Summary: Pre-Klaine. Blaine gets sexually assaulted.
Burt is the one to pick up the pieces. The Hummel-Hudson household is the safe
haven. My spin on the old prompt.
A/N: Once upon a time, I don’t even remember where,
there was a prompt like this. And this idea got stuck in my brain. I’ve been
fighting it for months, because one, there are stories like that already (I
know I even read initial chapters of one, I’m not sure if it got finished later
though), and two, I don’t write non-con. I’m really only interested in the comfort part of it, not the hurt.
But since
Kurt in my head keeps jumping up and down (he may or may not have his Gaga
heels on, ouch) and squeaking that he
wants to help, and whatever I try to write lately turns into little scenes
for this… I gave up. Here it is. I tried to keep the hurt part to minimum, because frankly, I felt a little sick writing it. It’s
all in chapter 1, then we move on to making things better. And since I (thankfully) have no real idea about these
things, it may all be naïve or unrealistic. Please let me know. I’m off to give
myself diabetes with cotton candy fluff now.
This story
is almost complete in 8 chapters (as of now - there may be one more or less if
I decide to rearrange things while editing) and will be updated daily here at my
Livejournal and
FF.

CHAPTER 1
The night that
ended so catastrophically bad began with lots of fun. Blaine had never been to
a club before and quickly decided that he loved it - the loud music, the
dancing, the flashing lights, the anonymity of the crowd. But most of all he enjoyed
the attention of Eric, the gorgeous blond college student that sneaked him in
there and was keeping him entertained all evening. And even if entertainment
included several alcoholic drinks, Blaine wasn’t going to complain. He was
having fun, he had no plans to sit behind the wheel any time soon, since Eric
was driving - what’s the problem with being a little bit more relaxed, a little
naughty? It’s not like he was drunk. Well, maybe just a bit - everything seemed
hilarious and Eric’s eyes were getting more and more beautiful, his lips red
and tempting. Around midnight, when Blaine started to lean on the taller boy
more and more while dancing, the blonde laughed good-naturedly.
“Looks like
someone is ready to move to a more private location. My dorm room is empty
tonight, you know.”
And it
should have been a warning sign, but it didn’t sound this way. In fact, it
sounded like a very good idea at that time. A place where he could finally, finally kiss Eric? Awesome! Bring it on!
So they run
out, holding hands and laughing, found Eric’s car in one of the side streets
and sped toward campus. Blaine felt a bit dazed, his head suddenly spinning
much more than he realized in the flashing darkness of the club. A quick What are you doing? What would Kurt say if
he knew? flashed through his mind, but he ignored it determinedly. He
wouldn’t think of Kurt. It was his
night. And if Kurt wanted to be jealous and try to spoil it for him, then it
was his own problem. He would have to accept that Blaine was in love with this guy, this 21-year-old
student who’d flirted with him at a party a week before, who was mature and
confident, and a little mysterious, and so very handsome… And if Kurt couldn’t support
him and would keep insulting Eric like that day Blaine introduced them in the
coffee shop, then well, maybe he wasn’t really his friend after all. What was
he doing anyway, thinking about Kurt, when they were on their way to Eric’s
empty room where they could kiss for hours without interruptions? Blaine
sighed, delighted - so far his date was almost too much of a gentleman, not even
trying to move past hand-holding and a peck on the cheek, but he felt confident
that tonight they would go further. And he was so ready to finally have his first kiss, to explore Eric’s lips,
his tongue, his mouth, until he knew them by heart. True, the blonde was a
smoker and the cigarette smell lingering around him was a bit of a turn-off,
but Blaine refused to be hindered by such details, enthralled as he was by the
prospect of having a boyfriend.
Eric’s room
was small, cluttered and kind of smelly, and Blaine’s brain was trying to break
through the alcoholic fog and tell him it was not a good idea after all, but
the older boy quickly silenced it with another drink, and then they were
finally kissing, hungrily, passionately, and it was amazing.
Until it
wasn’t.
Because
gradually Eric became more - more
hungry, more insistent, more aggressive. As long as it was just his lips and
neck, Blaine could deal with it, though he felt overwhelmed. But then Eric was
pinning him to the bed - and woah, when did they lay down? and why was the room
spinning so much? - and his hands were under Blaine’s shirt, and in the next
instant the shirt was off and Eric’s hand was navigating towards his buckle
belt, his teeth on Blaine’s nipple, and it was too much, too soon, too fast.
“No. Stop
it.”
“What’s the
matter, baby? Are you uncomfortable? Let’s just peel these pants off of you and
I’ll make it all better.”
“No. It’s
too much.”
“Oh come on,
you know you want it.”
“No, I
really don’t.” He felt like he was going to be sick from sudden vertigo when
Eric’s hand landed on his zipper anyway.
“Huh, it
seems you’re right, you don’t seem interested at all. Maybe I shouldn’t have
given you this last drink after all. Well, I’ll just let you sleep it off then,
there’s no use going all the way back to your house. You can bunk here. Make
yourself comfortable, I’ll go take a shower.”
Blaine must
have dozed off then, right where he was, because the next thing he noticed was
a quiet clinking noise and something cold on his wrist, pulling his arm over
his head. It was all really curious, so he forced himself somewhat awake, tried
to sit up and see… And he couldn’t. Something was wrong, something held him
down. Panic raising slowly in his chest chased away all remnants of sleepiness.
He looked up. There were handcuffs linking his left wrist to the bars of the metal
headboard. He was trapped. And Eric was standing over him with a smile that
wasn’t kind and charming anymore, just devious, and a second pair of silver
handcuffs ready to use.
In a burst
of adrenaline Blaine tried to get off the bed, yanking his hand free from the
cuff, but the only thing he gained was ripping pain in his shoulder. The
headboard didn’t even budge. And then there was sudden pounding in his head and
copper taste of blood on his tongue, and Eric was kneeling on the bed, the hand
that had just hit him still raised.
“Behave,
you little slut. Did you think that you could tease me all this time and then
refuse to deliver? You can’t do this. It’s really impolite, you know. Now be a
good little boy and turn over so that I can secure your other hand. Don’t make
me force you. You’ll like it, I promise.”
This was
the moment when all sense left Blaine in an overwhelming wave of fear and the
rest of the night consisted of disjointed sounds and sensations.
Being
flipped over on the bed, his left arm twisted at painfully wrong angle. More
clinking as his other wrist was quickly secured to the headboard. The feeling
of his jeans and underwear being pulled off. Eric’s unwanted touches, kisses,
sharp bites breaking skin. His words washing over Blaine, praising him on being
a perfect little slut, telling him he’d like it, promising to prepare him real
good, warning to be quiet or else. And then crinkling of a wrapper, terrible
pressure of slick fingers, then more than fingers, Eric’s obscene moans, his
weight on him and pain, an ocean of pain that he was drowning in. The other
man’s jerky movements and breathless sounds, fingernails leaving long burning
lines, and then finally stillness and silence, disturbed only by harsh
breathing.
He didn’t
know how long he lay there, the pillow underneath his face wet with tears and
blood from the lip he was biting on to stop himself from screaming, but then
his hands were free, his clothes thrown on the bed next to him, and Eric
whispered in his ear “I told you you’d like it. Now get out of here. And if you
ever think of complaining - remember, you asked for it, you little cocktease.
You just got what you deserve. You don’t want anyone to know what a worthless
slut you are, do you?”
