trouble once I get through with him!"
"Kenny please! Just let this one go, ok? For me?" He looks at me with those big emerald eyes of his and I'm so tempted to give in, but I can't let Cartman get away with this.
"I can't let this go! He had no right to put his hands on you!" I shake my head. "I blame myself for this!"
"Why?"
"Because I was the one who convinced you to come out! Everyone knows I'm gay so it wasn't a big deal for me to announce our relationship. You on the other hand, it's new for you. I just didn't think in this day and age you would get beat up for it. I'm sorry my little munchkin!" I kiss him on the forehead.
"It's not your fault Kenny! I love you and I didn't want to hide our relationship from our friends any longer."
"I know you didn't! But I'm not going to let Cartman or anyone else give you a hard time for being gay! I'm going to make an example of him!"
"Aw geez Kenny, I don't want you to go and pick a fight with Eric. What if he does to you what he did to me? Or worse?" I can hear the fear in his little voice.
I shrug. "I'm willing to take that risk!"
"No! I don't want you to get hurt!" He hugs me tightly. He starts shaking.
I sigh. "Cartman can't get away with this Butters…" My voice softens as I take notice of how terrified he seems. "Have you thought about telling a teacher or your parents?"
He shakes his head. "I can't tell my parents without telling them the reason he did this is because I'm gay. I can't tell a teacher because they'll call my parents." While Butters has told our friends about us, he has yet to tell his parents. He knows his parents would be against him being gay so he wants to wait a little while longer before telling them. He pretty much wants to wait until he's old enough to not get grounded.
"Then I guess the only solution is for me to take care of it." Butters tries to say something, but I stop him. "Don't worry, I won't start a fight with him!"
"You promise? I don't want you to get hurt." He makes a sad puppy dog face.
I smile at him. I swear I love his childlike innocence. "I promise. I'm just going to talk to him."
"I'm going to hold you to that." He kisses me on the cheek. "I love you..."
"I love you too cupcake!" I grab him and pull him into a passionate kiss.
Butters pulls away. "My parents should be home soon..."
I nod knowing exactly what that means. "I'll see you tomorrow baby." I give him a peck on the cheek before leaving. Now it's time for me to have a friendly chat with Cartman...
A/N: Don't worry, Cartman will make an appearance in the next chapter!
