When James wakes up it's 2 in the afternoon. He sighs happily as he gets out of bed and stretches. He takes his shirt off, throws it onto his bed and walks into his bathroom, where he finds a blonde brushing his hair.

"Who are you and what are you doing in my bathroom?" James asks.

The blonde's blushes as his eyes travel down to James toned and defined body. James watches the blonde check him out and smirks. The blonde's eyes immediately shoot up, meeting James' hazel ones.

"I'm Kendall. We met this morning and I couldn't find my bathroom..?"

"Oh, yes. You're Mr. Uptight's friend." James grabs his toothbrush and pushes Kendall out of his bathroom. "You have a bathroom in your room. If you're that blind, ask one of my butlers to show you." And with that he shuts the door in the blonde's face.

Kendall frowns at the door. "Fucking rude."

James brushes his teeth, washes his face, and heads downstairs without bothering to put a shirt on. He walks into the kitchen where he finds Carlos staring at Logan with a dopey grin on his face.

"Morning." James says.

"It's 2 in the afternoon." Logan says, staring at him with bewilderment.

"Your point?" James asks then grins down at the breakfast his chef had the courtesy of making.

He digs into his eggs and bacon while Logan watches. His lips twitch in annoyance but he tries to hide it.

"Couldn't you at least have the decency to put on a shirt?" Logan asks tightly.

"It's my house." James says with his mouth full. "And if you plan on getting married to me, you should get used to seeing me half naked."

"James, hurry up and stuff your face. You have to attend a conference." A woman with red streaks in her dark hair says.

"Is this about the hospital?" James asks. "Because I am not going."

"Her majesty wants you there." She answers.

James groans. "Lucy, c'mon. We've had this ongoing debate for the past year. It's not gonna change any time soon."

Lucy shrugs. "Get dressed. See you in 10."

James rolls his eyes, pushes his plate away and grabs a glass of orange juice.

"What's the conference about?" Logan asks.

"I'll be damned if I know." James shrugs. "I try not to pay attention."

"Then why do you go?"

"Because I'm forced. See ya later, Uptighty."

James gets dressed and follows Lucy into their conference room. He opens the doors and groans inwardly. Everyone he doesn't want to see is sitting and waiting for him.

"Did we cut your sleeping short, your highness?" A fat, bald man named Robert smirks.

Robert used to be Charles Diamond's business partner and now he's James'. James absolutely loathes him. Robert's been trying to do everything in his power to make England see that James isn't fit to run their country. Claims James is still a child and doesn't know anything. James will never understand why or how his father got stuck with this man. Probably has to do with the fact that Robert is his mother's younger brother; an uncle who absolutely hates him.

James purses his lips and is about to fire away an insult when his advisor, Harry, puts a hand on James' shoulder.

"Do not let him get to you, sir." Harry whispers.

James unbuttons his blazer and takes a seat next to his mother.

"Let's get this unnecessary conference over with, shall we." James says.

The men at the table raise their eyebrows.

"What do you mean unnecessary?" Robert asks.

"We've been having the same debate for the past year. I doubt this conference is going to change anyone's perspectives."

"Your father doesn't see this as an unnecessary issue. In fact, he was the one who initiated it." A man says.

"Well why wasn't it put into motion when he was alive?" James asks, glaring at the man. "It's been over 2 years since he passed away and yet, there hasn't been anything to further on this, as you call it, issue."

"Do you want to build the hospital in the poor part of town or not?" Robert asks impatiently.

"If this decision were entirely up to me, there would have been hospitals built in every corner but it's not. And as I recall, you're the one against building the hospital, are you not?" James snarks.

"James." His mother warns.

"I believe we do not need to waste money on another hospital, especially for the poor part of town. There are barely any medical physicians and they're all dying anyway." Robert replies.

James raises his eyebrows. "There aren't enough medical physicians because there aren't enough medical schools. And whose fault is that?"

"Like I said, we don't need to waste money." The fat man shrugs.

"Why my father decided to work with you is beyond my understanding." James spits out in disgust.

"James!" Ms. Diamond scolds.

"And why your father decided to make you king is beyond everyone else's understanding!" Robert says. "You can't run England. You can barely take care of yourself."

James stands up, about to tell the fat man off when Harry looks at him and shakes his head.

"Do not provoke him, your highness. He will only make matters worse."

James looks at his mother, who's staring back at him with a steely glare. James huffs out in annoyance.

"This conference is over. The next time we pick this back up, something productive better happen." James snaps and storms out of the room with Harry, Lucy and his mother following him.

He storms into the family room where Kendall, Logan, and Carlos are all seated. They all stop talking and look up at the raging son and mother.

"James!" Ms. Diamond snaps. "That was erratic behaviour."

"Robert is erratic! He's trying to get rid of me!" James retaliates.

"Well he wouldn't have too if you acted your age."

James takes off his blazer and throws it on the couch. "It has nothing to do with acting my age. He wants to get rid of me so his stupid son can become king!"

"Then don't give England a reason to doubt you." His mother says sternly.

"Is everything alright?" Carlos asks.

"Everything's peachy." James grumbles than orders Alfred to get him his coat.

"James, stop acting like a prince and start acting like a king." His mother says.

"I'm not king! You're not dead, you're still queen!"

"But you're going to become king." She says softly. "And you need to get your act together."

Alfred comes over to them and hands James his coat. He puts it on and tells Lucy to make sure the driver is out front when he's done speaking to his mother.

"Where are you going?" Ms. Diamond asks tiredly.

"To jump off a bridge." James replies flatly then leaves.

Ms. Diamond turns to look at Kendall and Logan. "I'm sorry you two had to witness that."

Logan shakes his head. "No worries. We know what he's like."

"Oh, well alright." She smiles at them and leaves the room.

"Is James always this…childish?" Logan asks Carlos.

The Latino smiles sadly. "He's not as bad as he lets everyone believe."

Logan snorts. "Of course you would say that. You're his best friend."

Carlos stands up. "This may sound rude, your highness, but don't judge anyone before you've been in their shoes. James isn't your typical prince."

Logan looks taken aback but he doesn't let it show. "You're right, he's far worse."

The Latino shakes his head. "He's been through a lot in the past few years that you wouldn't even begin to understand."

"And what exactly has he been through?" The prince asks.

"I'm just saying not to judge him before you walk a mile in his shoes." Carlos replies then bows down. "I'll take your leave, your highness."

He dips his hat and leaves Logan staring at his back.

"I like him." Kendall states.

"Me too, and far too much." Logan sighs.

"Where do you wish to go, your highness?" Jeffery, their driver asks James.

"The tree house." James answers, taking his Ipad 50 out.

"You're not going to dig up dirt on Logan are you?" Jeeves asks.

"What else is the tree house for?" James snorts.

This tree house as James calls it used to be a garage that he built into his very own secret headquarters. The garage had been abandoned for years and once James found out he would soon become king he put everything in his power to make it his own. He spent days and nights building it with his own hands. Of course, Jeeves and Jeffery told him to hire help but he didn't want anyone to find out about it. And no one had. Jeeves and Jeffery are the only ones aware. Now the old garage is a chic looking boutique that no one is allowed in on the other side of town.

Jeffery parks the limo and they get out, walking into the tree house. James locks the door as they make their way to the back, where all his computers and other technological devices are set up.

He turns on the computers and gets comfortable as he watches Logan flirt with his best friend. Yes, there are cameras set up in the palace and there is a room in the palace where anyone can watch this but James put cameras into every single corner of every room. Places no one else even thinks about.

And right now, Logan is sitting next to Carlos, sitting close and flirting with him. Or trying to flirt with him but Carlos looks slightly annoyed.

"Look," Logan finally sighs. "I'm sorry about what I said regarding James. He just doesn't seem like the type of person who gives a crap about his country."

"And like I said," Carlos says politely. "don't judge before you walk in his shoes."

James smiles softly. Carlos is and always will be the best friend James could ever ask for. He always sees the best in people, whether or not they deserve it and he's always, always puts James first.

"What about his life is so messed up that you're willing to defend him?" Logan asks impatiently.

"I'm sure if James were speaking to Kendall right now and telling him that you cannot run your country, Kendall would stick up for you because he knows you better than your own parents do. Just like I know more about James than anyone else does."

Logan frowns, at loss for words. Carlos pulls out a book and commences reading.

"Why are you trying to dig up your husband's past?" Jeeves asks.

"There's no way I'm getting married to that thing." James scoffs. "Too damn uptight."

"Well, anyway, his ex-girlfriend is a call girl and that's pretty much it." Jeeves says, passing an Ipad to James.

"An actual call girl?" James takes the Ipad and flips through some pictures. "Oh, she's pretty cute."

"He also wants absolutely nothing to do with the Chinese." Jeffery speaks up. "Claims it's none of his business they're making nuclear bombs."

"It will become his business when they blow up his country." James says, putting the Ipad on the desk and taking his phone out. It's his mother calling.

"Yes, mum." He answers.

"Where are you? Get home this instant."

"Okay, see you in a few." He hangs up and motions for Jeffrey to start up the car.

When he gets home his mother sends him a text tell him he needs to get dressed because he's having dinner with Mitchell. He groans but doesn't bother changing out of the suit he wore this morning. He goes to the balcony situated right outside of the living room where he finds Logan and Kendall waiting for him.

"Are we having a double date or something?" James asks as he takes his seat across from Logan. "Because if we are I think it's only fair that I invite Carlos."

"You know, he's right." Kendall says awkwardly. "I should get going."

"Oh, don't be silly. I'm sure Logan needs his babysitter wherever he goes." James smiles sweetly.

Kendall opens his mouth to tell the prince he isn't Logan's babysitter but Logan beats him to it.

"He is not my babysitter." Logan snaps.

"Really?" James takes a sip of his wine. "Because you had to bring him out here and have him accompany you to this dinner. If he isn't a babysitter than what is he?"

"He's my friend."

"Hmh." James nods and turns around.

He sees Carlos watching him and a huge grins breaks out over his face. He tells Carlos to join them but the Latino furiously shakes his head. James rolls his eyes but decides to let it go.

"Why are you here Logan?" James asks, taking his fork and knife and cutting his steak. "Why'd you leave your call girl for a man you can't stand?"

Kendall's eyes widen and Logan pales.

"And don't say she isn't a call girl because we all know that she is. Why'd you leave the woman that you love for me?" James continues. "We can have peace between our countries without having to get married."

"My parents want me to get married to you and I will not disobey them." Logan answers calmly. "And Camille is not a call girl."

"Very well then." James stands up. "You want to get married to me, you're gonna have to put up with my lifestyle and loosen the fuck up."

"What does that mean?" Kendall asks.

"We're going clubbing." James winks.

Logan's eyes widen. "No!"

But James ignores him and walks over to Carlos. "Let's go, Carlitos. We've got clubs to hit up."

The Latino bites on his bottom lip. "I don't think that's a good idea."

"Nonsense!" James snaps his fingers. "Alfred, tell Jeffery to bring out the car. Logan, Blondie, get dressed!"

"You can't force us!" Logan argues.

"Oh, but I can." James smiles. "You see all these men? They work for me and they will forcefully dress you and carry you out to the car if you don't do it yourself."

Logan frowns and huffs but he does as he's told and gets dressed, Kendall in tow.

"James-" Carlos starts to say.

"C'mon, this is the perfect opportunity for you and Logan to get sexually intimate."

"I don't want-"

"Save it, Carlitos. You know I know you better than anyone." He smirks and walks to the foyer where they wait for Kendall and Logan.

James gets into the car first, pulling Kendall in after him so Carlos and Logan can sit next to each other. Logan grudgingly gets into the car and sulks.

"This night, my friends, will be a night you will never forget." James smirks.

"We aren't your friends." Logan snaps.

"Be nice or I'll leave you alone at the club to fend for yourself." James says sweetly.
