'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Five days later – the last day of Reid's trip – Thursday morning, Reid and Kendall were in Kendall's room back in 2J asleep in his bed cuddled up to each other; Kendall's head on Reid's chest and Reid's arms around his waist, both in nothing but boxers. Kendall's alarm clock went off in repetitive beeps a few minutes later, filling the silent room. Reid tightened his hold around Kendall before his eyes shot open, startled by the sudden loud sound and was prepared to protect Kendall if it was anything dangerous. Kendall awoke to see the startled reaction of his boyfriend and grinned before shifting his arm from underneath himself and reaching it out behind him to shut off his alarm. Reid loosened his grip once he realized there was no danger. The clock read 6. Once Reid saw the time, he groaned sleepily in displeasure and pulled Kendall to his chest more firmly.
"6am? Why do you have to be up at 6am?" Reid mumbled.
Kendall ran his hand over Reid's sexy as hell, drool worthy chest soothingly as he rested his chin on it and looked up at Reid.
"Got music practice." His little lover softly replied in a sleepy voice as well.
Reid frowned his eyebrows and looked down at his boyfriend questioningly.
"Music practice?"
"Mmhmm. Gotta be in the recording studio at 7. We're going over our songs for our new album that we're working on."
Reid's eyes filled with realization. 'Oh yeah…my baby boy's a famous singer now. *chuckles* I always seem to forget that. He's still just a regular, every day guy to me.'
"Oh….alright. It's still so weird thinking of you as a mega famous celebrity. To me you're still my little Kendall, just with a voice of an angel."
Kendall lightly blushed. "I'm glad. I don't like it when I'm treated differently just because I'm famous."
Reid smiled softly at him. "I know."
Kendall shifted to get up and get ready for the studio, Reid reluctantly letting him slip out of his arms. As Kendall pulled on his clothes of the day, he looked over at his boyfriend in thought.
"You can go with me, if you want."
Reid was watching him that whole time and tore his eyes from his body to meet his eyes at the question.
"Really? That would be awesome. I've never seen you sing as a group before. I've always heard you sing by yourself with no music. What is that called again? Aca-something."
Kendall giggled, now fully dressed. "Acapella, honey."
Reid rolled his eyes playfully. "Whatever."
"And yeah, I know, that's also why I really want you to come." Kendall continued.
"I'm so there," He looked at the clock again and groaned once again. "But why so early?"
Kendall grinned. "That's Gustavo for ya. Always likes to get important stuff done first thing in the morning."
Reid looked questioningly at him. "Gustavo?"
"Our producer,"
Reid nodded in understanding. Since he was going as well, he got up and started getting ready too. After they were both ready for the day, they went to the kitchen, noticing they were the only ones out of their room right then when they looked around the living room and kitchen areas. Kendall went to prepare breakfast, Reid sitting at the long counter that separated the kitchen from the living room watching him cook. Kendall cooked something that would be quick. He chose eggs and French toast. As he cooked, he felt arms wrap around his waist and a mouth running up and down his neck. Knowing it was Reid, he leaned his head to the opposite side where Reid's mouth was, allowing him full access to his neck and placed an arm over Reid's that was on his waist.
"Careful. The others can come in any minute." Kendall stated softly.
Reid paused in mouthing his neck, his lips now resting closed against his neck.
"I know, but you're just so delectable right now, couldn't stand it anymore. Just had to taste you." Reid whispered then continued mouthing his neck.
Kendall grinned and continued to cook breakfast for everyone. Reid separated himself from Kendall's personal space just in time since the other bedroom doors opening sounded through the mostly quiet apartment. Kendall's friends walked in just when Kendall was taking everything off the stove and small electric flat surfaced grill to prepare the food for sampling and sat everything on the long counter. He then got out everyone's plates and silverware and set those up on the counter too.
'The perfect little house wife. And he's all mine.' Reid mused in his thoughts possessively in pride.
"Something smells good." James commented as he and the other two walked over to the kitchen.
Kendall smiled. "Sure hope so since we won't be able to have anything else to eat till we get back."
"Yes! Eggs and French toast! My favorite breakfast! Love you SO much, Kendall!" Carlos said excitedly as he rushed over to fill his plate.
Kendall laughed, but his laughter got cut short and disappeared from his throat when he saw Reid glare intensely, as sharp as daggers at Carlos, Carlos unknowing of it since his back was to him. Kendall being next to Reid, he lightly nudged his side with his elbow, gaining Reid's attention. Reid's gaze changed instantly when his eyes landed on his love – his eyes always softened when they were directed towards Kendall, no matter what situation they were in. Kendall looked at Reid in a comforting gaze and used his magic to telepathically speak to him since his friends were within ear shot.
'Calm down, it's okay. Carlos doesn't mean it in that way. He meant it in a platonic way, in a strictly nonromantic, brotherly way. All four of us say it to each other all the time. It's to show that we care and appreciate one another. Okay? ' The younger blonde said soothingly.
Reid's muscles untensed and his face relaxed. 'Okay…good. Thought I'd have to tell him to back off.'
Kendall smiled loving Reid showing how important he was to him. 'You don't.'
They all ate and conversed casually, Reid talking to them more. When they finished, they all went for the front door and exited the apartment to head for the BTR jeep. It was a plain soft curved black jeep with sliding back doors. It had 7 seats; 2 in the front, 2 right behind those, and 3 in the very back. Logan took the driver's seat, James took passenger and Carlos sat behind James. Kendall and Reid sat in the very back wanting to sit next to each other.
Logan opened the door to their personal music room once they got to the studio and entered the front doors.
"Hi, Gustavo." The BTR boys greeted the man in the control room split off from the performing section.
Gustavo smiled at seeing their arrival right on time. "Morning, dogs, ready to get star –" Gustavo paused suddenly in his sentence from just noticing there being 2 blonde boys too many, and that extra blonde boy looking just like Kendall. He stared stunned.
Carlos, James, and Logan chuckled while Kendall smiled in amusement and Reid lifted a brow in curiosity at the man.
"Was I hit on the head, cuz there's two Kendalls." Gustavo stated finally.
The BTR boys broke out laughing while Reid smirked and gazed over at the other boys in amusement.
"Oh my god, two Kendalls….now that was too good." Logan laughed out, all their laughing dying down.
"Gustavo, they're brothers." James cleared up for their producer.
Gustavo looked surprised by that. "Brothers? Man…you two look exactly alike."
"Yep," Kendall replied happily with a smile. "He's joining us today to listen to us perform. It's his last day here in California and I want it to end on a high note….no pun intended."
Reid smirked and huffed out a laugh at Kendall's accidental joke, the other three boys chuckling as well.
Gustavo smiled. "Alright, no problem. Let's get started with some of the new songs you guys put together, shall we?"
The BTR boys agreed and got set up – retrieving their stools to line up and sit next to each other, and set up their mics in front of them – Kendall told Reid to sit back, relax and enjoy of which he did, finding a discarded beanbag chair and took a seat in it off to the side of the boys at a reasonable distance away.
"Alright, so what song should we practice first?" Kendall asked his friends. Even though he was the youngest out of their group, he was the leader of their group.
"What about The City Is Ours?" James suggested.
"Kay, agreed on The City Is Ours?" Kendall asked Carlos and Logan.
"Yep." Carlos and Logan replied. Kendall wanted to do that one then too, so he agreed to it as well.
"Okay, Gustavo, we're gonna start with The City Is Ours."
"Alright, starting the track for The City Is Ours." Gustavo replied as he flicked and pushed some buttons.
Instrumental music started through the speakers at the front of the room where the control room was, which had a larg viewing window to see each other. The boys grabbed their mics from the stand and got ready to sing their parts. These were newly written songs they put together not too long ago and singing them together was still new to them since they haven't had many opportunities to practice the songs together.
Since these songs are so new, no one has heard them before except the BTR boys and Gustavo and their body guard Fret-Train, so it was exciting that someone else was gonna be able to experience them and give opinions on them. Reid's eyes mostly stayed on his boyfriend, waiting expectantly to hear what Kendall always talks about.
(Opening chorus starts)
Kendall did the first solo. Reid smiled, happy he'll hear Kendall first right away.
(Kendall singing beginning of first verse)
(Carlos sings the rest of the first verse with the help of the rest of BTR)

Reid began tapping his foot to the catchy beat, really enjoying the song.
(Logan sings rest of second verse with help of the rest of BTR)
(All sing chorus)
(James sings bridge)
(All sing chorus)
(Kendall says last line of chorus)
As the song ended Reid clapped and whistled with a joyful smile. The boys looked over at him with big smiles.
"I'm guess it's good?" Logan said to Reid.
Reid grinned. "Good? That song was sick!"
The BTR boys smiled wider at that. "Thanks, me and Kendall wrote that one. All of us came up with the notes and instrumental." James informed.
Reid looked at Kendall in surprise at that and Kendall smiled at him bashfully. Reid then had the look of pride on his face at the fact that, that sweet song was written by his one and only beloved boyfriend and brother.
"Okay, so do you wanna just go in order down the line we arranged for the album?" Carlos asked his friends.
The rest of BTR agreed, so they went down the line of their new songs.
"This next one is called Boyfriend written by our very own Kendall." Logan informed Reid before the track was started and they began singing again.
Reid felt that pride swell up inside him at the fact that his baby wrote yet another song for their band. Since the song was called Boyfriend, Reid got extra interested in what this song would contain.
(All sing opening chorus)
(Kendall sings first verse)
Kendall looks at Reid as he sings the first verse and chorus, Reid meeting his on and off gaze and smirking once he got the inside message of what Kendall's meaning by looking at him while singing. Reid also thought in that moment of just Kendall's voice hitting his ears that he no doubt had a voice of an angel. His voice was so gorgeous and the best out of all of them.
(Kendall sings chorus, all singing the end chorus)
(James sings second verse)
(Kendall sings chorus, all singing the end chorus)
(Carlos sings bridge)
Reid laughs at the Twilight reference Carlos sang.
(Kendall sings chorus, all singing the end chorus)
(Kendall sings last line)
Reid smiled. "Beautiful." He said softly.
Kendall heard him and smiled lovingly and happily at him. They then moved on to the third new song.
"This next one's called Music Sounds Better With U." Kendall informed to their audience of one.
(Carlos and Logan sing the opening line)
(James sings first verse)
(Logan sings other part to first verse)
(Carlos sings another part to first verse)
(All sing chorus)
(Kendall sings second verse)
Reid found it interesting that Kendall said how he – meaning Reid – would've felt about love if he wasn't with Kendall.
(Logan repeats his part to first verse)
(Carlos repeats his part to first verse)
(All sing chorus)
(Carlos sings part of bridge)
(Kendall sings part of bridge)
(Both Kendall and Carlos take turns singing rest of bridge)
(Mann raps – his voice being pre-recorded to use when not physically there to perform his part)
(All sing chorus)
Big Time Rush took a quick vocal break and drank some water. Kendall walked over to Reid and sat next to him. He would've sat in his lap, but seeing as his friends were right there, he didn't.
"How you liking the songs so far?" Kendall asked his boyfriend.
"Amazingly. You didn't tell me you wrote songs for your band."
Kendall looked sheepish. "Oh…yeah…I would've, but every time I had the thought of telling you, to myself it always seemed to be coming off as bragging and I didn't want to sound like that. And then I ended up not saying it since I couldn't think of a good way to say it."
"Mmm, well, let me just say…you kick ass with song writing."
Kendall giggled. "So you like them? The songs I wrote."
"Hell yeah, I do. They're catchy and sound great."
Kendall smiled. "Good, I'm glad." Kendall then looked over at his band mates and Gustavo to see they weren't paying attention to them. And at that, Kendall took that chance to sneak in a as long as they could afford, deep, heat filled kiss to Reid's irresistible lips. When Kendall pulled out of the kiss and they opened their eyes, he saw Reid's eyes cloud over with lust. As soon as Reid tried leaning back in to claim Kendall's lips again, Kendall got up and walked back over to his bandmates. Reid playfully glared at Kendall as he walked away and began talking to him telepathically.
'Oh, you are so lucky people are here or I would've seriously jumped you. You left me turned on as hell here.'
Kendall giggled. 'You'll have to wait and jump me after practice.'
Kendall said seductively as he made a show of bending down to pick up his water – making sure Reid got a delectable view of his ass – and then bending down again to set it back on the ground when he got done taking a sip. Reid's eyes grew more lustful as he stared at that delicious ass presenting itself to him.
'You bet your cute ass, I will.' Reid purred through their minds.
'Can't wait.' Kendall purred back.
"Okay, this one's called If I Ruled The World." Carlos stated for Reid.
(Kendall sings first verse)
(James sings other part of first verse)
(All sing chorus)
(Logan sings second verse)
(James sings end of second chorus)
(All sing chorus)
(IYAZ raps over the speakers)
(All sing chorus)
(Kendall sings last line)
Reid cheered at that one after they finished. "Ye-hea, I especially love the lyrics on that one."
Kendall giggled. "He's saying that 'cause he wishes he could have free reign of the world with no rules and no cops stopping him from doing what he wants."
Once that was explained to Logan, Carlos and James they laughed as well. Reid smirked.
"This one's called Worldwide, written by me." Kendall stated once they're laughter calmed.
Reid felt a rush of excitement that he was going to hear another song independently written by his boyfriend. That last one that was written by only him was about the two of them, so Reid wondered if this one would be about them too.
(James sings first verse)
(Kendall sings part of first verse)
As Kendall sang his part, he looked over at Reid. Yep, he was right. The song is about them.
(James sings part of first verse)
(Kendall sings part of first verse)
When Kendall sang his second solo part, he was still looking at Reid, trying to relay the meaning of the song to him sutly. Reid seemed to get the message telling by how soft Reid's eyes and smile got.
(Carlos sings part of first verse with help from rest of BTR)
(Carlos sings part of first verse)
(James sings rest of first verse)
(James sings chorus with help from rest of BTR)
(Logan sings last part of chorus with help from rest of BTR)
The song was, indeed very fitting for Kendall and his situation. Because of how much the lyrics were personalized with messages for the two of them, Reid kept a special place in his heart for that song, making it their song.
(Logan sings part of second verse)
(Kendall sings part of second verse)

(All repeat last line of first verse)
"Wow…" Reid whispered too soft for anyone to hear. He felt very touched by the words of that song, made him feel light and happy.
Kendall looked over at him again and winked in a content smile. Reid smiled lovingly back.
"Do one more and call it a day?" James asked his friends. The rest of BTR agreed and prepared for their last song.
"This last one is called Oh Yeah." Stated Carlos.
(All sing opening chorus)
(James sings first verse)
(All sing chorus)

(All sing chorus)

(Kendall sings last line of bridge)
(All sing chorus)
"Sounds great, all of it did." Gustavo commented as they all got ready to leave.
"Great." James stated happily, the other boys of BTR agreeing and they all began walking out of the studio.
Reid and Kendall were in the back of the group, walking through the halls to get back to the car. While they did so Reid and Kendall talked softly to each other as the others walked ahead.
"That was fun. I really loved the songs." Reid commented with a smile.
Kendall smiled in return. "Happy to hear. Do you have a favorite out of the ones we did?"
Reid grinned. "Yes, I do."
Kendall perked in interest. "Which one?"
"Worldwide."
Kendall smiled. "It's mine too."
Reid smiled tenderly. "Wanna make it our song?"
Kendall nodded. "Mmhmm, I'd love that."
"Kay, it's our song then."
With that they loaded up in the car and went back to the BTR apartment.
As soon as they got back in 2J, Reid grabbed Kendall's hand and quickly dragged him into their room – really Kendall's room, but now their room when Reid's there – smiling at the three other boys that looked at them curiously to ward off any negative assumptions. Reid opened their bedroom door and shut it quickly and just as quickly shoved Kendall up against it and kissed him intensely. Kendall moaned at how intensely he kissed him. Reid's hands roamed to take off Kendall's clothes after a few seconds of just kissing him. When Reid separated his lips he kneeled down to take off Kendall's shoes and socks; then his pants and boxers.
"Told you I'd jump you as soon as we were alone." Reid said softly as he worked at getting Kendall naked.
Kendall smiled. "Good….was wanting you for a while when we were at the studio." Then Kendall whispered something dirty to him near his ear.
It caused Reid to growl with arousal and stood back up to quickly slip Kendall's shirt off. Reid took off his own clothes even quicker. Once both were naked, Reid latched onto Kendall's neck and made his eyes go black to use a spell to soundproof the room and lock the door.
~half an hour of making love later~
"Man, you sure dirtied up the place." Reid stated in a chuckle as Kendall slid down from his arms to the ground.
"Just proves how good you are." Kendall stated satisfyingly.
Reid smirked in pride, his ego being elevated. "I am pretty damn good, ain't I?"
Kendall giggled and hummed in agreement. Reid's eyes turned black once again to magically clean all the mess away. Kendall and Reid kissed for a bit before they got dressed and left the room to go into the living room.
James, Carlos, and Logan saw Kendall and Reid walk in the living room finally after half an hour.
"Hey, you two. What were you doing for a whole half hour?" Carlos asked curiously wondering why they were in Kendall's room for so long. Kendall and Reid looked at each other then met Carlos' gaze again.
"We were talking." Kendall lied smoothly.
Carlos found nothing suspicious with that answer, so he didn't question any further. But when Reid sat down on the couch with Kendall and flipped on the TV, James spotted something on Reid's neck that caught his eye. Two dark spots on the left side of his neck; one just where the collar of his shirt rested and one a bit above that. James knew what hickys looked like and those looked like hickys.
"Hey, Reid, where'd you get the hickys from?" James asked bluntly.
Reid and Kendall tensed on the couch still looking at the TV. Logan got up from the stool he was sitting on at the counter to get a closer look at these hickys. Logan nodded in agreement once he identified them.
"Yep, those are definitely hickys, alright." Logan confirmed.
"That's strange…he didn't have any before we went to the studio. And he didn't while we were there. And he didn't when we came back to the apartment. But he does now after half an hour of being in Kendall's room….with Kendall only with him." Carlos mused. James gasped and walked around the couch to see the brothers' faces.
"No way! You?" James said in shock while pointing at Kendall. "And you?" He said pointing to Reid.
Logan's eyes widened in realization as well and walked around the couch to face them. "You're together?" Logan asked also in shock.
Reid propped his arm on Kendall's farthest shoulder, lightly showing claim.
"Yeah…what of it? Got a problem?" Reid replied defensively.
"No, man, we're just shocked. We're not against it, right Logan…Carlos?" James asked.
"Right, I'm fine with it." Logan replied.
"Me too." Carlos agreed.
Kendall was surprised by this. He wanted them to react this way, but he never thought it would actually happen.
"You're actually okay with this?" The younger blonde asked.
"Well, yeah. We're really surprised, but if you're happy with each other, then what's there to have a problem about?" James stated.
"We didn't even know you were gay, Kendall. So that makes the shock of this even more intense." Carlos stated.
Kendall grew sheepish. "Oh, yeah, I understand that. Sorry I didn't tell you. I was just scared of your reaction. But I see now that I had nothing to worry about." He said with a smile on the last sentence. Carlos, James, and Logan smiled in validation of that.
"So how long have you been together?" Logan asked the brothers.
Kendall tangles his fingers with Reid's that was resting on his shoulder, happy that he can now do things like that in front of them now.
"6 and a half years." The younger boy replied.
The 3 BTR boys' eyes widen. "And you're not married?" James said in shock.
"You're at least engaged….right?" Carlos asked. Kendall and Reid looked at one another. Kendall knew this was coming.
"No," Kendall replied.
That got the 3 BTR boys' eyes to widen.
"We are soon, but we're not ready for that just yet." Kendall informed them.
"We were wanting to be out of school before we made that step, so we still got a couple years before it happens." Said Reid.
"So you'll be 18 then when you get married." Logan mused. Kendall nodded.
"Good age decision." Carlos complimented.
Kendall giggled while Reid smiled in amusement of his own.
A day later Reid and the BTR boys were at the LA airport saying goodbye to Reid.
"It was nice meeting you." Said Logan.
"You guys too. Watch after my little Kendall for me, alright?"
"Will do, we're like 3 extra big brothers to him, we got his back." James stated in a smile.
Reid smiled in approval feeling very pleased that Kendall will be safe. "Good," Reid then rested his eyes on Kendall. He took his hand and brought him a couple steps from the others, tangled both his hands with Kendall's, and gazed lovingly at him, his eyes going incredibly soft.
"I'll see you again soon after I graduate school. You'll come visit me this time?" Asked Reid.
"Yeah…just gotta wait for the rest of this month to end and then I'll see you again."
Reid smiled. "Yep, not long at all, doesn't make going right now too much easier, though."
Kendall smiled back. "It sure doesn't. Thank God for the internet and texting so we can face-time and talk no matter what we're doing."
Reid laughed then leaned in to kiss him. It lasted for a few seconds before they parted, not missing the faint 'awing' of Kendall's friends behind Kendall.
"Love you. Take care Ken-Ken."
Kendall smiled. "Love you too. And try to behave while we're apart."
Reid grinned. "I can only try, babe."
Kendall laughed. "Now, get on your plane before you miss it, my sexy bad boy." He said before kissing him one more time.
Reid moaned from what he called him. "God, that makes me want to stay. But alright, alright. See ya, babe. Bye you three."
They all replied in their goodbyes then started their way back to their apartment. Kendall's friends liked Reid and thought he was a pretty alright guy and wouldn't mind seeing him again on his next visit. That made Kendall happy. And of course, as all friends do, they playfully teased him and pestered him about being in a relationship and tried to get info on what they were doing in Kendall's room for Reid to get those hickys yesterday. Kendall rolled his eyes and laughed at his goofy friends and they went into a playful banter as always.
