Pairing: Reid Garwin x Tyler’s Sister! Reader

Summary: Reader has had a crush on Reid forever, but doesn’t do anything about it, and Reid doesn’t seem to notice (he flirts, but he flirts with everyone). But now? People are dying and weird things are happening. Who breaks first?

Warnings: Cussing, Violence, Bugs, Use of Y/n, I think that’s it, but let me know if I missed any!

A/N: I can never find anything on The Covenant (2006) so I had to start writing my own fics, oh well! Also this was supposed to be short and sweet and now it’s long and slowburn, so it’s gonna be a two parter!

Sarah, Kate, and I rushed to Sarah’s car with the boys and the new guy right behind us. We were giggling all together, something about running from the cops giving us a silly rush of adrenaline. Kate offered the new guy a ride home, who introduced himself as Chase, and I made a mental note to bring up her flirting later since she’s with Pogue.

We all jump in Sarah’s car, but unfortunately the engine won’t turn over.

“Shit!” Kate and I both yell. Sarah leans her head out the window.

“My car won’t start!” She yells to the boys.

“Jump in with us!” Caleb shouts back and I smirk.

“I can’t just leave it here!” She says back.

“I can fix it for you!” Reid’s head pops up behind my brother’s.

I can’t help but roll my eyes. Of course he wants to show off to the new girl, she’s like a shiny new toy.

He lifts the hood of her car, and then drops it again, way faster than any mechanic would have, letting me know he used his powers. I rolled my eyes again.

“Try it now!” The car started up immediately.

“Thank you!” She shouted back.

I looked up to see Reid pushing Tyler into the passenger seat, the latter not looking very happy about it.

Once we got back to the dorms we said goodnight to Chase and went to our room. We all sat on the bed talking about the party when Kate brought up Reid and Caleb both hitting on Sarah. My head whipped to face her, jaw dropped, and she just smiled shyly.

“If I were you I’d pick Caleb.” Said Kate.

“Why? Sarah asked.

“I dunno, he’s always been the sweet one. That, and Y/n has been crushing on Reid since they were kids.” Kate whispered the last part under her breath, but not quiet enough.

“What?” Sarah looked at me dumbfounded.

“It’s just a crush!” I threw my hands up in defense. “Plus he’s such a flirt, I bet he doesn’t even notice me.”

Kate gave me a sad smile, and Sarah tilted her head.

“Whatever! It’s no biggie! I’m gonna go shower, I smell like smoke.” I said before getting my towel and walking down the hall to the showers.

While I was in the shower, I couldn’t help but feel like I wasn’t alone. I called out to see if anyone else was in here, but no one answered. I turned back to face the water. The lighting got brighter before there was a shatter, and the light was gone completely. The showers were completely dark now, so I turned off the water and wrapped my towel around me.

As I stepped out, I looked around and saw the shattered bulb on the floor, but there was still no one there. I turned around and jumped half out of my skin at the reflection of myself in the mirror, but again, it was just me.

Hurriedly, I walked out of the bathroom careful to avoid the broken glass. I walked through hallway quietly, listening to hear if anyone else was walking around. I paused, hearing steps behind me, turning around to be met with no one, again.

Turning back around to continue the trip back to my dorm, I screamed and almost dropped my towel. Reid was about 4 inches away from me.

“Holy shit, Reid! What is wrong with you?” I half yelled.

“Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you… that bad. We just got in.” He chuckled, smirking.

“No, I’m sorry I screamed so loud, I thought there was someone watching me in the shower, and I kept hearing things. I feel paranoid.” I said back.

He stepped closer, and then brushed past me, making me shiver since I was still in my towel.

“Let’s have a look, shall we?” He started for the showers.

I followed him in a silence. Not awkward, but not quite comfortable. I should probably feel more awkward, but something about Reid always makes me feel calm. Even though that’s the exact opposite of the energy he brings with him.

We walk into the showers together and he takes a look around the room.

“I, uh, don’t see anyone.” He said.

“There was- I-” I stammered.

“Let me walk you back.” He gave a small smile.

“Thank you.” I said once we made it to the door.

He stared at me for a minute, and I almost thought he was going to say something. Instead, he just gave a quick nod, turned around, and walked away. I looked down to unlock my door.

“Goodnight Reid!” I called out, but he was already gone.

The next day, Kate, Sarah, and Chase all went into town to run some errands. I had homework, so I stayed behind, but told them I would see them at Nicky’s this evening.

I finished my homework, but it wasn’t time to go yet, so I got dressed and made my way to the boys dorms.

“Yo, Ty, it’s me. Open up.” I banged on my brother’s door.

The door opened to a very unimpressed Tyler, and I made my way in. Unfortunately, his bed was covered in laundry, so I threw myself on Reid’s bed instead, noticing his absence.

“Where’s the other one?” I asked, grabbing a book off the nightstand. Dreamcatcher.

“He’s in the shower. We had swim practice and he didn’t wanna stink like chlorine when we go out.” Tyler responded.

I made a hum of acknowledgement, wondering if he would see anything weird during his shower. Realizing I was thinking about Reid in the shower, I opened the book and started reading, just to get my mind off him.

As if he heard us talking about him the door opened, and in walked Reid himself. Similar to my attire last night, he was only wearing a towel, and I had to admit, he was looking mighty fine.

“What’s up baby Simms?” He asked, as I put the book over my eyes so he could get dressed.

“It’s literally by 4 minutes, when is everyone gonna stop calling me that?” I rolled my eyes, even though they couldn’t see them.

“Sorry sis, that’s what you get for losing the fight to get out.” Tyler said, and I could practically hear the smirk in his voice.

“It’s not fair. You’re the boy, you got the powers anyway, why did you get to be older too.” I pouted as Reid pulled the book off my eyes, effectively letting me know he was decent.

“She makes a good point, you could have let her have one win.” Reid chortled. I stuck my arm out in a ‘Thank you’ manner, and shot a look at my brother who just laughed.

“Whatever, let’s go. I’m driving.” Tyler said, and Reid held his hand out to pull me off the bed.

“Yeah, yeah, you and your car.” Reid said back before turning back to me. “Why were you in my bed anyway?”

“Because Ty’s a slob and never puts his laundry away.” I deadpanned, and he laughed.

“If you wanted to be in my bed you just have to ask.” He smirked, and I smacked the back of his head.

“Ew, don’t be a creep.” I said, but I was blushing anyways.

When we got to Nicky’s, Kate, Chase, Sarah, and Caleb were already there. I took Tyler and Reid’s jackets, and joined the group at the table, while they split off to go play pool. I looked over to see Aaron and his friends already over there and sighed. This never ends well.

We hung out for about half an hour before Pogue showed up too, apparently he had to fix his bike. When he greeted Caleb, he mentioned that Reid and Tyler were here too, which I thought would be obvious considering I was here, but I guess not.

Pogue went to go grab some food, saying hi to the other two boys in the process, and since I was nosey, my eyes kept wandering over there. That was a mistake when they placed bets on one of the waitresses’s underwear. My crush, my brother, and one of my taken best friends. Gross.

Within a few minutes, Chase and Caleb had started a game of foosball, which left only me, Sarah, and Kate at the table.

“Wait, what just happened?” Sarah asked.

“What do you mean?” Kate said, and I nodded.

“Just a minute ago, we were all having fun, and now we are sitting here watching them have fun.” She said.

I shrugged, and Kate said, “It’s just what girls do.”

Sarah shook here head with a coy smile. “Uh uh, I’ll show you what girls do, someone give me a quarter.”

I pulled one out and handed it to her.

“Thank you.” She said in a sing song way, making her way over to the juke box.

Kate and I laughed as she chose a song and made her way to Caleb. Pogue gave him a pat on the shoulder as he was dragged out to the dance floor to dance with Sarah. Kate cheered, and Pogue looked at her, some emotion flashing across his face, but I didn’t know if it was guilt, or regret, or anger…

I looked back over to Reid and Tyler, wishing Reid would come ask me to dance, but the second I looked over a glass broke, and Aaron and Reid were pushing each other.

“Shit!” I said as Pogue and I made our way over, collecting Caleb on the way.

We all made our way outside to back each other up, but I was trying to catch Nicky’s eye on the way out so he would come break it up. Whether I succeeded or not, I wasn’t sure. Reid and Tyler were outside before the three of us.

“You bet him he couldn’t make the shot and he did!” Said Tyler.

“Well too bad, cause we’re not paying.” Said Aaron.

“What’s going on?” Caleb said as we stood next to our friends.

“He bet me I couldn’t make a combo shot, and well… I did.” Reid said with a knowing look.

“Listen-” Aaron was cut off by Nicky.

“Hey! Take it somewhere else!” He shouted from the door with a baseball bat.

“Whatever you say, Nicky.” Said Aaron, as he and his friends walked past us, shoulder checking us on the way out.

Reid pulled me behind him and Tyler so I didn’t get hit. I tried not to read too much into it. It’s just because I’m Tyler’s sister. Nothing else.

“What were you thinking?” Caleb asked when it was just us.

“I was just playing him.” Reid moved to face Caleb head on.

“Yeah, come on Caleb, they were suckers for it.” Said Tyler.

Reid walked closer to talk right in his ear and said, “Why don’t you quit being such a pussy?”

Caleb put his palm across Reid’s shoulder, and I stepped forward but Tyler pulled me back.

“I’m not finished with you yet.” Caleb said when Reid went to walk away.

Reid grabbed Caleb’s hand and used his powers. I don’t know what kind of spell he was using but it was strong enough to define the veins running through Caleb’s hand and arm.

“Reid.” Caleb winced. “Stop.”

But he didn’t. And it was visible the moment Caleb had enough. He clenched his the fist that Reid had, and it was enough to send Reid flying back into the wall of the building next door.

“Reid!” I screamed and went to lunge at Caleb, but Tyler held me back again, and gave me a stern look that said ‘Just let them fight it out.’

Pogue looked at me, then Reid, then Tyler. I looked between the both of them baffled that they would just watch. Sure they all fought, but it had been escalating recently with all of them ascending soon.

Caleb gave his usual ‘Don’t use, it’s seductive, you’re gonna expose us, I’m so self righteous’ speech, but Reid wasn’t having it. He levitated a metal barrel and hurled it right at Caleb, who sent it back with an alarming amount of force, sending Reid flying yet again, this time into pallets of glass bottles.

Reid got up slowly, but Caleb was already heading for him again, and finally Pogue intervened.

“Caleb, stop!” He said, pulling him back.

“It’s for his own good!” He said, not taking his eyes off Reid. “Keep using like you did last night when you ascend, you’ll be as good as dead!”

“So what? I fixed her car? Big deal!” Reid shouted back, Tyler and I running over to help him up.

“I’m talking later and you know it!” Caleb said, and I paused.

Like when I was in the shower later?

“The hell I do! I. Didn’t. Use. Later.” He said pushing past Pogue and Caleb.

“We shouldn’t use on each other, man.” Tyler tried to say.

“Oh tell it to Reid.” Caleb said back.

“Y/n, come on.” Ty said to me, as I hadn’t moved since helping Reid up.

I walked past all three of them before tyler followed me. I walked just fast enough that he wasn’t falling into step with me, but that I also didn’t catch up to Reid either.

By the time we made it back to the car, we had all inevitably synced our steps up. I didn’t say anything. I got straight into the back seat and slammed the door.

“Hey! Watch the doors!” Tyler said trying to lighten the mood.

I shot him a glare, and he shut up.

Reid sighed. “Look, Y/n-”

“No. Both of you just shut up. All of you were being immature and you all know that I hate that.”

The rest of the ride home was silent. Once we made it back, I went straight to my dorm, splitting off from the boys when we rounded the first corner. I didn’t bother saying goodnight, neither of them deserved my pleasantries at the moment.

Kate and Sarah were still out when I got back, so I got into bed with a book. I must have dosed off, though, because when I woke up, it was storming outside. Kate was fast asleep, and Sarah was tossing and turning, but looked to be asleep also.

Something felt wrong though. I looked closer, and her face was showing that she was in distress. She must have been having a nightmare. I stood up to wake her, but that was when I saw a spider crawling out of her ear, and she sat upright with a start.

She looked at me, then at Kate, then back at me. I pointed down to the covers where the spider was, but when we looked at it there was nothing there.

Sarah and I shared one last look, but I couldn’t completely decipher her face, and it didn’t seem like she could read mine either. I scooted back into my bed, wide awake now. I curled up, knees to my chest and started out the window.

I didn’t get any real sleep, the suspicion of something not being right weighing on my shoulders. I probably dosed a few times before deciding sleep was a lost cause, and just getting up. By then some of the early risers were up too, so I got dressed quietly, and left the dorm.

I walked the halls for a while before going to the spot where Tyler, Reid, and I always meet up before class. They were walking up as I was.

“Woah, baby Simms, you look like hell.” Reid said, oh so charmingly.

“Yeah, what happened to you?” Tyler asked.

“I- did either of you- nevermind.” I stuttered out.

“No, did either of us what?” Reid asked.

“Did either of you use last night? Like, to play a joke on Sarah or something?” I looked at Reid, before Tyler jumped in.

“See? I told you I felt someone using.” He said.

I got goosebumps, because I don’t even have powers, and twin telepathy alone was enough to let me know someone was doing something bad. Caleb and Sarah seemed to really hit it off, so I doubt it was him. That left Pogue, but that didn’t seem right either.

Romantic Pogue Thoughts.

Pogue issuch an old fashioned romantic. Always picks you up before a date and he doesn't just drive you home, he walks you right up to the door and opens it for you; gives you his jacket when it's chilly out; pulls out a chair for you; just a total gentleman at heart. Honestly, Pogue makes other guys look like losers compared to him, he's just that good and barely has to try to do it.

He takes things slow, even before you’re dating, but that’s just his way. Pogue wants to be careful with the partner he chooses, knowing how important this is., and at first, he just thought you were cute. Flirted a little bit, stole lingering glances when you weren’t looking, thought about you a lot, it takes a while to finally make a move. But when it got to the point he was having dreams about you and getting pissed when some other guy hit on you, Pogue figured this was more than a crush and asked you out. And he was so smooth about it too, driving up on his bike while you were walking home one day and telling you that you really should go out with him sometime.

"Like a date?"

"Yeah, like a date," he replied. "Dinner, dancing, all the classics."

And it's sort of the best date ever, Pogue walking you home that night, holding your hand all the way. He didn't kiss you at first, even though he wanted to, leaving you at the door and wishing you a goodnight. But halfway down the drive, he thought, fuck it. So he turned around, pulled you into his arms, and kissed you the way he'd been dreaming of for weeks. Now he gets to kiss you every day and he takes full advantage of that

Pogue is SO supportive. Giving a presentation in class? He'll purposely ask a perfect question that allows you to expand on a certain topic (and if he can't be there, he'll get one of his friends to do it). Got a game or event of some kind? He's right there, giving you a kiss for good luck. Pogue has read your favorite books, listened to the bands you like, knows everything about you and loves it all.

Very touchy, very affectionate, he always has to be touching you to some degree. Playing with your hair, stealing a kiss, holding your hand, an arm around your shoulders or waist, pulling you onto his lap. The coven teases him for it, especially Caleb, but he couldn't care less.

"Dude, how about you two get a room?"

"Hey, how about you get a life?"

He wears thick silver rings, some plain and some with designs and at some point, he accidentally leaves one with you. When you try to give it back, he tells you to keep it and calls it a "promise ring." It's too big for you to wear it on your hand, so you keep it on a chain around your neck and he loves that. The way the silver shines against your skin, the ring falling just between your breasts...always kissing your neck, playing with the chain, tugging you closer, the man is OBSESSED.

Some idiot hits on you right in front of him, to the point of trying to touch you, only for you to slap his hand away as he calls you a cunt. Pogue isn't even going to waste magic on this bitch, no, he handles this the old fashioned way: takes him outside, beats the hell out of him, and makes it clear what's going to happen if the guy ever looks at you funny. Then Pogue turns around and returns to you, promising that the bastard won't dare do it again.

He keeps a few pictures of you around at all times. One in his wallet, some on his bedroom mirror and in the garage, where he keeps his tools, a few more in a box where he keeps mementos of your relationship.

Pogue likes to write. Horror stories, mysteries, and historical fiction mostly. It's something not a lot of people know about him (he's pretty private) but he's actually a really talented writer and lets you read his stuff later in the relationship. And when you tell him how much you like it and how certain you are that he'll be published one day, he can't stop himself from smiling like an idiot. He will be published one of these days and his first book is dedicated to you, of course.

Very overprotective of you, to the point where you have to call him on it. Pogue cannot help it, the feeling comes naturally to him, but he does recognize that he can be overbearing at the worst of times and works on that.

Pogue struggles to open up, he's the kind of man who keeps his cards close. But by doing so, he pushes you away and calls it protection, his actions nearly costing him your relationship. Once he sees this and realizes how much he loves you, Pogue will finally tell you everything.

Loves seeing you in his clothes, especially his jacket around others (it's like he's claiming you with a silent mine) and his oversized t-shirts in private, when you stay the night with him. You used to bring your own clothes when you stayed over but they always seemed to vanish (hmmm, I wonder why) so you just gave up.

If you have a job, he WILL show up and very sweetly bother you. Waitress at a local place? He and the coven are there at least a couple times a week, Pogue flirting the whole time and leaving a massive tip (he also punishes any and all patrons who are rude to you and the rest of the staff because fuck that noise). Helping out at the school library? Well, he just so happens to be studying and could you help him find this particular book in a dark, quiet, perfect for making out the corner of the library? He'll be certain to reward you for it.

Calls you every night before bed just to hear your voice. Pogue loves your voice, the way you say his name, whispering as to not wake anybody up, smothering laughter when he says something sweet. It's his favorite ritual and he honestly can't sleep without it. The day you move in together and he gets to hold you and talk to you every night, my god, he's just in heaven.

Loves to take you on long bike rides out to some pretty place, quiet and peaceful. It's just the two of you, hiding from the whole damn world and being so, so in love and that's how he likes it.

Pogue is the first guy you brought home that your dad actually liked (mostly because he grew up with Mr. Perry and thinks well of him) and he's so smug about that. Wins over the whole family in a single night and comes over a couple times a month for dinner, always clears the table and helps with the dishes. Reid calls him a dork for this, but Pogue just points out that NONE of Reid's "meet the parents" moments have ever gone well and maybe there's a reason for that.

He shows you his magic through something beautiful: snow in the summer. You love snow and, wanting to ease you into the strangeness, he makes something he knows you'd like. At first, Pogue is so afraid that you'll still be scared, that you'll reject him. But all you do is kiss him, snow melting between your lips and making everything okay...maybe that's your sort of magic.

"I love you, Pogue..."

Pogue stresses a lot and you see that. You're always there for him, always comforting him and listening to him vent, taking up for him when others talk trash behind his back. And he loves that about you, loyalty is something he deeply values.

Pogue knows he wants to marry you about a year and a half into the relationship. Something went down and, instead of being afraid, you had remained by his side the whole time, his rock in the tempest of everything. And in that moment, he knew he wanted to marry you, buying a ring in secret and holding onto it until the time was right and he knew it was what you wanted to. And after that…

I headcanon Chase's charade to get to Pogue is being that one really close gay friend with Kate but Pogue just assumes that he tryna hit on Kate to get to him.

I mean I'm really convinced that Chase is Gay. I'm sorry not sorry. No way he is straight, no way he only wants Caleb's power.

For some reasons I think Chase would not know who Harry Potter is, like imagine during his times tryna fit in the covegang with Reid and Tyler “Talks about fantasy novel- that one scene from Harry Potter doesn't make any sense! I literally cou- ouch, Tyler! If I had magic I could do it so much better! Harry Potter can kiss my ass.” “haha, right.” ... “who the fuck is Harry Potter.”

AND WE DEFINITELY NEEDS MORE OF CHASE BACKSTORY, I REALLY WANNA KNOW IF HE IS PURE EVIL OR JUST BROKEN.

Why I think Chase would listen to Limp Bizkit and Britney Spears at the same time.

Rip. You would love Lady Gaga

I wish they make a remake of this movie and make either Sarah or Kate more essential, like Sarah has potential ain't no way I would read a history book about my bf's ancestors, it sounds too much like stalking no thanks. They could have make Sarah fights through Chase's magic when he makes her sleep and when Sarah wakes up again she can help Caleb.

(sorry for the gif, it's the only one with Sarah I could find)

And let's go to the friendship topic of this movie because why wouldn't they help him in the end, I know, I know. Pogue was in the hospital which is valid, Reid and Tyler were told by Caleb not to follow and help him but since when do these two listen? They don't have to kill Caleb's dad, or if they really want kill him just make Chase extra evil and him comes for his power.

And talking about dads and family where are others' at? Are they orphans? Do all of the covenant members have human raisins in their safehouse somewhere in the forest? I need them to explore more on that, and I would like to see some of their dads look their age or a bit older because he really knows how to control his power.

I really wanna see a witch, seriously, I need it.

Flashbacks to the og covenant members, John Putnam and allat yk...

And their powers... IT'S ALL THE SAME, I really love the elements headcanon, personally I think Caleb would be water, Chase would be fire (because of how he was thrown into the fire in the last scene we saw him but there's no remains of him, he's probably alive somewhere. But he could be thrown into some void which is my fav theory lol) Pogue would be earth, Reid would be wind and Tyler would be Spirit. BUTTT I really wanna hear from everyone's thoughts, I luv collecting them like they are dolls.

I wanna know why they call them sons of Ipswich because I zoned out a lot during the movie, I have problems.

If there are some charms or anything that will bring normal humans a power like them, it would be fun to watch.
