Meeting the Kirklands: Seamus and Sean Kirkland
O~..o..~O
Arthur sighed as he looked at the two blonds in front of him. He knew that Dylan probably threatened Alfred, since the blond American was trembling nonstop. It wasn't the first time that something like this happened. All of his ex-boyfriends experienced somewhat the same kind of traumatic event under the hands of his family. Arthur loved his family he really did, but sometime they were just a bit too overprotective. And this caused Arthur to suffer some of the most humiliating experiences.
He remembered going to school armed with frying pan in his back pack because his mum feared of her precious son getting raped. Or the time during his senior year, when Seamus dressed up as a girl to be Arthur's date during prom, since his brothers feared that little Arthur might go out with a psychotic woman that'll kill him after the dance. And who could forget the time Allistor brought an m16 riffle to Arthur's school when he heard Arthur got into a fight with a French guy, cause said guy grabbed Arthur's Ass. Yep, those were just some of the pride crushing experience Arthur faced because of his oh so loving family.
Arthur let out another sigh as he thought to himself. (Why couldn't I be born under a normal family?)
"Oi! Arthur, You've been sighing for the pass five minutes, lighten up. I told you, I have done nothing to your beloved boyfriend so smile a little."
Dylan said over his shoulder. He still had an arm slung over the American's shoulder and it wasn't leaving anytime soon. As 2nd eldest it was his job to assess and deliver a full report to his siblings about Arthur's new boyfriend. You could say Dylan was the recon man when it came to the Kirkland family Army and he enjoyed his job of being the first to intimidate the assholes who wanted to take Arthur away from them.
"Only if you promise not to do anything stupid to my boyfriend, please Dylan?" Arthur said piteously to his elder brother. He didn't want his brothers to drive away Alfred, since Arthur loved Alfred so much and was sure that he was the one for him. Why else would he give his virginity to Alfred?
"Yea, fine." Dylan uttered in an annoyed tone as they continued walking through the hall.
Soon the trio entered into the large living room of the Kirklands and Alfred awed at the sight. The American almost forgot he was in the 21st century since the room looked so Victorian era-ish. From the beige coloured L-shaped sofa and armchairs to the classy upright piano, small ornate staircase, elegant chandelier and royal blue curtains that decorated the windows, everything looked like it was from the show downtown abbey, a show Arthur made him watch because it teaches proper english. (It's so…. so…. so British) Alfred thought to himself.
The floor of the room was made of dark oak wood; it had a big extravagant gold carpet spread at the centre covering most of the floor. The floral walls were ecru in colour and had different pictures hanging off them. Alfred's eyes fell on the large family portrait on top of the fireplace. There was a red haired man and blonde haired woman sitting on two separate blue armchairs and they were surrounded by six boys, all standing behind them. They were all dressed formally. He quickly spotted the teenage Arthur who was beside the woman.
(Wow! that's one big family portrait! Artie looks about 15 here, he looks cute as a teen.)
"Oi! Dylan, let go of the poor lad!" Someone shouted in an Irish accent which caused Alfred to break free from his thoughts and catch the sight of a man entering from the arc that connected the living room and the dining room.
The man was dressed in a maroon long sleeve cotton shirt and black trousers. He had red hair and light blue eyes. He was being followed by another guy whose red hair was lighter in colour and his eyes were light green. He was dressed in the same get up with the man who just entered only that his shirt was grey in colour. They looked exactly alike, and their height was the same as Arthur's.
Dylan let go of Alfred and allowed the American to step away from him. "Just making sure our guest here gets the good ol' Kirkland hospitality." The elder Brit said with a toothy grin directed to Alfred. "This here is Alfred, Arthur's new boyfriend, he's a yank from across the pond." Dylan said giving an introductory motion of the hand.
The twins looked at Alfred then at each other and gave an understanding grin.
"Sean" the one wearing the maroon shirt said in a cheery tone.
"And Seamus" said the other.
"At your service." they both said together with bow that resembled the one that Kili and Fili did in the movie The Hobbit.
Alfred was shock at the synchronized action. (Wow! They're the twins, they don't seem bad at all.) He mimicked what the twins did and gave an awkward version of the bow which caused a snicker from his boyfriend and his boyfriend's blond elder sibling.
"Alfred Foster Jones, at you service as well." The twins smiled at the bow Alfred made.
"You really know how to pick up the polite ones, don't you Iggy?" Sean said which caused a scowl to decorate Arthur's face. God, did he hate that atrocious nickname. He slowly drank the tea from his teacup in order for him to remain calm.
"Iggy? You never told me you had that as a funny nickname." Alfred whined out.
"Can it!" Was the gruff reply of his lover who took another sip at his tea, finishing it. Stupid elder brothers!
"C'mon Alfred why don't you take a seat by the fireplace, let's chat over tea." Seamus said as he grabbed Alfred's arm and dragged him towards the fireplace, Arthur following in tow. "I'll get the biscuits and more tea since Arthur took the last cup." declared Dylan as he disappeared into the arc. The pairs sat facing each other, Arthur and Alfred sat one onside of the L-shaped sofa and Sean and Seamus sat on the other. As they waited for Dylan return they started to do small talk in order to pass the time.
"So…" Started Sean, "Iggy tells me you need a lawyer for your business deals here in the UK."
Alfred nodded before replying, "Yep, we need two actually an international one and a corporate one, I was hoping you two would take the job since Artie tells me you guys are really good in you line of work?"
"We aren't just good!" Sean said,
"We're bloody Brilliant!" Seamus finished.
"We'll take it." They both said at the same time.
"Awesome! Umm… if you don't mind me asking, who's the older twin?" Alfred asked.
"I'm the older one by 10 minutes." declared Sean with a big smile.
"Cool, Me and my bro are twins as well, I'm the older one." replied Alfred
"Well it's nice to know we have so much in common Alfred."
"Agreed Sean, nice to meet a fellow older twin."
The three began to converse about business related talk while waiting for Dylan to arrive. Alfred liked the twins; they seem very friendly and knowledgeable. He loved the way they finished each other's sentences, it was kind of cute. It reminded Alfred of him and Matthew although they didn't quite finish each other's sentences they still shared inside jokes and secret messaging glances much like what the Kirkland twins were doing every now and then.
Arthur who was sitting quietly beside Alfred was silently observing his brothers. The twins were never this well behaved. Arthur was getting suspicious. He knew they were planning something. He hoped it wasn't anything horrible but knowing the two, there was no chance it wasn't. Dylan soon arrived with a tray of star shaped cookies and tea. He placed it at the round coffee table in front of the sofa. He then took a seat at one of the arm chairs.
"C'mon Alfred, have a biscuit." Offered Seamus flashing Alfred a big fond smile, Alfred snatched the star shaped cookie from Seamus' hand "Don't mind if I do." He said before popping it into his mouth.
"Do you like it? Is it good? Seamus and I baked it just for you." Sean said sweetly.
Upon hearing his brother's words, Arthur's eyes widened, this was not good. He looked over to see the smirking faces of his Brothers, Crap! He should have known this would happen!
"ALFRED SPIT THAT OUT!"
Arthur screamed to his boyfriend who was happily munching on the cookie. Alfred blinked at his lover's reaction. What's wrong with the cookie? it tasted yummy, it was warm, sweet and-
"GYAH!"
Was the noise that left Alfred's mouth when he ejected the foul tasting cookie from his mouth. He used his gloved hand to wipe the remaining bits from his tongue. Saliva was dripping from his lips and once he was sure there were no more cookie bits, the American yelled into the air,
"SWEET MOTHER OF MACARONI! SPICY! IT'S SPICY! WATER! WATER! WATER! WATER! WATER! WATER! WATER! WATER! WATER! I NEED WATEEEEEER!"
Alfred was panicking. The cookie was super spicy and he couldn't take spicy things. His tongue was burning, his eyes were watering, and his arms were moving around frenziedly. Arthur watched in horror as his lover was moving all over the place.
"Here Lad, have some tea." Seamus offered with a concerned face, he gave Alfred a cup of tea which the American hurriedly grabbed and gulped its contents to feel-
"AHHHH! IT'S HOT! FUCKING FUCK! IT BURNS!"
Arthur looked over at his brothers and was infuriated to see, Dylan trying to hold in his laughter, Seamus looking away while pinching himself and Sean watching Alfred with a sadistic smirk. The bloody fuckers planned this! Arthur stood up and rushed to the Kitchen, he grabbed a pitcher of ice cold water from the fridge before running back and handing it to his crying boyfriend.
Still sitting down, Alfred took the cold pitcher and took big gulps of water. He closed his eyes as the water flooded his mouth, alleviating the pains he was feeling. He didn't care if the excess was spilling unto his sweater. Once he finished the whole pitcher, he took a deep relieved sigh.
"I'm so sorry Alfred, Sean and I must have baked it wrong and we forgot that the tea was boiling hot." Seamus said in an apologetic tone, looking down at the floor.
"Yes, Alfred I'm sorry, I added Jalapeños because I wanted you to experience a burst of flavours." Sean added while having tears in eyes.
"Please don't hate us!" the twins said together.
Alfred felt his anger melt away at the sight of the twins. They looked like kicked puppies, they looked genuinely sorry for what they did. Especially Sean who had tears cascading down his cheeks like rivers. Alfred knew he couldn't find it in his heart to not forgive them.
"It's ok, I guess people make mistakes." He said while giving them a 100 kilowatt smile.
Arthur's eye twitched at his boyfriend's words. He knew his brothers were just faking their apology he had seen this act a thousand times. He let out an enraged growl at his brothers who merely ignored him. They continued apologizing to Alfred who was too dense to notice it was just an act.
"Bollocks Alfred! You can't really believe these todgers!? They're obviously faking it."
Arthur voiced out from his seat next to Alfred. The American merely blinked at his lover, to Alfred it looked obvious that the twins were sincere in their words.
"C'mon Artie, I think your brother's are really sorry. I bet it was just an accident, nobody is perfect."
"Yes Artie, We're sorry." Sean whimpered out.
"Completely sorry Artie." Seamus added.
The twins who were sitting together looked at their younger brother with crestfallen faces, Dylan on the other hand who was seated at an armchair looked smugly at Alfred. The twins were really brutal when it came to Arthur's boyfriends and Dylan loved watching the twins let out their sadistic tendencies out on the poor lads.
"I know, why don't we help Alfred get the bags Sean?" Arthur narrowed his eyes at his brothers.
"Yes Seamus, let's! It's the least we can do." The bloody wankers were up to something.
Alfred beamed at the suggestion of the twins and stood up from his seat. "You don't really have to do anything, I forgive you guys it was just a harmless mistake right? but, if you really wanna, then let's go." With this Alfred began walking towards the exit but was stopped by hand grabbing his sweater. He looked down to see Arthur having a serious expression on his face.
"Love, don't be an idiot! They're obviously planning something! I'll go with you instead."
"Ouch that hurt Iggy! How could you not trust your own siblings?" Sean sobbed out holding his chest.
"All we want to do is help Alfie here and get to know him better." Seamus added.
"Alright then, I'll come along with you then." Arthur declared standing up, which cause the twins to have displeased faces. They didn't want Arthur to come along. They wanted to spend time with Arthur's stupid- ly sweet, yes, stupidly sweet boyfriend Alfred.
"Is alright Arthur, I'm sure the three of us can handle it."
Sean said while motioning himself, Alfred and Sean. "And besides I think mum would love some help in the kitchen. You did just zoom passed her when you got water for Alfred." Arthur blinked at his brother's words; he didn't know his mum was in the kitchen. He then felt a guilty pang on his chest, he had not noticed his lovely mother who he had missed dearly.
Seamus picked up on his brother's plan, the elder Kirklands knew that Arthur always had a soft spot for their mum. He'd do anything to make her happy. "That's right Iggy, mum must be devastated right now. Her lovely little Iggy just zoomed past her not even giving her a glance. Poor mum!" Seamus added with a dramatic pose. (It's working!)
Arthur looked down at his feet. He felt so guilty. He knew his mum was probably in tears right now. How could he not notice her? Maybe Alfred can handle his brothers. He was always good at handling the worst kind of people. Besides, the twins already had their fun so the worst was over right?
"Ok, fine I'll go to mum, but I'm warning you two! Do anything harmful to Alfred and I'll cut both your balls in your sleep!" The 23 year old Brit said with a menacing glare at his brothers who looked unfazed by it. The twins grinned at Arthur's words, finally, they'll be able to have the 'Friendly' chat with the American about the consequences of dating their dear baby brother.
"You got it iggy! We'll do exactly as you said!"
The twins said simultaneously while giving a salute. Arthur could only shake his head in defeat and proceeded to the kitchen hoping to find his mum not mad at him for ignoring her. He silently wished that his brothers will stay true to their word. But hey, these was Sean and Seamus, two of the craftiest men in the world. They'd surely find a loophole in Arthur's sentence and use it against him. They weren't big shot lawyers for nothing.
"C'mon Alfie, let's get going before it starts to get dark."
One of the twins called out running towards the door. Alfred wondered to himself if he was really dealing with 25 year old men. He chuckled to himself as he followed the twins outside not noticing the sinister smirk Dylan had plastered on his pale face. Boy was Alfred going to enjoy that "friendly chat" with the twins.
O~..o..~O
...At the grounds...
The twins and Alfred walked on the short dirt path that led to the Willow tree where Alfred parked his expensive car. It was around 4:00 pm and already it was starting to dim. (Man, It really gets dark fast during December. ) Alfred thought to himself. He and Arthur arrived around 3:00 o'clock at the Kirkland manor and he didn't notice the time fly as he experienced the first wave of the Kirkland army.
"Oi, Alfred, get your head out of the clouds, and open the blasted car." Sean barked out impatiently.
Alfred snapped out of his thoughts and took out his car keys from his left pocket. He unlocked the car and popped open the trunk. Two big traveling bags were inside, one with an American flag and the other with a British flag. Alfred took out the heavy bags handing one to each twin.
He closed the trunk and locked the car. He turned to smile at the twins who were smiling at him while holding on to the bags. Sean had the American Flag bag, while Seamus had the British one. Alfred couldn't help but be happy; he was finally friends with two of Arthur's brother. Honestly, Seamus and Sean looked completely sane and luckily, they did not receive the overprotective genes which Dylan had.
"Thanks for the help guys!" The American said while rubbing the back of his neck. The twins were a complete blast to be with and they were smiling brightly at Alfred how could that equate to evil?
Soon the smiling faces disappeared and were replaced with a dark and ominous look. Sean dropped the American flag designed bag and kicked it to Alfred's feet while Seamus securely held on to the British bag. Needless to say, Alfred was caught off guard at the action and change of mood by the twins.
"Do you really think we'll let you date are brother, moronic yank?" Sean said with a sneer.
"You are not even worthy to become his friend, a bloody dense git who can't even tell a person faking concern." Seamus added kicking dirt to Alfred's bag.
"We really hoped you enjoyed the 'warm' welcome we gave you!" continued Seamus. "You were positively hilarious! I didn't know an idiot like you existed, duh! It's tea, of course it'd be hot."
The twins burst into wild laughter. Alfred just stood there stunned. A part of him knew it was too good to be true, Sean and Seamus' un-overprotective and accepting behaviour. He should have listened to Arthur, he should have believed Arthur when he had said that the twins were the human spawn of the devil. His tongue and now his pride suffered the consequences of not believing his boyfriend.
*SLAM*
Alfred found his back pressed up against his car with Seamus holding his shoulders keeping him in place. Seamus leaned closer to Alfred and stared him down. Sean tapped Seamus' shoulder giving him the let-him-go look which the younger twin did. He stood in front of Alfred drilling his pointer finger at Alfred's chest.
"Look here Alfred, We don't like you and we hate the fact that you're dating our baby brother Iggy, To be honest I have already killed you four times in my head... knowing Seamus over here, he probably did it four times more."
Sean said with a dark intimidating voice which caused Alfred to quiver. The Kirkland brothers were really good at intimidating and letting people feel uncomfortable under their gazes. Alfred had experienced it with Arthur and now Arthur's brothers. It had taken Alfred 3 years to get immune to Arthur's threatening tone and gaze. Oh, it was scary alright but the tones and gazes that Dylan, Sean and Seamus had were a whole new level of scary.
"So yank, I suggest you leave Arthur with us and get your manky arse back home to the States and we'll make sure you get to keep your arse and pretty face. Arthur doesn't need you, You're nothing but a bloody tosser!" Sean taunted while Seamus nodded fiercely behind him.
Oh boy was Alfred scared. He knew these guys meant business, but a hero never backs down from a fight especially if it was one that involved the love of your life. He slapped away Sean's hand from his chest and gave his own Jones deathglare.
"NO!" Alfred bravely declared.
"No? And why bloody no?" Was the incredulous reply of Sean.
"Because, I'll never leave Arthur. I love him with all my heart and I know he loves me back. There is nothing you can say or do that can make me leave him. I came here to get your blessing and... by the inventor of lasagna! I swear I'll get it. I'm scared of you and your brothers, but I'll conquer my fears for Arthur's sake. I would do anything for Arthur, because… because… I'm extremely, honestly, and utterly head over heels in love with him!"
Alfred said loudly and proudly never breaking eye contact with the older twin. He was Alfred Foster Jones, the dashing debonair, businessman extraordinaire, self-proclaimed hero with great hair and holder of Arthur Kirkland's prudish heart; he wasn't going down without a fight. He was going to win over Arthur's family even if it meant a trip to the hospital.
Sean blinked at the courageous reply of the American. A chuckle escaped from his lips which soon morphed into loud uncontrollable laughter , Seamus soon joined in as well. This scared the snot out of Alfred who just stood there with his face holding a confuse look. What's so funny?
"By Jove! That was completely hilarious! Alfred looked like he was about to explode his shit!" Sean, exclaimed as his laughter died down. "Alright, you've earned the right to stay. You have balls Alfred, that's good, let's go inside Seamus. Well Alfred it seems you've passed the first test. Congrats!" And with that Sean turned around still holding Arthur's bag. He was closely followed by Seamus who was still laughing like a mad man.
Alfred felt himself crumble down on the ground. He let out a relieved sigh as he looked above to the grey sky. That was intense, it had taken him all his willpower to say the things he had said out loud. He was happy it was over. He quickly grabbed his bag and raced over to the Kirkland manor. Alfred still kept thinking about what had transpired a few moments ago.
Once the trio reached the front porch, the twins moved aside to let Alfred open the door and enter first. As soon as the trio were inside the warm house, Alfred felt hands on his shoulders. He turned around to find himself staring into the sinister smiles of the twins once more.
"Remember Alfred, break Arthur's heart," Sean said cheerfully while looking into Alfred's eyes.
And we'll break your neck." Seamus said with a smiling face while giving Alfred's neck a loving squeeze.
And then they ran squealing like five year olds, causing Alfred to drop his bag and tremble in fear. They left him standing at the front door with hands around his neck.
Dylan soon popped out from the hall smiling like the devil himself.
"So, how was the friendly chat Alfred?"
-End-
Yehey! chapter 2 done!
