THE ATTENDANT
In a world where gay men have been stripped away of their basic human rights through the “Attendant” status, Peter becomes a slave in his own household. Soon, his step-father and younger brother learn to take their roles of “Masters” very seriously...
This is a dark, authoritarian, dystopian fiction. It includes numerous elements of non-consensual BDSM, dom/sub practises and sex, as well as incestuous relationships. The story does not, in any way, reflect the views or political opinions of the author.
All characters featured are above 18 years old.
Chapter 1: The Confession (part 1)
When they said that they would go back on gay marriage during their campaigns, no one believed them, or maybe people just did not want to hear them. It was simply unpractical. Were they really about to unmarry hundreds of thousands of couples? And what about their kids?
Sure, homosexuality was listed among the sins which led to the United States’ decline but it was far down the list, featured after the desacralization of God, the numerous failures of the educational system, the destruction of traditional families, abortion, the entertainment industry, porn...
We all knew that World War III was more than just a possibility at that point and the Traditionalist Party was very reassuring on this front, they were supported by high ranked military officials. Basically, everyone was scared since the bombings in Hawaii and the rates of unemployment had left the whole country in shambles.
I am not sure as to why I am trying to explain or excuse the behaviour of my parents and of their peers. I was only 10 years old when Lydia Ganderson was elected President of the United States and she did everything she had promised during her campaign, and more.
Now that I am 21 years old, she is still President and the country is very different from what I have known in my early years.
Of course, gay people can no longer get married and were indeed “unmarried”, but gay people simply do not exist anymore. A lot of things do not exist anymore.
When it started, each new law was welcomed by a new wave of protests, irremediably followed by a new wave of repression. Thinking that people actually marched down the streets to defend gay marriage is almost laughable these days, unconceivable. By the time the laws became so cruel that even the worst of the conservatives would have stood up against them, the right of free expression had been taken away.
The country was battling several wars abroad and we should have considered ourselves so lucky that our brave soldiers prevented the main land from being attacked. This new global war was the one of chemical weapons and despite of everything, the U.S. had been relatively preserved from that. God blessed.
The fit young man that I am should have been fighting the good fight, should have gone overseas, but I was excused from my war obligations due to the role occupied by my step-father in the Government.
My mother had remarried when I was only 5 and my little brother 2, so Stephan was basically my father. At the time, divorce was allowed but later on, my parents had learnt to be discreet about their origin story. To the eyes of everyone we know, Stephan is simply my dad.
I have always seen my parents deeply in love and I know I have been lucky in that regard. They were not very demonstrative with each other but I never saw them fighting or disrespecting one another.
Consequently, and until recently, my situation was pretty fortunate. I was working as a biologist for the state of Ohio, far away from the battlefields and was a prime candidate to a beautiful marriage with one or the other girl, also born in the right family.
Another misfortune accelerated the downfall of the Country and the rise of the Traditionalist Party: a strange disease which only hit women in their forties. In my previous life, this was the main focus of our laboratory’s research.
The disorder began when I was a child but as an adult, it seems to have become worse and worse, now affecting one out of two women. I lost my own mother last year; she was gone in just a few months.
From then on, it was just Stephan, my “dad”, and my baby brother, Martin.
Martin is not such a baby anymore; At 18 years old, he is very smart and is finishing highschool with the best grades of his class. School has changed a lot too, but he has excellent results in every subject: sports, sciences, handling of firearms…
I have always sensed a strong urge to care for my little brother. When he was a child, I had a gut feeling he was different from the rest and that I should protect him. Later on in life, I understood that he was gay. Maybe before he even did himself. I know that my mom knew too but by the time he was a teenager, the laws that prohibited the “propaganda of homosexual and bestial behaviours” were already in place and it is fair to say that coming out was no longer an acceptable thing to do.
I wonder if my step-dad knows. Sometimes I believe so and sometimes I am not so sure.
My instinct to protect my brother only grew stronger as I could see that he was battling a war with himself. At school, at church, even at home through the voice of my step-dad, we were educated on the horrors of homosexual behaviour. It is difficult to explain how and when, but gay people had become the scape goat, the responsible. “Overcoming homosexuality and other deviant behaviours” had become the obsession of the new Government.
I guess it was easier to take actions towards gay people rather than ending wars or curing actual diseases.
My step-dad, despite his rank and discourses at home, was far from being the worst of them. Surely, he was not a gay right activist but he voted against the immediate castration of all male displaying a homosexual behaviour. He had grown up in a very liberal America and even if he will never admit to it, I knew that he had gay friends back then.
The younger people were probably the worst – it was all that they have ever known - and even though we never mentioned it with Martin, I knew he was living in constant fear of being caught staring at other guys, especially at school.
Government officials were very proud to announce that year after year, their fight against homosexual propaganda was working. The numbers were undeniable: less and less people claimed to be gay! Soon, homosexuality would have disappeared completely.
Obviously, when coming out as gay means being stripped off of all your rights, you’d rather keep the info to yourself. However, this was not taken as a factor in the official numbers.
First, there was the law forbidding representation of gay people in any sort of media and entertainment materials. Then, there was the law forbidding gay people to work at places which welcome public: the biggest fear was that the general public would come into contact with a gay man (laws were not more tolerant with gay women) and that “homosexuality would spread”. Soon after, gay people were forbidden to have any sort of job and then, there was this question: what we should do with them?
At that stage, a lot of gay people had fled the country, others had been imprisoned for “propaganda”, others had been killed by militia – which were not formally endorsed by the government -, a few of them had been officially sentenced to death (mainly the activists).
Texas was the first state to consider that gay people should have rights, just not the same rights as humans. See, there were already so much derogations and exceptions for gay people in the Legislation that it had just become simpler to create a whole new set of laws and a new status for them.
The Traditionalist Party was not cruel, they were not about to kill them all. However, the prisons were already full and it appeared that gay behaviour was getting worse when we locked them together in cells.
Also, there was this increasing shortage of women, half of the housewives tended to die in their forties. A lot of adult men found themselves alone in their home. Of course, they could remarry younger women after a period of mourning of one year but still, who would do the house chores? And at this point, there was no longer enough woman for every man.
Just like that, it was decided, Men and Women would cohabit with “Attendants”.
The word Attendant itself had been carefully chosen. “Maid” would be degrading to the actual maids, still working. “Slave” was heavily considered but the liberals would make a whole thing about it, and there was no need to get everyone worked up over a word. “Attendant” was somewhat neutral. It was perfect.
It did change a lot of things. It would mean that a young boy discovering that he is a homosexual, could – if conversation therapies would not work – simply register himself, or rather itself, as an Attendant and abide to the “Attendant Code”.
It made sense, gay men were known to be effeminate, obviously they were not real men, but they were not women either. They were something else. They should serve another purpose in society, especially now that women were dying at a relatively young age.
The new system was apparently a huge success in Texas and the Attendant Code has been recently made enforceable throughout the country. There are some differences between states - I heard that a law had passed in one of the southern states allowing the Owners (and not the “Masters”, again the words were selected carefully) to sentence their own Attendants to death – but overall, the system was harmonized.
The Attendant Code is now the sole book allowed in my room.
My own life took a drastic turn for the worst just a few months ago.
I came home to find my father, well rather step-father, out of himself, pacing around our dining room. I was coming back from a rather unpleasing arranged date with a potential future wife.
“Close the door. We are in trouble.” Stated my dad in a very authoritarian tone.
I love, well I loved my step-father very much, but this tone he could take sometimes always felt scary. I noticed my younger brother, sitting down in a chair in a corner of the room, looking at the floor.
“Sit.” My father said to me.
Nervous, I obliged.
“We are screwed, Peter.” Hearing him employing such a familiar language was more concerning than his attitude so far. He was normally so well put together.
“What’s happening dad? You are worrying me.”
His hands were visibly shaking as he was still pacing around the table, he explained:
“I was informed by a friend of mine that we are about to be inquired. Tomorrow, hell, maybe even tonight, the inspectors will come to our house.”
This was a very bad news. I felt my heart racing.
“What? Why?”
“Are you both so stupid that you do not know that the internet is monitored?” He hissed at my brother and then at my direction. I noticed that Martin was crying but he did not make a sound.
“What’s happening?” I asked again.
“Apparently, someone from this household had logged into a forbidden website.” He took a deep breath. “A homosexual website.”
Fuck. We were indeed screwed. Checking a website with gay content – porn or otherwise - was obviously prohibited by at least a dozen of laws. Internet was still a thing but it was now mostly limited to the Government propaganda websites - YouTube for example was one of the first websites disabled due to the “homosexual propaganda” it contained. But if you were smart enough, you could still have access to the “dark web” which was pretty much the regular web as I had known it as a child.
I did not say a word. I did not look at my brother. He had not been careful enough and now we were in big troubles. What was going to happen to him? Was he about to become an Attendant? Go to prison? Be sentenced to death?
