Prompt: Prom Queen AU. Kurt and Blaine did go to a movie instead, but outside the theater afterwards, they're jumped.

TW: Homophobic language, violence

"Give me your hand." Kurt breathes as he reaches across the table. Blaine does without even thinking. His hand sliding into Kurt's like a puzzle piece.

"Blaine Warbler," Kurt paused taking a deep breath. "Will you go to Junior Prom with me?"

Blaine's eyes go wide. "Prom?" He stutters.

"It will be the social even of the season." Kurt says with a smile.

Blaine hesitates for just a second before Kurt starts again.

"You don't want to go to prom with me?" He asks, face fallen.

"No no no, of course, of course I wanna go with you." Blaine quickly reassures as Kurt pulls his hand away. "It's just…" Blaine sits back as memories of the last dance he went to flash in his head. "Prom." He breathes.

"What about prom, Blaine?" Kurt asks, not thrilled by his boyfriend reaction.

Blaine doesn't look up at Kurt but continues to stare at the table, "At my old school, there was a Sadie Hawkins Dance." Blaine says looking up with haunted eyes. "And…I had just come out. So I asked a friend of mine, the only other gay guy in the school. While we were waiting for his dad to pick us up…" Blaine paused taking a breath. "These three guys um…" He stops not sure what to say. Beat my head into the pavement and nearly killed me and my date. No. Hurt me so bad that I had to miss school and be held back a year. No. Blaine shakes his head as he tries to find the words. He finally decided on the nicest version he can think of. "Beat the living crap out of us."

Kurt lets out a breath…"I'm so sorry."

"I'm out and I'm proud and all that but this is a sore spot." Blaine says with a small humorless laugh.

"This is perfect." Kurt says with a smile. "You couldn't stand up to the bullies at your school so you can do it at mine!"

Blaine smiles, loving Kurt's ever present optimism.

"We could do it together!" Kurt says before backtracking. "But I have to say Blaine, that if it makes you feel uncomfortable, at all, then we'll just forget about prom. We can go to a movie instead."

Blaine shakes his head.

"I don't want to ruin your junior prom Kurt."

Kurt grabs Blaine's hand once again. "Blaine, you won't be ruining anything. All I really wanted to do was to spend the night with my amazing boyfriend and whether that is at prom or at a movie it doesn't matter."

Blaine smiles as he places a kiss to Kurt's knuckles.

"Thank you." He whispers.

XX

Blaine smiles as Finn leaves to pick up Quinn for prom, as much as he knows Kurt wanted to go he is ever-grateful that he understood how hard it would be to Blaine to face his fears at another school dance.

"Have fun at your movie bro!" Finn says with a wave.

"Thanks Finn, good luck on winning prom king!" Blaine says as the taller boy bounds out of the door and to his truck.

Blaine slips into the living room, he sinks onto the couch to wait for Kurt.

Ten minutes later Kurt saunters down the stair and into the living room. Blaine's breathing stops at the sight of his boyfriend.

Kurt is wearing a mix between a tuxedo and a kilt.

"What are you wearing?" Blaine asks standing up from the couch.

"Is it ok?" Kurt asks, searching Blaine's face.

Blaine nods. "You look great, but what is the occasion?" Blaine says as he realizes how underdressed he is in his jeans and polo shirt.

"Well, I started to make this to wear to prom but since our plans changed I had nowhere else to wear it. I hope its ok."

Blaine nods and pulls Kurt into a hug. "It's more than ok, I just wish I wasn't so undressed."

Kurt laughs and pulls out of Blaine's hold. "Well, I guess I can forgive you this time because if we don't leave now we will miss the movie." Kurt laughs as he pulls Blaine out of the house.

Blaine was glad that tonight was McKinley's prom, because it meant the theater was nearly empty. He and Kurt choose a pair of seats near the back and quickly snuggled close together. Blaine wasn't sure what the movie was even about, but he knew he enjoyed being alone with Kurt for two hours.

As the movie ended Kurt pulled away from Blaine. Blaine let out a noise of protest.

Kurt let out a small laugh. "Hey, we can't stay here all night."

Blaine shook his head. "I think we can."

"Will you leave if I promise we can continue our fun back at my house?" Kurt said raising his eyebrows.

Blaine nearly jumped out of his seat as he began to pull Kurt out of the theater.

It was already after dark as they walked into the parking lot. Kurt huddled close to Blaine as the cool spring air blew against them. Blaine smiled as he rubbed his hands over Kurt's arms.

The two boys were lost in their own little world until a sound of breaking glass made Kurt jumped as he looked behind them.

"What was that?" He breathed.

Blaine shook his head as he pulled Kurt a little faster towards the car.

"Hey faggots!" A cruel voice shouted through the nearly deserted parking lot.

Blaine's blood ran cold as Kurt stalled next to him.

"Kurt, we need to get to the car." Blaine said under his breath, hoping that whoever was behind them would go away.

"Nice skirt homo." Another voice sounded, this time it was closer.

Blaine stole a quick glance behind them to see two guys coming up behind them, both were staggering drunk. As Blaine made eye contact with one of the men the pair let out a harsh laugh.

"Can't ignore us now hobbit, why don't you and your fairy boyfriend turn around and be polite?" One of them sneered as they both picked up their pace and began to chase after Blaine and Kurt.

"Kurt, run!" Blaine yelled as he began to pull Kurt through the parking lot.

The boys ran so fast the both nearly crashed into the side of Kurt's Navigator.

Kurt was quick to pull his keys out but before he could get the car unlocked the two men had caught up to them.

"Faggots think they are fast, but we are faster."

Blaine quickly stepped in front of Kurt and turned to face the men. "What do you guys want with us?" He asked his voice stronger than he thought it would be.

"Well, to be honest my friend and I were having trouble enjoying the movie while you two were spreading your fairy dust all over the theater."

Kurt made a move to step in front of Blaine, but Blaine stopped him. "Kurt just get in the car." Blaine muttered under his breath.

"Can't you just leave us alone?" Kurt said ignoring Blaine.

"Not until you fags offer us an apology."

"We are not going to apologize for love!" Kurt shouted.

That did it. Blaine watched in horror as the two men rushed forward. Blaine pushed Kurt in attempt to keep him from harm but he was quickly pulled away from Kurt and thrown to the ground.

Blaine let out a cry of pain as once again he felt the feeling of skin meeting pavement. He struggled against the blows as he watched the other man attacked Kurt and throw him on the cold asphalt. Kurt cried out in pain as his attacker placed a swift kick to his side.

"Kurt!" Blaine cried before his face was once again slammed into the blacktop. "Shut up faggot or he gets it worse." The man snarled.

Blaine's breathing started to come fast and quick. "No, please leave Kurt alone. Please!" Blaine cried.

"Shut up!" A harsh voice shouted as Blaine saw a heavy foot slam against his head.

Blaine's world darkened around the edges before going completely black.

Right before he passed out he heard another one of Kurt's cries of pain and deep down he wished that he had been brave enough to just go to prom.
