"Kendall, darling. Come and sit with Mummy." Kendall's mom said trying to impersonate an Englishman but failed horribly. Kendall stood up from his post in front of the stove in the grand kitchen. Kendall whipped his hands on the apron and sat in front of his mother in the living room.
"Yes, mum." Kendall said with a thick Irish accent. Kendall's mom smiled at her son. They were the most important people in all of Ireland. His father, Kent Knight, was a diplomat and the ambassador for Ireland who is sent to the UN or other meetings at the World Summits. As of that moment, Ireland was having problems with Australia. For some strange reason, Australia thought Ireland was dumping waste into their Oceans and rivers. Both Kent Knight and Jared Diamond, ambassador of Australia, agreed to sit down and meet and come up with a solution to bring the two countries to peace. So Jared came up wit a peace treaty that Jared's son and Kent's son needed to sigh.
"Well, dear. You know how your daddy went to fix things with Australia?" She asked. Kendall nodded, thinking this was the first step to world- okay not world but country peace. Her smile was faltering by the second because she knew Kendall would absolutely hate the news she was about to lay on him.
"Well, Jared Diamond. He's the ambassador for Australia and he brought in a treaty that your father faxed over the treaty and I read the section he highlighted . And, baby I don't know how to tell you. After you father had his afters(1), Jared brought it out and said that the perfect way to settle the debacle is well, sweetie this is as ought to say as a bear's arse, but the clause is that you have to marry his son, James. He's about 19 and your 16 but they say it's okay but in order for Australia not to take this to world court is you have to be wed to James David Diamond." His mom said. Kendall's eyes widened to the size of saucers. Sure, his parents knew he was gay but he had just turned 16 and he was only 4th Year(2) and James was probably done with school. Kendall looked at his mom who had pulled out the treaty. Kendall took it and looked at it. There in bold print and highlighted in yellow was the clause.
"The son of Kent Knight will wed the son of Jared Diamond on the day of May 11th.
The bonding of the two parties will signify that it is water
under the bridge. If the party of Kent Knight refuses, Australian
Ambassador will have no choice but to take this serious
matter to the world courts and pursue the legal action required for this crime
against Australia and it's people. If the party of Kent Knight agrees
all charges will be eradicated and the Kent Knight will relocate to reside with
his fiancé the son of Jared Diamond"
Kendall gasped because they hadn't done anything wrong. Just because Ireland is somewhat close to them they automatically think it's them. Kendall didn't want to leave him mom and dad to live with a bunch of complete strangers who are basically blackmailing them. Kendall felt the tears coming. He didn't want to leave home to live with a stranger.
"Mum, I don't want to be wed up with a complete stranger. Or leave my country to live with blackmailers. We haven't done a thing to Australia. Our exports and trading lands are nowhere near Australia. I will absolutely hate it but if I don't go, Dad could be thrown in Federal prison and I can't let Dad do that. Mum, I don't know what to do. I am only in my 16th year and I just became 16 a few days back. I know nothing of marriage. I am not prepared for a life with a spouse. I am merely a child. How can the ambassador of stupid Australia put me in this situation. An adult situation. James Diamond has already entered his 19th year. He is an adult. I am nothing more than a baby to him. Don't the Americans have a word for that. What is it. Statutory. That's what my pen pal, Amelia says. Mum, what am I to do?" Kendall asked her. Kendall's mom hugged him. Just then the phone rang. Kendall answered it.
"Hello?" Kendall asked. He heard shuffling and then the voice of his father.
"Son! Glad to hear from you. Did your Mum tell you?" He asked. Kendall silently wished that he didn't have to do what was right and good for all the Irish people.
"Yes, father. And, father, I will wed James Diamond. If that keeps Ireland out of World court then yes, I will wed him. Only the Lord knows what and how much they want." Kendall said trying to make himself feel better. It wasn't helping at all.
"That is a very noble thing to do but I can't request that of you. Kendall, you are my son and I would never use you as a pawn. Never in such a way have I ever been this appalled. He requested the life of my only son and child." Kent boomed angrily. Kendall felt that his father was being silly but then he got the gist of what he was doing exactly. He was about to move to a foreign country and live with blackmailers. But Kendall had a heart of gold and it was telling him to do the right thing.
"Father, I have to do what is best for Ireland. You are the most important person in the entire country. Dublin needs you father. Ireland needs you. And we don't need you or anyone in jail. I already signed the Treaty and I am ready to be wed to the son of a blackmailer." Kendall said. His father sighed and then chuckled.
"You are just like your Mum. She will be devastated but I am going to move her to Australia with you in a villa next to Jared's place. His place is like a castle but it isn't. It's just big. But start packing because they expect you here in three days time." Kent said sighing. Kendall sighed and murmured an 'Okay, father' and Kent said 'Good bye' and they both hung up. Kendall sighed softly and turned to see his mother's arms open and waiting to hug him.
Kendall spent the next three days packing his things with the help of Logan. Logan was his butler servant but more like a brother to him. Kendall was allowed to bring him. Kendall got to make a few conditions. One was he got to bring Logan and his Mother. Two was they burned all police report and government reports of the outrageous accusations. Three was he got to visit home every three months without the son of Jared Diamond. Four was he could leave when he started his 18th year.
Logan and Kendall watched as the movers packed all his things into the airplane. Kendall, Logan, and Mr. and Mrs. Knight got onto the plane and sat in their seats. Kendall would meet James and his guest on the plane. They sat there for half an hour before the plane's doors opened and a tall tan young man wearing tan shorts and a polo shirt with a fedora. He had a brown blowout and hazel eyes. Kendall looked at the guest. He was a Latino. He was a darker tan like desert sand. He had mocha brown eyes and a sorta spike haircut. He was wearing purple shorts and a white shirt with flip flops. Kendall turned back around as the two strangers walked over to him. The hazel eyed one stood right in front of him.
"You must be so happy to be my new mate." He said with a thick Australian accent. Kendall rolled his eyes and looked the imbecile up and down.
"More like repulsed that I am being forced to wed the son of a redundant blackmailer. And what is mate? My name is Kendall." Kendall asked in a fiery tone. His already thick Irish accent becoming thicker.
"My. Aren't you a feisty one. Pops told me you were like twelve." James said smirking. Kendall stood up. He was significantly shorter than James but he didn't care. He kneed James right in his family jewels. James dropped like a sack of bricks.
"I'm in my sixteenth year, you arrogant imbecile. Let us leave before I feel the need to toss him off the side of the plane." And with that Kendall marched away dragging Logan with him to the next compartment leaving his parents laughing.
James staggered up and followed them with the Latino following him. "Hey, you pint sized runt. I swear if you ever do that again I will-" His sentence was cut off when the plane began it's decent and he fell backward into the Latino. James got up and sat directly next to Kendall.
"What is your damage?" James sneered. Kendall huffed and rolled his green eyes. James thought it was adorable but he wasn't going to let Kendall know that.
"I don't know. Maybe my 'damage'" Kendall put air quotes around the word damage. "Is the fact that I am being forced to relocate and leave my Mum and father because your stupid country wants to blame Ireland for dumping waste into your export when we didn't. Maybe because I have to marry the likes of you when I am only in my sixteenth year."Kendall boomed. James and the Latino flinched at Kendall's word because it was true. He was being forced to leave his home.
"Well, It isn't my fault. You act like I want to be tied down at 19. I'm sorry you have to marry me and your so uptight but calm down."James said. Kendall stomped on his toe and looked out the window, hopping the trip would be quick, fast and in a hurry. But with his luck, that would never happen.
A/N— I was typing the next chapter for crazy stupid love but this popped into my head. Sorry. Oh and (1) that I believe mans Dessert and (2) means 10th grade I think. Yeah. Like the Canadia say grade 10. America says the 10th grade. Yeah, not knocking Irish people because I have this strange obsession with the Irish people and the country for like 10 years. Since I was six. That's a long time for a 16 year old to like something beside Big Time Rush or Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles. Don't judge me.
Love you, though.
