A Covenant and Big Time Rush crossover
Chapter 2: Secrets Untold
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Two days later, Friday morning Reid was at the airport boarding his plain for Los Angeles, California. He found a comfy looking window seat and decided to claim that for the 6 hour flight ahead. Kendall and Reid have been states apart for about 3 years and a half now; the reason being because Kendall wanted to reach his dream, the dream of becoming a singer. And the place that can make that come true more than any other was California, so Kendall made the plan to leave at 13 to make it happen. Of course it was hard for Kendall and Reid, and their mother to be away from each other so often, but they made it work by visiting each other a few times a year. He would go to California and Kendall would come to Massachusetts, so they both got to see each other and keep up with each other pretty well. It was still hard not seeing each other every single day, though.
Reid's friends…..well, they didn't know about Kendall, not yet at least. How? Well, Kendall left at 13 at the beginning of summer which was when Reid met his best friends at Lake Oolega a few weeks later when he and his friends were all 15, so his friends never saw Kendall then. And when Kendall came to visit him, they would always check in to a hotel and spend time together there. He never mentioned him to his friends through the 3 years they've known each other and still hasn't now.
The reason being because they would eventually figure out what he and Kendall were to each other if he mentioned him since he knew his friends would be sneaky and follow him around just to meet Kendall when Reid took his time away from them to spend time with Kendall when he visited. He didn't want his friends to give him crap when they found out he and his brother are dating. He wouldn't be able to keep sane, so he just kept it from them. But he couldn't keep it from them forever. They would find out eventually, especially since Kendall comes to Massachusetts to see him and their mom, so yeah, they would run into each other sometime. Because of this thought, he reluctantly made the decision to tell his friends of the existence of his brother whenever he came back from his trip.
Los Angeles, California Airport
Kendall waited eagerly in his seat at the airport, his eyes glued to the exit his brother would come through from his plain. His fingers fidgeted in his lap from the excitement that was building within him. It's been 4 months since the last time they met up in person, so he was super excited to truly see him again. They have to deal with phone calls, text messages, and webcam for interaction with each other when they couldn't physically see each other, and though it made the distance between them more bearable, it was never as satisfying as actually being in the same room with one another and being able to physically reach out and feel each other there. A voice over an intercom sounded through the room saying the flight from Massachusetts has landed and was now unloading. Kendall shot up out of his seat and walked closer to the exit. Then finally Reid walked in a couple minutes later with that black and red suitcase he recognized all too well in hand rolling on the floor. A huge smile broke out on Kendall's face.
Kendall raced over to him, Reid letting go of the handle of his suitcase leaving it standing and opened his arms for Kendall to leap into, which he did enthusiastically. Reid laughed in the embrace, always loving how happy Kendall is at seeing him.
"Mmm, hey baby." Reid said softly as they hugged tightly. Kendall nuzzled his face against Reid's shoulder in a grin.
"So happy to see you, Re." Kendall softly spoke back hugging him tighter.
"Happy to see you too."
'Re' was Kendall's nickname for him. It was the first word he ever spoke as a baby, which is why it was so special to them. He couldn't pronounce 'Reid' back then. All he could pronounce was the beginning of his brother's name, so that's what he called Reid. They both still liked it as they got older, so it stuck with them. Kendall was the only person Reid allowed to call him that since it was sacred territory that was only theirs. If anyone else tried calling him that, Reid would have all kinds of hell rain down on them.
Reid's body language gave away what he was feeling when Kendall called him that; melted. His whole body visibly melted into his baby boy's arms. His muscles completely loose and slack, and his face resting in the dip of his neck. Kendall did this to him every time he was around him. His care-free aura, his voice, his touch, the way he looks at him, all of him. It melted him down to a gentle, caring, giddy bad boy rather than his tough, show no nonthreatening emotions, headstrong bad boy.
Reid leaned his head back and kissed him passionately, Kendall returning it with the same passion. Once they separated, Reid took his suitcase and they walked out of the airport hand in hand.
When they got to Kendall's car – an orange and black Camaro SS Convertible with retractable roof – they loaded Reid's suitcase in the trunk before entering the car, Kendall driving.
"We're going to the apartment this time." Kendall mentioned as he started driving.
Reid was surprised by that. They usually checked in to a hotel to keep Kendall's friends from seeing him.
"Really? Your friends leave it empty?"
"No, they're there. I figured it was time to let them know about you. It's always so tedious keeping your path and their path from crossing, so I thought I'd take a chance to ease things up."
Reid blinked, surprised Kendall would be so brave to do that now of all times. He decided the same thing. Well, twins think alike so they say, and they'd be right. He and Kendall shared the same thoughts often, so why not on this?
"That's a big decision. I'm proud of you for being so brave. I thought the same thing on my way here. I'm gonna tell my friends about you too. When I get back, I'll let them know. Do your friends know I'm coming?"
Kendall nodded. "Yes, actually. I told them about you and that you were visiting two days ago. They're expecting you."
"Oh, wow. Okay then. A lot of things I wasn't expecting this trip." Reid said in a smile.
Kendall giggled which made bubbles of happiness appear within Reid of which only Kendall can create.
"Yeah, sorry, I should've told you earlier so you wouldn't be so overwhelmed."
"Nah, babe, its fine. I'm not terribly overwhelmed."
Kendall sighed in relief. "Kay, good."
Reid chuckled then they fell comfortably silent. They pulled up to Palm Woods apartments and walked inside fingers laced together. When Kendall opened their room 2J, he saw Logan reading in a corner, Carlos playing with dominos on the floor, and James watching television on the orange couch. He walked inside, Reid trailing behind him scanning the room since he's never been inside it before. When they got in the middle of the living room, that's when Carlos noticed them and focused on the taller, more mature looking blonde boy behind him.
"Is that your brother, Kendall?" Carlos asked.
Kendall grinned. "Yeah."
The rest of Kendall's friends looked over at that. "Wow, you never said he would look just like you." Stated Logan.
Kendall giggled. "Yeah, we're sort of twins. In looks, anyway. We weren't born at the same time."
James turned off the TV before speaking. "Wow, cool." He mused with a smile.
Kendall introduced his friends to him. "This is Carlos, James, and Logan. Guys, this is my brother Reid."
Reid gave his usual smile in greeting, not quite to friendly standards, but not cold either. Kendall's friends walked to stand in the middle of the room in front of the two brothers while being introduced.
"Nice to finally meet you." Said Logan in a friendly smile.
"Likewise." Reid replied.
Kendall's friends and Reid got to know each other little by little as the day went on. Logan, James, and Carlos all thought Reid was pretty cool despite him not being too enthusiastic about mingling with them which they could understand since he got off a plane only a few hours ago and hasn't seen his brother in a long time. As night fell and Kendall's friends went to bed, Kendall and Reid went to the outdoor pool to have some time together alone. Kendall put on some trunks before they left and let Reid wear one of his, so they were both in trunks once they took their clothes off at the side of the pool and walked in the water. Reid swam over to Kendall putting his arms around his waist as he pulls him against him, the younger blonde wrapping his arms around his boyfriend's neck once they met in the water.
They stayed in the section where the front of their feet could still touch the bottom, not wanting to go to the deep end at the moment. Reid rested his head against Kendall's as the older of the two let out a sigh of content. A full moon shined down on them overhead making the crescent moon pendant on each of their necklaces – which hung close to their necks – shine. They got each other the necklace for their second anniversary. They rarely take it off, which is why Reid and Kendall are always seen with a crescent moon pendant around their neck. If you put the two crescent moon pendants together, they made a full moon. It was symbolism of their soul and heart being only half when the other is gone, but when together their soul and heart has become full again.
"Still practicing in the pool?" Reid asked softly as their heads rested together.
Kendall smiled. "Yeah, I still kick everyone's butt in racing."
Reid grinned in approval and pride and nuzzled his nose with his. "That's my boy."
Kendall let out a brief giggle which compelled Reid to claim his lips.
An hour of making love later~
Kendall sighed in content. "Love you."
"Love you too, Ken-Ken," Reid replied in a loving smile. When Reid looked around them at the water, that's when he noticed they turned a good spot of the pool white. Reid laughed.
"Definitely looks like we enjoyed the hell outta that session. If we went any longer, the whole pool would've been white." He said as his eyes turned black and made all the white disappear.
Kendall laughed. "Most of that is mine. Looks like you spoil me too much."
Reid smirked and turned his black eyes to Kendall after the mess was gone. "Mmm, well….what can I say….I love spoiling my baby,"
Reid then leaned in and kissed him deeply, arms still around each other, Kendall's around Reid's neck and Reid's around Kendall's waist. When they separated from their kiss, Kendall rested his head on Reid's shoulder, Reid laying his head on his and running his hand in a vertical motion on his back again lovingly.
"Do your friends know about your magic?" Reid asked.
When Kendall turned his head to look up at Reid, Kendall's eyes were black. "Mm-mm."
"Good. Let's keep that a secret from them a while longer until we're for sure they're trustworthy of something like that. Don't want them knowing you or any of us are witches before knowing that."
Kendall nodded in agreement with a smiled. "Kay."
Reid nuzzled Kendall and Kendall nuzzled back. Kendall was very anxious about his friends' reactions to him and his brother being witches and there being 3 more. His brother and boyfriend new more about how to do this than he did, so he trusted Reid's judgment whole heartedly and would wait patiently for his boyfriend.
